  • Why are you using networkd instead of networkmanager on a desktop?

    What a weird question. Networkd works anywhere systemd works, why whould desktops be any different.

    It’s the same as asking someone “why are you using systemd-boot instead of grub?” Because I like systemd boot better and it’s easier to configure. Same with networkd, configuration is stupid simple, I have installed it on my work machine even.

    As for op: since you can manually ping ip addresses and the issue seems to be time-based, could it be that your machine is somehow not renegotiating a dhcp lease?


  • I had an issue where the desktop would take a fair amount of time to load, and I have a very different issue that I don’t even know how to categorise. There’s a wayland app in which keyboard works but some keyboard related things stop working if I lock my screen.

    The app is a game (Victoria 3). Normally, space pauses / unpauses the game, escape opens the pause menu, etc. If I lock my screen, those things (and more) stop working, but the keyboard as a whole works. E.g. if I go to save the game I can input text in the save name text field. Keyboard and keyboard shortcuts as a whole still work everywhere else.

    The problem goes away if I log out and log back in, but otherwise persists across game session (i.e. closing and reopening the game doesn’t fix it).

    +1. Arch is super easy to install, just open the install guide on the wiki and do what it says.

    It’s also really stable nowadays, I can’t actually remember the last time something broke.

    As a counterpoint, on ubuntu I constantly had weird issues where the system would change something apparently on its own. Like the key repeat resetting every so often (I mean multiple times an hour), weirdness with graphic drivers, and so on.

    That said, I also appreciate debian for server usage. Getting security updates only can be desirable for something that should be little more than an appliance. Doing a dist upgrade scares the shit out of me though, while on arch that’s not even close to a concern.



  • So are you saying that me pushing a pregnant woman down the stairs is the same as doing so to a non pregnant woman?

    Imo, no. Pushing a woman is assault, pushing a pregnant woman is assault and something else (another post suggested something akin to manslaughter, which I think fits if the assault causes a miscarriage)

    the pro-life response is simply that the unborn child doesn’t get a say in the matter.

    Correct. An unborn child doesn’t get a say in whether they are aborted or born. They have no opinions, they have no wants. The unborn child cannot consent to being aborted but they cannot consent to being born either. The only valid opinion and choice is that of the mother, because it’s the mother’s life that is very physically (and eventually also mentally, socially, etc) affected by the pregnancy.

    Which is also why I said that pushing a pregnant woman should have harsher penalties than just assault: it also endangers or destroys something whose state of being only the woman should be in charge of.

    It’s like if I pickpocket your wallet that’s stealing, but if I steal the wallet from your house that’s also breaking and entering.


  • I think it’s possible that the filesystem ran out of inodes, so even though there is space on disk, there is no space in the filesystem metadata to store new files.

    Now, I don’t know off the top of my head how to check this, but I assume the answer is on the internet somewhere (am on phone and can’t help much more than this, sorry)




  • Reread the OP. They say:

    not on GNOME, because you have a panel at the top

    And

    when usign GTK apps on those [non-GNOME] desktops

    So you would not “access the controls above the app”, because having controls above the app is not covered by this scenario.

    The scenario is:

    1. You don’t have a top panel
    2. You have a maximized GTK app

    Which makes the close button be in the corner of the screen, but without actually extending to it.

    On topic: never knew this was a problem, guess I got spoiled by the Qt environment
