Yeah. It’s bean a long time!

Not-wired connections are always and without exception a workaround for devises where it is impossible or impractical to use a wired connection with.

Exactly! Your user data is stored in c:\users. This includes, well, your user data for all of the users, including all user-spefific configuration files and application data and actual files and directories created by the user.

Unfortunately lots of configuration is stored in the registry and is useless for transitioning them over to Linux. Same with most Windows software that doesn’t use the registry. You’ll unfortunately also find configuration files all.over the place. Might it be in the application’s installation directory c:\ProgramData, or somewhere else.

Malicious compliance is the best form of compliance.

can’t figure this shit out!

Oh they can. They just won’t.

I did, and I just don’t “feel it”. Those is all great software but none of them really fits my specific use case. They all seem to be deeply connected with desktop environments or being just plain old font managers.

My dream is something like an image viewer, but for fonts. A bit like display from ImageMagick does it, but more like this.

So, what dependencies do the DE font viewers actually pull in?

The ones specific to that DE, which I do not want.

Mmmh, nope, only the normal version available.

The Flatpak version (or KCharSelect in general) unfortunately ignores the font file given on command line.

KCharSelect

It just installs kcharselect … and figuratively half of KDE :)

There seems to be a Flatpak available I’ll check out later when I have time to install hundreds of megabyte of depending other KDE-specific Flatpaks …

As far as I know, GNOME and KDE have had font viewers since time immemorial.

I was talking specifically about web fonts and web font websites which help me not the slightest with my use case.

Ideally something that allows me to see the characters in a table, sorted by character blocks, like in the LibreOffice “Insert Special Characters” dialog, so that I’m not limited to some predefined text but being able to see all characters.

These types of apps became fairly irrelevant with the advent of Web Fonts and sites that already do all of this.

That’s my point. All of those stupid modern things do not solve my issue of just double-clicking a local ttf file in my file manager to see some text rendered in that font. That is literally all I want to do.

The fact that you’re asking for whatever tool to not use something like QT or GTK

I don’t really care what graphics toolkit is used. I just don’t want something that is heavily interconnected with any type of desktop environment due to not wanting to install a metric shit-ton of dependencies 😉

selfhost.eu offers dynamic DNS which works perfectly fine with my router, using their API access as documented by them. It also works perfectly well with Let’s Encrypt integrated in Nginx Proxy Manager.

• can handle .at domains
• is not Cloudflare
• is registrar and name server
• is European (Germany)
• supports Nginx Proxy Manager

They’re in the market since 2001, I use them since ca. 2010 and never had any issues. Their website looks ancient, almost historic. But it’s functional.

You can easily remap it to something useful.

At this point I wonder if the last few months of systematically destructing the rest of Microsoft’s reputation is a false-flag action by Linux users who infiltrated the company.

AI bro’s “won” again.

So it’s basically just milking the same franchise with sequels or remakes, the usual Marvel slop and the Disney trash.

Wero is a trap

It is also insecure by design and actively supports scamming people.

Well—that is certainly a meticulous observation! 🔍

Someone else will continue selling RAM and making money.
