I like the idea of X forwarding, but it doesn’t work in real world anymore. As far as I know, it has to do many round-trips for everything. Launching something like LibreOffice Writer is funny, it will be loading bit by bit, icon by icon for several minutes. It was only usable for me on < 1ms network.
Unlike say VNC, it opens windows locally.
And now there’s Waypipe which does the same thing, but for Wayland. And it actually works! Even better than VNC.
BUT, it doesn’t work for X programs. It can somewhat work with rootful Xwayland… but that’s basically a desktop for X-only programs.

I didn’t know XFCE can do Wayland now.Anyway, this cursed thing does actually work pretty fine.
xfce4-sessionworks with Waypipe, good to know.

this is actually still very useful for vms, containers, etc. even over LAN it’s quite usable for ~gtk2 programs.
@cm0002@lemy.lol Could you at least cross-post like a normal person or link to OP? Hard to reply like this.
If only I had friends I would’ve bought two!
It works with the a Scottish accent too!
Talk about scorched earth.
I found some frozen burger patties in the freezer but didn’t have buns or the ability to buy any. So I made some.
While thinking about the side dish I figured I would make some potato chips and try making carrot chips too. Learned that carrot chips need to be a bit thicker than potatoes. And that they will turn your oil orange.
Beef was free from prior house guests. Cost per person $1.25
Exactly. It’s a self limiting process.
Maybe, but that will be a wonderful few minutes.
altr Lemon pepper salmon steak, roasted broccoli, and gnocchi in basil pesto.
I’m really happy with how it turned out. I was going to make the gnocchi from scratch, but I was running behind and saw them premade at the store. The roasted broccoli has become a staple in the house now. So freaking good.
Did you use lemon juice on the steak?
It was a lemon pepper marinade, so yeah.
Yep.
FediGroups works with all the popular server types – Mastodon, Misskey, Firefish, Iceshrimp, Sharkey, Catodon, Friendica
Weird exclusion of all threadiverse server types, there.
Yep, but to get those features you have to access it from the piefed/lemmy instance. gup.pe/friendica style groups predate lemmy though, and were designed to be accessed from your mastodon/fediverse account, rather than being signed in to directly.
CISA flagged two Roundcube Webmail vulnerabilities as actively exploited in attacks and ordered U.S. federal agencies to patch them within three weeks.
thanks just updated then

This past week, there has been some controversy about the new Plasma Login Manager, which launched with KDE Plasma 6.6 and requires systemd. Soon after, KaOS surprisingly announced it would stop using Plasma as its desktop environment.
Which, whichever way you look at it, is a significant shift, considering KaOS has used KDE for 12 years for its primary and only desktop environment and has always promoted itself as a Qt-focused and GTK-free Linux distribution.
As a response (though not directly addressing KaOS), KDE later shared its position on the matter, which I covered here. And then, a few days ago, KaOS posted an explanation of its decision on its official website.

Why not just keep using SDDM with KDE Plasma?
It would be my honor to present my butthole to the President of the United States.
