Ich spiele mit dem Gedanken, mir so einen Ultraweiten Monitor zuzulegen. Hat jemand hier Tipps? Einsatzbereich ist vor allem ‘Textarbeit’ → Coding, Paper schreiben, etc. Ab und an ein bisschen rudimentärer Videoschnitt für meine Online-Vorlesungen. Spiele jenseits von Minesweeper spielen keine Rolle. Abendfüllend Filme/Videos gucken ist auch nicht geplant. Dafür habe ich noch einen Fernseher. Bildbearbeitung/Grafik mache ich auch nicht wirklich. Wichtig ist mir, dass ich damit ermüdungsarm über längere Zeiträume arbeiten kann. Ergonomie - sowohl in Sachen Augen als auch Nacken sind mir wichtig. Lange Haltbarkeit wäre natürlich auch super und stromsparend auch nicht verkehrt.

Ich arbeite aktuell vor allem mit #opensuse und #kde #plasma. Ich bin auch an Workflow-Tipps interessiert. Aktuell verwende ich einen 24"-Monitor. Das interne Display meines #Thinkpad #t440p ist deaktiviert. Multi-Monitor-Setups habe ich immer mal wieder versucht, bin aber damit nie wirklich warm geworden.

Also Tipps/Empfehlung sowohl für Monitore, Erfahrungsberichte, Workflow-Tipps, Hinweise worauf man achten soll und auch Meinungsbeiträge bzgl. Monitor-Setups sind gerne gesehen. :)

Des machines pouvant mettre en danger les donneurs de plasma et plaquettes de nouveau autorisées ?

Une enquête menée par Basta ! et la Cellule investigation de Radio France en 2019 avait révélé les dangers des machines de prélèvement de plasma et plaquettes fabriquées par la société Haemonetics. En 2020, dans le cadre d'un consortium international de journaux, nous publiions les résultats d’une nouvelle enquête baptisée #PlasmaFiles, basée sur de nombreux documents confidentiels. Un temps suspendues en France, ces machines viennent pourtant d’être ré-autorisées. https://www.bastamag.net/Plasma-files-ANSM-des-machines-mettant-en-danger-des-donneurs-de-plasma-de-nouveau-autorisees

Pytivity by Quentin Dawans: manage Plasma Activities from command line and some automation

The cool part of sharing your knowledge is that often others pop up and improve what you shared. Time ago Quentin linked me his tool to manage Plasma Activities from command line. It’s a tool written in Python, so it’s named Pytivity and you can get it from GitHub.

With Pytivity you can create, edit, delete, start, stop and activate Activities. But the true power of this tool relies on a feature of Activities that is still not exposed in the graphical user interface: placing scripts and *.desktop launchers in some particular hidden folders you will be able to define which apps or scripts will be executed when you start, stop, activate or deactivate an Activity.

Pytivity simply exposes it as command line interface, the syntax to create an Activity and set Dolphin to open when you activate the Activity is the following:

pytivity create --started dolphin MyNewActivity

My main use case is to start/stop software and restart them if needed when I come back to the activity, like a browser, mail client or a project in pycharm. I also use it to open tabs in Yakuake and execute some shell commands (ssh, change directory, activate python env, …).

Quentin Dawans, developer of Pytivity

The use cases are not limited to starting apps, you could use it to start/stop services. If like me you use Docker you will appreciate how setting an Activity to start/stop Docker is easy:

pytivity create --started "systemctl start docker" --stopped "systemctl stop docker" ActivityName

You could also set an Activity to start Docker and run a container from KDE Neon to have a Plasma desktop from git-stable or git-unstable repos confined in an Activity.

Another use case is starting Kontact with an Activity and close it killing Akonadi (that uses a lot of my 2GB of RAM also when Kontact is not running anymore) when you stop the Activity.

I imagine that it could be used also with kwriteconfig, that is a tool to edit apps settings, to change the preferences of an app before starting it. I would appreciate if will be possible to change system color scheme from command line but at the moment it seems impossible from kwriteconfig. Also, some apps, especially command line apps, often let you define the path of config file. With Pytivity you could specifying a different config file according to the running Activity.

Now you have another article you can link to those users that every time they read about Plasma Activities replies “Activities are useless”, “I can’t get what are the advantages of Activities” and “what’s the difference between Activities and virtual desktops?”. To the last question you can also reply: “virtual desktops are a way to manage windows, Activities are a way to manage tasks and related apps, services and configurations“.

Be sure to don’t miss the future realease of Plasma Vault by Ivan, the developer of Activities: it will let you encrypt and decrypt specific folders when you start/stop Activities. You can easily imagine it combined with an encrypted Firefox profile.

**Meta:* I updated my blog with some UX improvements, like categories/tags filter options in the sidebar to let you quickly find contents you are interested in. I also added a “subscribe” button that appear when you are visiting a category, a tag or a combination of them; that button will generate the RSS feed for the category/tag you selected. This because I will post on my blog stuff not strictly related to KDE. The post that are displayed in Planet KDE are the one from “Blog posts” category (that is the category that gather all the stuff in English) tagged as “For Planet KDE”.*

I’m also experimenting a way to link blog articles to related Diaspora posts. You should see a button below to see comments on Diaspora. Sadly because of the decentralized nature of Diaspora, you need to be registered to my same pod to comment using the link I provide with the article. Alternatively you have to find me on Diaspora from your pod to add a comment.
