Mullvad DNS profiles
1: how many of you have used it before and do you like it over (non-foss) NextDNS?
2: Which one should I use if I want to block ads on all apps (iOS), DoT or DoH?
https://github.com/mullvad/encrypted-dns-profilesOpen linkView original on lemm.eeshould I keep using an outdated electron journal app?
The last update was in 2020. Electron version is 8.0.
I have been using it since then on linux.. however, I am not too sure if I should keep using it?
If I am moving to another app, I am thinking of rednotebook, unless there is something better.
Quick question: how can I re-enable zram after running swapoff (without restarting)?
I found these instructions but I wasn't sure if they would mess with the default setup. I'm running pop 22.04. Thanks in advance.

Alpha 3 Soon? Are we still looking to get 24.04 by end of year?
Just curious. No rush.
Trying out COSMIC on virtual machine
Long story short, it is pretty solid as an alpha release! I would have installed it on bare metal, if I have another computer.
If you are installing on 22.04, this post still valid, https://lemm.ee/post/25474700
if you are installing the official 24.04 Alpha iso, simply select to use QXL graphic on vm setup. no other changes needed in the OS level.
@mmstick, any plan to support virtio graphic?
It had been a peaceful week with updates
there was no updates in last week. I'm sure the team is working hard on the cosmic de and other refinements.
👍
Try COSMIC DE apps on virtual machine
-
install virt-manager
-
create a vm pop-os
-
start the vm
-
sudo apt install cosmic-session -
sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf -
... set ..
WaylandEnable=true -
reboot
-
at the log in screen, there is a small gear wheel on the bottom right side, choose “Pop on Wayland" (edit: if you want COSMIC DE to work too, see update below) (edit2: if you can't see the gear wheel, see update2 below)
.
update:
there are some settings on the virt-manager to make COSMIC DE works.
if you don't need to run COSMIC DE, can ignore the following
- Display Spice : Type = Spice server, Listen type = none, uncheck password / opengl
- Video : use QXL (instead of default Virtio)
new step 8. at the log in screen, there is a small gear wheel on the bottom right side, choose “COSMIC"
.
update2:
-
sudo nano /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules -
Goto the line that reads
LABEL="gdm_prefer_xorg" -
.. commend out the next line ..
#RUN+="/usr/libexec/gdm-runtime-config set daemon PreferredDisplayServer xorg" -
Goto the the line that reads
LABEL="gdm_disable_wayland" -
.. commend out the next line ..
#RUN+="/usr/libexec/gdm-runtime-config set daemon WaylandEnable false" -
sudo systemctl restart gdm.service
Are we going to have kernel 6.8 before 24.04?
The base Ubuntu 24.04 LTS shipping with Linux kernel 6.8 is anticipated for release on April 25th, 2024.
Graphical corruption
Sometimes when resuming from sleep, or when playing a fullscreen video, my screen will fill with white video blocks.
rebooting will fix the problem (until it appears again).
$ uname -r
6.6.6-76060606-generic
Similar to this: https://i.bke.ro/selif/artifacts.mp4 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xt2e9Lt2gg
and issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/2735
One solution is to add amdgpu.sg_display=0
sudo kernelstub -a "amdgpu.sg_display=0"
