I did, and I just don’t “feel it”. Those is all great software but none of them really fits my specific use case. They all seem to be deeply connected with desktop environments or being just plain old font managers.

My dream is something like an image viewer, but for fonts. A bit like display from ImageMagick does it, but more like this.

Sounds like you have an awesome dad!

how is a 36-year-old supposed to act?

How ever they want!

So, what dependencies do the DE font viewers actually pull in?

The ones specific to that DE, which I do not want.

Mmmh, nope, only the normal version available.

The Flatpak version (or KCharSelect in general) unfortunately ignores the font file given on command line.

KCharSelect

It just installs kcharselect … and figuratively half of KDE :)

There seems to be a Flatpak available I’ll check out later when I have time to install hundreds of megabyte of depending other KDE-specific Flatpaks …

As far as I know, GNOME and KDE have had font viewers since time immemorial.

I was talking specifically about web fonts and web font websites which help me not the slightest with my use case.

Ideally something that allows me to see the characters in a table, sorted by character blocks, like in the LibreOffice “Insert Special Characters” dialog, so that I’m not limited to some predefined text but being able to see all characters.

These types of apps became fairly irrelevant with the advent of Web Fonts and sites that already do all of this.

That’s my point. All of those stupid modern things do not solve my issue of just double-clicking a local ttf file in my file manager to see some text rendered in that font. That is literally all I want to do.

The fact that you’re asking for whatever tool to not use something like QT or GTK

I don’t really care what graphics toolkit is used. I just don’t want something that is heavily interconnected with any type of desktop environment due to not wanting to install a metric shit-ton of dependencies 😉

Only fascist regimes ban books.

There is none. Mozilla has no support staff reachable by mail.

selfhost.eu offers dynamic DNS which works perfectly fine with my router, using their API access as documented by them. It also works perfectly well with Let’s Encrypt integrated in Nginx Proxy Manager.

• can handle .at domains
• is not Cloudflare
• is registrar and name server
• is European (Germany)
• supports Nginx Proxy Manager

They’re in the market since 2001, I use them since ca. 2010 and never had any issues. Their website looks ancient, almost historic. But it’s functional.

Can you ELI5 why water has no calories, which is also a unit of energy?

Calories are a very specific type of measuring energy, especially when used in the context of nutrition. When nutritionists say that water has 0 calories, they mean that water has no nutritional energy.

But when looking at it from a non-nutrition perspective water has calories.

When you say, “something has X calories”, it’s a shorthand of saying “something has an equivalent of X times the amount of energy that is needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1°C.”

From a physical point of view water ALWAYS has energy (that you can express in calories) because something with mass can never have no energy.

But I’m not sure that all matter has energy.

It has. If it has mass, it has energy, that is a core principle of how matter is defined scientifically.

Calories are not “a thing” but a measurement unit for energy. So yes. everything “has calories”.

You can easily remap it to something useful.

At this point I wonder if the last few months of systematically destructing the rest of Microsoft’s reputation is a false-flag action by Linux users who infiltrated the company.

AI bro’s “won” again.

If someone has the “ultimate solution” to something, they wouldn’t give it away in the Internet for “just $29.99”.

Wero is a trap

It is also insecure by design and actively supports scamming people.

Would have been great if it wasn’t shit, though.
