I found this very promising app that looks like it can be an alternative to Ferdium, Rambox, Franz, Hamsket.

WebSpace is an app that brings websites and web apps together in one organized, streamlined interface. Any web app you can think off can be used in WebSpace in its own web instance instead of your main web browser. Basically it is a web browser but for web apps you use often and may want running in the background.

For use degoogled users who use website, web apps, PWAs over native apps, this makes using these services much easer.

WebSpace also adds many privacy features such as ad blocking and filtering, cookie isolation, and more.

Also it is written in Flutter! Meaning this could become available on desktop in the future! One app, one codebase for all major OSes!

Check it out and contribute!

I created a simple Nushell script that will always disable the default/internal monitor(s) on your laptop or external display when using AR glasses. I find this useful for when using AR glasses such as the XReal One which allows you to change the mode from regular mode to ultra-wide mode and when doing this, it will act as your unplugging the XReal ones and plugging in XReal one again in a new mode, causing the other display to become enabled.

To keep the laptop display always off, weather the laptop lid is either closed or open, this simple Nushell script will always disable the screen every X seconds (You can change it by changing the wait constant)

Simply copy this script and create a new Nushell script such as disable-displays.nu, add it to your startup applications with the command of nu /path/to/disable-displays.nu and it will run in the background. You will need to run xrandr command with all of your displays enabled to get the names of the displays and change the constants values in the script accordingly.

NOTE: This script may not work with a full Wayland setup and may only work on X11.

Enjoy

EDIT

I made a Nushell version of this script that is updated... https://lemmy.world/post/48010802

I created a simple Bash script that will always disable the default/internal monitor on your laptop when using AR glasses (or any other external monitor). I find this useful for when using AR glasses such as the XReal One which allows you to change the mode from regular mode to ultra-wide mode and when doing this, it will act as your unplugging the XReal ones and plugging in XReal one again in a new mode, causing the interal laptop display to become enabled.

To keep the laptop display always off, weather the laptop lid is either closed or open, this simple bash script will always disable the laptop screen every X seconds (You can change it by changing the wait variable)

Simply copy this script and create a new bash script such as disable-display.sh, make the script file executable and add it to your startup applications and it will run in the background. You will need to run xrandr command with all of your displays enabled to get the names of the displays and change the variable names in the script accordingly.

I am trying to create a podman compose of NGINX and PHP:FPM. I was able to get NGINX to work on its own using the docker.io./bitnami/nginx image. I gotten close I believe to getting the PHP:FPM to work also but due to an issue with NGINX not cooperating with the PHP:FPM.

In the logs of the NGINX container, I get this error every time I load localhost:8080 in the browser...

10.89.4.2 - - [24/Jul/2024:20:18:35 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 404 47 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:128.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/128.0" "-"
2024/07/24 20:18:35 [error] 44#44: *1 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Primary script unknown" while reading response header from upstream, client: 10.89.4.2, server: localhost, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://10.89.4.3:9000", host: "localhost:8080"

And when I load localhost:8080 in the browser, it displays a blank page which says "File not found.".

I am using podman 5.1.2 on Linux Mint 21.3. My goal is to simply NGINX and PHP to work, to be able to have a web server that can use PHP.

Any advice would be most appreciated.

On Linux, thr best package type for a portable application is an AppImage since all the dependances are inside the AppImage, its all in one file and can run on any linux distro.

On Android, you dan download an APK and install it manually which is the closest thing to a portable Android app.

Therefore, in the service/server self hosting world. Are containers (docker/podman images) the equivalent to a portable executable of a service? AppImages downside is its size since all the dependancies are bundle with it. Containers not only bundle its dependnacies but the OS to run run them. For a stable, low incompatibility and low dependancy hell, are containers the way to go for portable services?

I know container images are not distributed as tar files often and mostly pulled from a registry, however they can be saved and loaded as portable tar files.
