I often leave Steam running in the background. Indeed, KDE seems to be suspending more reliably after I exit Steam. Thanks for the suggestion!

Looks like that script is for Gnome (based on the StackOverflow post listed on the project page, it talks to org.gnome.SessionManager via dbus). I wonder if there is a similar way to talk to PowerDevil?

The article already has one example: “Juneau, Alaska, voted to remove fluoride from its drinking water in 2007. A study published in the journal BMC Oral Health in 2018 compared the dental records of children and adolescents who received dental care for decaying teeth four years before and five years after the city stopped adding fluoride to the water. Cavity-related procedures and treatment costs were significantly higher in the latter group, the study found.”

My city has a tool library program that sounds exactly like this (I haven’t tried it yet, not sure how well it works in practice). Would be especially nice for one-off sorts of tools you don’t expect to use often.

The downside is you’d need to line up your project with their hours, and hope no one else is using it when you need it. But if you have the flexibility to plan ahead, could be a nifty resource.

Fun fact - we will intentionally inject (small) bubbles of air into your veins to look for connections between chambers of your heart that shouldn’t be there. It’s called a Bubble Study. https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/what-is-a-bubble-study

Looks like evremap will do what I want, plus a nifty bonus! The following config lets me use CapsLock + N/P/etc to navigate. And if I just tap CapsLock without pressing anything else, it will act as escape.

 undefined

    
device_name = "Telink Wireless Receiver"

[[dual_role]]
input = "KEY_CAPSLOCK"
hold = ["KEY_F19"]
tap = ["KEY_ESC"]

[[remap]]
input = ["KEY_F19", "KEY_N"]
output = ["KEY_DOWN"]

[[remap]]
input = ["KEY_F19", "KEY_P"]
output = ["KEY_UP"]

[[remap]]
input = ["KEY_F19", "KEY_B"]
output = ["KEY_LEFT"]

[[remap]]
input = ["KEY_F19", "KEY_F"]
output = ["KEY_RIGHT"]

[[remap]]
input = ["KEY_F19", "KEY_A"]
output = ["KEY_HOME"]

[[remap]]
input = ["KEY_F19", "KEY_E"]
output = ["KEY_END"]

  

Note: I used F19 because it doesn't seem to be bound to anything by default. Apparently, a bunch of the other function keys already did things, as described in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet

 undefined

    
$ cat /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet | grep FK13
    key    {      [ XF86Tools         ]       };
    key   {       [ XF86MailForward       ]       };
    key   {       [ XF86Word              ]       };      // F2
    key   {       [ XF86MailForward       ]       };      // F3

$ cat /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet | grep FK20
    key    {      [ XF86AudioMicMute      ]       };

  

Looks like there’s an open issue (with fairly recent activity) for adding Wayland support: https://github.com/joshgoebel/keyszer/issues/27

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll look into this more.

Thank you for the suggestions! I’ll dig into these tonight and see what I can get working.

Added some info to the post. Firewall is blocking 3289 UDP from my printer, so I added 3289 UDP to open ports for "home", "public", and "internal" zones. However, I'm still seeing filter_IN_public_REJECT entries in dmesg, so it seems the firewall is still blocking these. Is there a different way I should be telling it to allow requests on this port?

Firewall also allows mdns service (again, in "home", "public", and "internal" zones), but I also see entries like this:

[41951.119486] filter_IN_public_REJECT: IN=wlp0s20f0u3 OUT= MAC= SRC=192.168.1.1 DST=224.0.0.1 LEN=36 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=1 ID=10725 DF PROTO=2 MARK=0x3214

It sounds like 224.0.0.1 is related to mdns broadcasts, so it seems firewall is also still blocking these (despite mdns being allowed service).

Am I specifying these in the wrong place? (Per Connections - System Settings, my wifi is in Firewall zone "home").

Yes, "sane" service is already in the "Allowed" list.

Added "mdns" service to allowed list for public zone, still get the SANE error. (Previously added 5353 UDP per another suggestion -- sounds like this is the port for mDNS)

No change with allowing 5353 UDP through the firewall, unfortunately. But thank you for the suggestion!

I think it’s from the boot camp scenes in the movie Full Metal Jacket.

I always read “f/u w/PCP” as “fucked up on PCP” instead of “follow up with primary care provider”.

A nurse at work had “CA$H MONEY” tattooed inside her lip. Sounded like the result of a drunken dare/bet.

Looks like NOAA has historical data here: https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/historical_data.shtml. The buoy from the screenshot in the article only has a few years worth, here’s 2019: https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/download_data.php?filename=jkyf1h2019.txt.gz&dir=data/historical/stdmet/
