So, I updated my #Slackware hard drive on my desktop PC and noticed a bunch of #KDE Plasma 6 packages from the ktown tree. I have slackpkg+ set up for multilib and a few other things and I guess I enabled ktown when I shouldn't have because I'm not on -current. Because of that misstep, I borked my KDE install. No biggie, I just removed the ktown entries and uninstalled only the ktown packages of KDE, then updated the list and gpg keys, and then reinstalled KDE, and it's now pulling all the packages from the slackware64 tree. I do believe that should resolve my issues. 
mradcliffeRe: Why does niri stop network connection on idle while sway does not?
Since most of my posts about #niri here have been a bit scattered I thought I would take some time to document what I have setup on Slackware current (non-systemd).
My main problem with niri is that idle is not detected properly as it is with sway, and will kick in while I am typing, in a video call, or seemingly at random. I could live with this, but my network connection is disrupted each time niri launches swayidle unlike sway which does not exhibit this behavior.
Most of the way things are setup to launch is so that screen capture will work.
I don't think any of the configuration accurately...

Émission à écouter d’urgence (un peu technique parfois 😜) : entre portage de #Linux sur mobile et enfermement applicatif, avec des délicieux bouts de vieux souvenirs de la fin des années 90, début 2000 ; j’ai eu une pensée émue pour ma #Slackware d’alors et mon bon vieux Sagem F@st 800… 🥲

Peter KotrčkaI'm using Firefox (based) browser on most of my computers but whenever I'm on my Slackware, I'm using Fallkon. And have no issues.
Is this the sign for me to switch? No, obviously not, because I also have a Windows machine I have to use (at work) so Firefox is more multi platform option. Plus the synchronization.
But it's nice to use something else.
MarkDone and dusted. I've created SlackoSundries, my totally random collection of Slackware pkgs. Right now: brave-origin-beta, the fresh-editor and bottom, a great h or btop replacement. Updates where applicable every Wednesday and Saturday. You can find it here:

notzed@alien alas probably not! From the front they look the same but now I've only got what I want installed and very little of what I don't. It served me well but I wanted to trim the fat plus consolidate updates with another machine which already runs #gentoo
I also have a fileserver which will stay #slackware for the forseeable future.
Alien BOB@notzed sad to see you go today. See you back tomorrow behind your refreshed #Slackware desktop again ;-)
Spent the last 24 hours moving my main desktop from #slackware to #gentoo. I'm a few bits and pieces short but I've got a very lean and solid foundation now.
I had no real problems with slackware but it was time for a refresh - although to be honest the process was somewhat tedious and it just feels oddly unsatisfying.
At least it was an appropriately rainy and shitty 24 hours for it, plus I was home to catch my illuminated magnifier before it set the house on fire (charred a cutting board!)
