It’s actually very simple:

monitors-on:

#! /bin/bash

hyprctl keyword monitor DP-1, 2560x1440@144, 0x0, 1

hyprctl keyword monitor DP-3, 2560x1440@144, 2560x0, 1

hyprctl keyword monitor HDMI-A-1, disable

monitors-off is basically same thing but reversed:

#! /bin/bash

hyprctl keyword monitor DP-1, disable

hyprctl keyword monitor DP-3, disable

hyprctl keyword monitor HDMI-A-1, 0x0@60, 1

es-de

I’m still working out some kinks with audio so I don’t wanna go down the rabbit hole hell that is pactl and pavucontrol in this post. But that’s more of a universal Linux gripe I have than distro specific.

Obviously you’ll need to tweak the script to what your specific setup is. The first numbers are x & y axis and the second is refresh rate. This is just an example. It’s also Wayland only but you can do this in x11 no problem

As far as “remotely” switching, I just assigned the scripts to keybinds in the hyprland config file. Super easy.

Adding onto this a bit as I also use a KVM to stream games from my bedroom PC to the living room 4k TV.

Hyprland has been great for this. I used to use KDE, then i3. KDE was a PITA for this setup, no fault of their own it is just fundamentally a different one, and i3 worked to some extent but I was still constantly fiddling with stuff to get audio and video exactly how I wanted to (and to do it easily).

Hyprland just works for me and I love it. I press a keybind and run a script I wrote to turn off my desk monitors, set audio, and launch the emulator front end (emulationstation-DE). Which can also launch all my steam and lutris games, as well as emulators all the way up to PS3 and switch games.

I even mounted a remote start button on the wall and turn my PC on from the other room

My favorite was a specific problem I had modding Morrowind on Linux years ago and posting to reddit.

Only for years to pass and I search for the same problem, only to find my own damn post with no replies.

Just did that! Thank you!

Not sure how true this is only because I think it can vary wildly.

I have more problems telling Linux to not play audio through my dualsense controller. It’ll just default to using it for the most random things, like my music player or gamecube emulator or whatever. I don’t plug headphones into it, I have a DAC, so not sure if it’s playing there and just needs a headset plugged in it or what. But I think that’s OP’s goal.

Kinda wild all things considered since my controller is plugged in via USB cable

I swear to god working in an engineering field for the past 10 years or so has dramatically changed my grammar. Do you know who has the absolute worst grammar and spelling of anyone I’ve ever met? My boss. “First 2 channels shoul dBe woired for 0-10vDC” was a note he left on my desk yesterday. Do you know who’s the smartest person I’ve ever met when it comes to electrical? Also my boss.

It’s never a 1 to 1 comparison of intelligence fwiw. Everyone in this field spits out emails in half-cobbled together sentences and phrases and it just works somehow. When I type out multiple paragraphs and overexplain things, half the time they’ll just come down to the shop to talk instead.

But yeah I have realized that this will bleed out into the rest of my communication haha. I’ll look back at texts I send quickly to my fiance and see that I’m skipping words or saying shit wrong. Oh well, the ideas are communicated just as well most the time.

Pittsburgh’s great! I’ve lived here my whole life, bought an old home from 1890 here during covid that’s right along the Allegheny River. I can see it from my front stoop. I’m also surrounded by woods and have only one neighbor who’s about a hundred feet away. But I can still walk around the city or bus most places pretty easily.

I’m currently renovating the home slowly as I go, but I love it to death. This is me and my fiance’s forever home for sure.

Pittsburgh is a great mix of Appalachian country, rust belt, and small city all in one. Like I can drive maybe 15 minutes up the road and I’m in the sticks, or I can bop around the city. There’s also the suburbs of course, but I have no reason to go to them unless I’m driving thru them.

I’ve worked in factories for the past 10 years or so in electrical manufacturing of control and power systems for the big steel mills around the country. I love that the industry is still here if you can drive. Like I get to work in 20 minutes, can’t beat it. Most industry is quite a drive outside other cities.

Yikes. Lane correction legit freaks me out. I thought it could always be turned off long term but I guess not.

It would be a disaster using that in the city I live in (Pittsburgh). Like I’m sorry that our roads are based on deer trails from the 1800s that go through woods and winding up and down hills. With all the city traffic to go with it.

Downtown can be even worse. Like you legit have to break traffic laws to get around, there’s no other way. If one of them cars “corrected” me on a tight narrow street when I go over the double yellow to pass someone on a bicycle, that could end terribly for everyone.

It’s like the people that designed these cars only ever have to drive on perfect grids with multiple lanes or the highway.

It’s not a new argument. This goes back decades, with actual laws being passed linking homosexuality to pedophilia and making it a crime and/or classified as a mental disorder to be gay.

It’s just a sore subject is all.

I have to open PDFs all day long at work to read our schematics. No I don’t want an “AI assistant” or an “AI summary” on drawings of electrical wiring. And I need to close multiple menus to get rid of them, and the only option is “disable for this session”, no way to permanently turn them off

I’m a younger person (32) and didn’t know about this norm until I saw an older person doing it. Now I do it as well but make it obvious what the intent is.

For example:

Hello (person),

See responses below in red

Blah blah blah original email text

Red text

Blah blah blah

Red text

Etc.

It works really well. Said person will even respond in green to my red. We do all this in new outlook, which to be fair, is still a mess for other reasons. Don’t even get me started on the search lol

That probably had more to do with our working conditions tbh. We would work 12-16 hour shifts, frequently flipping between days and overnights due to the heat.

Eating one big meal after working was all you could do sometimes. You’re basically in survival mode. We would also usually split a case of water per day due to sweating so much and staying hydrated.

He would eat like 20 egg whites as well as some other low carb breakfast at Denny’s. Then go work out. Dude was a beast lol.

I’ll never forget when I worked on industrial solar farms for the power grid, I worked with this absolutely jacked bro that would blast EDM on the overnights when it was too hot to legally work in the daytime.

He would crush like 20 egg whites when we’d go to Denny’s.

Never really understood how that worked into his diet but it worked for him and he was cool as shit.

Why even lump pedos in the same sentence with the gays

This is an age-old hurtful stereotype. I’m hoping you don’t believe there’s any connection, because I have heard that before from bigots in my life and it just makes me see red. Same as the whole “homophobes are just closeted gays let’s point that out as if it’s a sickness”.

I’m just tryin to exist, not be considered “harmful” to anyone

Usually something hyper specific. This was a few years ago but I found a very bustling community forum for appliance repair. I posted a question on how to fix my oven and got very detailed answers and technical info involving the circuit board and heating element and troubleshooting steps. Unfortunately the general consensus on there is that for a lot of appliances, the board needs replaced which may or may not be available, and if it is, costs damn near what a new appliance does. Which is obviously done on purpose to drive sales.

The other one I know is my friend will participate on one for modding Toyota Yaris cars.

Bodybuilding / fitness forums are still pretty active.

All of these tend to have subreddit or Lemmy equivalents however.

I’d love to keep outlook off my personal phone but there’s no chance I’m getting a company phone considering I’m a shop employee and everything in it is an afterthought for IT. Like our computers still run windows 7.

Unfortunately I need email to do my job, on a ping system for what to test and general communications with coworkers who are often not there or traveling in the field.

As in watch the media not on my own network or have other users do the same from their homes.

Music is another big one that jellyfin can’t compete with Plex with in its current state. I currently have 718 GB of music that I stream with plexamp when I’m driving.

Do you have a guide somewhere on how to set it up? I’ve poked around online and didn’t see anything short of tailscaling your container to a web browser which I don’t want to do for a few different reasons (opening ports / security mostly)

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think jellyfin offers remote access to your media

Either kalamata or green olives. I like green olives with pepperoni, kalamata usually by themselves.

Another all-timer is anchovies + mushroom. It’s basically a fish stew if done the right way
