I'll never understand this mindset of tourists
Today (and not only today) I saw a bunch of tourists from other countries. You'd say "big deal". But here comes the twist: ALL they did was to walk around the city and take pictures ONLY of churches. 🤦♂️ I don't see the point of travelling a thousand miles (or more) to another country and all you do there is taking pictures of only churches and skip everything else there is to see. To me this looks like the same absurd if I go to another country and start taking pictures of their sewers. 🤦♂️ 🤣
American muscle community for muscle fans on Lemmy
I love American muscle cars (both classic and modern V8’s - gasoline and diesel, even coal runners) but I couldn’t find a community about these beautiful machines, so I decided to create one: https://lemmy.ml/c/american_muscle For all American V8 fans! :)
I can't see comments under my post on reddit. Does anyone know why?
On the reddit I posted something yesterday and now there are two comments under it but for some reason I can't see them. I tried with a clean profile of two browsers (Waterfox & Firefox), disabled the adblocker to see whether they'll appear (they didn't), deleted cookies for reddit and relogged anew but still no comments. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Am I missing something, a setting maybe? I sent a message to the moderators of the subreddit but whether they'll answer at all - IDK.
Downloads Sidebar Reborn
4 years ago was the last update of this extension which was then abandoned by its (now unknown) author and eventually removed from AMO. I used it ever since when recently it started glitching a bit, so I decided to revive it with a small improvement upon the original: you can close it the same way it opens - with a click on its icon in the toolbar. The extension has finally been approved by AMO's team and it's accessible to be downloaded and installed. Screenshots and a video demo were added in the description on AMO.

Do you want the legacy-like statusbar? I know how. [fix for linux glitch]
Do you remember the old days of Firefox when the statusbar used to an actual bar with stuff on it? Well, now you can have that.
At first I tried using the actual status bar - the one whose availability you can enable in settings and then choose whether it will show links or not. With some CSS for customizing the status bar, that would eventually leave you with a bar with two thick white lines that look like border and that won't go away no matter what you do. Again - that's a linux only problem! These lines are not present in the Windows version of Waterfox.
So, I took some time to play with that, I even asked an AI for help but no good - the desired status bar wouldn't appear as I wanted it. So I took another approach: I brought up the bookmarks bar. Since I'm not using it anyway, I decided to turn it into a status bar:
- Bring up the bookmarks bar.
- Go to settings and choose position for it - bottom.
- Remove any bookmarks from it, if there are any.
- Right click on it --> Customize toolbar --> Remove any elements from the bookmarks bar. Also remove the message "add bookmarks here". If you want, you can add the Zoom function (-|100%|+) and it automatically go to the right most part of the bookmarks bar, making it look even closer to the classic status bar. You can add other things to it, if you want - just not bookmarks, otherwise it will become a mess.
- Open your profile dir which is usually located in ~/.waterfox/Profiles/randomname.default-release-1. Note that I can't tell you where EXACTLY this last directory is because I changed the location of mine long ago - so long ago that I don't even remember what its original location and name were. Anyway, once you find, enter the directory chrome (if you don't have it - create it) and then open/create a new file named userChrome.css. This file is responsible for the appearance of the browser. So, open/create it and paste this in it:
`#statuspanel { position: fixed !important; left: 0 !important; bottom: 0 !important; z-index: 9999 !important; }
#statuspanel-label { margin-left: 10 !important; border: none !important; padding: 10 !important; font-family: "Open Sans" !important; font-size: 18px !important; font-weight: bold !important; color: #E2B582 !important; }`
and your new status bar (after you restart the browser) will look like on the screenshot above. Ofcourse, you can change the font color, size or family to any values you want. These are my colors and font size and also just for the example on how to make this work.
The Waterfox version I did this with is G6 - 6.5.11.
The extension "Open With" is working with Waterfox again
The extension "Open With" wasn't working with Waterfox 6.5.10 but I managed to make it work with this version (and hopefully with all future versions). I've uploaded the fix + a short but detailed enough description on github.
https://github.com/rado84-github/openwith-waterfox-linux/Open linkView original on lemmy.ml[Cinnamon] My own theme
The calendar looks the same way as the menu - with 40% transparency. I've been thinking of transforming the menu and the calendar to a solid green background color (instead of transparency) but never had the time to do it. The original theme was Mint-Y-[something] about 8 years ago but nowadays it's... something else.
Adding a wallpaper (I think?) to an already created community?
I just created a community but left it without a wallpaper (or whatever it's called here). A little later I found out what the wallpaper should be and now I wanna add one but I can't see any buttons about editing the community. So: how can I add a wallpaper image to an already existing community?
As of today it's against the double standards to say "thank you" on Fascistbook!
Earlier today I commented another's post and thanked them for their understanding in my native language. The sentence was literally "Thank you for your understanding!" and nothing else. Half an hour later I received a warning that my post has been removed because the post was against their double standards. So I left Fascistbook. I haven't deleted my account, I just won't visit it anymore. If you're still in that anti-social toilet, avoid thanking anyone for anything, otherwise you might find yourself in a read-only mode for a few days. I could post a screenshot of both my comment and the warning but both are in Bulgarian language and I doubt you'd understand anything from the screenshot.
Octopi - how to make it display only packages waiting for update?
Hi. I wanna make octopi behave as close as possible to what pamac was, meaning that I want it to display only the packages with available updates. Atm it displays all installed packages and on top of that it ignores the pacman.conf feature "ignorepkg" and displays waiting updates for packages that I've added to ignorepkg.
So, what I need help with is:
- How to make octopi display only packages waiting for updates?
- The above but WITHOUT displaying new versions for packages that are in the ignorepkg list.
Limit the download speed from within the OS?
Hi, guys. I'm wondering if there's any way to limit the download speed from within Arch? I have made settings for that in the router CP but they don't seem to work bc Arch is completely ignoring them and keeps downloading with the full bandwidth it can get.
The thing is that our IPTV is from another provider which is why I need to leave some bandwidth for the TV. When I'm downloading something directly (meaning from FTP or TCP), even if it's just for a fraction of the second, the TV dies instantly. That's why I need to limit the download speed somehow - preferably from within Arch.
