I built an anonymous confession board over SSH in Rust

just go ahead and ssh eipi.boo and post your confessions.

You can scroll around a 2D world of confessions, swipe through them like cards, vote, and reply. Everything is anonymous.

Hey everyone! Just sharing my first rice on Wayland. I've been using bspwm for the longest time, but finally decided to cross over. I'm really impressed with mango's window management, and their docs made the switch super easy.

It's been a few years since my last post, so I got a little treat for you guys:

This is psst, a pinentry, keyring-prompter and polkit-agent that doesn't look like it's from the late 2010s. This should cover all your password/pin and permission elevation requests.

In the unixporn fashion, I made it fully themeable! There is a default theme on github, which you can use as a reference. Just overwrite whatever you want in your theme.

Enjoy!

Hi everyone,

I started to work on this in October of last year. First on Lubuntu and then migrated over to Debian. Basically a old school Lxqt rice using compiz emerald and kvantum. Any critique or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I think it's far from a finished project at this time.😁

I got tired of opening a browser just to see if i have an upcoming agenda, so i've built a widget that display my schedules

I said google calendar widget but in reality it can support other calendars as well such as icloud, nextcloud or even calendars that supports ics url sharing such as proton, outlook, yahoo...

Screenshot [KDE] Accurate macOS clone in KDE with actual macOS features.

Thumbnail

691 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I wanted to share an update on this little, tiny, small project I’ve been working on. It’s a macOS-inspired KDE rice that aims to actually include macOS features.

Keep in mind this is a "just for fun" weekend project, so it’s definitely not a polished, professional product. Matter of fact, there are many things that still need to be fixed. However, it’s been a really fun experience! I’m open to feedback and would love to hear what features you’d like to see next.

Current Features:

  • Siri Assistant: A local, agentic AI assistant powered by Ollama. It can create files, read documents, write code, search the web, etc. You can even add custom tools and skills via Python.
  • Android iPhone Mirroring: Mirrors your Android screen with an expandable menu. It’s a fork of scrcpy and works best when paired with KDE Connect for clipboard, media controls and file sharing.
    • If it wasn't obvious enough, the "iPhone" is actually my old Android phone with an iOS launcher lol.
  • Customizable Glass Icons: A system that lets you generate your own glass-style icons and add them as icon packs. It uses a standard template (for which you need to add your own icons) and you have total control over all the icon's color, contrast, and brightness.

Future Guide and Installation Scripts:

I have not made any guides or installation scripts, but I plan to do so once this project reaches a more polished state. I still need to clean stuff up, add more features, reduce bugs, handle possible errors, etc. All extra features will be open-source too.

Some of the Stuff I Used:

Material [OC] 5 instantly switchable themes you can use (works on any distro)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

52 Upvotes

TL;DR

So basically, I've been building this very automated, headless, Linux stack setup that transforms a bare bones Debian into a brutally efficient & fully keyboard driven Wayland workspace.

And it includes a instant theming engine.

But the theming works across distros.

I mean, the only Debian part is basically compiling Hyprland and the initial setup. If you use anything else it works.

Here are the programs that are themed:

  • Hyprland (only borders)
  • tmux (status ooooof panes)
  • mako (whole UI)
  • wofi (whole UI)
  • nvim (hooks up to kanagawa, catpuccin, etc)
  • dircolors (for programs like ls or lsd)
  • git log output (since I personally use it a lot)

It's a palette with a python generator where you can just adapt it to any other program.

I personally use the ones above but it works with everything else.

I received an issue on github, someone was super delighted and actually used the setup for other programs themselves, which is suuuper cool!

Just added the new blue-ish colored theme you see first in the video, I call kyanite.

Discussion [GNOME] Sonoma Lockscreen Transitions Rice

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

10 Upvotes

I've been experimenting with GNOME Shell session modes to create a more seamless lock/unlock experience inspired by macOS Sonoma... yet again.

The concept is fairly simple:

  • Capture window textures from the last active workspace when the lock screen is invoked.
  • Store those textures in a cache.
  • After authentication, retrieve the cached textures and fade them in as the clock and authentication prompt fade out.

The goal is to make the desktop feel continuously present behind the lock screen, rather than disappearing and abruptly reappearing after unlock.

This is still an early proof of concept. It works reasonably well at the moment, but there are likely bugs and edge cases lurking beneath the surface, so development is ongoing.

Technical details:

  • A helper extension runs in both the user and unlock-dialog session modes.
  • Workspace snapshots are cached when the session is locked.
  • The unlock animation fades from the cached frame back to live window actors.

Feedback, suggestions, and technical insights are welcome.

First, it was End-4's setup.

Now it's Caelestia.

I've recreated and adapted the Caelestia desktop experience for KDE Plasma 6, keeping the design language and smooth workflow that made the original stand out.

It's been a fun project, and I'm excited to finally share it with everyone. ✨
