I just use the built-in email function that comes with mdadm. If a drive fails, I’ll know right away and replace it with a spare. You do need your server to be able to send emails with something like postfix.

If you have hardware RAID, there’s often a monitoring tool that comes with it or at the very least a command-line utility that can report the RAID state which you can then use in a script.

Oh, you are going to love this one then if you haven’t seen it before: https://robertheaton.com/pyskywifi/

Additionally, the GUI in KDE plasma in System Settings is not entirely reliable. It sometimes makes stuff up about IPv6 rules for example. It seems to be a very light-weight wrapper over the FirewallD DBUS interface.

It’s in the announcement for Plasma 6.1, see https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.1.0/

To enable it, you need to use the Brightness & Colour widget. See also the merge request for this: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/4093

I guess the documentation is a bit lagging still! I don’t know about a list of compatible keyboards, but I suppose you can just try it out to see if it works! 😁

I managed to fit an entire Matrix Synapse server on one of those. It works surprisingly well! You will need a domain for it though.

Yes, but you have to enable the checkbox “Increase maximum volume” in the audio widget on the taskbar panel.

OpenSpades, very! It’s a popular game during these events. Hope you can join us! :)

Yeah, tricky! You might be able to do something similar to getting native messaging extensions to work on Flatpakked Firefox as described here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621763#c5

Hmm, no sorry. All I can think of is that maybe Kdenlive itself is a flatpak version in which case it wouldn’t be allowed to run external programs like Glaxnimate (or Pinta). I guess in that case it requires some magic with Flatpak overrides.

Oh, I see what you mean about the Glaxnimate Flatpak. I just tried it out.

You can get it to work, but it’s a bit of a hack. You first need to create a script containing:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/flatpak run org.mattbas.Glaxnimate $@

Let’s call it glax or something like that. Then make it executable:

chmod +x glax

Then in Kdenlive, go to Settings -> Configure Kdenlive -> Environment -> Standard Applications, change the one for editing animation to point to that script. Should work now. At least, it did for me!

And yeah, shame about the audio processing.
