This thread adds some context but not easy to draw any conclusions yet:

Update on the project

They link to Chandler (monica vNext) which is an now an archived repo however I think dev work has moved to main branch in Monica repo? So possibly misunderstanding…

There’s an unofficial desktop version of Newpipe now it seems:

https://flathub.org/en/apps/net.newpipe.NewPipe

I’ve not tried desktop but I do use it on Android. Taps to the left\right advance video in multiples of 10s. Dragging vertically on left/right adjusts volume and brightness. It’s a pretty decent touch interface I’d say.

Stow cannot do this as far as I know. Chezmoi can though you’ll need to fiddle with templates and ignores to achieve it:

However as others have said a dotfile manager may not be appropriate for all apps. It assumes a certain kind of behaviour of the app - known config locations, text files etc.

I think your suggestion to backup/clone/restore your ideal Firefox config onto new machines is probably most practical if you do want to use a dotfile manager with it. That way you ensure the dir name is the same across all machines. Then you can use stow to manage parts of the profile going forward.

I would consider FF’s own sync solution also though - I believe you can self-host it too.

This might be obvious but it could be caching? Use a tool like dig to check if it’s really updated. Not had a problem with duckdns, works good.

Hedy is an open source programming language that is broken into levels for easy learning. As you progress the language gains more capabilities, so they are never overwhelmed with too much

In contrast to block based languages like scratch its goal is to leave students ready to switch to Python by the end.

Each level has small tasks to complete so you can tackle it piece by piece and get a sense of progression.

That would be Snap!

It’s become somewhat of a trend over the last several months for new projects to describe themselves as ‘modern’. Not only is this not a helpful descriptor (What is ‘modern’? Is the design modern? The codebase?), but a good portion of the time it’s simply not true.

I keep seeing ‘blazing/blazingly fast’ everywhere too, with a rocket or such emoji

Self-hosting anything that is deemed “content” openly on the web in 2025 is a battle of attrition between you and forces who are able to buy tens of thousands of proxies to ruin your service for data they can resell.

This is depressing. Profoundly depressing.

Sigh

This dir structure for git projects is the best one I think, especially if managing multiple identities/git configurations. Git has a ‘includeif’ to change your setup depending on which dir you are currently in:

copyq has some guidance for wayland issues:

https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/issues/3313#issuecomment-3538526927

…but some things such as global shortcuts may depend on your choice of compositor, GNOME has no support at all for example.

It seems some people transition easily to wayland and some do not, it really depends on your setup unfortunately. Maybe it’ll get easier over time.

This is new:

https://github.com/dkorecko/PatchPanda

Self-hostable Docker Compose stack update manager.

And

when you choose to update, PatchPanda edits compose/.env files and runs docker compose pull and docker compose up -d for the target stack. You can also view live log.

Discovered in the latest Self Host Weekly:

I have not tried it myself tho.

The link seems to say Threads support is only available as an add-on and therefore not simple to use with containerised HASS. This would be true for any Threads antenna though.

How frustrating about the hangs, looks like this has been a problem for years in various desktops and file managers and you’ve already found the best mitigation (keeping the mounts out of home)

Maybe look into autofs which will mount only when you choose to access the drives and then unmount on idle. Could be simpler then trying to react to network status.

Done this for my partner - usb goes in to boot to Linux, take it out to boot back to pre-existing Windows, really simple. Fedora will install to usb no problem. Windows can’t screw up this way either, bit safer then using same drive. Speed has not been a problem.
