Think twice about Wayland. It breaks everything!

Think twice before abandoning Xorg. Wayland breaks everything!

Hence, if you are interested in existing applications to "just work" without the need for adjustments, then you may be better off avoiding Wayland.

Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need. Even the most basic, most simple things (like xkill) - in this case with no obvious replacement. And usually it stays broken, because the Wayland folks mostly seem to care about Automotive, Gnome, maybe KDE - and alienating everyone else (e.g., people using just an X11 window manager or something like GNUstep) in the process.

As 2024 is winding down:

Transmission Blocklist

The Transmission torrent client has an option to set a Blocklist, which helps protect you from getting caught and having the DMCA send a letter/email.

It's as simple as downloading and installing the latest client:

Symlinking a folder from a git submodule for use in a project

#Symlink a folder from a git submodule for use in a project

I recently came across a need to try this out on a project i was working on. So here's how to do it, incase anyone else finds themselves in the same situation.

##Set up your submodule in a seperate directory.

Run this command from your project root.

git submodule add http://example.com/repo.git ./submodules/repo
