  • That's a pretty great extension I use on a daily basis. I just wish there would be a little more customisation on how it looks like.

    I'd like to be able to have more options on how the window appears and where, like a smaller floating window appears where the mouse or the cursor is would be also a useful option. I don't need link previews and I think the item boxes are too big.









  • I'm originally from Brazil but I've been living in Poland for the past decade so I had the Polish app setup with Android covid notifications. The neat thing is that it doesn't matter as they all talk together due to how the protocol works.

    I got a few notifications in Poland, and I also did travel to Brazil, and got notifications there too.

    The app only works if enough people are in though, so if nobody uses then it won't work. Depends on the area, people, way of thinking.



  • Thanks for all your comments, a lot of interesting things here.

    I went with BtrFS with Timeshift. Seems to have improved in terms of performance a lot that I barely noticed any difference compared to the previous installation with Ext4, if any at all.

    Unfortunately the current Ubuntu 23.10 installer doesn't properly set btrfs subvolumes correctly for @ and @home and instead instead just throws the entire OS at the root of the FS, making it incompatible with Timeshift and causing FS snapshots to live in the Linux directories, which in turn would cause future snapshots to contain snapshots, not great...

    Fortunately migrating to a subvolume layout is possible although it was quite painful following this outdated and a bit not well written post https://www.reddit.com/r/btrfs/s/qWi84tGJam

    After successfully installing the system and setting up btrfs layouts and Timeshift, I created the first system snapshot and I feel extremely confident about this solid system.

    Thanks again for sharing your experience!




  • Thank you for that, I also recently posted asking for help with this matter a couple days ago. I'm back to Linux after about 5 years break and initially I thought it was only Fedora, but then I changed to openSUSE Tumbleweed and then again to Ubuntu, and all of them presented the same issue, so it really was clear it was a bigger issue than a single distro. Nonetheless turning off 2FA is a workaround only and some accounts like work account won't allow turning it off at all, so definitely this is something the GNOME team should be prioritizing to fix soon.





  • It depends on your age or health I guess. I'm now 34 and I am learning some types of food will tend to make me sleepy while others will help me stay away and focused for longer (or maybe they just don't make me sleepy?)

    Basically avoiding any type of heavy carbohydrates does the trick to me. Bread, spaghetti, potatoes, milk (in your coffee).

    If I do get sleepy, also not sitting straight after lunch helps, I recently got a standup desk and I stand the first 30 min after lunch for work, really helps.

    Also avoid any kind of sugar at all costs. Candies, dessert, ice cream, chocolate, sweetened coffee, and counterintuitively even some fruits such as bananas may give you a sugar crush.
