joschminute: is there a reason why the default .config/waybar/style.css does not include something like:09:56
josch#workspaces button.urgent { background-color: #eb4d4b; }09:56
joschor is that just an oversight?09:56
joschin foot, [bell] urgent=yes enables sending urgency and highlighting the workspace where something requires attention in waybar10:11
minutejosch: hmm, oversight i guess10:54
joschokay, i'll fix that then10:55
joschlast year i was disappointed when i read online that wayland has no concept of window urgency so i ended up constantly switching to the workspaces where i have my chats open to check if anything happened. But it seems that sway supports receiving urgency signals through the XDG activation protocol which is what foot is doing now and which is also what other applications like thunderbird are doing.10:57
joschfirefox uses it too10:59
joschxfceterm does not -- time to switch to foot everywhere XD11:00

grimmwareI feel like notifications and urgency are still like, an unsolved problem generally because there's a belief now that it's up to the computer to tell you what you should be spending your attention on at any given time. macOS likes to grab focus when I'm in the middle of doing things like typing passwords, it's fucking infuriating.12:11
joschstealing the focus is really bad, yes. Reminds me also of interfaces (web and native) where buttons get rendered only to change position after a second once more stuff of the ui gets rendered. As a result, when trying to click on the button I end up clicking on something else instead...12:16
vkoskivI12:22
vkoskivWhoops12:22
vkoskivI've always just used irssi, but I get the feeling that something like WeChat/HipChat would feel more comfortable12:22
vkoskivI never really properly learned many of the options here12:22
vkoskivOpinions?12:22
joschi'm using irssi on one of my servers so that i can easily stay connected 24/712:24
vkoskivSame, this is running on my webserver, which is mostly always on12:24
vkoskivSurprising amount of power cuts on the premises, even with solar backup12:25
vkoskiv(it's an ancient xeon workstation at my parents' house)12:25
vkoskivWe haven't negotiated the SLA terms much :D12:25

minutevkoskiv: i'm using weechat relay on one of my servers and glowing-bear.org as the frontend both on mobile and all computers12:45
grimmwarejosch: "Reminds me also of interfaces (web and native) where buttons get rendered only to change position after a second once more stuff of the ui gets rendered." I am incandescent with rage right now. It reminds me of that hot prickly feeling you get when you're already in a bad mood and then a bit of your clothing catches on a door handle and for a moment you stop to watch yourself make the13:02
grimmwaredecision as to whether you should just completely lose your shit or not.13:02
grimmwareEvery time that happens on my phone I stop for a second to gather myself so I don't yeet the thing out of the nearest closed window.13:02
grimmwarevkoskiv: also using weechat here. How long are the power outages at your parents' place? If they're only short your easiest option might just be to get a cheap UPS.13:04
vkoskivI had a cheap UPS, and then another one, but they all seemed to kill their batteries in under a year13:05
vkoskivToo expensive to maintain13:05
grimmwareah fair13:05
vkoskivSecond one was a proper Eaton box with 4 big lead-acid batteries.13:05
Boostisbetterthe thing that pisses me off about most UPS is how they don't have replaceable batteries13:05
vkoskivNo idea what it's doing with them, but they certainly don't charge anymore13:05
vkoskivEaton box has a door, and the batteries slide out13:06
BoostisbetterDo you recommend it? 13:06
grimmwareI use a VPS for my perma-online needs because it's not too expensive, preserves my privacy some and uptime has never been a problem.13:07
vkoskivGiven that it killed 4 brand new batteries in a few months, no :D13:07
vkoskivI think mine was a 9130 or similar13:07
vkoskivEaton 9130, that is. Sourced second hand in unknown condition, could be that it's just broken somehow.13:08
joschvkoskiv:you killed lead-acid batteries? how? we give those to students all the time and they have a very hard time killing those and they do fine for many years13:10
joschi though lead-acid were the reliable robust sort :D13:10
vkoskivEaton engineers and/or the unknown fault in the UPS figured out how to do it!13:12
vkoskiv*Or* it's just a broken UPS, and the batteries are fine. We did test them, though!13:12
Boostisbetterprobably the latter. Bummer either way. 13:28
joschminute: and even more code for you to read https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-system-image/-/merge_requests/8714:10
minutewow14:10
joschminute: both of the MR i sent you (for reform-debian-packages and reform-system-image) should not change the default behaviour14:10
minuteok cool14:10
joschthey just add more functionality if the user passes the right environment variable or command line options14:10
minuteah, patches are split by kernel version14:11
joschfor example, the benefit to MNT is, that you can now build linux from experimental just by changing an environment varable in the gitlab CI pipeline14:11
joschyes, that is necessary because unstable and experimental kernel patches will most likely differ14:12
joschideally, there should never be more than three directories with patches14:12
joschtwo directories if there is no experimental version14:12
joschthat way it's easier to test experimental kernels without messing with branches14:13
joschthe change to reform-system-image benefits MNT as users can now tell mkimage.sh to only build an image for the platform(s) they have14:13
joschinstead of wasting time to build for all three (or four once pocket comes out)14:14
joschscreenshot of how this looks like in the web interface can be found in... wait...14:17
joschminute: you already merged? no critique? XD14:17
minutei just pressed the button!!14:32
joschwell, if there should be bugs, i guess i'll hear of them :)14:33

joschminute: thank you!22:22
joschminute: also about your merging of my reform-debian-packages changes: you can see that pipeline #1410 failed: https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-debian-packages/-/pipelines22:23
joschso you might think "oh no, our code is broken" but behold, i clicked the "Run pipeline" button and in BASESUITE i put "testing" instead of unstable22:23
joschin contrast to unstable, testing has no multiarch version skews22:24
joschand with "testing" the pipeline run #1412 succeeded22:24
joschremember when in the past just a few weeks ago, we/you were blocked because of problems in unstable?22:24
joschyou can now just re-run things in testing if you like22:24
joschwithout changes to any commits in the main branch22:25
joschprofit! :D22:25
