I used one called Go!Zilla. I remember the UI being somewhat similar to Winamp, and that I liked to configure it to think that my connection speed was 14.4 kbps so the "speed graph" was always in the "high speed download" zone when I was downloading at 50 kbps 😅.

I love and use the Unsolved Mysteries intro song for calls, and a generic one from my phone for alarms.

I have a refrigerator from around 1988 or 1989 that still works perfectly. Around 1999, it stopped working, so we bought a new one. We didn't throw away the old fridge because we used it to store plates and cutlery, but we were sure that it was completely broken. Then, last year, a technician saw it and told us that only a component needed to be replaced for it to work again. Lo and behold, the damn thing was revived, and after a two-decade slumber it worked again as if no time had passed.

Actually, I would really like to find a similarly non-bland proportional character to use beside it.

Well, there's Fira Sans, but I don't know if it's what you want. I like to use it for things like slides and titles, and I've used it as a GUI typography for some time.

I use Fira Code Retina. I like that it is not too light, not too bold. I'm also partial to Cascadia Code and DejaVu Mono.

For the GUI, I use Adwaita Sans in both my GNOME and XFCE computers.

Very cool 👍 . Too bad I can't use it right now, because MPV 0.39 is affected by a ffmpeg bug where every video from YouTube plays without audio. It seems it has been solved in v. 0.40, but it's not yet in Fedora 41 (neither 42).

Welcome to the club! :D

From central Mexico, my favorite is huaxmole (or guaxmole, "mole de huaje"): pork with a sauce made of guaje (Leucaena leucocephala) seeds, green chiles and, sometimes, husk tomatoes. Other recipes use goat meat, red chiles and can be more like a soup.

Yes, everyone has different views about that. Personally, it's precisely because we have limited time that I want to experience a variety of things without limiting myself to a subset of all of the literature. Many people like to read, say, mainly Sci-fi and that's good: they know exactly what they like. Me? I tend to get bored of a particular genre or theme pretty easily, and that's why I like to be chaotic. One more thing: I really, really dislike other people or machines telling me what to read, so whenever someone gives me a book recommendation, that book goes to the bottom of my priority list 😅.

Only if you're what I call a "methodic reader", that is, someone who knows exactly what you want to read and don't want to derange from your preferred list of genres, themes and/or authors.

In my case, I like to experiment reading from authors or genres that I don't know, in different languages, many times using only the cover and title as a guide. I've discovered that things like recommendations, book clubs and social networks are not my thing. I apply the same criteria for things like manga, mahwas, webtoons and so on. So far, I can say that I've liked ~80% of what I've read.

 

Hello. I want to write an Udev rule to change my laptops's EasyEffects profile whenever I connect a speaker set or headphones to the 3.5mm jack. The concept is relatively simple: when I connect something to the jack, I want it to fire a script that will set this Dconf setting:

gsettings set com.github.wwmm.easyeffects last-loaded-output-preset 'None'

And when I unplug the speakers/headphones, it'll set this:

gsettings set com.github.wwmm.easyeffects last-loaded-output-preset 'Laptop'

("None" and "Laptop" are EasyEffects profiles).

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find useful info, since almost all of the results I found online refer to Bluetooth or USB devices. I checked within /sys/class/sound/ and /dev/ for a file where I could query the status of the jack (something like "connected"/"disconnected") but I can't find something relevant. I have a similar rule that changes GNOME's font scaling when I plug my HDMI display, and it does that by running this script:

function monitorConnected () {
  statuses=$(cat /sys/class/drm/card1-HDMI-A-{1,2,3,4}/status 2>/dev/null)    
  for status in ${statuses[@]}                                                
  do                                                                          
        [[ ${status} == "connected" ]] && return 0                              
  done                                                                        
  return 1                                                                    
  }

So I thought that I could do something similar for the 3.5mm jack. Or maybe there's another method? Any hints? My OS is Fedora 41 and I'm using Pipewire, btw.
