When Firefox decided to change the shell of the browser and move to WebExtensions (same format of extensions as used by Chrome) you have not been able to change the interface as you wished anymore via browser extension. I was using TabMix Plus, and later one Tree Style Tab extensions in order to fit many open tabs and have them all visible at the same time. Before, extensions could automatically disable tab bar for example and minimize vertical space usage. ...
I’ve been using Mutt for quite some time now and I find it great due to many things such as: Very lightweight - I’m able to use it on any machine without making the machine unresponsive like with Thunderbird or Evolution when they decide to pull all of the 20-30 thousand messages I have in my mailbox TUI interface - the fact I can use it from the terminal has helped me develop my whole workflow around it. I can use it on any WM, DE, or hell, I even use it on servers sometimes. Powerful built-in features - It supports all the things I need, IMAP, SMTP, I can tag messages, manipulate tagged messages in one batch and so on. Once you dig under the hood a bit it becomes very useful in many areas So without further ado here are some of the things I’ve tweaked in Mutt throughout the years in order to make it more usable for me. ...
With the release of Juno I decided to give it a try and pretty much liked it on laptop. In fact I liked it so much that I decided to install it on desktop as well. On my main rig I run Ubuntu proper (18.04 + KDE installed manually). Since I have everything set up, and am lazy to reinstall machine unnecessarily, I’ve decided to just convert that install to ElementaryOS so here are the steps I did to achieve that: ...
When I was setting up Macbook I selected Croatian keyboard layout and for some reason it was defined as default from that moment for login screen. Although I primarily use US layout and have changed it for my account Croatian was still used for login screen once the computer powered on. No matter how I changed default layout and set up global one it would still default to Croatian after the reboot. Then I find out about com.apple.HIToolbox.plist file located in ~/Library/Preferences folder. That file is used for storing your user keyboard layouts. ...

By default proc is mounted in a way that allows inspection of other users processes by any account on the system. This can be a security risk if attacker gets hold of one of the accounts on the machine as it can freely inspect processes and gather information that it perhaps shouldn’t have. In order to restrict access we can add hidepid mount option to /etc/fstab: proc /proc proc defaults,hidepid=2 0 0 To re-mount current /proc you can use: ...
ProcFS in Linux has many useful information about process and its status. In this particular case I’ll show you how to determine progress while copying the file with cp. Same principle can be used for many other situations as well; like importing MySQL dump or whatever you comes up on your mind :-) So in this situation I am copying the ~98GB file to another directory: cp -a /input/archive.tar.gz /output/ First, let’s find PID of this process. As this is only cp process that I’m running on the system I can use: ...
Ever since Symless (company behind Synergy product) has published “cloud based Synergy 2 service” I had nothing but problems and headaches with it. The major issue that I have had was that it simply wouldn’t pass the mouse/keyboard control to other configured screen. THIS IS THE SOLE PURPOSE FOR THIS PIECE OF SOFTWARE BTW!. Anyhow, after I stopped whining and decided to look into issue I’ve found that bot laptop and desktop were “Unable to open display :0:0”. Well, no wonder as THAT ISN’T THE RIGHT DISPLAY. Correct display is, at least for me on Ubuntu, :1. ...
Some of the shortcuts I find useful in Vim, but sometimes I fail to remember some of them :-) Navigation gj and gk - move down and up by virtual lines gg - beginning of the file G - end of file 25G - 25th line w - beginning of the next word W - beginning of the next word, delimited by space e - end of the word b - beginning of the word B - beginning of the word, delimited by space % - matching parentheses 0 - beginning of the line (^ also works) $ - end of line Insertion ...
