^ Nice.

I've switched to a central clock and changed the numerical battery indicator to an ASCII symbol string (because reading numbers is too hard):

Bah, sorry, I thought I tested that...

Does this work?

#!/bin/sh

temp="$(sensors|awk '/^Core/{sum+=$3;lines+=1}END{print int (sum/lines)}')"

printf "Temp: %s°C" "$temp"

That's foot --server running in the background with a footclient for each new window. I tried alacritty and it is very nice but the memory consumption is excessive compared to foot, especially for multiple windows.

Yes, that's right.

#!/bin/sh

temp="$(sensors|awk '/Core/{lines++}{sum+=$3}END{print int(sum/lines)}')"

printf "Temp: %s°C" "$temp"

EDIT: added lines variable to make the script work for any number of active cores.

Your other scripts weren't printing an average of all four cores whereas mine is :-)

I think a better approach would be to disable any listening services on the laptop. The best firewall is not having to need a firewall at all

In respect of {G,}UFW, those front-ends were created because the iptables syntax is so horrible but nftables has a *much* simpler language and so doesn't really need those tools any more. See also https://wiki.nftables.org/wiki-nftables … /Main_Page

v3.24.29 seems to be available in Debian's experimental repositories:

http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/ … _amd64.deb

That will only work for certain types of soundcard. Getting PulseAudio running properly would have fixed things for you automagically because all that file does is set the default ALSA output device to the analogue card rather than the default HDMI device.

For that you can use an X.Org configuration file to control either the (obsolete) xf86-input-synaptics or xf86-input-libinput drivers:

That technique would work for all (non-Wayland) desktops and even on the login screen.

Have you tried changing the icon theme for the desktop? Edit ~/.gtkrc-2.0 & ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini directly or use something like lxappearance.

From the man page:

Using /beowulf-backports doesn't change the default release so APT can only attempt to draw the dependencies from beowulf.

apt install roundcube/beowulf-backports roundcube-core/beowulf-backports roundcube-mysql/beowulf-backports

That's just a metapackage. Try

apt install -s emacs-nox/beowulf-backports

Version 6.9 of oksh is now available:

https://software.opensuse.org//download … ckage=oksh

Yeah, you just need to target backports explicitly so that the correct dependency is selected:

# apt install piper/beowulf-backports

FWIW I think aptitude would have probably figured it out for you :-)

From where did you attempt to obtain the piper package?

It is available from beowulf-backports, the version there depends on the ratbagd package also from beowulf-backports and so should be installable.
