  1. 12 Months of Gentoo. Was a success, I hit a couple of random speed bumps along the way but nothing too dramatic.

    Gentoo will probably be home for the forseeable future :)

    Can I call myself a Gentoo user now?

    Beautiful!! Congrats! :D

    Still a totally usable resolution. ;)

    > #scrot for screenshots

    Yes! See if you can find i3-scrot somewhere. It's a little easier to use. Holler if you can't find it.

    Put stuff in ~/.Xsession.
    For wallpaper, you can use feh or nitrogen, or just something like Xbackground??? I'm not running X11 on here, so I'm having to go on memory.
    Xrandr will write a file that you can source like a shell script, IIRC

    man zzz or man apm. Search the web for 'suspend when closing lid "NetBSD"'

    > A battery icon or some type of notifier would be nice.

    Gkrellm??

    Try alt-drag or super/meta-drag inside a window to see if you can grab and move it past the screen edges. Otherwise consult the WM docs.

    Where do I configure keeping the set wallpaper and screen resolution size?

    Can't seem to figure out sleep. Closing the laptop lid does nothing.

    A battery icon or some type of notifier would be nice.

    Using Firefox Nightly and sometimes dialogue boxes extend passed the edges of the screen.

  8. Annoyances fixed (1)

    Since a long time I was annoyed about the blurred screenshots on my Linux computer. I like Flameshot. It allows to make a screenshot and then draw circles or squares or insert some text, use a marker. But just like with the PrintScreen button on the keyboard it gives blurred screenshots.

    <inserting blurred screenshot made with Flameshot>

    A few days ago I found enlightenment with the good old (old school) scrot command line tool, which gives no such blurring.

    I already had a script for scrot made a long time ago but didn’t use it very often :

    #!/bin/sh/usr/bin/scrot -d 5 -e 'mv $f ~/Pictures'

    <inserting screenshot made with scrot>

    See the shiny difference ?

    Drawback is that I need to crop the result manually but since it is only for uploading to Mastodon, which I don’t do very often, this is OK for now.

    Years ago I used Shutter to screengrab but the development of that was stalled (Cause sometimes there’s for example GKT3 -> GTK4 or Python2 -> Python3 migrations needed for a programmer and that can take a lot of time. I think this was the case with Shutter too) and I stopped using it. It is back though. Maybe I’ll try that again too.

  14. dwm is so good, I love it so much. I struggle to use any other wm or de.

    Very much worth the effort with patching and configs.

    I strength train at home... and sometimes post screenshots using #neofetch and #scrot
