  • Is there a way to defeat the “Command completed” notifications in a gnome-based session? At least out of the box on a fedora desktop, every shell command in kitty produces an alert at the top of the screen. The idea behind those notifications, as I understand it, is for if you’ve moved to another window while waiting for a long-running process to complete in your terminal. At least that’s how it seems to work for the native gnome terminal: it produces a notification only if the window is not focused. Continually having stuff like “Command completed: ls” pop up as I type is a little too distracting for me.


  • I’m gonna have to pass on whatever ideology came up with that and work toward dismantling it.

    That’s been my outlook for a while too. There’s only so much influence you can have over people are set in their thoughts and ways, but we can help with the larger generational change. For a lot of us, turning a corner for the sake of our kids might end up being our best legacy.

    Also I can appreciate your tendency to read more than you post. Usually that characteristic leads to better quality posts when you do make them, because you are going to tend to read them yourself before submitting! I sometimes feel cheapened when I read “I CAN TYPING” posts that the authors clearly didn’t take the time to read through.

    I just got back from playing in the first concert of the summer for the Ames Municipal Band at the bandshell park. Big happy crowd in the perfect weather. We were supposed to play last Thursday but got rained out.

    Were it not for that, I probably would have been sitting out on the porch tonight!

    Been a few years but if I recall correctly the postgres “out of the box” settings are extremely conservative with regard to memory usage, to allow implementation on minimal hardware. (That might have changed in the last few years.) Once there’s significant data flow, some of the params need to be jacked up to run smoothly.

    Disclaimer, I’m certainly no expert, and you might already know more about this than I do.

    Well, it so happens I was a Wisconsin resident for a few years – longer ago than I’m eager to say, but maybe it will suffice to say I watched Paul Molitor and Robin Yount play at County Stadium!

    Welcome - I need to get up there again (from Ames IA). Been a few years since my last visit to Target Field. And Hell’s Kitchen, come to think of it.

    I used fountain pens for a little while, didn’t quite the hang of it, later settled into the Cross Selectip family. There’s a particularly heavy one here with medium-tip black gel roller that really calms my nerves and tells me I’m on top of things when I pull it out to take notes or brainstorm during a difficult work meeting.






  • Geezer Iowan here, getting the feet moist in anticipation of reddit (see account there of same name) becoming unusable/unpalatable for me. Too many interests/hobbies to list, but outside of work culture, the lion’s share of my real life socializing is via local wind bands and orchestras; I’m a french horn player, and horn sections tend to develop into their own little social clubs.
