#DearLazyweb

Fellow members of the Emacs Org Mode cult:

Is there a way to toggle visibility of a heading plus the entire subtree underneath it? For example, suppose I have this:

* Fish
Some text in Fish.
** A Fish subheading
Blah blah blah.
* Broccoli
Some text in Broccoli.
** A Broccoli subheading
Etc etc.
* Molybdenum
Hi.  My atomic number is 42.
** A Molybdenum subheading
Some text about the wondrous
properties of Molybdenum.

Then I run some magical function (hide-top-level-trees-matching-re ".*Broccoli.*"). Afterwards, although the buffer's text would be unmodified, I would see this...

* Fish
Some text in Fish.
** A Fish subheading
Blah blah blah.
* Molybdenum
Hi.  My atomic number is 42.
** A Molybdenum subheading
Some text about the wondrous
properties of Molybdenum.

...and searches, etc, would behave accordingly: if I did an isearch for "Broccoli", I would not find any matches, etc.

I could probably implement this using the excellent hide-lines.el package. But maybe Org Mode offers something like this already? I've been looking around the manual and elsewhere and haven't found it yet, though.

#dearlazyweb looking for a PCIe WiFi card model that works in #Debian #Linux preferable dual band, I'm looking around but before buying I want a confirmation. I've seen that Intel ones look like the way to go while other chipsets might be problematic.

#dearlazyweb i have a TKL #WASDkeyboard with cherry brown MX switches, and it's become too mushy for my taste - i tried a #nuphy air75 keyboard with some sort of red switches (not sure what those are) and it's awesome but i don't like the layout (missing scroll lock and friends), is there something like a nuphy (slim, low-travel keys, mechanical, QMK) but with a bit wider?

#dearlazyweb #linux #kernel and #sysadmin folks: anyone working on rescuing the archived raid.wiki.kernel.org wiki into something useful? perhaps something better than docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/md ?

#dearlazyweb: is anyone aware of active #ADHD parenting groups in #Amsterdam, especially English speaking groups?

#dearlazyweb i know web browsers now support "happy eyeballs" (RFC6555) which allow clients to fallback between Ipv4 and IPv6 gracefully) but how about v2 (RFC8305, which allows falling back betwen IPv4 records! rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8305.htm)

Do I know anyone that hosts a #peertube? I'm thinking of hosting one myself for <insert secret project> and even after reading the documentation I'm still not entirely sure what it does. It hosts videos but how do people find them? Does it work like Mastodon? People have home servers and they subscribe to feeds? Does the server admin decide what feeds the server shows?

Is it even a reasonable thing to host your own if you want people to actually see your videos?

#dearlazyweb: I seem to remember a group that was archiving zines. I have a box of zines from the last decade or so wondering if anyone wants to digitize them or anything.

#dearlazyweb i want my fourth mouse button to act as a "tap" instead of a "click" which, i think, means "gestures" but i'll handwave this until it magically works

#dearlazyweb wasn't there some API to automate password rotations, possibly with a password-store extension?

Dear Mastomind / Lazywebs: Is it feasible for a Web browser itself to support toggling support of video (or audio) support or codecs absent injecting JS into a page for that purpose?

My hope is that it might be possible to toggle the availability / support of common video codecs (such as: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, HEVC/H.265, VP9, and AV1), so that a browser would simply ignore an video / audio content.

I'm hearing that this is not trivially possible. If that's not the case ... I'd be quite happy.

Boosts / tagging clueful devs appreciated.

#dearlazyweb, specially #dutch lazyweb

I'm trying to understand #bike parking laws in #Netherland. We have a bakfiets. It's been really hard to park. Someone recommended parking in a car parking spot. Someone in a car told us to move so they could park. Is it legal for bikes to park in car spots or could our bike be impounded by the city if we don't comply?

i want a font or some device that explicitely does NOT support anything outside of latin-1, or even better, would mark those characters specially so i could spot homomorphic attacks easily #dearlazyweb #ktxbye

#dearlazyweb, I'm looking for #solarpunk podcasts. I've been listening to a lot of "It Could Happen Here" which is great, but I need something more hopeful.

The Revolutionary's Garden is a nice example. Whenever Andrewism is on "It Could Happen Here" it definitely feels a lot more light. What other suggestions do you have?

#dearlazyweb, does anyone have recommendations on #SolarPunk games? I'm interested in both video games (that run on Linux, especially indie games) and board games.

I'm realizing that right now I'm pretty constrained in what I can actually do. I have all kinds of cool ideas but I can't actually realize any of them because I'm just doing too much, so I'm looking for an easier outlet until I have more capacity.

Edit: oh hey! Thanks slrpnk

#dearlazyweb what do people advise their fellow novice desktop linux to use for backups? borg/restic/etc does not qualify, unless it has a solid GUI
