  • I think Duolingo is a great place to start learning. I recommend joining a course, which has helped me immeasurably more than Duolingo with learning Swedish. Interacting with a native speaker (or someone closer to that level) is a great way to develop the skill, as they will be able to pick up what you are struggling with. Getting engaged in some video content is also nice, but I guess what would be good for you greatly depends on your interests and current skill level.

    There are plenty of resources that help new speakers. I think a great start would be to search for keywords like ‘eenvoudige taal’ (easy/simple language), ‘nederlands voor kinderen’ (Dutch for children), and the like. I think it’s great learning language from stuff that is meant for (Dutch) children, like https://www.dutchforchildren.nl/gratis-nederlands-lesmateriaal/.

    An example of ‘eenvoudige taal’, weekly Dutch news: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO72qiQ-gJuFzpCgQcsdd4lkulqeeBMC3

    When you’re at about A2-level (and live in NL) you might like to try something like this: https://iwcn.nl/work/my-local-friend/. It’s an organization that connects native speakers with non-native speakers to hone the Dutch of the non-native speaker in a way that works best for them.

    Dutch people will often switch to English as soon as you start struggling/they hear something out of place/etc., a nice trick to keep things in Dutch is by saying: “Ik spreek geen Engels” (“I don’t speak English”, who cares if it’s a lie!)


  • Personally, I never do it. I like to invest quite a bit into a world. The idea of having that being taken away because I do something silly feels awful.

    To each their own of course. I can imagine it gives it that more of a thrill.

    Could be a good idea for you to determine why you would want a hardcore world and what you’d feel if that ends.






  • I use a gaming-mode for that. Like this:

    # Create a gaming mode
    mode "gaming" {
        # switch to workspace
        bindsym $mod+1 workspace number $ws1 ; mode "default"
        bindsym $mod+2 workspace number $ws2 ; mode "default"
        bindsym $mod+3 workspace number $ws3 ; mode "default"
        bindsym $mod+4 workspace number $ws4 ; mode "default"
        bindsym $mod+5 workspace number $ws5 ; mode "default"
        bindsym $mod+6 workspace number $ws6 ; mode "default"
        bindsym $mod+7 workspace number $ws7 ; mode "default"
        bindsym $mod+8 workspace number $ws8 ; mode "default"
        bindsym $mod+9 workspace number $ws9 ; mode "default"
    
        # move focused container to workspace
        bindsym $mod+Shift+1 move container to workspace number $ws1
        bindsym $mod+Shift+2 move container to workspace number $ws2
        bindsym $mod+Shift+3 move container to workspace number $ws3
        bindsym $mod+Shift+4 move container to workspace number $ws4
        bindsym $mod+Shift+5 move container to workspace number $ws5
        bindsym $mod+Shift+6 move container to workspace number $ws6
        bindsym $mod+Shift+7 move container to workspace number $ws7
        bindsym $mod+Shift+8 move container to workspace number $ws8
        bindsym $mod+Shift+9 move container to workspace number $ws9
        bindsym $mod+Shift+0 move container to workspace number $ws10
    }
    
    # Enter the gaming mode when a game is started
    for_window [class="^steam_app_"] move to workspace $ws10; workspace $ws10; mode "gaming"
    for_window [class="^hl2_linux"] move to workspace $ws10; workspace $ws10; mode "gaming"
    

    This automatically moves (most) games to workspaces 10 and switches to that workspace. This allows me to use key combinations that would otherwise be used by i3.





  • I think self-hosted cloud is a vague statement, but I think with your network infrastructure you will be limited in what you can do. I think cloudflare tunnel could be a good option for getting the device available online.

    Then the self-hosted part. There are so many things you can look into. You can run everything in Docker, install the software you want directly on your laptop, and much more.

    You’ll likely also need a reverse proxy. Can use nginx proxy manager, traefik, or something similar for that.

    What are your goals with the self-hosted cloud? That would help you in making it easy to find resources and others here to give you advice.

    Edit: typo’s





  • It’s very difficult for me to work through these logs as they are missing new lines.

    But there is plenty of stuff giving errors:

    Aug 20 14:07:08 blackcloud gnome-session-binary[635]: Unrecoverable failure in required component org.gnome.Shell.desktop

    Aug 20 14:07:08 blackcloud org.gnome.Shell.desktop[646]: Failed to setup: No GPUs found

    You might want to try (in no specific order) to check why xwayland is failing, reinstall gnome, clean up old configuration, do a system upgrade, try pacdiff.
