 wux@numenor:~$ suod pat-get insntkl pythin
bash: suod: command not found
wux@numenor:~$ fukc

Dark Reader (extension for Chrome)
This extension inverts brightness of web pages and aims to reduce eyestrain while browsing the web.

Definitely a must have, you can tune the contrast, greyscale and even sepia. I don't use it on youtube (lag).

[wuxmedia]

nice, good for early morning sessions.
for youtube, there was a stylesheet thing, had to install 'stylish' to make it black.
although doesn't seem to work now. :(

^ Have you tried "Turn off the lights"?

Dillo 3.0.5 released:

http://hg.dillo.org/dillo/raw-file/3.0.5/ChangeLog

[ivanovnegro]

A new "lightweight" DE is out, Lumina, from the PC-BSD guys.

http://lumina-desktop.org/get-lumina/#debian-testing

Installable on Debian Stable and on Testing/sid.

From the Lumina webpage:

It has been written from scratch in C++/Qt5 and is not based on any existing desktop’s code-base. It also does not use any of the Linux-based desktop frameworks (ConsoleKit, PolicyKit, D-Bus, systemd, etc..), instead using a simple built-in interface layer for communicating directly with the operating system (which is the only class specific to the operating system – making it simple to port/customize).

Systemd and friends not needed.

Edit: I think the the WM is Fluxbox.

[GekkoP]

^ Reminds me of KDE.

[ivanovnegro]

It sure looks like all the Qt desktops, this one resembles LXQt or Qt on top of Fluxbox.

New release of apt that I am sure all the sid users already have installed:

https://mvogt.wordpress.com/2015/11/30/ ... -released/

One of the nicest new features is:

Code: Select all

apt install local-file.deb

[GekkoP]

^ Cool, no more dpkg -i then!

[simgin]

That is sweet :D

[ivanovnegro]

^ Cool, no more dpkg -i then!

Hm, that is what I thought but it did not work here with a deb file I downloaded. Not sure if I understood it right or made some mistake.

[franksinistra]

^ It didn't work for me too

[machinebacon]

It works, you have to use the full path for the local file (/home/user/Downloads/your.deb)
The bug report for the regression says

Administrators doing "apt-get install /home/<...>.deb" should know what they are doing.

Of course I didn't know what I was doing, too ;)

[franksinistra]

^ ahhhh i see. Thanks for the tip!

[arnold]

Ha. I don't think I'll ever remember that one, too used to dpkg -i

[rhowaldt]

curious: is there any good reasoning as to why they'd make it so you'd have to use the full path? because i dont really get why that would be so important.

[machinebacon]

rho, because you can use apt on local repositories, too (via sources.list), or on local networks, so the path is needed to tell apt that you want to install a local package, not a file from a (local or remote) repository (of which the priorities would again be managed by apt's PinPriority entry in /etc/apt/preferences) . I guess the / in front of the filename tells APT to extract the local file.

[rhowaldt]

aaah okay i see, thanks, makes sense :)
