What is the supposed workflow for vanilla Gnome for keyboard users?
Question is in the title: What is the supposed workflow for vanilla Gnome for keyboard users?
Is there any video/design documents which explain, how the workflow is supposed to be?
Assume, I have a full screen web browser on workspace 1. Now I want to have a terminal... I hit the super-key, type terminal, hit enter ... and then I have a terminal which does not start maximized on workspace 1, so I can either maximize the terminal and switch between the applications, arrange them side by side... or I can navigate to workspace 2, start the terminal there (the terminal will not start maximized again on an empty workspace 2) ... and switch between the two workspaces (AFAIK there are no hotkeys specified by default to navigate directly to a workspace)...
What I simply do not understand: Does the vanilla Gnome workflow expect you to use mouse and keyboard? Like hit super, use mouse to go to next workspace, type terminal, click to maximize terminal (or use super-up)?
It just seems like a lot of work/clicks/keys to achieve something simple. And to my understanding Gnome expects you to use basically every application with a full screen window anyway, so why does it not open a new application on the next free workspace full screen by default?
Keyboard -> Keyboard shortcuts from Settings will show all the available keyboard shortcuts. You can also create your own custom keybindings
These seem like a lot of personal design complaints rather than actual issues with GNOME itself.
And to my understanding Gnome expects you to use basically every application with a full screen window anyway
You misunderstood, that's not what GNOME expects at all. Your app not maximizing on startup is because the app doesn't maximize on startup. GNOME doesn't have a setting to maximize all apps by default since that should be the app's responsibility.
If you want the auto-tiling window manager experience, you'll need to install an extension (Paperwm, tiling shell, Forge, Pop shell). Extensions are like applications, there's no shame in using them.

Bill in US Congress would give Israel access to B‑2 stealth bombers
U.S. Congress members from both sides of the aisle have introduced a bill in the House of Representatives that would grant President Donald Trump the authority to allow Israel access to B‑2 stealth bombers and bunker‑busting bombs if it becomes clear that Iran is continuing to develop nuclear weapons.
According to the proposed legislation—currently awaiting approval—this would enable unprecedented operational cooperation, including deployment, equipment and training, but without transferring permanent ownership or direct control to Israel.
Bill in US Congress would give Israel access to B‑2 stealth bombers
Under bill submitted to the US House of Representatives, Trump would be allowed to authorize Israel to use B-2 bombers and bunker-busting bombs if it is determined that Iran continues to develop nuclear weaponsDaniel Edelson, New York (ynetnews)
I imagine this so Israel can continue attacking Iran and the US can distance themselves from the political fallout, while still reaping the 'benefit' of Iran's military capabilities being damaged.
Gotta wonder when Russia and China will decide to be more open in this new cold war and hand larger weapons to Iran.
Russia seems to be actively colluding with Israel as it refuses to sell any anti-air defense systems and fighter jets to Iran. Whereas Russia is happily selling to India and Turkey.
Not sure what is happening with China. The Iranian defense minister went to China after their war with Israel was over

Hebron locals denounce sheikhs' plan to declare independence and recognise Israel
Palestinian residents of the occupied West Bank city of Hebron have disavowed a proposal by five purported local "sheikhs" to sever ties with the Palestinian Authority (PA) and establish an "emirate of Hebron" which would recognise the state of Israel.
Hebron-based activist and journalist Issa Amro said that the proposal and its authors are "complete fabrications". "The so-called 'Hebron sheikhs' in this WSJ piece are complete fabrications - anonymous figures with zero political presence, social standing, family ties and community recognition," he told Middle East Eye.
"No media, no clans, no Palestinian factions acknowledge them because they simply don't exist as consequential actors. This isn't journalism - it's inventing Palestinian 'leaders' to fit an artificial narrative while real Hebronites endure occupation," he added.

Ibiza’s ambulance service risks collapse due to callouts to clubs, says union
The ambulance service on the Spanish island of Ibiza says it is at risk of collapse because of frequent callouts to attend to clubbers having bad experiences with recreational drugs.
The local ambulance union says up to a third of emergency calls are to clubs, the largest of which has a capacity of as many as 10,000 partygoers, and are largely drug-related. It is calling on club owners to contract private ambulance services.
“It’s inconceivable that businesses with an income of millions of euros a year can’t provide this service which is saturating the emergency services at the expense of the local population,” the president of the local health services union, José Manuel Maroto, told elDiario.es.

Israel's war on Gaza has exposed 'deep divide' within Brics, experts say
As one of the core members of Brics, Delhi has been foundational to the development of the collective.
It has also leveraged its decade-old position in the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and now Brics, as well as its proximity to western powers through its growing economy, to stake a claim as a leader of the Global South and an interlocutor with the West.
But under Modi, India has increasingly moved closer to the US, with observers noting that Delhi has sought to clarify that it sees Brics as an economic rather than a geopolitical project.
Delhi has also been seen as insistent on both slowing the expansion of Brics as a means to halt Chinese influence over new members already within its sphere of influence and, therefore, temper what is being interpreted as a group geared to take on western hegemony.
Whereas there has been significant talk of Brics launching its own currency to replace the US dollar, India has shown it has no interest in doing so, opting instead to champion trade among Brics members via their national currencies.
India has also sent weapons to Israel for its war on Gaza, including combat drones and AI weapons, construction workers to replace Palestinian workers, and has refused to endorse an arms embargo on Israel.
Delhi's role has even prompted some observers to advise Washington to consider the Brics as a partner instead of an adversary.
"For some countries, notably South Africa, Brics is also seen as a critical foreign policy component in advancing its ‘South-South’ agenda, which aims to develop deeper bilateral relations with countries from the Global South based on common values and shared historical experiences," Singh adds.
But Singh acknowledges that this agenda has struggled to take shape, by his estimate, because of the inclusion of new initiatives that have detracted from what he describes as the core effort of refining a common agenda towards tackling the international governance system and international financial institutions.

Anyone have the experience registering a domain name with false personal information?

Anyone have the experience registering a domain name with false personal information?
I'm trying to register one but all provider asks for name and address. Anyone have the experience providing false information? Do they really care enough to check your info manually if you don't use your domain name for malicious purposes?
particularly interested in experiences with cloudflare
thanks a lot
EDIT:
reddit.com/r/Domains/comments/…
The issue with using fake details is that you risk getting your account suspended. Also, if your domain gets stolen you've made it impossible to retrieve because you will have to verify your information.
How can a domain get stolen?
Usually, the company you bought the domain from sends a e-mail once a year to ask you to verify the WHOIS information is correct.
It doesn't go any further than that if your just hosting nextcloud, a DNS, a blog.
If the website is used to break the law, then that email is contacted, if the email is non respondant, the email provider is asked for IP adress at the time of the last connection, if ISP: you get contacted, if VPN provider: IP at plan subscription or last connection etc. until they can reach an ISP. Then you get contacted.
What are your summer league overreactions/thoughts?
Summer league is still getting started and I'm curious what y'all are thinking so far.
I haven't watched every game but I have some thoughts myself. I thought Tim Connelly was crazy for drafting another French center but I understand it now, Joan getting 7 blocks in his first game has convinced me that he can replace (and possibly exceed) Gobert in the future. Dilly, TSJ, and Clark were exciting too, the wolves' young core is looking nice especially on defense.
I had higher hopes for pistons' 2nd round pic Chaz Lanier, I'm hoping he gets some better catch-and-shoot looks going forward but those aren't as common in summer league. Ron Holland on the other hand might as well have been LebRon Holland. 28pts 11reb 3stl 4/5 3pt is impressive, especially the improved shooting, I hope it's not a fluke.
Speaking of fluke, all eyes have been on Cooper Flagg and Bronny James. We'll see in a couple hours if Coop can have a better game today, 5/21 from the field is rough though. Bronny was playing lockdown defense too which seems to be his new identity, we'll see if he can keep this up, he could be a rotational player going forward.
Anyways would love to hear what other people are thinking and feeling so far!
[Guide] How to install Home Assistant on Truenas Scale 25.04. With the new Incus virtualization
I struggled quite a while to install HomeAssistant on the new Truenas Scale Incus system because there are no good guides for it. So here is one.
::: spoiler 💾 STEP 1: Create a ZVOL
I gave mine 50GB. Minimum needed is 32GB.
Scroll down and save.
:::
::: spoiler 🛜 STEP 2: Create a network bridge
This step can be skipped if you already have a bridge with DHCP enabled.
I struggled a bit with this and eventually did it on the physical Truenas PC instead of the web interface because trying to enable DHCP kept crashing my webUI and resetting the connection. This is probably the worst documented part of this tutorial and you might need to look this up elsewhere. Make your default ethernet connection part of this bridge.
:::
::: spoiler 🔻 STEP 3: Write HomeAssistant image to Zvol
*Optionally: change link in upcoming bash command with latest KVM (.qcow2) from home-assistant.io/installation…
Open shell
Download the VM image in the shell and unzip it:
cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/releases/download/15.2/haos_ova-15.2.qcow2.xz
unxz haos_ova-15.2.qcow2.xzNow write the VM image to the Zvol you made above. Keep in mind that the zvol is in /dev for some reason, not in /mnt
sudo qemu-img convert -p -O raw haos_ova-15.2.qcow2 /dev/zvol/NAS/HomeAssistant:::
::: spoiler 📁 STEP 4: Import the ZVOL to Incus
- In TrueNAS UI: Instances → Configuration
- Enable Instances
- Set Default Pool: (pool where zvol was saved. NAS for me.)
- Network Interface: Automatic (bridged) or your LAN bridge
- Save
- In top right click Create Instance
- Name "HomeAssistant" (Or what you want to name it)
- Virtualization method: click VM instead of container
- Upload ISO -> select Volume
- Popup menu: Import Zvols
- Browse the file tree and find your ZVOL. Select 'move' option. Then click Import.
- Now "select volume" popup should have the volume selectable. Select it.
:::
::: spoiler 🎌 STEP 5: Finish the VM settings and run it
- CPU configuration: 2 or 3 (or however many cores you want to give the VM)
- Memory size: 4GB (Min1GB. Can be set lower or higher. Can always be adjusted later)
- Root disk size: Same as volume size the ZVOL had (50GB for me)
- scroll down, Network: untick default network. Select the 'Bridged NIC' option.
- USB devices: If you have a Zigbee stick or HA Skyconnect, tick it.
- Create.
After a few minutes you should be able to find the HomeAssistant VM in your router's dhcp list. Go to that IP but write :8123 at the end. For me it is 192.168.0.150:8123.
If it doesn't show up, consider checking the serial console button of the VM and see if it has any output after restarting it. It can take around 15 seconds for text to show up.

Linux gave me a brand new laptop
I bought a Lenovo laptop, one from the the bargain bin, 11th gen Intel and 8gb soldered RAM
Even if I reinstalled Windows to make sure all the bloatware was removed, it was almost unusable. At boot I was left with only 800mb free memory, and "Lenovo vantage" kept reappearing automatically like malware. (It's a useless electron app that wastes half a gig of ram to show you on screen when you press caps lock, check driver updates and try to upsell you on extended warranty)
At idle the machine was as loud as a jet, with crystal disk mark always complaining "the nvme drive is over 65°C!!" (I'm guessing from the constant swapping)
Battery life was a disaster, 2 hours at idle with no foreground apps open
I thought that it was the CPU too slow for my use and the RAM not enough, so I was planning to spend some hundreds of euro to buy a new laptop with at least 16gb of RAM.
Then I installed cachyos and because I'm masochist I chose hyprland at the "easy" install screen that asks you which of the 19 available DE you prefer.
After a week of suffering trying to understand all the text configuration files for everything (it was a shock, everything needs the terminal) I'm now getting used to it and... It's like I got a brand new laptop??!?
Memory: clean boot now obviously is reversed situation. I don't have only 800mb of free RAM, the whole system uses only 800mb
Temperatures: by default cachyos is set to show the CPU temperature on waybar, and it's always around 40-45° C. The fan is way quieter. At idle they can even stop, before they were like a hair dryer even after a clean boot
Battery life: astounding. I can't believe that I can use it for a whole afternoon. Accidentally fell asleep and when I came back after two hours it lost only 10% (on idle, screen turn off automatically)
Gaming performance: tried only with casual games but with something like tinytopia I get 60fps on ultra when on windows it was choppy on high

On a more serious not, most people skim the headline, read "three times" and think
"Wow! There's some work to do!" instead of
"Twelve times!? Then Russia is winning. Wait, Russia is winning?

There's no way Ukraine can win with one bullet versus twelve.
