Kontrast is the new KDE application that will help you pick the best (and most accessible) color combo for you site/app.
@amolith the butterfly keyboard is a war crime. The previous type with scissor switches is really nice, though, and they've gone back to scissors in the newest model.

@amolith I'm just used to fb2k. Haven't used the native music app, so it might be just fine, idk.
Another couple: Cryptomator, and you might like Alfred for search and launch stuff.
@amolith iTerm. Homebrew. KeePassXC. Foobar2000.
@dredmorbius Explicitly setting username for all hosts in %USERPROFILE%\.ssh\config does the job, thanks.
@dredmorbius I could try that. Thing is that I'm using Microsoft's sshd on my Windows machines to replace 'psexec \\[host] cmd', so that might break.
Not a huge deal to me since I have icons for Cygwin bash and the Windows command prompt in my Taskbar anyway.
@woozle If it's an option, my Brother multifunction can do scanning over its Ethernet connexion. Works on Linux via a script that installs drivers and sets up the printer for you.
@dredmorbius If I have Cygwin SSH login as '[domain\\userid]@[host]' it'll give me /var/empty again.
We shouldn't be using AD with MacOS as we do anyway; it's supposed to work better if you tell the Mac it's a local user account and then have a shim like NoMAD talk to AD on its behalf.
@dredmorbius I think I've got it figured out: it's something to do with how MacOS interacts with Active Directory.
From cmd: 'ssh [domain\userid]@[host]' gives me a home directory of /var/empty, just as 'ssh [host]' does.
'ssh [userid]@[host]' gives me the correct home directory of /Users/[userid].
Cygwin must not bother with trying to auth against AD unless explicitly told to.
@dredmorbius Dunno. I'll have to check tomorrow.
@dredmorbius Implementation maybe. They both have the same configuration.
The only other possible difference is that WinSSH is v7.7 while Cygwin's is 8.3.
This seems weird: when I SSH into a newer MacOS from my workstation, what home directory my user is assigned varies by which Windows shell (or perhaps SSH implementation) I'm using to get there.
cmd (I assume using Microsoft's SSH): /var/empty
Cygwin: /Users/[username]
The environment (i.e. what you see when you type "set") is quite different as well. Very strange.

The intelligibility of this is really interesting, because it suggests that the technological capacity to easily share complex still and moving images is incorporating them into quasi-written language as if they were universally intelligible ideograms.

I’ve commented before that Star Trek’s most prescient prediction was communication via memes in ‘Darmok’. So it was only a matter of time before someone started making these:

Can we please, please – PLEASE! not make the nonsensical US date format month/day/year the default in applications? 🤦♂️
PRE 👏 TTY 👏 PLEASE
And to all users of that format: it makes no sense, it's counter-intuitive, it makes collaboration frustrating, it introduces inconsistencies and errors... Just stop. Please. Use international standards.
(And don't get me started on your other units of weights, volumes and distances. Bloody hell.)
Boost if I'm right.

#ddrescueview is a #ddrescue map file viewer.
ddrescueview displays a ddrescue map file, including all rescued sectors, bad sectors, currently processing sectors, etc. ddrescueview supports viewing active map files with a configurable update rate. Sectors display detailed information when clicked. Sector types can be recoloured and reprioritized in the sector listing.

I think a big part of why modern social media (including Mastodon) is so bad is that it jettisoned the topic-based organization of Usenet/BBSs/forums. Like if you saw rec.nazism and loaded it up and saw Nazi shit, you would not be surprised.
The follower model doesn't have that, so shit's all over the map.
Instance blocking is sort of the same thing as that, but seems wildly inefficient to me.
Maybe we should just... go back to topic-based discussion.
