Or a misguided solution to prevent drug use in public stalls?
I would get the 7, or even a 6– what I have. It will get updates for a while and even when the updates stop it should continue to work after that.
One of most popular pages on my blog is about how to replace the battery on Fenix 5.

These watches are made to be repaired. Even after the battery wears out, you can get a replacement for $20 or so and keep it going.

You could add a feature request in the Fuzzel bug tracker. A screenshot of how it is used in Fuzzel could be helpful there.
WordPerfect continued to thrive in the legal industry for years to come due to its “reveal codes” feature and the way it counted words.
Here’s a post about that from 2008.

There is a newish “placeholder text” option. It could be displayed there and disappear when typing starts.
Yes. The message could be added to the prompt but it wouldn’t look the best.
I tried a USB KVM switcher. I only recall there were serious issues and it didn’t last long.
Now I use a high quality USB dock and physically unplug/re-replug a work and personal laptop. That’s been a simple and reliable solution.
For my home server, I ssh into it.
I remember that this existed, but I don’t remember why.
Corel was known for a drawing program and later for WordPerfect. They were never well known for their involvement with Linux.
Correct. Not just hype but to make it “Like Windows, but free”.
Even then it could be themed to a degree and some distros tried to look more like Windows than others.
I discovered this more than a year ago, but Fuzzel.
I just wrote about the new release here:

Ballots are already getting printed and early voting will start soon.
fzf has some unique features of its own, like multi-select. Maybe one day Fuzzel will add that.
That’s right! We are just waiting for someone to focus a pinentry/fuzzel script now. All the necessary features are there it seems.
I’ve tested them all and they all launch fairly immediately.
I discuss some of the other feature differences here:

I think for most people, Fuzzel will be the best choice, but compeitors offer unique features like Rofi-compatibility, HTML formatting support or the most important one: being written in Rust.
Fuzzel is a Wayland-native app launcher and fuzzy finder for Linux, inspired by Rofi and dmenu. The five-year-old Fuzzel project recently had a feature-packed 1.11 release. Here's a visual rundown of what's new. Instant filtering of huge lists 0:00 /0:08 1× ...
The support for running apps in the Linux container feels fairly normal. I had a family member using LibreOffice and other apps that way for years and it worked fine. We bought a more powerful Chromebook and performance was fine. One family member is using ChromeOS on the Framework laptop. Performance there is great.
FydeOS is a de-Googled ChromeOS based in China.

Unattended upgrades is for updates in the Linux container. Sometimes it’s used primarily for security updates. The whole thing is so locked down and containerized, I don’t think security updates in the container are as important.
It’s true that Chrome always installed, but you can put whatever icons in your launcher.
I’m not sure about changing the default browser.
Regarding ChromeOS being corporate, it is nearly all open source. You have to login with a Google Account, but once in, you don’t have to use any Google products.
You can use Firefox, Fastmail, whatever you like.
Rofi is a popular window switcher, application launcher and dmenu replacement for Linux. dmenu was a tiny text-only utility to display a list of binaries or lines of text and select one. The dmenu design follows the Unix philosophy to "do one thing well". Simple! Rofi took the idea and
My split, ergonomic Corne keyboard is great. I love pairing with a trackball in-between the halves: But what if you took the two halves of this split keyboard, jammed them together with a built-in trackball and threw in some extra features? That's the cocot46plus. I prefer the ergonomics of a
Fuzzel is a rofi alternative for Wayland. It's a versatile picker and launcher utility for desktop Linux. The last time I gave an update on Fuzzel was when 1.8 released which compared it to some altenatives. Let's look at some recent feature additions since then. New --dmenu0 option Perhaps
If you have been using an ergonomic mechanical keyboard for more than year, let us know which keyboard it is, and whether you plan to keep to keep using it for at least another year or if there's another keyboard you are considering trying instead.
I have a Logitech C920 and am looking to upgrade. Something suitable for streaming.
Some annoyances with the Logitech: sometimes autofocus fails and poor reproduction of blacks. Ex: Lack of detail when a black cat is on screen.
I already have a nice mic-- the webcam doesn't need one.

Helix is fantastic, there’s almost no need to sing it’s praises these days. However, with all new tools, there are growing pains. It’s…
To open a file relative to the current one in Helix, you can to the do the following with 24.3:
:o <C-r>%<C-w>
Here, the Control-R allows you to select a register and the special register "%" contains the current file path and inserts into the command line, while the final Control-w chops off the last part of the file name leaving with you current directory.
This is like :o %:h

I'm looking for a simple sendmail replacement to receive local mail, such as from cron and service failures and forward it to on to a real SMTP server.
I have used msmtpd
successfully but thought I'd ask if folks have other solutions they like.
And then I moved colon and semicolon to layers and re-assigned that outer pinky key to my rarely used AltGr key.
One recent winter, Mark Stosberg set out on a 50-mile run. He wasn’t racing in or training for an event, so at some point, he had to answer the question, Why keep going? To test his physical and mental limits? To satisfy a primal instinct? Or was it therapeutic in some way?
A lean, mean, split typing machine. The Voyager is everything you’d want in a serious ergonomic keyboard, and nothing more. The essentials, refined.
I would like the end result to include remote and encrypted backups.
I’m considering maybe a Synology NAS with an APFS partition for Time Machine and a BTRFS partition for Linux backups.
The Linux laptops might backup to the NAS with Restic.
The Synology NAS might then backup to BackBlaze or another cloud using Synology’s Hyper Backup or also Restic.
Have I missed a better plan?
Estimated reading time: 24 minutes It was dawn in mid-February when I stepped outside to check the weather. Snow was on the ground, but the roads were clear. The temperature was just above 40 degrees and expected to rise slightly throughout the day. Perfect for the 50-mile run I was
