Sure, but until their DNS records update, the server is unreachable at the domain address.

As someone else mentioned, this does not seem to be an issue with the DynDNS itself. But rather the fact that your ISP changes your IP regularly (DHCP, non-static IP). I would really recommend you get a static IP from your ISP. DNS lookups should never fail after that.

Display managers handles sessions. A “desktop” is a session and if none are started yet, how can it display it?

Lockscreen and display managers are two different things. They are not the same and does not have the same functionality.

The reason this might work is that some shells, like zsh, interpretes the questionmark in the URL as a function of some sort, making the URL invalid to yt-dlp.

Ghost needs emails for a couple of reasons.

1. (Required) Ghost does not do user passwords. They use magtic links, which they send out via email when signing in. It’s just how they have chosen to do it. You can ask them why they don’t want to save passwords.

2. (Optional) Ghost has a newsletter function. If you enable it, you need to setup a bulk email service, like Mailgun. Even regular SMTP won’t really work there. It can send out a newsletter everytime a blog post is published, so the members will get notified.

I recently had to do this email dance with a Ghost instance setup, where most of the email ports are blocked on the network. I know how you feel. I also wanted to just use passwords, but not currently possible with Ghost.

Other services might do the same as Ghost. I do host many services, that does not require email setup though.

It does not, because you are using a “sandboxed” version (flatpak), so it does not really know what themes/colors are available.

That’s true. I just assume when calender is involved it’s for multiple users. :P

Only free for one user though, even “self-hosted”.

self hosted are the first 2 words in the question…

One of the best ways to reduce power consumption on older laptops is to change the HDD to an SDD.

But don’t expect to get below 10W on an old laptop.

Isn’t the gtk version of the xdg-portal suppose to do this?

(I don’t use gtk, so I’m not sure)

At least Framework disclosed this issue and are pushing out fixes.

Seems most of these Wintel boxes are Intel Celeron/Atom based, so it should be able to run just about any Linux OS.

Or, if it’s not just a faulty file, but a faulty firmware release, don’t update to this version.

Which they do here. Once you upgrade to 10.11, your database is not 10.10 compatible anymore. So you can’t downgrade without restoring a backup.

I wouldn’t count “selecting a different theme” as customizing. But yes, seems we do agree.

I have to disagree.

The inverted cursor is part of the default Windows mouse cursor themes.

@OP I don’t think it’s a default on any Linux Desktop Environments though. But you might be able to find a theme that does this. Perhaps a relevant forum post, that mentioned a keyboard shortcut to quickly locate your cursor.

Audiobookshelf actually has a pretty good ebook implementation.

It’s not its primary focus, but if you have it for audiobooks already, it’s a no-brianer.

If you got it second hand, could it be a defective touchpad?

I watch Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney on my Ubuntu laptop on Firefox all the time. I have a laptop setup in front of my treadmill just to watch shows while I walk.

Are you watching in regular 1080p or above, or the gimped 720p most DRM services impose on the Linux platform?

If it’s 1080p+, how? If it’s 720p, that’s not really acceptable to most people.

I think the point of OP is that Streaming services don’t care about Linux and downright gimps them, so the apps will “look better”. Casual users won’t know or care about the technical reasons.
