… but it’s my most successful attempt at latte art so far. I also know the foam could be better, but I’m really chuffed about the progress I’m making and wanted to share it! [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/3d30ab0c-289f-4890-8985-94513c96d031.jpeg]
Problems with the clipboard in Wayland/Hyprland/Alacritty
Problems with the clipboard in Wayland/Hyprland/Alacritty - Lemmy.World
I recently started the process of switching over to wayland and, so far, it’s going reasonably well. There are still a few things to get working, but I’m happy with the progress speed. One of the more annoying problems, however, is using the clipboard. I’m mostly seeing it in Alacritty - which I didn’t really use before, so maybe that’s the culprit, but the normal select/middle click doesn’t seem to work consistently. Sometimes I does and occasionally it just doesn’t. Same for CTRL-C/CTRL-V. Either nothing gets pasted or is pastes something I selected 20 minutes ago and had forgotten about - but I can’t replace the clipboard for love nor money. Any suggestions on this gratefully received. Ideally, I’d like it to work how it did before and consistently - which is that either of the two above mentioned methods worked. Thanks in advance.
Trying to get my head around sfwbar configs.
Trying to get my head around sfwbar configs. - Lemmy.World
In my recent experiments with Wayland, I find my self still very much trying to decide on a decent panel. At present, I am wrestling with the configs for sfwbar - mainly because the documentation seems fairly sparse. Lots other people seem to use it, though, so it must be possible to figure it out. I’m currently struggling with three particular aspects: 1) How to prevent windows maximising over or under the bar. At the moment the bottom of all my windows is hidden under the panel. 2) Configuring some sort of network data for the widget. At the moment I have a very simple LAN icon which, as a tooltip, displays static information that I could easily obtain with a simple “ip a”. What I really want is, at the very least, some way of monitoring when my interface is transferring data in one direction or the other. If it could tell me the amount of data that would be perfect. All I’ve been able to figure out so far from what docs there are is that it might be something to do with a NetStat function. How to use this function, however, is far from clear and I can’t find examples. 3) How to get a bar on each of my monitors that, ideally, displays icons for only the windows on that monitor. Any help gratefully received - thanks in advance!
My Initial Experience with Wayland on Arch and Nvidia
My Initial Experience with Wayland on Arch and Nvidia - Lemmy.World
I was, until recently, under the impression that it wasn’t even worth bothering with wayland if you had an Nvidia GPU - as I do (GTX 1070). There was a recent post somewhere, however, where someone talked about their experiences with wayland on an Nvidia system. In my shock - I thought I’d give it a go. Here are my impressions and also some questions. Firstly, I was amazed at how easy it was. I decided to go with labwc because I use and love openbox on xorg, so I thought I’d be comfortable there. I installed it and, well, it just worked. I was a little underwhelmed at the completely blank screen I saw, but then I realised that it was actually working when I right clicked and a (tiny) menu appeared offering me the choices of reconfiguring or exiting. I was somewhat surprised to not have any kind of mouse cursor at all. This was fixed by adding WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1 to ~/.config/labwc/environment. I’d like a better fix for this, but it seems to work for the moment. Most of the apps I’ve tried run directly on wayland instead of XWayland - steam being the only exception so far. Steam seems to run well enough, though and the one game I’ve actually tried (Hollow Knight) ran, as far as I could tell in 5 minutes, perfectly. I’ve since been messing around with various things like waybar and setting up the menu on my desktop and it seems to all be working well at the moment. I used albert as my launcher on openbox, but that doesn’t seem to work on wayland. I found a post about a guy who managed to get it to work, but it sounds like the performance simply wasn’t worth the effort. So my first question: is there a launcher similar to albert that runs on Wayland? All my efforts to find something have so far come up blank. I mean, there are several options for launchers, but none as nice as albert that I’ve found yet… Fuzzel has potential, but it still doesn’t look as good. One of the main things I miss from openbox is the slit. As far as I can tell - it simply isn’t supported on labwc or any other compositor I’ve been able to find - is that true? I can probably work around it using waybar modules or similar, but still… I think that covers everything so far - I would certainly appreciate any tips/suggestions that any of you might have though!
Good place for downloading digital comic books?
Good place for downloading digital comic books? - Lemmy.World
Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this. I have a reasonably sized digital comic book collection - mostly bought through Comixology before they were taken over by Amazon. It was easy then to remove the DRM and have a free version of the books in my collection. Since you now have to go through Amazon it’s not so easy. I figured the easiest way to get the remaining books that I never got round to downloading would be to pirate them - I assume via torrenting or Usenet. It’s been a long time since I’ve used either and, for all I know, there’s a better way. The fact is, though, I can’t find very much content out there, but surely I’m not the only one who wants to download this kind of content? So my question is - What’s the best method for downloading comic books and where is the best online location for finding them?
Looking for retro game recommendations
What dotfiles manager do you use?
What dotfiles manager do you use? - Lemmy.World
I’m looking for recommendations for a dotfile manager - there are so many out there I’ve got a bit of options paralysis! I’d like a system that can backup all my dotfiles - with version management - and, if I nuked my home directory, could restore them all for me with a simple command. Thanks in advance for you suggestions!

Bellman Stovetop - pressure gauge or no?
Bellman Stovetop - pressure gauge or no? - Lemmy.world
After my consideration about milk foaming here [https://lemmy.world/post/5769020], I’m now considering getting a Bellman Stovetop steamer. First of all - does anyone have any experience with it, bad or good, they’d like to share? Secondly, I’m unsure whether to get the one with the gauge or not. I’ve read in a few places that it’s actually not quite as good with the gauge - that it doesn’t actually generate as much pressure. It’s also more expensive and money is definitely an issue. I’ve also read that, with the one without a gauge, you can tell when it’s up to pressure with the pressure safety valve. However, I’ve also seen some retailers very firmly saying to not do this. It occurs to me that this might jsut be to cover themselves legally or whether it’s actually a bad idea. If there is a clear way to tell when it’s up to pressure without a gauge, then it’s obviously better to get that if only because it’s cheaper. It would need to be possible to reliably tell in advance if it’s there or not though. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
