Kind of a small thing, but I use an Ultrawide monitor with Sway, so I wrote a oneliner to swap to a higher or lower display scale depending on the workspace I’m on. I like to game in full rez while I’d write code or read with a HiDPI resolution that’s easier to squint at. Also adding hotkeys to change scaling on demand is nice

Technology@lemmy.world•PlayStation Wants To Prove In Court That You Don't Own Your Digital Games
62·3 days agoI would agree, but most leases have stipulations that restrict voiding the contract “at any moment”. You have to do something to violate the lease agreement most times so this is even worse than renting.
but on desktop Linux you need to either create a new user (and remove world-readable permissions from your main account files), or create a custom Docker container, or create a chroot, or launch a VM
You don’t need to do any of that stuff to achieve application sandboxing. bubblewrap or firejail exist for exactly this purpose. Firejail in particular can integrate with AppArmor (which most mainstream distros that aren’t RHEL or Fedora ship with) so you get MAC on top of sandboxing.

Technology@lemmy.world•Gaming PC deflects bullet shot through wall by neighbour, saving owner's life — criminal negligence charges for culprit who claims 'firearm was accidentally discharged by her dog'
18·3 months agoIt baffles me that this person had to:
- Have their firearm and ammo in proximity without the intent to immediately discharge it
- Have their firearm LOADED in their own home without the intent to discharge it.
- “theoretically” leave it LOADED and unattended in their home long enough for “their dog” to discharge it.
Yeah this is absolutely the type of person who should not be allowed to handle firearms.

Technology@lemmy.world•Oura launches Ring 5, world’s smallest smart ring, as it heads towards IPO
1·3 months agoOh gotcha. Yeah I agree it’s a cool concept. Having accurate HR and sleep patterns from a ring was why I looked into this originally. Really wish there were more players in this market so my options weren’t so limited. I understand GadgetBridge has some Smart rings it already works with, but feedback has been scarce.

Technology@lemmy.world•Oura launches Ring 5, world’s smallest smart ring, as it heads towards IPO
0·3 months agoDoesn’t it require a yearly subscription to even use the ring? Not sure if that’s changed over the years, but I recall that being a big reason not to even bother
it would have been nice if that was in the documentation
Its been in the docs for at least 7 years now (check the Last Modified date).
It’s just way easier to get helix to a usable state for the languages I write in than it is with vim. I don’t have to go plugin hunting or vetting random github repos; all the support mostly comes shipped with the editor. Throw some lines in TOML file and you’re good, vs downloading a plugin manager, downloading plugins, configuring those plugins and hoping you got everything right and the plugin repo’s README isn’t 10 years out of date.
vim feels like a downgrade.
100%
I use it where it’s available and helix isn’t

5·4 months agotoo busy… with bugs.
with duplicate bug reports.
“the continued flood of AI reports has basically made the security list almost entirely unmanageable, with enormous duplication due to different people finding the same things with the same tools.”

You register a new device on your tailnet and advertise it as an exit node. When other devices on your tailnet use the exit node all of their traffic goes through that device. If that exit node has a wireguard connection setup, all other devices using it will also use that same connection. The only tricky part was making sure wg-quick’s systemd service starts before tailscaled’s does (mentioned that in my op).
Tailscale offers this as a service but I dont use tailscale directly. I basically set this up manually and use headscale as my control server instead of using tailscale’s control servers.
I’m only using 1 vpn provider (mullvad) and using a wireguard config for 1 location. Headscale provides my mesh network controller, and pihole is a dns server. Not sure how you came to that conclusion
personally I just use headscale with tailscale clients and mullvad vpn via wireguard on the control server. there’s a bit of systemd magic required to make sure wg-quick starts before headscale does. dns is setup via a pihole device and I just point headscale’s config at that device for dns. it’s a pretty simple setup, but I have no issue doing everything via cli so this works well for me.

Still looks like they allow it as long as it gets approval by the core team. Not saying I agree with that choice, but there’s still a very real chance LLM-generated code makes it into NetBSD.
