As I started using emojis also in some config files (i3status), I
started looking for a fix to my urxvt emoji problem and there was one
workaround which would have turned it very bad looking and suggestion to
use another terminal.
I looked at lists and decided to try terminology, even if this is too
fancy/flashy for my taste, but it doesn't have a visible menubar to
annoy me and the long pressing right click menu feeled intuitive, so I
guess I will be using this as I always install many heavy thigns anyway
(I haven't checked resource usage). And most importantly the emojis
work.
With the right click menu, I got this to look how I want within a minute
without learning yet another Xresources file.
I spend most of my morning trying to make this perfect, but as I cannot
reach perfection, maybe it is good enough.
I didn't see that much use for free space of / and trying to add
everything made it feel like too much information, so I ended up to
hiding some information and showing what seemed useful.
At the moment I see volume, load, WLAN signal & frequency, UTC & local
times (with timezone names) and the bar items which would probably be
configured somewhere else.
When I login and attempt to use dmenu, it will take a moment before that
is possible and I thought that having it load before I try to use it
would be nice. Then I found an issue about it and PR that closed it, but
didn't notice the commit is not in any released version so I typed this
in advance.
Firefox is going to annoy me by not floating sooner or later, so I think
it's better to float it and keep using it as the only thing in one
workspace.
* pgup/down navigation for workspaces, I may not use them, but I was
playing around
* add a lot of comments
* read the fine manual of i3lock, enable cursor that I often use to
check the device is alive, turn both backgrounds black and enable
showing of failed login attempts
* disable notify-send:ing volume changes when media keys are used as
pasystray does that by itself
* unfloat Firefox for now, even if I will likely need to float it again
when I attempt to use it on Zaldaryn.
Tor Browser requires floating even more than Firefox as there
privacy.resistfingerprinting is enabled by default and it warns you if
your window is bigger than it sets as that can be used for
fingerprinting.
I removed Galculator keybind accidentally in commit
a78dcdf452 and I have picked it, because
it's the default calculator app in MATE.
Adjusted from Jens Erat from
https://faq.i3wm.org/question/125/how-to-change-the-systems-volume.1.html
According to a comment this only works when something is playing, but I
think that is the only case when I need volume keys and is improvement
over it stopping working with volume devices changing. The proposed
cutting running again resulted to three devices being listed and thus
doesn't work.
I also have the volumeicon which I can use to adjust volume if I really
need to while there is nothing playing.
* remove some comments
* add Microsoft Corp. Wired Keyboard 600 (model 1576) keybinds for keys
I recognised and may use. Closes#98
* added keyboard layout setting to autostart
* set wallpaper to solid black
It seems that I am always going to enable it sooner or later anyway, so
why woulnd't I have it enabled for quick installing when I do need it?
Example: KDE Connect crashed on login, and asked me to report it, but
the reporter app warned that there is no address to report it and debug
information had one or two stars and said that it's likely bad quality
and I think this is due to missing debug symbols which I then installed.
Naturally after installing them, I am unable to reproduce the issue, but
that is beside the point.
I happened to wonder about reload times and think that this is nice to
have visible here.
Syslog is used by default and I am expecting it so it probably won't
hurt being visible.
Removed my weird comment and added refresh_delay to OpenNIC. I am using
p2 instead of ph as per the wiki as apparently they don't consider
balancing queries over multiple services as important as speed, so maybe
I don't have to worry about that either.
Learning that I don't have to specify servers there is a lot more
variety even if I start requiring more things, as Sedric says to
see 33 live servers, I guess dnscrypt servers in general respect
privacy. However I guess I still have to trust on what the servers
say as AFAIK dnscrypt-proxy is only that, a proxy, and won't start
validating dnssec by itself.
