The Wolfe Pack

@fireborn when you do pull requests, can you create a different branch for each one, and only request one thing per branch? The last batch has some tangles with things that are already in master, and basically we are adding in things manually because it's easier this way. With single pulls per branch, it should make it much easier to do this in the future.

I38 is coming along quite nicely. The code has stabilized quite a bit, and I think that we are ready for more general use and feedback/bug reports.

@fireborn awesome, but please be careful, we don’t want you losing sound again. Reinstalls suck. lol

I’m still not sure why that happened in the first place. I3 itself doesn’t have anything to do with your sound setup as far as I know.

@fireborn It is on github, not lab. I have moved more towards github recently because gitlab’s accessibility has gone down hill, and you can’t read thei readme file for projects without javascript, so no w3m. Github still works decently well with w3m.

@fireborn Which mod key did you pick? If super, to switch between windows would be super+tab and super+shift+tab. Should I make it be alt+tab and alt+shift+tab no matter which mod key you choose?

@fireborn I will add the volume stuff sometime today. I’ll have to think about how to change things to not include a ratpoison mode, so I may not get to that today, but I’ll certainly keep it in mind.

I've been seeing a lot about something called Codeberg recently. Looks pretty good from the stuff I've seen on there. I haven't tried it with w3m though. You'll need to send an email to get on if you want, but anything's better than Microsoft at this point. Actually, now that I have figured out how all this reverse proxying stuff works, I can probably host a few projects using the software they're using on Codeberg. It's like a single Go package, so should be fairly easy to get up and running.

@fireborn Volume keys are in place now, as well as other music bindings. At this time, they are part of ratpoison mode, but I will add an alternative soon. For now, however, the keys are as follows:

  • alt+shift+plus: volume up
  • Alt+Shift+dash: volume down
  • Alt+Shift+z: previous track
  • Alt+Shift+x: play
  • Alt+Shift+c: pause
  • Alt+Shift+v stop
  • Alt+Shift+b: next
  • Alt+Shift+9: decrease system volume
  • Alt+shift+0: increase system volume

Never mind Codeberg, I just got my own Gitea up and running. I will ask the developers if they could implement a math captcha similar to the one on my Blog's comment form, but I'll keep the image crap turned off and deal with any bots manually until they have a solution. I know bots can get around those images easier than screen reader users can. But I have zero comment spam on my blog since I moved to Chyrp Lite and turned on the Maptcha plugin, and it is screen reader friendly. If I find that the Codeberg version works better or implements a math captcha similar to the one I have on my blog, I should have no trouble migrating to their fork. I don't know that my server will handle a sizeable number of large projects, but I certainly can take some small to medium projects. And you'll be happy to know that I have migrated a repository off Gitlab already, and I can see README.md with w3m. I find general accessibility on Gitea to be a good deal better than Gitlab as well.

The best example right now is configure-wifi, which I took right off Gitlab using Gitea's migration tool. Go to that link using w3m and you'll see the README plain as day. I think I'm gonna like this software.

@kyle that looks neat. I like sourcehut pretty well too, but this is a shared project, so it was either gitlab or github, and github is better these days. I know that sucks, because open source is always better, but they really have wrecked their accessibility, and javascript required to read a simple text file is just plain dumb.

@storm I guess I don't understand why being a shared project means that it has to be developed on either Gitlab or Microsoft Github. Codeberg takes shared projects, and the Gitea I just got running can take them as well. Self-hosted Gitea is probably the best and easiest shared repository software I've found to date, and although it is a fork of Gogs I believe it's called, it has changed quite a lot since then, and is community controlled rather than being controlled by a centralized tech giant. I will probably be taking everything I have off Gitlab and putting it on my own Gitea host. I don't have the "pages" server or anything, but I do have working repositories, ssh access for cloning and pushing commits and proper issue tracking as well. And I will not put my political or religious ideology up on my git host either, in the way Microsoft has done, as has Source Hut actually. If you're human hosting an open source project, you're welcome to host your code with me, I couldn't care less about your political or religious ideologies or affiliations, only the safety and accessibility of your free code.

@fireborn I haven't received any pull requests. If nothing else, you can wormhole it to me.

@fireborn Pull request received and merged. Thanks 😀

@fireborn We are merging the key conflict detection. I sent you a reply on github. Basically, for things that present dialogs, use yad instead of zenity. Also for short things like battery info, you could just make a key binding and speak the information with speech-dispatcher instead of using a text box.

Thanks for all the help. ☺️

@fireborn It's all good. I certainly do appreciate all the work.

@fireborn I updated the battery status script just a bit so that it doesn't rely on ls which can be different on different systems. I also did some string manipulation so it would read "Battery 0:" instead of "BAT0".

If you have time, take a look at it and tell me what you think.

@fireborn lol I was way over thinking the ratpoisonless configuration. Once I realized it would actually be simple, it took me about 10 minutes to write. Then I spent about 35 more minutes tracking down a really obvious bug in the yesno dialogs.
