00:56:45 × gknux quits (~gknux@user/galaxy-knuckles/x-3015990) (Ping timeout: 255 seconds)
00:56:56 escobear is now known as gknux

06:56:16 <kora9> geekosaur: I did as you suggested and tried using vanilla xmonad dual monitor switching for a while, I actually quite like it now that I know to expect the workspace swaps! While independent workspaces are quite intuitive, it can get messy when you move from single screen to dual monitor a lot (such as with a laptop). xmonad's method handles that much better
06:59:58 <kora9> geekosaur: "it's just getting harder and harder to give users a "desktop environment" without having everything tightly tied together" <- While I understand the need for that, I'm worried for the future since it seems wayland focuses so heavily on being for DE's, with so much of what made Xorg flexible slashed. It seems like it's going to be harder and harder to give users the option of having entirely customizable environments like with xmonad
07:24:13 HAL[m]1 joins (~evadk8mat@2001:470:69fc:105::3ed0)
07:48:04 <liskin> Solid: yeah, there's been a lot of sponsors cancellations recently :-(
07:48:37 <liskin> but then we aren't exactly doing much to keep people engaged :-/
07:49:00 <liskin> or making good use of the money
07:52:38 <Solid> liskin: It's definitely because of the PayPal thing
07:52:46 <Solid> I've seen other project going through the same stuff
07:56:18 <liskin> anyway, the estimate is still $600+/m
08:13:09 <Solid> I think we're making good use of the money; financing ZuriHac for example was a great thing last year (if only for mental health reasons :)
08:13:29 <Solid> If you want to see the numbers go down I can also send another invoice at some point :P

08:35:48 mc47 joins (~mc47@xmonad/TheMC47)
09:11:34 × ft quits (~ft@p3e9bc443.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) (Quit: leaving)
09:24:39 <mc47> Solid: what's the PayPal thing?
09:36:08 <Solid> mc47: GitHub Sponsors stopped accepting PayPal as a payment option
09:36:32 <Solid> So if you support anyting via PayPal, your sponsorship will be cancelled when the next donation is "due"
09:42:27 <mc47> Oh
09:42:28 <mc47> that sucks
09:43:07 <liskin> Solid: I don't insist on seeing the numbers go down, but if someone wrote a blogpost about what we're doing and how that money enables that, people might feel better about it :-)
09:43:32 <liskin> no pressure whatsoever though
09:43:51 <liskin> I'm just writing a career development plan that my employer/boss asked for
09:44:19 <liskin> item number 1 in long term career goals is to have less than 4 day work week :-D
09:44:40 <liskin> but until that's achieved, I don't think I'll get to writing such blog posts :-/
09:45:51 <Solid> :)
09:46:14 <liskin> speaking of mental health, I just returned from a 5-day holiday with the less-competitive/more-party folks of the London inline speed skating scene, and I feel like it was an instant burnout cure
09:46:57 <liskin> I think I might be going to ZuriHac after all, and I'll skate there from the airport!
09:47:08 <Solid> hah
09:47:09 <Solid> very nice
09:47:38 <liskin> dunno why I stopped doing this, it's so practical
09:48:14 <Solid> (and to be honest, I don't think I could fill an entire blog post about our activities, but then I'm not very good at that kind of stuff)
09:48:28 <liskin> most pubs let you in on skates, you can carry them on board an airplane, and so on
09:48:57 <Solid> certainly more portable than a bike :)
09:49:38 <liskin> exactly
10:46:03 × chomwitt quits (~chomwitt@2a02:587:7a18:6d00:1ac0:4dff:fedb:a3f1) (Ping timeout: 248 seconds)

15:34:16 <kora9> Can the font size for xmonad tabs view be customized?
15:35:58 <geekosaur> use something like https://github.com/geekosaur/xmonad.hs/blob/skkukuk/xmonad.hs#L289-L290
15:36:46 <kora9> geekosaur: Cool, thanks :)
15:56:24 <kora9> geekosaur: Do you have to recompile xmonad after changing the font size? Just reloading doesn't seem to work
15:56:40 <geekosaur> mod-shift-space
15:57:14 <kora9> geekosaur: what is that bound to?
15:58:44 <geekosaur> `setLayout $ layoutHook conf`, but you probably don't have `conf` in scope so `asks (layoutHook . config) >>= setLayout`
15:58:54 <geekosaur> er
15:58:58 <geekosaur> typo
15:59:30 <geekosaur> no, it's fine, my font rendering is off a bit so it looked like `>>-` here but it's `>>=`
16:00:09 × Thiago[m] quits (~thiagommm@2001:470:69fc:105::3:7da) (Quit: You have been kicked for being idle)
16:03:53 <kora9> geekosaur: Ah, nice that worked! (Why isn't it updated when xmonad is reloaded?)
16:04:02 <kora9> reloading -> that command worked
16:04:46 <geekosaur> because there are things like number of master windows, position in layout group, position of divider between master and slave panes, etc. that would be lost if we always reloaded
16:04:51 <kora9> Is it because that information is stored as part of the active layout, sort of like window positions?
16:04:57 <geekosaur> so we only reload if the type changes and we're forced to
16:04:58 <kora9> Ah, yeah
16:05:23 <geekosaur> and yes, that all is stored inside the layout as parameters to the layout constructor
16:05:32 <geekosaur> (s)
16:06:14 <kora9> That makes sense
16:06:53 <geekosaur> you can stick that incantation into the startupHook if you want to always reload it
16:08:52 <kora9> geekosaur: Yeah considering it, if there are no gotchas :)
16:12:33 <geekosaur> you could always try it and remove it if you don't like it
16:13:08 <geekosaur> it won't break anything, it might be annoying at times because you expect reload to not lose information
16:13:58 <kora9> True
16:15:39 <geekosaur> you'll also note that most of what I listed is applicable to layouts like Tall; if you're using Tabbed everywhere you may not care
16:21:15 × jabuxas quits (~jabuxas@user/jabuxas) (Quit: WeeChat 3.7.1)
16:21:37 <kora9> geekosaur: I'm using tabbed only on some workspaces, with Tall on the others (mostly because I haven't thoroughly checked out most of the other layout types yet)

16:26:38 <kora9> Is there any weather script/app that has additional information like wave height and wind speed?

16:35:53 <geekosaur> that I wouldn't know, sorry
