tell me the most ass over backward shit you do to keep your system chugging?
here’s mine:
sway struggles with my dual monitors, when my screen powers off and back on it causes sway to crash.
system service ‘switch-to-tty1.service’
[Unit]
Description=Switch to tty1 on resume
After=suspend.target
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/switch-to-tty1.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=suspend.target
‘switch-to-tty1.service’ executes ‘/usr/local/bin/switch-to-tty1.sh’ and send user to tty1
#!/bin/bash
# Switch to tty1
chvt 1
.bashrc login from tty1 then kicks user to tty2 and logs out tty1.
if [[ "$(tty)" == "/dev/tty1" ]]; then
chvt 2
logout
fi
also tty2 is blocked from keyboard inputs (Alt+Ctrl+F2) so its a somewhat secure lock-screen which on sway lock-screen aren’t great.
Not exactly mine but I’ve used it. I have a fast but data-limited internet connection and a slower unlimited connection. When I need the faster connection to do something I connect to it through wifi while staying connected to the other through Ethernet. Then use this project to bind a specific app to wifi while everything else keeps using Ethernet. It uses LD_PRELOAD to link its own version of network connect that calls the real method. There’s definitely a better way to do this with iptables but it’s a good enough patch for when needed.
