I'm running 11 operating systems across my laptops & computers:
- Debian-Testing Gnome (my default)
- Linux Mint Cinnamon (my go-to)
- Ubuntu Gnome
- Fedora Mate
- SuSE Slowroll KDE
- EndeavourOS/Arch XFce
- Pop_OS Cosmic
- ElementaryOS Pantheon
- Haiku
- MacOS
- DietPi (navidrome server)

I wanted *BSD in there too, but it doesn't play nice as a partition (it prefers its own SSD).

Je suis un fan absolu des commandes et touches de déplacement #vim ! A tel point que j'ai même installé le #plugin vimium pour #librewolf

Quel bonheur de découvrir que KDE Plasma a une fonction de réallocation de la touche la plus inutile du clavier : j'ai nommé "caps lock".

Une petite manipulation dans les paramètres de #plasma et hop, me voilà avec une nouvelle touche ESC ! Et alors là, vim devient encore plus agréable à utiliser.

Vive #linux ! Vive le #foss !

After bringing self-hosted IRC server to life, I went and built a suite of IRC bots under the MansionNET project.

From real-time trivia and weather, to AI chat and private search, these bots are designed to make IRC a bit more modern (while keeping its charm intact).

Everything’s open source and up on GitHub:

github.com/MansionNET

Do take a look — contributions and feedback are more than welcome! 😊

MansionNET has 6 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

I really like non-destructive editing in Krita. In particular, I like using transform masks on clone layers to organize doodles onto a page without having to resize the source.

But.. if I use a lot of them at very high resolutions - like 8-10 2k panels at the same time.. on my old-ish CPU, Krita starts chugging.

Individually they're fine, but I think Krita recomputes all of them whenever a containing group is hidden.

Anypony have suggestions?

Built a secure DNS stack on OPNsense using:

- AdGuard Home for DNS filtering
- dnscrypt-proxy (Quad9 DoH)
- Dnsmasq for DHCP + .lan resolution

AdGuard forwards to dnscrypt-proxy + Dnsmasq.
I chose Dnsmasq (now default in 25.7) to keep DHCP + local DNS inside OPNsense, and AdGuard focused on filtering.
