They’re on discount. You don’t have to pay for the extra 40% of a keyboard.
Ah, I saw another comment about this. The free plan is 300,000 queries a month. That’d last me almost a week before it stops working.
That says it will only function for 300,000 queries per month. Based on my last 24 hours from pi-hole, that wouldn’t even last a week. Are you using a paid plan?
You think that’s air you’re breathing now?
And Structured Query Language is a handy language for querying structured data?
Yeah, I really dislike snap and have puppet clean it out and add in the real mozilla repo for me. If I wanted sandboxed apps I’d probably look at flatpak but I think there’s still work to be done there also.
Yeah, I just liked that bit of the meme. In the prank the meme is based on, they really are the same.
I’m afraid that’s a CT scanner not an MRI.
Your point stands though.
Canonical added an epoch prefix to the firefox version number. Because that epoch (1) is higher than the implicit default (0), the official ubuntu dummy package is always considered to be a higher version than the official Mozilla package. apt doesn’t look at snap packages, it installs the deb, but the ubuntu deb just runs snap install firefox
and basically nothing else.
w3m
is a proper deb 😛
Looks like only firefox, chromium-browser and thunderbird are these dummy transitional packages. There’s a fwupd-snap
, but the default fwupd
is a full deb.
Yup, apt install chromium-browser
calls snap install chromium
. Looks like thunderbird is the same. There’s a fwupd-snap deb but fwupd seems to be the default.
Well, yes, except Canonical have made them actually do the same thing in the case of Firefox. I’m not aware of any other packages that have the deb install just run the snap install.
So both commands do the same thing… right? I’m not saying snap and apt are the same in general.
In Ubuntu they are the same. firefox
version 1:1snap1-0ubuntu5
is a deb that literally runs the command snap install firefox
in the preinst script. Check line 77 in firefox-1snap1/debian/firefox.preinst
in the source tarball: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/1:1snap1-0ubuntu5
There’s no magic there.
I think this wiki cheetsheet will explain some of the defaults. Pretty much everything is controlled with a keybind using the meta/super (windows) key.
Mod + d
should open the launcher, I only used dmenu but yours might be something else. The launcher will let you launch applications by name. If you just want a terminal,Mod + Enter
will open one.You will want to look at your config. It should live in
~/.config/sway/config
. If it’s not there thenmkdir ~/.config/sway/ && cp /etc/sway/config ~/.config/sway/
. That should list the keybinds you have set. You can look up the options in the man page for sway.Once you can do some basic window control, you might want to customise the status bar. The config should tell you what bar is being used, but there are a huge array of statusbars to choose from - I used i3status-rust but try searching for i3/sway statusbars to see what’s out there.
