  • Is it possible for you to try the appimage, or the binary built for you OS, like installing the rpm if using fedora?

    If this happens there too, maybe there is some issue with your KDE. If it does not, check if the flatpak version has some addon which might be the reason.

    In either case, you should file a bug report.

    You can also try installing the plasma integration addon which can connect the browser and the KDE system, and see if this problem goes away.









  • In your DNS settings, from your domain provider, add all the A and AAAA records for the sub domains you want to use. So, when someone hits the port 443 using one of those domains, your Nginx Proxy Manager will decide which service to show to the client based on the domain.

    how do I tell the machine to send piefed traffic to this subdomain

    Configure your Nginx Proxy Manager. It should be using port 80 for HTTP, port 443 for HTTPS and another port for its WebUI (8081 is default, iirc).

    So, if I type piefed.yourdomain.com in my address bar, the DNS tells my browser your IP, my browser hits your VPS on port 443, then Nginx Proxy Manager automatically sees that the user is requesting piefed, and will show me piefed.

    For the SSL certificates, you can either generate a new certificate for every subdomain, or use a wild card certificate which can work on all subdomains.


















  • Most are mouse first programs. Developers know that a majority do not own a pen tablet or something similar. There’s a reason why brushes in programs have smoothing, so that you can get nice curves even with a mouse.

    Moreover, I would call GIMP’s experience with pen tablet relatively worse than using a mouse.

    The reason why pen tablets are better in most cases is that you can use real drawing skills within those programs, like pressure and tilt, which cannot be achieved by a mouse.





  • I looks promising, but I would not recommend it to anyone.

    The problem with windows is that moat privacy options would get reverted with every new update, and these scripts would need constant updates.

    It is not doing much for Linux, as most telemetry is opt-in, rarher than being opt-out. And instead of configuring programs people can just use alternates like VScodium instead of VScode, etc. Plus, for other things Linux users already know how to do those things.

    For macOS, it looks fine, as there isn’t much already that you can do. Most of the things these scripts provide can be done with a GUI, and I would rather trust my own eyes with GUI options rather than some outdated online script from GitHub.

    When I looked at their GitHub, it is almost a year old. Updates on any OS would have broken most of these.

    For windows a good option is Chtis Titus’s winutil.

    There’s a program called Open Snitch, which acts like a firewall, and you can manage each and every connection made to an IP or domain by every app on the OS. This can help block telemetry, which windows and macos would not let you disable. But I would recommend this to power users only.
