Uh... This reminds me of that one doujin... ๐Ÿค”

I used one called Go!Zilla. I remember the UI being somewhat similar to Winamp, and that I liked to configure it to think that my connection speed was 14.4 kbps so the "speed graph" was always in the "high speed download" zone when I was downloading at 50 kbps ๐Ÿ˜….

I love and use the Unsolved Mysteries intro song for calls, and a generic one from my phone for alarms.

I have a refrigerator from around 1988 or 1989 that still works perfectly. Around 1999, it stopped working, so we bought a new one. We didn't throw away the old fridge because we used it to store plates and cutlery, but we were sure that it was completely broken. Then, last year, a technician saw it and told us that only a component needed to be replaced for it to work again. Lo and behold, the damn thing was revived, and after a two-decade slumber it worked again as if no time had passed.

I still have one of those! ๐Ÿ˜†

Didn't use it too much, tho. Never installed it on bare metal, only in a VM, and back in those days I was in my distro-hopping phase (I was discovering Arch), so I tested it and quickly forgot about it.

Actually, I would really like to find a similarly non-bland proportional character to use beside it.

Well, there's Fira Sans, but I don't know if it's what you want. I like to use it for things like slides and titles, and I've used it as a GUI typography for some time.

I use Fira Code Retina. I like that it is not too light, not too bold. I'm also partial to Cascadia Code and DejaVu Mono.

For the GUI, I use Adwaita Sans in both my GNOME and XFCE computers.

I have this one from Mexico and Argentina, from 2006.

I'm well past the age where distrohopping is "cool" (and I don't have the time for it anymore). So I take a pragmatic approach to choosing which distro to install on my systems.

  • Fedora Workstation on my main laptop because it's the distro that works better on it, it has reasonably up-to-date software without the hassle and problems sometimes present with rolling releases, and I really like the native GNOME workflow.
  • Linux Mint XFCE on my spare laptop because it only has 6GB of RAM (I plan to upgrade it, but it's not a priority right now) and sometimes I lend it to my mother and nephew, and XFCE is a very easy to use DE. Also, LM is stable and does not cause unnecessary problems, and has support for the laptop's touchscreen right out of the box.
  • Debian 12 LXQt on a netbook which I use occasionally, mainly when I'm feeling like just browsing Gopher and Gemini.
  • Debian 12 32-bit headless on my home server, which is just an old netbook I got for free. I have my music collection on it, which I listen to via MPD. It also serves as the main node of my Syncthing setup.

I've used many others in the past (Arch, Endeavour, openSuse, Slackware, Slax, etc.), but right now I think that the Fedora-Debian-Mint combo is the best for my needs.

Hello. I want to write an Udev rule to change my laptops's EasyEffects profile whenever I connect a speaker set or headphones to the 3.5mm jack. The concept is relatively simple: when I connect something to the jack, I want it to fire a script that will set this Dconf setting:

gsettings set com.github.wwmm.easyeffects last-loaded-output-preset 'None'

And when I unplug the speakers/headphones, it'll set this:

gsettings set com.github.wwmm.easyeffects last-loaded-output-preset 'Laptop'

("None" and "Laptop" are EasyEffects profiles).

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find useful info, since almost all of the results I found online refer to Bluetooth or USB devices. I checked within /sys/class/sound/ and /dev/ for a file where I could query the status of the jack (something like "connected"/"disconnected") but I can't find something relevant. I have a similar rule that changes GNOME's font scaling when I plug my HDMI display, and it does that by running this script:

function monitorConnected () {
  statuses=$(cat /sys/class/drm/card1-HDMI-A-{1,2,3,4}/status 2>/dev/null)    
  for status in ${statuses[@]}                                                
  do                                                                          
        [[ ${status} == "connected" ]] && return 0                              
  done                                                                        
  return 1                                                                    
  }

So I thought that I could do something similar for the 3.5mm jack. Or maybe there's another method? Any hints? My OS is Fedora 41 and I'm using Pipewire, btw.
