nostr:npub10c6y3qt7d4d87hukhuj9appy50ft7ak0j3fhjrvd0ux7maejdujs8zx2jy Lesson learned. I was too busy typing and not paying attention.


Did I say how much I love the #VoidLinux community ? ❤


Hold on I think I've found out what has gone wrong. I'm away to reboot to test my theory and then I'll report what this dozy so and so found.


Interesting as linux6.5.5_2 boots just fine on my none FDE test void laptop.
So it seems like it has an issue with my full disk encryption whereas previous kernels don't ????


Hmm had my first big issue on #VoidLinux. My laptop wouldn't boot and stopped after unlocking the FDE once it announced it was using linux6.5.5_2. Recovery just ends in a kernel panic so I booted the previous version and all is good.
Submitted a bug report ASAP as reinstalling the kernel still yeilds the same result I never get the loading init.

FYI #VoidLinux now has the latest #Qtile stable release 0.23.0 available.
https://voidlinux.org/packages/?arch=x86_64&q=qtile


How have I only just found out about this #TUI  beauty !?

With features like:

asynchronous X11/Wayland clipboard synchronization. What that means is that you can copy stuff in the background and your CB clipboard will pick it all up automatically.

Just my luck ! The front of the house is nicely painted and the sun comes out after a few days of rain. Boom ! Now the house is covered in millions of midges stuck by their feet. Good thing they're biodegradable. :eyeroll:


nostr:npub1p3dfcez0yaxz7220la9rk6cxpg042ylpvsg4hxavder2k0sytw4q9htwxt I've had no issues with them so far and domain setup was a breeze.


Our timber home freshly painted on the front only so far. But it's progress and getting the exterior ready for the winter. The midges are out in force though. Flipping things landing on the freshly painted wood stain. 🙄

Right round two of painting the house. Hopefully today I'll have the front completed. #Sunday


nostr:npub1cggwd2qltel960zmd6emshclhdfk2na2k2dcmlwkfhgflfn6at4qy30n34 it's stopped now but it was all the time earlier.


And just like that search is working again on Fosstodon.


nostr:npub1cggwd2qltel960zmd6emshclhdfk2na2k2dcmlwkfhgflfn6at4qy30n34 There seems to be an issue with search here.


Am I the only person on fosstodon noticing that the search box doesn't work. I keep getting 500 no matter what i search ???


nostr:npub18ntm08zw2elg9rjvqaaamn2xve83jgep0j68dr2rpmjavya0xaxqwd3439 Well here's the thing I'm finding spiders whilst I'm up the ladder which really isn't good for my health. 🙄


Being a bit quiet today as I'm spending it mostly up a ladder against our two storey timber house. Yep you guessed it I'm armed with a paint brush giving the timber it's five yearly treatment. Only this time I'm using a gloss based wood stain.
I'll be needing a glass of red tonight that's for sure.

Right normal service has resumed thanks to my wife. 🙃


Crisis averted AKA House fire.
Julie is home and has dispatched of the venomous eight legged beastie with large fangs. I know I'm such a drama queen. She's still laughing now.


nostr:npub1avz276l0vz0xs3amfwg888k7muaelal9auuj9tdk79drz67zm89q7t8av6 I'll have to be busting for a pee though.


nostr:npub1avz276l0vz0xs3amfwg888k7muaelal9auuj9tdk79drz67zm89q7t8av6 I couldn't get that close to it as my irrational fear won't let me.


You're going to laugh, But I'm currently trapped in my study with nothing but my PC and a glass of red as I discovered a MASSIVE spider on the door frame as I entered. I quickly slammed the door. My only problem now is that my wife is out at work for the next 30mins - 1 hour. Yes I'm terrified on any spider. 😢
I'm such a muppet LOL

Right job done. That's me paid for the use of my #SourceHut account. Kind of gives me a warm fuzzy feeling knowing I'm supporting a fantastic service like this.


Right so my first task tomorrow after work is to setup an annual payment plan for the fantastic services provided to me from #SourceHut .
They not only host my git repo but my website too so it's only fair that I pay.
#OpenSource


nostr:npub1skgrhuekacdjv7zvpjq6dmlty4mw5ted3j8vwvupuejgmjswq79qvl906q Hey thanks very much. I'll go read that link right now. 😉


nostr:npub13w6fhssk27ffmh00g8lfr9p8adxcrvtf8lgu6z2j6je7ugmtqpws4l479m Thank you Andrew 😉


nostr:npub1v427f8kk7l0kegpqvfyp32jtszs06x8cnvmdd3h4whxx0ml6c79sfvy7uh Thank you Blain 😉


Does anyone here use #sourcehut and pay a yearly fee ? I've recently migrated everything over and I'm wanting to setup a yearly payment but just want reassuring that it does go to towards supporting the service and it's devs. I know sounds a daft question but just wanting to see what other uses views are. Do you use this service and do you pay ?


nostr:npub1qtzm909v4fhr08zveua9d2zj66s60l25afgz480axgfmdgcsehwqw24cf3 Wait there's a difference !? 🤪🤣🤣


nostr:npub1skgrhuekacdjv7zvpjq6dmlty4mw5ted3j8vwvupuejgmjswq79qvl906q Glad to have helped in some small way. Sorry to have caused so much confusion though. Where ever I go chaos follows. 🤣


nostr:npub1skgrhuekacdjv7zvpjq6dmlty4mw5ted3j8vwvupuejgmjswq79qvl906q Thank you but I've gotten it to work a better way.

1. Just put your own home page in the URL on Sourcehut.
2. In your bio section add:

 [Mastodon](https://fosstodon.org/@JustineSmithies)

Obviously change the username.

In the Fosstodon profile just add your git repo url like:

https://git.sr.ht/~justinesmithies/

nostr:npub1frhnas8gz8v0rdwlhjsr607ps9l6kvlg39rl0za8zx9frgv8awxq32renj It's all sorted now thanks. Turns out it was a Void Linux QT6 issue.

If I'm going retro it would have to be either Z80 or 6502 based. I once had the likes of a ZX80, spectrums all types a CPC 6128 and a trusty Apple II Europlus with 80 col card. Wish I'd still got them. 🙃

Look in my Qtile Wayland key bind config for examples.

Just bought a 3 section 8.5M ladder so I guess I'll be painting the exterior of our house shortly. 🙃

I got so excited by this litte fix on #VoidLinux qt6-webengine as gifs and videos in toots are now working when viewing on #mastodon and other sites. 🤣


We went for a morning walk down to the harbour in our village and it's already 25°c here. I soon cooled us down down by slipping into the village shop for a couple of ice lollies for the walk back home. 🌞 #Scotland #CrudenBay

Just looked at the price of an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X for research purposes obviously and have suddenly come over all faint. Fetch me a chair quickly please. 👀
Not even I could come up with a good enough explanation for purchasing that to my Wife.
I like living too much so a lesser model it'll be then. 😂
