RethinkDNS includes a WireGuard option since v0.5.5. The development team was sponsored in 2020 by Mozilla's now-defunct "Builders Program." Rethink was originally an on-device "VPN"[1] with a DNS...
I use offlineimap to synchronize my mail, and I have the directory set up as a local folder in KMail. Currently, I open KMail and also run offlineimap to synchronize my mail. Is there a way to mak...
My keyboard is getting old and occasionally I notice the key presses don't quite register. This keyboard uses membrane switches so I can see how they would wear out after a while and not be as resp...
On my work laptop, I have realized that I have a rather low disk space on the system drive. I have run a disk usage application (Run as Admin) to try to understand what is taking so much space and ...
When I receive a call with Google Voice open in a browser on my desktop, it only rings briefly in the browser (about 2 seconds). After that, my phone starts ringing. When I'm at my computer, I wan...
There's a new WireGuard app on F-Droid called WG Tunnel, probably owing to dissatisfaction with the official app. It claims to sport a quick toggle in the drawer, and you can split-tunnel by appli...
This is a small call center with maybe 20 employees. I do not know how many calls it is taking per day, how many field agents it is remotely dispatching, or how many customers it has, but you can e...
I'm using the note taking app obsidian. In one of my notes I have a mermaid/gantt diagram which looks like this: Source code: ```mermaid gantt tickInterval 1day axisFormat %d %b dateFormat...
I use Cheese to take photos with my webcam. The photos get saved under ~/Pictures/Webcam which I don't like. I want them somewhere else. In typical, presumptuous Gnome fashion, there is no UI in C...
I have a more powerful computer and Matlab 2020 does the simple calculation with reasonable speed on it: >> tic;6+4;toc; Elapsed time is 0.000156 seconds. Therefore I think it's simply t...
There is actually a little app to change the behaviour of the green button called "Right Zoom": https://blazingtools.com/right_zoom_mac.html Caveat: The button will still go into full screen for ...
This is triggered by holding Alt and rolling the scrollwheel (or, on a touchpad, moving two fingers vertically). Since you mention sticky keys: If they are on, the Alt keypress and the scroll even...
Right-click the folder whose mail you want to download and click download messages in the context menu. This is absent from the manual (I suppose one is expected to discover it in the GUI) and ther...
How sad. I remember playing Diablo 2 as a wee lad, I think my computer at the time was a Celeron with an S3 Savage video card with 8 MB of memory. And then we have this "remake", probably with bloa...
I tend to use a keyboard and a video capture card - I run a ~5 dollar one off aliexpress that looks a little like this. HDMI goes into one end, you plug it into an available USB port, and it act...
I run a self built router setup, running Kea as a DHCP server, firewalld for managing the firewall, and dns hosted elsewhere. Its currently running in a test configuration behind a known good netwo...
Let's take a look at what WAVE is telling us. A <button> element is present that contains no text content (or alternative text), or an <input type="submit">, <input type="button...
You don't need smartindent, but you need autoindent plus n in formatoptions: setlocal formatoptions+=n. This is what its documentation (:h fo-table, for format options) says: When formatting tex...
I replaced my laptop's RAM. I believe the new RAM should have a latency of 18CL at 3200MT/s. But decode-dimms lists the timings as "A-RCD-RP-RAS (cycles) as DDR4-3200 22-22-22-52". Why is the CAL l...

Before March 22 2021, AOL synced with my desktop Microsoft Outlook software swimmingly! Since then, Outlook updated itself. But I changed NOTHING for both my AOL or Outlook. Outlook keeps sending ...
I have an HP ZBook laptop running Windows 10. This is a work machine with a corporate-controlled OS image, but I have some admin rights on the machine.[1] The machine was issued to me about 20 mo...
If you print out ls than you will see disks. You have to check which have your Linux. One by one you have to try following commands. set boot=(hd0,msdosN) #N is number is disk. set prefix=(h...
This is a guess, but it looks like the paragraph starting with "36" just fits on the page when there is no space above it. When you add the blank line, it doesn't fit anymore. There is probably a...
