  • the cursor locking still happens in a handful of games for me - most work perfectly fine but sometimes i do end up running something with gamescope with the --force-grab-cursor argument to fix it.

    this is when running games with either steam or wine/bottles/lutris.

    strange that it happens in virualbox, i would think it “virtualizing” an entire display would fix issues like that. does virtualbox itself “grab” the cursor, or allow it to go off the screen by default? sorry i don’t really know virtualbox, never used it much


  • I’ve just recently set up a blog usign Zola (https://www.getzola.org/) because i am looking for something where i’ll actually keep making posts. not quite ready to share it yet, but if it keeps going well i might.

    The reason i chose Zola is because it’s easy to write new posts. it’s also simple to setup and very lightweight. a single exectuable (set up a systemd service to start it when the homelab server boots), forward web traffic to it, choose some theme you like and make simple markdown files as posts.

    The simple markdown files as posts was the main criteria for me - a small header with title, date and categories, and after that just… pretty much plain text write your post, as a markdown file on the server it’s running on. No special login, no “publish” button, no fancypants UI with all kinds of fields to fill out and formatting options… just write. Zola detects itself it the filesystem changed and automatically reflects your changes on the site.


  • Plenty of distros do package closed source software that does who knows what. i wouldn’t worry about it for now. if you are on a distro that takes a hardline stance on privacy, it was probably gone a while ago, but i don’t actually know any such distros right now.


  • easiest thing for me was to just… uninstall the app and use it in a browser.

    the experience is so terrible, i don’t spend much time on it anymore. seriously, go to reddit.com and see what it looks like with no account and no extensions.

    instagram is even worse, once in a while i try to open a funny post someone sends me in the browser, and … it usually works for the first post (after clicking away a bunch of popups) but if i open a second one i get completely blocked. thanks meta 👌
