Also, Zoom only runs via XWayland (a compatibility layer for older applications). XWayland doesn’t really support desktop scaling, which is why it looks so blurry: This is a very funny message, and not really something that’s an option for desktop users. Saying “please use a different desktop” is not really realistically applicable advise. Changing something like the desktop environment on an OS is a great recipe for disaster.Introducing Todomanhttps://whynothugo.nl/journal/2015/03/30/introducing-todoman/Mon, 30 Mar 2015 13:57:23 +0000https://whynothugo.nl/journal/2015/03/30/introducing-todoman/Inspired on memo and khal, todoman is a simple todo manager, (or task manager), designed to take note and keep track of pending tasks, that runs as a cli application on almost any Unix-like system (this includes Linux, BSD and probably other OSs from the Unix family). Todoman is MIT licensed and saves tasks as icalendar, meaning you can use a CalDav-complaiant too to sync your calendar (for example, vdirsyncer). You can also then sync this to your mobile phone, tablet, or any other device with a CalDav-compliant client.Performing backups the right wayhttps://whynothugo.nl/journal/2014/08/06/performing-backups-the-right-way/Wed, 06 Aug 2014 20:33:45 +0000https://whynothugo.nl/journal/2014/08/06/performing-backups-the-right-way/For years I’ve had a single task on my TO-DO list: backup photos. I had an awful solution years ago, and only recently did a permanent, proper solution. Doing backups the right way means taking several items into consideration, and should not be done lightly. Trusting poor backup solutions will result in a false sense of security where you might loose everything suddenly, and not even realize it until it’s too late!
