Hey, I am trying to revive an old surface laptop with void linux, so far it hasn't been too bad. I decided to try and go with wayland and niri for the desktop environment with lightdm. It is all kind of working except for waybar which I can't seem to get going.

It does not launch on startup, I can run dbus-launch waybar from the terminal and it kind of works (with a fair few warnings). But it does show at the top of the screen! Some errors from running it like this include:

[error] media stopped unexpectedly, is it endless?
...
[error] Failed to query power-profiles-daemon via dbus

If anyone has suggestions would love to hear them, included is basically everything I have installed so far because I did a chroot install for LUKS.

- Waybar
- base-devel
- base-system
- chrony
- cryptsetup
- elogind
- firefox
- font-firacode
- fuzzel
- git
- grub-x86_64-efi
- intel-video-accel
- kitty
- lightdm
- lvm2-2
- mako
- mesa-dri
- mesa-vulkan-intel
- mutter
- niri
- obfs4proxy
- openssl-devel
- pipewire
- plymouth
- swaybg
- swaylock
- tor
- vulkan-loader
- wget
- xorg-minimal
- xwayland-satellite

EDIT: Found a solution by editing /usr/share/wayland-sessions/niri.desktop and changing

Exec=/usr/bin/niri --session

to

Exec=dbus-run-session /usr/bin/niri --session

Saw this shared on the reddit group, it is an online poll where you can contribute and vote on name suggestions anonymously. Good way to get ideas for names if you haven't submitted one yet.

I couldn't find a lemmy community for your party after having a search around, so figured why not make one!

First time making a lemmy community, so let me know about any issues.

I made a group on SimpleX. In case you aren't aware SimpleX is one of the the most secure messaging platforms because it takes the secure encryption of Signal, but removes the requirement for identification. This improves the repudiation ability, and because of its federated design it is extremely hard to suppress. Although I guess on lemmy I'm preaching to the choir. As a digital privacy nerd I figured it would be important for the new party to have a secure place to chat that isn't at the whims of Meta.

As usual, this is unofficial and I am very new to political organising, so happy to take suggestions. Just wanted to contribute the way I know how :)

Prepared my first batch of cold brew today, (32g ground coffee, 500ml water) and staring at it I can't help wondering what the difference is between this and leaving a brewed pot of coffee to sit for a day is? Could someone explain to me what makes cold brew special?

(Followed this guide btw)
