#swaycompositor — Public Fediverse posts

Fun: try communicating with #i3 / #SwayCompositor using #netcat and an #ASCII table!

$ man ascii
$ man sway-ipc # (for Sway)
$ nc -U "$I3SOCK" # "$SWAYSOCK" also works for Sway

Then enter:

i3-ipc^@^@^@^@^C^@^@^@

'^@' is a 0 byte; you can get it with Ctrl+@ (Ctrl+Shift+2) or sometimes Ctrl+Space. '^C' is a 3 byte; you'll need to escape it so that your terminal takes it literally rather than quitting `nc`; enter Ctrl+V then Ctrl+C.

Once you're done, press Ctrl+D once to send!

I created a syntax highlighting config for my programming language Slang, for GNOME 's GTKSourceView :D

This will make working on my videogame much more comfortable I think 😊

#LossyPNG (an @rl_dane hashtag lol. I had changed the DPI in #SwayCompositor so I could capture larger screenshots, and I think my NVidia driver might be breaking the Wayland xdg-output protocol, so its scaled funny)
