For your viewing pleasure, my first attempt at Crème brûlée :ablobblewobble:

It was pretty easy to make and tasted good.

Dear Hivemind, any distro suggestions for light #linuxaudio purposes?

Hardware: Thinkpad W530 + Scarlett 2i2 Software: Transcribe, Renoise and possibly Reaper

For a change I'd like to have something low maintenance that I can just power on and play bass 😎

Hello, smart people!

With Xorg I can do "xset r rate 250 30". How do I achieve this with #Wayland ?

My love letter to #Ion3 / #notionwm

In the early 2000's I settled on a great window manager called Ion3, written by Tuomo Valkonen. It was tiling, tabbed, and static. And like most good things, it also came from Finland :blob_thinking_smirk:

Static: you can easily set up rigid set of frames where you can throw your applications. Or even more importantly, make your window manager* do it for you. Being rigid is good, since the application window is always the same size if you want it. Out of the box the other tiling window managers always take all the available space, which isn't always the best possible solution.

Tabbed: a frame can hold multiple applications at the time, but show only one of them. The rest show as tabs like the tabs in your browser. I remember window swallowing being a big invention a few years ago, while Ion3 had had it for 20+ years.

Tiling: there is an excellent addition to regular tiling, which greatly enhances usability on say 1920x1080 screens, which is just a bit too narrow to have a browser and an editor side by side. It's called a float split. You can tell the window manager how much you want the frames to overlap. That way you can keep a browser at a comfortable width on one frame, and an editor at a comfortable width on another frame. And because the frames stay static in size, the browser doesn't resize and you'll be kept in the same spot on the page. Very nice feature on a long page.

Times were good, but sadly around 2009 Tuomo moved on to other things. The project continued as Notion (not to be confused with that other Notion).

The project is old and a bit creaky in places (the rest of the software world has moved on), and the configuration is somewhat overly complexly done. But if you get past that, it'll reward you with a distraction free and predictable environment. To this day, I haven't found a better one :pixelheart:

#TilingWindowManager

ps. #dwm people. Are there patches that I could use to replicate the ion3 functionality?

EDIT: I just noticed that my gif animation seems to be converted to .mp4, and it doesn't work as nicely as it should.

I found a new home (thanks @rolle !), so time to recycle my #introduction

So here we go. Half a century old nerd from the best country there is, 🇫🇮 . I used to make computers go beep for a living, but then I veered into #construction. I'm interested in almost everything. I read #scifi and try to play #bass . I like #gardening and #bumblebees

Internet used to be great*. In 1997 my world expanded when I first installed Red Hat Linux 4.2, and I've been using #linux ever since. Currently more than a decade with #ArchLinux , and #sailfishos runs on my phone.
