  • This week in KDE: time for the new features

    Jump

  • I dream of old features: window tabbing, wallpaper-per desktop, oxygen Qt style, even not-that-old things like Latte dock and Parachute.

    But anyway I love Plasma and really need to switch distro to get newer releases so I can even tell if the bugs I experience are still relevant.

  • I'm not claiming all anime fans are anything in particular. I'm saying I don't know what all the things mean, and thought that "waifu" might mean sex-with-pillow-child stuff. It probably doesn't mean that, but people like me who know nothing about it might make that same mistake, which could explain some downvotes, which was my aim.

  • Please i need a waifu wallpaper

    Jump

  • I didn't downvote, but for those of us outside this world, we might misunderstand this as:

    I want to have regular sex with a pillow made to look like a child, and I want all you internet strangers to:

    • imagine me doing this,
    • help me do this, and
    • don't act like it's weird or personal or inappropriate

    I know that I don't know what I'm talking about, and would just ignore a post like this, but since you wonder at any downvotes, my sample misunderstanding may explain some of them.

    Jump

  • I meant to communicate that the Redirector addon uses the given pattern to see if the entire URL string matches, not part of it. So the malicious URL does not match.

    I'm wondering if there's a real URL for which the Redirector approach will not work.

  • I'm not trying to be combative, I'm trying to understand. I'd like to see the failure in action so I can appreciate and pursue the proposed solution.

    But when I added the community bit to the first URL, the browser resolved it and stripped the credentials, so the resulting URL matched. But the example credentials weren't real so it's not a great test; if there's an real example I can test, please share it. Though I don't see why I'd auth to an instance just to view it from a different instance.

    When I added the community bit to the second URL, it was not a match, as it shouldn't be. The pattern must match the entire URL.

  • HtTpS://user:pw@lemdro.id:443 is a valid url to lemdro.id and should match but will not

    Well that one:

    • technically shouldn't match, because it's not a community URL
    • is not the form I expect and want to be using for this case
    • may actually work (if it were a real community link, which again, it's not), because after authentication I think the browser strips the credentials

    Http://maliciouswebsite.to/?q=http://lemdro.id will match but should not

    No, it does not match.

    AFAICT, this solution is working properly, but if you can find a URL that breaks it, please let me know.

  • I just posted this on the post you linked, but yeah I am hardcoding a list of instances into my solution. Here's my comment, copied:

    I'm using the Firefox addon Redirector, and one of my rules there redirects community links using regex. I keep adding to the pattern as I encounter more instances. Currently it's:

     
        
Pattern: https://(lemdro\.id|lemmy\.run|beehaw\.org|lemmy\.ml|sh\.itjust\.works|lemmy\.fmhy\.ml|lemmy\.dbzer0\.com|lemmy\.world|sopuli\.xyz|lemmy\.kde\.social|lemmygrad\.ml|mander\.xyz|lemmy\.ca|zerobytes\.monster)/c/(.*)

  • Thanks again for posting your improvements! I will have them!

    The idea here, checking for newline characters rather than counting lines, is to prevent it treating one line that is so long it wraps to the next as counting as a multiline input, right? So now I'm looking like

    EDIT: lemmy is at least mangling ampersands here. Hard to believe it doesn't have proper code blocks yet...

.zle_accept-except-multiline () {
  if [[ $BUFFER != *$'\n'* ]] {
    zle accept-line
    return
  } else {
    zle self-insert-unmeta
    if [[ $BUFFER == *$'\n'*$'\n'* ]] {
      local hint="# Use alt+enter to submit this multiline input"
      if [[ $BUFFER != *${hint}* ]] {
        LBUFFER+=$hint
        zle self-insert-unmeta
      }
    }
  }
}
zle -N .zle_accept-except-multiline
bindkey '^M' .zle_accept-except-multiline  # Enter

# -- Run input if multiline, otherwise insert newline --
# Key: alt+enter
# Credit: https://programming.dev/comment/2479198
.zle_accept_only_multiline () {
  if [[ $BUFFER == *$'\n'* ]] {
    zle accept-line
  } else {
    zle self-insert-unmeta
  }
}
zle -N .zle_accept_only_multiline
bindkey '^[^M' .zle_accept_only_multiline  # Enter

    For pushing the line/multiline, I combine it with my clear function (ctrl+l):

     
        
# -- Refresh prompt, rerunning any hooks --
# Credit: romkatv/z4h
.zle_redraw-prompt () {
  for 1 ( chpwd $chpwd_functions precmd $precmd_functions ) {
    if (( $+functions[$1] ))  $1 &>/dev/null
  }
  zle .reset-prompt
  zle -R
}

# -- Better Screen Clearing --
# Clear line and redraw prompt, restore line at next prompt
# Key: ctrl+l
# Depends: .zle_redraw-prompt
.zle_push-line-and-clear () { zle push-input; zle clear-screen; .zle_redraw-prompt }
zle -N       .zle_push-line-and-clear
bindkey '^L' .zle_push-line-and-clear  # ctrl+l

  • PSA: As is commonly recommended, watch the director's cut if you can, especially if it's your first time. The main difference is that the regular release has a voice over in the beginning explaining a lot (too much).

  • [solved] Any multiline zsh compatible shells? [zsh config]

    Jump

  • I started using this, it makes a lot of sense and I like it, thanks!

    I can imagine myself forgetting how to accept multiline input with alt+enter, so I added a help message to _zle_ml_enter in the multiline case after the second line. It assumes setopt interactivecomments is already set:

    EDIT: note that lemmy mangles the less-than symbol

  • The Strong Towns Movement is Simply Right-Libertarianism Dressed in Progressive Garb

    Jump

  • I think that title's unfair, and that the approaches advocated by Strong Towns are probably closer to small-government Georgism, or Georgist municipalism.

    The fact that the folks behind it identify as conservative is indeed a reason to, well, stay sharp and skeptical, but I think their flavor of conservatism is actually in direct conflict with most Americans who identify as such. Sort of like these folks actually believe what's commonly used as distracting rhetoric.

    Then again, I'm probably outside the main demographic of this community, I'm critical of big centralized power, and I'm a fan of both urbanism and land value taxation, so I get it if you judge that I've been had here.
