Hi, for some reason, tint2 keeps crashing at random. The only thing that seems to consistently crash it is by disconnecting a Bluetooth device. Checking coredumpctl, it says there is a SIGSEGV error. Any ideas how to fix it or a suggestion for a better taskbar? (no polybar) -- user <candycane> is generated from /dev/urandom

A search engine told me that it's a panel add-on for window managers, providing icons for connected devices and others. Can't other desktop manager's panels substitute functions tint2 comes with? -- Andreas

How about you keep your flaming to yourself if you can’t even invest 30 seconds into researching what tint2 is? It is actually widely used together with e.g. openbox.

Technically, Usenet is capable of html and pictures in context. I think
I tried on a private server long ago. Not allowed, but that's a
different issue.

On most forum posts I read people just post image hosting links like they do on Usenet. Sometimes you see that spammers have figured out how to post visible images but the regulars haven't. One did change their platform to Discourse and start supporting image hosting, but that upgrade came with lots of Javascript (including for lazy-loading those images) that annoys me even more. Forums are bad, that's why I'm here. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _# | Note: I won't see posts made from Google Groups |

It is often insert a picture that links to an external image. Ie, the
image itself is not saved in the web forum server.
Otherwise, it is an admin choice. On one forum I use, I can post photos,
but they do not appear till approved by someone.

Hosting photos is a load on the server. Bandwidth, cpu, storage.

They are not bad per se. Actually, it is possible to link a web forum
with an nntp server. When I need help with something and the people are
on a forum, I post on the forum, no problem.

I do give in and post on forums too, but only while grumbling loudly to myself. I don't actually grumble to the people there because they're sure to say that suggesting everyone switch to Usenet is a bad idea. However here on Usenet I can state that I think using web forums is a bad idea, for me at least, proven by the fact that I spend more time on Usenet even if it mainly seems to be just reading/writing _about_ Usenet these days. Anyway linking web forums to news servers is actually something I asked about in news.software.nntp last month. Presumably you mean where it's part of the forum configuration, but I'm interested in scraping forums client-side and turning their posts into news articles in a news spool, which could then be hosted over NNTP or browsed directly in a news reader. From that discussion I gather that this hasn't been done before. I'm not decided whether to write the software for it myself or not. Keeping up with forum software changes would make it an endless project. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _# | Note: I won't see posts made from Google Groups |
