So you can use #i3wm while still running a #kde desktop.

Why using a tiling window manager? Because conventional multimonitor environments: are painful to use: windows show up in any display, you cannot change to them without pointing to them with the mouse (or worse, mouse+click) ...and I always like to use all my screen space, instead of seeing the background.

@crispin @podcastlinux A mí eso me suena a #yoctolinux https://www.yoctoproject.org/

Cutting network access for a process without writing specific configuration with #firejail:

firejail --net=none program [args]

I just learned that #obs can record each audio input source to a different track, so you can mix or modify them at will later, instead of having them "glued" together.

I didn't realize that modern email clients as #thunderbird obfuscated the subject of a message, just showing "..." instead of the real one. I knew #deltachat did that since the beginning, maybe it's something related to #autocrypt

Anyway, that's great news since this is something that you won't have to remember again when writing #gpg encrypted messages.

Some niceties as being able to read several fediverse servers at once, not only mastodon, get notifications, watch the whole timeline and not only qoto's (which I don't know how to do from the web) easier sharing intentions with android, and several more I don't remember right now 🙂

I left #fedilab years ago because it was constantly crashing on me, and I used #tusky instead. Now that tusky muting and following features have been broken for some time, I got back to fedilab.

Things have improved a lot and I'm happy with it, it's my daily driver now.

Oops, I was wrong, that only allows access from localhost and the docker subnet.

The solution comes directly from docker's documentation: there is a chain, DOCKER-USER, that can be used to filter local traffic:

iptables -I DOCKER-USER -i wlan0 ! -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j DROP

https://docs.docker.com/network/iptables/#restrict-connections-to-the-docker-host

#docker #ufw

Finally tried #pihole with #docker. Everything works flawlessly, but I realized as a nasty surprise that docker bypasses #ufw, so I could potentially open my DNS server to the world.

Even they are several and complicated lists of rules to make ufw catch this, luckily pihole developers created an option "settings→DNS→Allow only local requests" that only lets the local network query the server.

Re-encoding videos with the aid of several computers in parallel.

#ffmpeg #gnuparallel

"Have you heard of our lord and saviour GNU parallel?"

#gnuparallel

Finally I got #anbox to work. I use it to try apps instead of installing them on the phone.

I revisited #k9mail after a long time, but I still very much prefer #fairemail, it has so many more features.

@nwerneck yes, but it's all checked at compile time, so there's no big difference with respect to the rest of the cases.

gnupg.org is self-sustainable now:
