  • Try explicitly setting your DNS servers to either cloudflare (1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1) or google (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) and see if that has any effect.

    If that does not help, make sure you’re getting a good signal from your router. Move your PC and router closer together for testing purposes to rule out wifi interference.

    Troubleshooting issues like that are often a matter of ruling things out as best you can to track down the cause.













  • If someone started a blog site called “Tumbler” or a gay dating app called “Grinder” you could totally understand the conflict, couldn’t you. Listen, I went through this. I started a site whose name had a word that was similar to a famous trademark, and got a very similar cease and desist letter. I chose to change the name, and be candid about it, and I’ve been successful with it ever since. Just my $0.02, but I’d choose a new name you like and then register and trademark it like I did.


  • When I press Super + PrtSc, a bash script performs the following:

    Takes a screenshot of the entire desktop (import -window root) and saves it as ~/screenshot.png…

    Analyzes the screenshot to calculate the “mean brightness” value of the image. It converts the image to grayscale and determines the average pixel brightness (a value between 0 and 1, where 0 is black and 1 is white).

    Checks if the image is dark by comparing the mean brightness to a threshold of 0.2. If the mean brightness is less than 0.2 (i.e., the image is very dark), it applies a negative filter to the image (convert -negate), effectively inverting the colors (black becomes white and vice versa).

    Sends the image to a printer (lp command) named MF741C-743C for printing.

    Thank you very much for the recommendations! Out of curiosity, what are the benefits of using say bluefin over just plain fedora? I should also add that I prefer a long term support installation because I don’t reinstall very often. Thanks again
