  • I spent 4 years with and external monitor on my desk that I couldn’t use because it was absolutely painful to find a consistent way to make the 2 different DPIs of the screens work in a way that made sense. Only now with proper Wayland can I enjoy and use it. Yeah there’s hacks, but I’d rather let it be dead in a corner than try to work around it. It was a bunch of black screen, inconsitencies between the order I’d plug the external screen, when i did it (before or after logging in), etc… I can’t even imagine all the other pain points about hdr, variable or high refresh rates, etc.

    Wayland is great.

    Had to wait a bunch of time and tried many times before and it wasn’t ready for my needs, but now it is and I’m happy. God knows how many rants I’ve done on fedi about it not working for a lot of time on plasma and weird bugs everwhere.




  • Over the years I had a mix of random places where I’ve put passwords and secrets. In the last 2 years I’ve been centralizing everything onto keepass since I really dislike all the other online password services. I can recommend it greatly too. I use syncthing with keepassXC (3 laptops, one is a mac others linux) and keepassDX (for android). Since I basically always have more than 1 device active and with connectivity around, it all ends up syncing and distributing properly.










  • the tray icon/app is indeed some kind of electron thing. it basically just configures a folder in you home that syncs 2 ways. webdav works fine. tested with kde’s dolphin and with rclone. sometimes using one of them is much slower than the other, I don’t understand webdav that well. the android app basically allows to navigate the whole thing and download only what you want or keep some things synced locally. there’s also the option to automatically send everything new like new photos to the cloud with it on the background. been working fine.
