Just look at that.

I think this was (non-default) Gnome.

Vertical panel never actually worked correctly, there were always some rendering issues with the window list, but I liked that setup a lot.

And that background is one of my favorites. I have it on my current system and I was looking into ordering a printed fabric with it just couple of months ago.

The instability I've been getting with the Nvidia drivers has been quite sad. I just kept hoping the next version would show improvement.

So I switched back to using my older/slower AMD Radeon GPU, and my desktop environment is soooo stable now.

Going back meant that i lost the option for OpenCL in darktable, but I much prefer the rock solid stability, over performance gains. QGIS is more stable too.

Today in my #fedora corner:
* Looked at why so few dnf-automatic emails. Turns out @adamw patch to not send emails on no updates finally landed. Hurray!
* Helped @carlwgeorge land some epel10.1 changes to help handle upgrades between minors. (He did all the work, I just watched)
* Blocked several projects on pagure.io that crawlers really really wanted to crawl. This dramatically improved things. Probibly won't last, but nice to see load so low again.
<next toot for some datacenter move stuff>

today in #fedora qa:
* blocker herding (voting, updating statuses, requesting stable push...)
* more digging into the raid issue that won't go away - github.com/md-raid-utilities/m
* some archive digging on the old xz vs. perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma chestnut: bodhi.fedoraproject.org/update , src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/per
* looked into some failed #openqa tests, turned out to be to do with a workaround in the tests which deletes the openh264 repo, decided to stop that and see if anything breaks - pagure.io/fedora-qa/os-autoins

I'm so good at buying stuff for my #homelab and so bad at actually placing that in service. The list of stuff in waiting:

1. Backup #NAS box - waiting for OMV installation and disk transplantation from old #Synology
2. #tplink AX5400 access point - waiting for VLAN configuration on switch
3. Two small #bitcoin miners - waiting for VLAN-based VPN routing
4. New 2 TB NVME drive for my primary PC - waiting for a solid idea on how to move #Fedora from current 1 TB drive without re-installation

Great. For no reason that I can discern, bluetooth has stopped working on my laptop today (fine yesterday).

Edit: I am suspecting hardware failure, because I had problems on the windows boot too, but I don't see any helpful option in the BIOS menu for this. Will order a bluetooth dongle before making further conclusions

today in #fedora qa:
* absolutely definitely not *at all* distracted by the switch 2 announcement, nosirree
* more digging into and arguing about my mdadm blocker fix, github.com/md-raid-utilities/m
* dug into crun updates failing podman tests, turns out they need an updated podman: bodhi.fedoraproject.org/update
* a few robustness fixes for #openqa tests: pagure.io/fedora-qa/os-autoins
* merged pagure.io/fedora-qa/os-autoins though I'm a bit nervous...
* reviewed pagure.io/fedora-qa/os-autoins and deployed to stg for testing

Today in #fedora land:
* Reviewed and voted on some f43 changes at FESCo
* More poking at blocking AI scrapers. This time gathered list of all ip's that hit a 4 year old copy of the linux kernel labeled "test repo". It was 140k ips. So, dropped down to /24's with those ips and got about 61k. Blocked them all in a ipset.
Just a temp measure, but things seem much better for now at least
* Pushed some F42 stable updates for QE.
* tried to catch up on email/rss feeds/videos.
