Multi build

This will create a whole bunch of node-xx version docker images preloaded with the official Joplin 3.1.24 tarball. Then, we'll try to build it.

Currently, I've tested the build with node 18 19 20 21 22 and 23.

Canvas is seemingly not building on node 20+, this is to validate that theory. See: Automattic/node-canvas#2448

I'll post the results later... my laptop takes about 20 minutes per build, so see you in a few hours.

While browsing this page, How to reduce the size of your Tiddlywiki, I noticed that there were no instructions to revert back to a local copy in case of emergency. I can think of times where I might want to edit my tiddlywiki while offline but since I'm pointing to an external source, this could be a problem.

Normally, by overriding the coreURL variable inside the $:/core/save/offline-external-js ShadowTiddler you can set the external javascript file to be a remote site.

A shitty way to downgrade the packages you just upgraded

This is great in case you boot into a non-working system after an upgrade.

This recently helped me after one of my KDE packages mirror caused sddm to never display my kde desktop after I logged in. I didn't see any useful error logs in journalctl and I gave up troubleshooting.

Ty to #archlinux on libra chat for their help

Whova Calendar Dump

https://whova.com/

This is a shitty bash script to dump an ics file from a whova json agenda dump. For some reason they don't let you download a calendar file with your events. I think they might want you to download their app. Lol...

Use Youtube-DL

I'm fond of just using youtube-dl via their repo without installing it. I just use the latest commit on their main branch, called master

$ git remote -v
origin  git@github.com:ytdl-org/youtube-dl.git (fetch)
origin  git@github.com:ytdl-org/youtube-dl.git (push)
$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

Use podman-compose to run wiki.js locally

compose.yaml

The compose printed inline on wiki.js's website has some slight issues that I don't care to overlook.

Here's the one I ended up using:

version: "3"

Find your default sink monitor

giggles: sink monitor is a funny name for this concept

• The audio outputs that PulseAudio creates are called "sinks."
• "Monitors" are virtual devices that you can use to listen to the audio that will be sent to these devices (i.e. it turns a sink into a source)

# get default monitor name - you do not need to be root for this. yay!
$ pactl list sinks | grep $(pactl get-default-sink).monitor | cut -d : -f 2

Ensure that your monitor volume is at 100%
