  • I’ve been down this rabbit hole and here’s the haul from Wonderland:

    Conventional:

    • Heliboard - Has glide typing, but the available library is unstable and old. The most polished.

    • Florisboard - Currently under heavy development, but what’s there is more than usable and very well done.

    • Unexpected Keyboard - I actually love this one, but as a Fold user I need some auto correct. Uses swipe motions on each key for symbols and punctuation.

    Unconventional:

    • Thumbkey - A 3x3 grid using taps and swipes to type. I flip flop between this and Heliboard atm. Has circular motions to input caps or numbers. MASSIVE amount of layouts, including language, programmer, writer and more. Easy layout switch key on the fly.

    • Flickboard - Same setup as Thumbkey. This would be my go to ever since they added a landscape layout that smart switches on inner Fold screen, but there’s no separate key height for it, so you have to deal with non-uniform on one screen which isn’t easy to type on. Also has circular motion for caps. No numeric, but there’s the option of having a small number column.

    • 8vim - The only one of it’s kind since 8pen died. I’m learning this one and it’s great, but wonky on inner Fold screen. Its hard to explain, but you use circular motions around on X wheel to input whole words at a time letter by letter. Start center, drag out into a quadrant, rotate to get your letter, go back to center, without lifting go to your next quadrant for the next letter. When you’re done and back on center, let go to insert space, or you can move out into a quadrant then lift to end without a space. Takes a lot of getting used to.


  • I’ve always had a pretty shitty stomach (haha), but it really drove home just a couple weeks back. I’m not bad at getting fiber, but I don’t go out of my way to chase it. I recently started Kratom at nighttimes for anxiety and RLS, and have been enjoying it. Kratom solidifies bowel matter and causes constipation.

    I took it for a few months (8 grams a day; 4 in the morning 4 in the evening) and I didn’t really bother to make sure I had fiber, water, and maybe a small bit of laxative with my dosage. As of a couple weeks ago, I no longer have an appendix.

    So. Fiber good. Much fiber. I eat shredded wheat every morning now and try to take in some leafy greens with my suppers/lunches as well as trying to limit my overall dairy intake. There’s also diverticulitis on my dad’s side and diabetes on my mom’s. I’m 35. It’s time to be extremely careful with my diet and now I only take sugar in the mornings with my coffee/tea and it’s half of what I used to put in it.

    Stay healthy out there, folks.


  • I was just trying to get this working as well. I connected to my TV using KDE and audio came through, but I didn’t find any sort of screen mirroring. I’m not sure how up to date the info is, but I did read that KDE Connect comes with Miracast built in, so if you have access to that it should be an option.

    Unfortunately, my TV is an old 2018 Samsung 4k, so I have no access to Miracast to check, so I didn’t dive far enough into it to know for sure. My solution is probably just going to be setting up a Raspberry Pi media build to the TV.


  • Tales is really good if you like classic roguelike-hacklikes. It’s crazy deep and has a huge learning curve, though, but there’s tons of lore, classes, races, abilities, status effects; its pretty overwhelming at first.

    My recommendation would be to play something simple like a Dwarf Bulwark/Warrior and start on exploration mode or adventure mode. Exploration is infinite lives and adventure is multiple lives with a set amount you can gain throughout the campaign, though I think those modes are Steam only (the game is free on the main site).





  • Hmmm… so reading up, Timeshift doesn’t automatically delete manual backups. Have you tried removing your old manual backups and trying again? This is just a hunch, but I feel as though Timeshift is looking through all of your old backups after you manually create a new one in order to apply appropriate tags. I think that’s why it’s telling you that the maximum weekly backups have been exceeded; because its checking every one of them.

    Honestly, I’m just getting back into the Linux game after a couple years so I’m probably off, but it couldn’t hurt to delete a majority of your old, unneeded backups and check.



  • I tried a fair few browsers for android. Iceraven, Fulguris, Fennec, and Mull. I settled on Fulguris, because it was no frills with custom adblock lists and a good built in darkmode.

    However, Fulguris became a headache because any app that required a browser portal login wouldn’t recognize it.

    So I moved to Mull. Then Mull dropped the project. Mull, Iceraven, and Fennec are basically the same idea as Firefox derivatives.

    I use a free, massive coverage, open source icon pack called Delta and between Iceraven and Fennec I liked the Fennec icon more.
