I wasn't sure if Lemmuy-UI in the results list was a typo or an alternative interface. Now I know. 😄

Just the other day, I was thinking about how nice it would be for the team behind lemmy.ca to expand into other Fediverse services. I'm glad to see it's on the roadmap. The future is looking brighter for non-corporate social media in Canada.

No! I recently started going back to the office, so the Google One VPN was an easy way for me to bypass the restrictions on my company's Wi-Fi network.

APM is Advanced Power Management. I'm having trouble finding an official explanation for it, but it basically allows the hard drive to park the head when the OS thinks it's idle. My hard drive makes a loud "click" every time that happens. APM is too aggressive, so my hard drive is constantly clicking unless I disable APM.

Recently, I've been changing distros about once a year. These are the things I install every time:

  • hdparm - I use this to disable APM on my HDD which makes annoying sounds when it's enabled. (Yes, my computer is old and still uses an HDD as the system drive.)
  • KeePassXC - My preferred password manager.
  • VeraCrypt - My external drives are encrypted with this.
  • Joplin - I store my setup notes in here.
  • Lutris/Steam/Wine - I'm a gamer.

As for the config files, I always start fresh.

"Compact powerhouse" caught my attention. Unfortunately, "compact" is a 6.36 inch screen.

Unlike apt in Debian-based distros, zypper in OpenSUSE does not have an autoremove command that removes the unneeded dependencies of packages that were removed. To keep your system clean, use the --clean-deps option when removing packages.

I will never forget the time I saw my classmate clean his glasses by licking them. It wasn't a small lick. The lenses were covered in his saliva afterwards. 🤮

TIL there's an organization called Mopria that develops universal printing standards. As a computer geek who works in the tech industry, I'm surprised I've never heard of this before.

FYI, the translation feature is available in the current stable version (v117), but it's disabled by default. To enable it, go to about:config and set browser.translations.enable to true. I tried it earlier on a German website and it worked well.
