From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm pretty sure no one else has my shell script that takes a picture, uses imagemagick to copy a scaled down version of it to a special folder, and then build a string that allows me to just middle click paste the image into Rednotebook so it appears correctly.
ooh I should do that for Obsidian instead of having an enormous directory of Pasted Image 202302050124300845012.pngs. =◡=
I use https://github.com/trganda/obsidian-attachment-management to automatically rename and move screenshots, in conjunction with https://github.com/Mara-Li/obsidian-explorer-hider to hide them. It makes pasting screenshots organized, yet completely transparent.
I use this app (webapps is the name I think) to make apps for YouTube, Mubi and TorrentLeech and I have then pinned on the task bar and use them as apps instead of webpages. This is in my hometheater pc
Custom cowsay written in Rust that pulls German song lyrics from my favorite band from a text file?
Definitely not nobody but statistically VERY FEW people will have this combination:
Edit: nice try to fingerprint me, big tech. You succeeded! /j
Triangulating your location. Are you... in the Milky Way Galaxy?

I have a meshtastic script that runs once a day that sends a weather report for our local area at 6:00 am. It was based off a script that some awesome person did. I also have a script that once a week sends out ham/meshtastic events to all local people. Its worked out pretty well.
CTRL+SHIFT+L to sync my room lights to the screen using huenicorn. Plan on hooking up openrgb as well when I can be bothered to write a script.
On my desktop, I wrote a Python script that pulls a random Star Trek: The Next Generation or Deep Space Nine script from a folder and prints it in STDOUT. I use this in the XScreenSaver Text Manipulation > Program option to turn Star Trek into a screen saver.
Currently, I use it with the Apple II screensaver, but in its original incarnation, I used the Star Wars intro screensaver. 😈
I spilled a glass of scrumpy on the keyboard and a, s, and d no longer work. So I have to use a keyboard with it.
So you have to use a keyboard with your keyboard...
With my laptop.
I've got a RPI running a full-screen 'kiosk' view from homeassitant that turns an external display on/off based on a motion sensor.
So basically it's showing current temperatures, thermostat control, etc. but I have the display turn off after X minutes of no movement and turn on when there has been movement so it's only on when you're in the room.
I'd love to see your implementation specs, code, pr any other technical details you'd like to share. I'm setting up home assistant and one of the things I want it to do is replace the functions of my thermostat and add some additional details.
I used to have a Nest Thermostat, but my furnace needed to be replaced a couple of months back and I got a Mitsubishi heat pump, but their thermostat sucks, and it isnt compatible with Nest because it's all wireless. I installed the WiFi add-on to the furnace so I can use the app, too, but it also sucks pretty bad. Plus I miss the functionality of it turning down the heat when I'm away to save money and turning it back on before I get home.
So I'm planning to implement my own solution and documenting and open sourcing everything. But it's going to be several months before I get to doing it due to other more urgent projects. So, I'm looking at everything available. I definitely will be setting up a small display to replace the thermostat and having motion detectors to turn on the display when you approach it to see the temperature and such and to supplement the home/away detection.
Anyway, I would love to see your implementation to see how you did this piece of it.
I use many KDE activities all mapped to a single hotkey. Meta+H, Meta+J, Meta+K, then L, Y, U, G.
I set my browser and maybe one other as sticky to show on all. I also have specific desktop picture for all of them.
On top of that I have a startup command that opens all applications I use for work. Each application is configured to open in a certain activity.
The end result is that instead of doing Alt-Tab or looking for the window I do Meta+Key and it's there in front of my eyes with focus.
I have scripts set up to switch between my desk setup and my home theater setup that swap monitor configurations with wlrandr and default audio devices in wireplumber. These scripts are triggered with the "Netflix" button on my Nvidia Shield remote via Home Assistant and SSH. Simultaneously on Home Assistant power to the peripherals on my desk is toggled, the TV input is toggled between the Nvidia Shield and the PC, my AV receiver settings are toggled, and if the PC was asleep, it's turned on with a WoL magic packet.
Coming from Windows, I set up KDE's Spectacle to open with Super + Shift + S in Area Select Mode and save and copy to clipboard on click release
Maybe not as unique but kinda neat I think
Not unique, but we are now kindred (I did the same <:)
I do this too. just a very slick hot key combo imo
I have a custom script, which changes the fan profile (in my case between two thinkfan config files) depending whether the dock is connected or not. That one gets triggered whenever it switches the power source (AC or BAT0). (AC gets plugged in -> script starts -> check if dock is connected -> if connected run different profile)
It's janky but very helpful when it works :D
