Makes sense, I just dont quite get what the compositor does in the case of two videos being played simulatanously both with vastly different profiles (e.g. one mostly red, one mostly blue).

Does the compositor then do correction on a per-window basis, or it just averages across the whole screen. This question is likely outside of the scope of the PR

I guess related to the MPV post. From what I understand wp_color_manager_v1 essentially tells a window manager what colorspace its outputting (via dbus?) so that the window manager can make (realtime?) color corrections.

Trying to think of a use case… maybe if you have a really red video scene, your window manager can normalise that so you can see the different shades of red better. Am I even close?

I checked out the PR but I’m not sure what this means

I was gonna say, really? AI to parse a timeline? Overkill

Oh wow, since I’ve set my profile defaults to “subscribed” and “scaled”, my experience is exactly what I want

We should make it April 30th, because that way if no one receives their propers, then the developers can go on the strike the day after.

Hah. So I used scaled on “All”, but you’re right that I dont use it on subscribed. Maybe that’s the secret magic I’ve been missing.

Cheers for the tip!

I use wezterm, and like the edit mode and the window splitting, but it’s very much designed for vim users and as an emacs nerf herder I just can’t seem to find my home

You mean an infinite polyhedron? Are you out of your mind?

Very good shout on last – I see the boot up and power down states very nicely described there. Sadly, no hibernate info is there, so I would still need to check journalctl for that info

It can report just before it’s shutting down. Hell, if I run shutdown -P 20:00 "OH WE GOIN DOWN" you bet your ass that I will get a wall message on every tty with that message at 8pm.

I’m just wondering how to reliably capture the shutdown messages without having to scan the entire system log. I just assumed that there would be one service file that I would have to check for these types of events, but apparently the best bet I have is the TLP service daemon which typically only runs on laptops.

Per month? That is high.

I got a 25€/month from Vodafone @ 60MB/s, which really is enough for a small family

Hmm! I never considered checking to see what loginctl was doing

And yep I think you’re right, the most portable way of doing this is to maybe write my own service with hooks for OnBoot OnShutdown OnSleep OnWake (if that’s a systemctl hook…)

I see thanks

I guess uptime monitoring of any host, with specific timestamps for when the system is suspended/resumed.
(Yes I understand that a server ideally shouldn’t sleep)

In the scenario I have, the browser clipboard literally lets me drag-and-drop files to my laptop. I do hear your wider point though

You can always connect to yourself from the Windows machine and tunnel SSH over that, but it’s likely you’ll hit a firewall or possibly even a TLS MitM box.

I don’t want to undermine their security. I could do a reverse proxy of course, I was just wondering if AWS itself had a solution here

Yeah the browser seems to be what I’m resigned to. In terms of security, there isn’t really much stopping me from spawning an reverse SSH proxy to a public server from within the desktop, and then connecting to that…

If I wanted to wreac havok, my user would still need to be in the right access groups to do anything. I feel that cutting out the middleman and letting me connect directly to the bastion would be easier for everyone…

The way I reason it, the Windows Desktop that AWS spawns in done on a Linux-based VM in the cloud. AWS then creates a VPN to the workplace to make it seem like it shares the same subnet as the compute nodes. I think that’s how this works.

If so, I’m wondering if I can just SSH either into that VM without spawning the desktop and access the VPN that way, or if AWS itself offers some kind of service that extends the VPN directly to me.

I should stress that I’m not asking for creative solutions, I’m only wondering if this is a common use-case that easily catered for and I just need to RTFM better

I have, but the IT dept either willfully misinterprets my request, or does not actually know. No judgement from my side, as I am also uncertain.

My plan is to find a solution that complies with their security standards (i.e. through AWS’s authentication spec), but allows me a VPN/SSH style passthrough.
