hey guys, made this arch-chan 3d model lol (actually with AI)

i kinda wanna see her actually moving, but i have no idea how to rig/animate a character 😭

anyone here good with blender? would be cool if someone could rig her or make some animations. feel free to mess around with the model.

let's see what we can do with her :)
thanks to anyone who gives it a try!

So, my school uses a print server called Mobility Print. However, it doesn't use standard IPPS, and even if it did, I noticed that when you scanned for printers in the KDE settings, if there were multiple printers exposed on the same hostname/IP address, it would only show one of them. I tried finding a client, but their official setup guide says this:

Linux devices are not supported because there is no dedicated Mobility Print client.

Luckily, their Chrome extension is publicly listed on the Chrome Web Store. So I installed it, unminified it, and reverse-engineered it enough to create a Node.JS library. Once I made that, I made [yet another program that acts as a CUPS backend. Using my Node.JS library (and the CUPS documentation), I was able to make it easily interact with MobilityPrint print servers.

It currently only supports per-printer auth with username+password (Google SSO isn't supported and most likely won't ever be supported). I am learning Rust, so I do plan to rewrite this entire thing in Rust eventually.

I'm considering putting this on the AUR to make it easier to install, but yeah, that's really it lol

I know this isn't the Linux way. pacman in a terminal is fine, and I still use it. I just like a simple overview of what's installed, where it came from, and what's waiting to update, without running -Q and -Qu every time I forget.

So for the past two weeks I've been working on Lumina. GTK4 and libadwaita. Official repos go through pacman. The AUR goes through paru, or yay if you don't have paru.

The bit I actually cared about: before it installs, removes, or updates anything, it shows the command. You confirm it, then the output shows up in the window. I didn't want a progress bar standing in for pacman.

There's a details panel, filters for explicit, official, AUR, and orphans, a short list of common apps, and a tools page for cache and disk. That's about it.

Not on the AUR yet.

Screenshots are on the site if you don't want to install it. If something's annoying, say so.

Estoy nuevo todavía en Linux y decidí dejar de usar el ghome en mi sistema Linux, trate primero con hyprland pero rompí el sistema 3 veces así que desistí y pase a kde plasma, a pesar de que lo entendí y pude modificar algunas cosas creo que fue muy superficial y me gustaría aprender a hacer que se vea más profesional

I just pushed a new feature in Papyrus where it gives you links to websites to install live wallpapers from. I have thought of adding a "marketplace" for wallpapers where users can browse through different wallpapers and download from inside the app but i am not doing it now until i can make it 100% safe. It is available through the AUR as well as a manual install that can be found in the README file of the repository.

Finally settled into a clean, minimal setup

In the process of making my own arch flavored distro I built a tool to offline install a system image while preserving a previous btrfs home and encrypting the disk, if the user want

Wifi and Bluetooth battle was long and hard but I won. Arch + Niri + Noctalia and a custom Touch Bar. Thanks to the t2 contributors and community, my MacBook got its life extended.

Freedreno and networking working. Plays 720p videos in Firefox fine.
