Never done anything with 2 mics, so I'll just throw a vague suggestion: there's Helvum to combine the mic inputs and then Easy Effects that can apply a few noise suppression filters that can do world of a difference, maybe the first isn't even necessary, while the second is the core and can be tweaked a lot

Yep, a never ending cycle!

Damn, TikTok has been here for at least 5 years now?? Those old-feeling people were right, I do feel old

This doesn't account for all the comfort food the programmer will have to consume in order to keep themselves sane

Hello! I wanted to make some order in my screenshots, it would be extremely helpful if I could define defaults based on the app that is currently focused when taking the screenshot, if that's at all possible given Wayland's restrictions.
Do you know if there's a way, I haven't found any setting like that in Spectacle, but maybe there's some kind of workaround?

Edit: to add to @[email protected]'s solution, a few tweaks to make it a little easier to handle:

  1. If you want the actual screenshots to be placed elsewhere, you can create a symbolic link to that path with the name of the directory that is generated when you save the screenshot, e.g. I use it for a game, I tried to save a screenshot of it and it created a directory named "Genshin Impact", so I replaced that with a symlink to where I want it to be ("Pictures/Games/Genshin Impact/Screenshots")
  2. Since the title is only added when you take an "Active Window" screenshot, you can trigger it with Meta+Print Screen and as a bonus the screenshot is automatically saved with this shortcut, without needing to change other settings

I have a Pixel 8a, which is certified qi1, and 2 devices that can wirelessly charge it, a baseus battery pack and an ESR phone holder, they're both certified qi2 (which is backwards compatible with qi1), yet when I charge with them I can at most reach ~2.2W charging instead of the 7.5W advertised maximum for my Pixel 8a.
I don't understand why that is and if I can even theoretically reach the maximum supported charging power.
If so, how would I test my devices to figure out what their real thresholds are or if there are incompatibilities somewhere?

 

If an app that I have is marked for Automatic Removal due to deprecation I can't keep the app and update the rest, because if I try to click Cancel the whole update process stops, if I click Proceed the app will be uninstalled and then the rest gets updated.
Why does it work like this, am I just not supposed to keep deprecated apps for security concerns? I hope it's not intended, because this just hampers the user unendingly.
This time it's Metadata cleaner that is going, but it could be any app that someone relies on, they'd be forced to go to the command line to update the rest while keeping that one app?

Hi, I've got myself stuck on an issue, I've started a big rebase (I know that was already a bad idea to begin with, but, just in case, the information I'm looking for could always come in handy in other occasions), I reordered a few commits and squashed some, while in the process I resolved a few conflicts, then after I resolved one of them and got to the next conflict I realised that I shouldn't have put a certain commit there, is there a way to rewind the process to the previous step while staying in the rebase? That way I could move the commit to where it should be and continue.
I know you can edit the todo (git --edit-todo), but that only works for the next commits, I also can't just reset back by the number of commits I want, e.g. git reset --hard HEAD~4, because for the rebase those commits remain as done and doing git rebase --continue only brings me to where I am already, the next conflict to resolve.
So I wonder, is there a way to move out commits of the done list back into todo? Also for example if I trashed an unmerged file completely while messing around, so I can get it back to its initial state, this would be extremely useful

The Medito app is a (unsurprisingly) meditation/mindfulness app. Sort of the free software alternative to Headspace.
I haven't used it in a long time and was curious to see how it was doing, but I saw this:

  • it's only available on IzzyOnDroid now, I believe it used to be on F-droid at some point (edit: it wasn't)
  • the available release is 2 years old

So I thought, maybe the app was sadly just archived, but no, it's actually still under development, it's just that no releases have been published on GitHub for 2 years (2.0.48 clearly titled "Deprecated"), instead the Play Store releases keep being pushed out as recently as 3 February 2025 (3.2.0).
Oh and the issues tab has been disabled, which seems very shady to me.
So I wonder what the heck went down with this excellent app, it may still be considered "free software", also featuring the best licence (AGPL), but it looks like it has become unfriendly towards the community, I wonder why

I'm on a Fedora Kinoite system that is entirely on one LUKS encrypted drive, I recently added a second drive to have more space and I'm wondering how I should make use of it.
For now I formatted it completely with a new btrfs partition encrypted with LUKS and to actually add I thought I could:

  1. automount it to some location, not sure where I should mount it though, I've seen many questions online that say to avoid /mnt for permanent drives and also /media (there are contrasting opinions on that, though), so I thought I could maybe sidestep this question by going with the second option which is the following
  2. extending the already existing btrfs /sysroot to span across the 2 partitions on the separate drives, but I didn't find good information on this process when LUKS is involved. It seems like that kind of operation is heavily discouraged due to risking data loss

So I wonder, what is the best approach and the one that will give me fewer headaches? If it is the second, how do I do it?

Edit: going with the first option I had an issue where the drive wouldn't be mounted automatically at boot, I then read through my /etc/crypttab more carefully and saw that the UUID was wrong, I had used the partition UUID (PARTUUID as seen with the blkid command) instead of the actual device UUID, after correcting that it works and mounts correctly. Just a small oversight, the hardest to notice sometimes.

Plasma's restore session functionality has started working for me relatively recently, but there's one thing that bugs me: all my windows are just dumped together into the same activity and workspace I'm in at login, so it becomes a big mess.
Is there a setting somewhere that tells it to respect the last position of the windows?

 

I wanted to install a few PWAs in my private space but the option for installation or shortcut creation isn't there on the same websites where it appears in the normal installation of the browser app.
Is this a limitation strictly related to the private space?

 

I've enabled auto download and installation of updates in the settings, but somehow they are never downloaded and installed in the background, nor when I do "install all", they all prompt me for confirmation.
Is there some setting to change to make it work?

 
 

As far as I got, Blender's features for masks are very good, but then they fall short when you want to tweak the animation curve for animated masks because, well, there are no curves... it's all linear, they just won't appear in the graph editor.
So I was wondering if there is some other application that does that, be it specialised or not, maybe specialised for compositing would be a plus actually, considering all the video editing features that are left in the dust by Blender, because I assume the big players don't care for them and rather fund for the development of all the 3D capabilities, which I care about very little for what I usually do, so I'm not seeing any improvements on that side anytime soon

 

I've set up a phone with Rethink DNS as a permanent VPN, so nothing can come through, I tried putting KDE Connect in the Bypass Universal list, but it still fails to discover devices on the network and in turn it can't be discovered by others itself.
I tried without VPN active and it all works, of course. Is it possible for the 2 to coexist? If so, what settings should I change?
