This Week in Plasma: spoooooky ooooooooom notifications!

In this episode: We moved! And we added a useful service to detect out-of-memory (OOM) conditions, did some UI polishing, and also a lot of bug-fixing!

This week in Plasma: moved to KDE infrastructure!

I've set up a phone with Rethink DNS as a permanent VPN, so nothing can come through, I tried putting KDE Connect in the Bypass Universal list, but it still fails to discover devices on the network and in turn it can't be discovered by others itself.
I tried without VPN active and it all works, of course. Is it possible for the 2 to coexist? If so, what settings should I change?

Why was this shared only on reddit?

Non-goals

Does not have to support the runtime installation of kernel modules. This will prevent the out-of-the-box installation of, for example:

• Proprietary NVIDIA kernel driver (NVIDIA GPUs must either be new enough to use the open-source kernel modules that can be distributed in-tree, or else use Nouveau)
• VirtualBox (requires out-of-tree modules; QEMU/KVM probably do a better job anyway)
• Vendor-specific VPNs that require custom out-of-tree kernel modules that cannot be redistributed with the kernel due to license incompatibility

Does not have to support the use case of developing low-level system components like the kernel, drivers, systemd, etc., as this can be troublesome with an immutable base OS.

Does this part mean there will also be no support for ZFS?

I just wanted to define the middle mouse button to insert clipboards content - but then I mentioned that #KDE already did that for me! 😀

What a (certainly widely known) gamechanger! 😍

And by the way: What a great #distribution KDE is day by day! 🥰

I want to change brightness based on which window is running, if its an IDE in dark mode increase, if it is a browser window decrease. The command itself is fairly easy to run even on wayland

qdbus local.org_kde_powerdevil /org/kde/Solid/PowerManagement/Actions/BrightnessControl setBrightness 5000   
qdbus local.org_kde_powerdevil /org/kde/Solid/PowerManagement/Actions/BrightnessControl setBrightness 10000   

how can I do it on a per app/window basis?

I want to find a good note taking app that is cross platform between my android phone (pixel 6a) and my laptop (tuxedo os). Bonus points if it is also on quest, but obviously I don't expect that. Ideally I would want a good open source one and I'd like the ability to use it for either making regular notes or for writing onto an image (I have okular, but I do find that functionality more usable in a notes app). I'd like to hear which ones y'all use and why. Off-topic software recommendations are also welcome bc y'all always recommend cool shit.

I decided to draw Konqi, Katie and a few others in one pic. Thoughts? [I need feedback lol]

It's an app for translating and speaking text using Mozhi.

We've added automatic selection for the fastest instance and fixed some bugs.

My next plan is to port it to Qt6. I try to get to it during my winter vacation. I'm just currently focused on a FOSS life simulation game. If anyone wants to help with the migration, PRs are welcome!

Works both on desktops and mobile Linux. Here is a screenshot of the app running on my PinePhone Pro:

I did a KDE themed plate

Back & Front at https://drive.proton.me/urls/K5ANGQHYDC#NHwY3Nn5m3ta [Yes I drew on the back too]

they're apparently going to get cleaned up as they get heated and glazed, the colours are also apparently supposed to get MUCH darker when we get them in a week!

[I will post the results after a week in this same thread coz I dont wanna flood the lemmy with plates]

Last visit to campus was very productive. Managed to perform server upgradation for wiki.fosscell.org . hopefully this solves the latency issues while editing.

Is there any way to make the touchpad orientation follow the screen orientation on Plasma 6 under Wayland? I have a laptop, and sometimes i use it on portrait mode and i'd like the trackpad to mimic the creen orientation for ease of use.
I'm on Fedora 40 KDE spin.
