    Need a Simple Reminder App? Try Reminders for Linux

    [10:21] schestowitz[TR]

    Reminders is a simple, straightforward GTK4/libadwaita app that lets you schedule reminders for any task you want, and be notified of them using native desktop notifications. Basically, this app lets you set reminders as notifications.

    A Neovim Task Runner in 30 lines of Lua
    [11:07] schestowitz[TR]
    [11:07] schestowitz[TR]

    I like how easy it is to configure neovim. Last month I wanted a task runner for a very particular use-case that none of the available plugins handled. So I wrote my own.

    Meta to cut 10,000 more jobs, eliminate 5,000 openings
    [15:08] schestowitz[TR]
    [15:08] schestowitz[TR]

    Why it matters: It's the second round of layoffs to hit the tech giant in the past few months. In November, Meta cut 13% of its staff or more than 11,000 people.

  • Adding auto-installation support to D-Installer

    AutoYaST is a crucial tool for our users, including customers and partners. So it was clear from the [16:53] schestowitz[TR] beginning that D-Installer should be able to install a system in an unattended manner.

    [16:53] schestowitz[TR]

    This article describes the status of this feature and gives some hints about our plans. But we want [16:53] schestowitz[TR] to emphasize that nothing is set in stone (yet), so constructive comments and suggestions are more [16:53] schestowitz[TR] than welcome.

    [16:53] schestowitz[TR]
    The architecture
    [16:53] schestowitz[TR]

    When we started to build D-Installer, one of our design goals was to keep a clear separation of [16:53] schestowitz[TR] concerns between all the components. For that reason, the core of D-Installer is a D-Bus service [16:53] schestowitz[TR] that is not coupled to any user interface. The web UI connects to that interface to get/set the [16:53] schestowitz[TR] configuration settings.
