Loose yolks. Heh

Latest release seems to have been in March 2025. The version you get would depend on how you installed it. For Ubuntu/Kubuntu it looks like maybe they point to the Snap store? I have no idea how well that works and personally would avoid it.

Did you do that, or, download a deb or install “printer-driver-gutenprint” via apt?

In another comment you said you have the Canon proprietary driver. I think you would need the CUPS driver for this to work.

I didn’t do this recently enough to remember what the process looked like. But in your situation I would probably try to uninstall everything print related, reboot, and then start with sudo apt update -y && sudo apt install printer-driver-gutenprint and see where that gets me.

True. I should have said that there was enough information there to satisfy my interest in the matter. Which was small.

I wondered too. It was explained here: https://lemmy.world/post/28040267

Sibiu Romania sees what you’re talking about.

The Gutenprint plugin has support for a bunch of Canon printers. I haven’t used it in a while but I remember it supporting borderless prints with CUPS drivers. Maybe not for all printers? Worth a look at least.

How about creating your own LAN within the untrusted network?

Something like an inexpensive OpenWRT router would do fine. Connect all your devices and the server to the router. They are now on a trusted network. Set up Wireguard on the OpenWRT router to connect to Proton so that your outbound traffic from all your devices is secured.

Team hankie! I like to think of mine as the towel recommended by Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It was just oversight that I didn’t have mine in my recent share.

Ha! My kingdom for some flatware!

Yeah, it’s not often. Normally a few times per month probably. More often than the bottle opener and less than the scissors.

In a normal day it’s only in my pocket if I know I’ll need it, hoping to avoid disposable utensils when I’m already planning to eat in a setting where that would be the default. It’s on me every day when I carry a bag or a backpack.

I also travel a good bit. When I’m on the road it gets used at least once per day - often multiple times in a day.

I like LibreOffice Draw for this.

And if you did, and want a fun tech project to track what species are in your yard, check out BirdNET Pi: https://github.com/mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi

It can help to download your local map for offline use. The default basemap doesn’t have details like house numbers, but the downloaded maps should.

OsmAnd will do that. If you edit the destinations you can manually specify their order. Click sort there and choose door-to-door to get the most efficient routing.

The app takes some getting used to, but it works very well, and can act as a front-end for contributing to OpenStreetsMap.

See what’s using the space. This will list any dirs using >100MiB:

sudo du -h -d 5 -t 100M /var

I use LibreNMS, which is a fork of Observium. It is primarily SNMP polling, so if you haven’t worked with SNMP before there can be a bit of a learning curve to get it set up. Once you get the basics working it’s pretty easy to add service monitoring, syslog collection, alerting and more. And since it’s SNMP you can monitor network hardware pretty easily as well as servers.

The dashboards aren’t as beautiful as some other options but there is lot to work with.

Did I read right that it doesn’t use systemd?

Legrand makes a recessed keystone wall plate that may help. There are also other recessed and angled plate options that may help.

Monit works for me. Good basic monitoring solution that can also restart a service/interface.

I also use LibreNMS to do alerting for a variety of conditions (syslog events, sensor conditions, outages and services via nagios). But this is more work to get set up.

I tried draw.io, but ended up liking LibreOffice Draw better for hand-drawing.

If you want to get a live map of the connections on your network you may want to check out netdisco.org or librenms.org. Both are open source network management tools that have mapping.

No problems here with AT&T fiber. Yes, you do need their box (the bypass isn’t even possible yet on their new model that they seem to be installing everywhere now). But the IP passthrough works well enough for me so that my router gets the public IP and I can connect to it using any service I’ve tried to host. I make the best of it by using their wifi (which on the BGW320 is pretty decent) for untrusted devices & iot stuff.

Oh, and I use DDNS, but I have never had the public IP change on me.
