There was a post earlier today complaining about questions that aren’t open-ended, and therefore don’t adhere to the community rules. So here we are with a question with many possible answers (which makes it properly open-ended).

I guess it’s not relevant for your setup, but I like rofi because there is a fork that works in Wayland, and it’s the only Wayland window switcher I have found that isn’t tied to a specific window manager.

To start the firewall after you stopped it:

sudo systemctl start firewalld

systemctl is part of systemd - it starts and stops various services, shows statuses, lists available services, etc.

There is documentation on opening ports here, plus more details on enabling & disabling the firewall: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/firewalld/#_controlling_ports_using_firewalld

Probably not directly helpful, but Nix packages for Chromium and Electron apps are set up so that you can switch to native Wayland mode globally by setting an environment variable, NIXOS_OZONE_WL=1

I don’t know of any global setting that isn’t distro-specific.

That’s a different form

The artificial sounds are legally required at low speeds, at least in the US and Europe. In the US electronic sounds are required at speeds below 30 kph. In the EU I think it’s 20 kph. At faster speeds the sounds of wheels on the road and such make electric and hybrid cars basically as loud as ICE cars.

There are very specific rules about the noises. It looks like there was some effort in the US to allow user-selectable sounds, but it didn’t work out. I found some info here, https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/07/13/2022-14733/federal-motor-vehicle-safety-standards-minimum-sound-requirements-for-hybrid-and-electric-vehicles

From what I’ve learned revolutions are often accompanied by circumstances where people are desperate due to lack of basic necessities, especially food.

The French revolution was preceded by a serious food shortage. Remember that “let them eat cake” comment? One of the key events, the Women’s March which displaced the king and queen from Versailles, was specifically motivated by demands for food.

The European People’s Spring saw lots of revolutions across Europe in 1848-1849 including in France, Italy, Bavaria, Austria, Hungary. That was about the same time as a continent-wide grain shortage on top of an economic crisis.

The Russian revolution of 1917 came at a time when a combination of WW1, bad leadership, and an extra cold winter led to food shortages, and fuel shortages so people were starving and freezing at the same time.

It could be good, but there is a conflict with one of the electric car hurdles: range anxiety. I use a level 1 charger at home which works fine for regular use - but it does take about 4 days to charge a nearly-depleted battery up to 80%. I’d be loath to give up energy that takes such a long time to get back. But this system would presumably require a level 2 charger, and that might make it ok. Still I can imagine objections over not having a car charged when you want to make a longer, last-minute trip, and over battery depreciation due to more cycling.

I love the name!

This seems like the right answer to me. Whether or not you decide to dual boot, make one of these USB keys so you can recover if something goes wrong.

Only tangentially related, but if you choose to ignore the portal you can come back later to get Gale. I was in a role-playing mood on my first playthrough. When I encountered a strange portal, and was given only the choices of ignoring it or sticking my hand in I thought, “How about no.”

When I was using Debian I found I could generally get the latest version of software I wanted from Nix if it wasn’t in the main Debian repos, or was outdated. Nix works quite well on any Linux distro - it doesn’t interfere with the rest of the system.

That comic really came out with a banger on day 1

All I can tell you is that this is done differently for each shell. So decide whether you want completions for bash, zsh, fish, all of the above, or whatever, and look at the docs for the relevant shells.

This is how I sometimes take my dog on my bike for short trips:

But the best way to transport dogs is using a trailer. That tub takes the place of the rear seat; so to transport kids and the dog at the same time I’d need a trailer.

There are other galaxy clusters. Gravitational binding is not unique to the local cluster. From Wikipedia,

Notable galaxy clusters in the relatively nearby Universe include the Virgo Cluster, Fornax Cluster, Hercules Cluster, and the Coma Cluster.

The expansion of the universe is very tricky to explain. Oversimplifying can lead to an explanation that seems to be contradictory.

By using one rail they can get two-way traffic on one set of tracks. These early units have an anti-tipping safety device that extends to the second rail, but they plan to get rid of that later.

I think you want to remove the c because that means “create” an archive, and you’re missing a z which applies gzip decompression/compression

This is why I switched to labelling USB sticks with two-character codes, and I keep a file that lists the current content of each stick.

I think this is good advice. Don’t over-think it!
