Let's start with the laptop, because this is where things take shape before I make them on the desktop.

I use 2 laptops. The first one is a Slimbook Executive 16, and the second is a Tuxedo Stellaris 15.

They both use a core i7 12700H, they both have 16 gigs of RAM, and the Slimbook has an RTX 3050Ti, where the Stellaris has a 3060. They both have 1440p screens. Both laptops run Fedora GNOME, using Wayland, with a few extensions.

First is the all important appindicator support. I also added the "Notification banner reloaded" extension, the Quick Settings tweaker extension, the Privacy Quick settings menu, GS connect, and I have light / dark theme switcher.

And to manage these extensions, I use Extension Manager, a wonderful app that lets you browse, install, update and configure everything.

On top of that, I installed the libadwaita GTK3 theme so apps that haven't been ported to GTK4 still look like the rest of my desktop, as much as possible.

First is writing my scripts. To do that, I use the Iotas Note application. To research scripts, I use Firefox as my web browser, with the Nextcloud passwords extension to sync them between devices.

My laptops are also where I do most of my email, and for that, I use Geary. I also handle all my todo lists on my laptops, and for that I use Endeavour.

I also use the Nextcloud desktop client to sync all my files between devices, and the Synology Drive client, which has a COPR repo that packages it. And finally, I have the occasional use for the GIMP, and OnlyOffice.

I make heavy use of the split screen feature. I also use the activities view, by using touchpad gestures. 3 fingers up on the touchpad brings the overview, and then I can just select a window, or open a new one from the bottom dock or using the keyboard.

My desktop has a Ryzen 7 5800X, an RTX 3070, and 32 gigs of RAM. It's plugged into an LG curved ultrawide monitor at 1440p, and I use a logitech MX Master S3 as my mouse, plus some generic logitech speakers.

My desktop runs Fedora 37, with GNOME. I also add the exact same extensions as on my laptop. I also don't use minimizing at all.

Then, I use Davinci Resolve to do the actual editing. If I need an illustration, like a screenshot, I'll just use the Firefox screenshot tool to capture parts of a webpage, or the whole webpage entirely,.

If I need to record my screen, I use OBS. If I need to quickly download a meme video, or one of my own that I didn't back up, I use Tube Converter. All my Virtual Machine needs are handled using GNOME Boxes, I upload my videos using Firefox, all my thumbnails are done using GIMP.

To record podcasts, I use Audacity with a Blue Yeti microphone.

I use the keyboard a lot here, with the super key being used to open the activities view, or a double tap of the super key to access the app launcher, I use super + left or super + right to tile a window, and super + alt + an arrow key to move to another workspace. When I need to quickly move a window to the next workspace, I use super + alt + shift and an arrow key.

I also use the super key to drag windows around, or super + middle click to quickly resize a floating window.

Cuban FM expresses condolences for death of Charles Rangel cubanews.acn.cu/world/26883-cu…

"Sen. John Fetterman has missed 30 floor votes this year. Back in his state of Pennsylvania, he’s cancelled town halls and come under fire for failing to engage with his own constituents.

But in March, during a state work period in which senators typically engage with the people they represent, he instead went on an all-expenses-paid trip to Israel, thanks to the generosity of a New York City nonprofit focused on mental health in the international Jewish community.

Alongside his wife Gisele, Fetterman flew first class to Israel and stayed in five-star hotels in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem as part of a “Fact-Finding Mission,” according to recent travel disclosure documents. On the trip, the itinerary shows, he met with President Benjamin Netanyahu “to discuss the current state of affairs in Israel and Israel’s response to the mental health crisis following the October 7th terrorist attacks.” During that meeting, Netanyahu gave Fetterman a silver beeper to commemorate Israel’s attack in Lebanon — which the United Nations has called a “terrifying violation of international law.”

Fetterman’s three-day Israel trip, which cost over $36,000, was funded by Relief Resources, a New York City-based nonprofit that describes itself as “dedicated to supporting the international Jewish community in overcoming the broad range of conditions related to mental illness.” While Fetterman has been under intense scrutiny surrounding his mental health and ability to do his job, on the trip he was honored at a Jerusalem gala for his “leadership in mental health awareness and legislative advocacy.”"

Comment le pantouflage détruit la démocratie


Rejoignez-nous, devenez sociétaire : blast-info.fr/devenir-societai…

"Alexis Kohler est parti après dix ans de bons et loyaux services à Macron. Mais ne vous en faites pas, il part vers de meilleurs horizons. Dans les prochaines semaines il rejoindra le groupe bancaire Société Générale. Et oui, la Société Générale : la banque, Jérôme Kerviel, tout ça quoi !
Quand un homme au service de l'intérêt général se met à travailler pour une entreprise privée, c'est du pantouflage. Et c'est pas très compliqué de trouver des cas de pantouflage, dans les plus hautes sphères il y en a tout le temps. Je pense qu'avec cet exemple, vous avez une meilleure idée de ce qu'est le pantouflage. Mais question, d'où ça vient ? Et surtout, pourquoi ça a un nom aussi rigolo ?"

News lets you import an already existing list of feeds, or you can create one. It supports folders, and News can auto discover feeds for you. News lets you export your feed list, navigate using the J and K keys of your keyboard, and you can use another app that plugs into nextcloud, like NewsFlash on GNOME.

Next app is Notes. All my scripts and articles are written in Notes. You just get basic markdown support for titles, bold and italic, and section headers, and it lets you place your notes into categories. It also supports versioning. I use Iotas on GNOME to access and edit these notes.

Nextcloud collectives is also interesting, it's a leaner, faster version of something like Confluence. It lets you create Collectives, lets others collaborate and edit them, and they support more advanced syntax, with images or emojis. You can create templates, pages, subpages, you can view page outlines, or add links from one page to another.

For task management, I use Nextcloud Tasks and Deck. Tasks lets you create multiple lists, and multiple tasks per list, with support for tags, start date, due date, priorities, and even completion percentage or current status. As per Nextcloud Deck, it places tasks in boards, that you can customize with all the columns you want, and it supports the same tags and the same properties for each task as Nextcloud tasks.

Next one is Nextcloud passwords. It's a password manager, self hosted on your nextcloud server, so it's less likely to be affected in a wide data breach. It's end to end encrypted. It has a web interface to browse your passwords, but you'll really want to use the browser extensions for Firefox or any Chrome based browser.

Another small app I use every day is External Sites. It lets you add shortcuts to other websites inside your nextcloud menu, and it will open them in your nextcloud interface.

Nextcloud has a connector to let you plug an office suite directly to your nextcloud server. I went for OnlyOffice, and it lets me create new documents straight from the Nextcloud files app, and edit existing ones from the web interface, on any computer I want.

Custom menu is basically give you complete control over how your menu works.

Mastodon integration lets me add my mastodon feed or mentions onto my Nextcloud dashboard.

All my contacts are hosted on Nextcloud, and so are my calendars. They plug in on the desktop with GNOME's online accounts, and on mobile, well it's just caldav and carddav, any OS can access that.

Nextcloud Forms lets you create surveys easily, with multiple question types, single or multiple answers, long form text fields, and more, and it lets you publish a public link to that survey.

Nextcloud photos progressed a TON in the last version of Nextcloud, and now supports albums, editing your photos, sharing them with other people, and it can even auto recognize faces in your various pictures.

Files has the ability to move, copy, paste, favorite your files and folders, you can share them, you can edit them, and it auto syncs with the nextcloud desktop client, and you can access everything from the nextcloud mobile app for iOS and Android.

So tomorrow morning I'll be setting off.
I'll be offline for the most part. Hope everyone has a lovely first half of summer.

In the meantime,
I'm going home.
