Kalcifer OP , 3 months ago to KDE in Mouse cursor changes size when it hovers over some applications

Out of curiosity, is kitty installed as a Flatpak?

Kalcifer OP , 3 months ago to KDE in Mouse cursor changes size when it hovers over some applications

This isn’t a solution. I am using the Breeze cursors. Specifically, I am using Breeze Light.

I am using a default Breeze cursor theme. Specifically, I am using Breeze Light.

Yeah, I’m also pretty sure that this is a Flatpak issue — an update for one of the affected Flatpaks came out, and it’s issue with the cursor is now fixed. I suspect that when an update for the other applications rolls out, then they will also be fixed. I’m not entirely sure what went wrong in the Flatpaks with Plasma 6, though — it’s rather interesting. Maybe something got changed in one of the desktop portals?

I tried setting that too, but it didn’t fix it.

Is the app in question an XWayland app?

How do I find this info?

you need to change the setting for scaling in the Display Settings to something the XWayland apps like

I’ve never modified the scaling, though — It’s at the default 100%.

Kalcifer OP , 4 months ago to homelab in Could someone explain these OpenWRT LuCI firewall settings to me? I am having trouble interpereting what they are saying exactly.

For the most part, it has been answered (you can scroll through the comments to see if you want to add any other information to a reply of mine, or someone else), but I would still certainly appreciate other attempts at explanations.

Input means the packet stops at the router

Ah okay, so if Output: accept is still enabled, then, even though Input: reject is set, the packet can still use the router as a hop in it’s journey to a device on the router’s network? It just can’t stop at the router? I guess that makes sense because the device on the routers network is addressed by a port which is a layer above the IP address, so it wouldn’t even have a notion of addressing the router unless it just specifies the raw IP.

[EDIT (2024-02-08T00:21Z): Redacted this paragraph after re-reading this comment.]Another thing that is confusing me is the setting for Forward. I would assume that if a packet is destined for a device on the router’s network, then that packet is being forwarded from wan to lan, and if Masquerading is enabled, then the destination IP will be modified by the router. But, in the example image we have that Forward: reject is set. How does the packet get forwarded between interfaces if forwarding is disabled?

[EDIT (2024-02-08T00:21Z): Added the following quote, and response.]

When forward on the wan interface is set to reject, it essentially means no device from outside may initiate a connection. However, they may respond to already opened connection.

How does the router differentiate between the two? If I remember correctly, nftbales uses conntrack to track this sort of stuff. I would guess that the router does the same?

When I was looking through the settings for the second row, I came across the following setting:

https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/dc459644-af01-48e4-aa00-a9b9a8f54e18.webp

I believe that this setting is accomplishing the behaviour that you described (not allowing connections from wan, but still allowing responses). Correct?

It’s no problem! Thank you for trying to help 😊

openwrt.org/docs/…/firewall_configuration

Does this help op ?

I linked that at the end of my post. I mentioned that I felt it didn’t answer my question.

Input means packets originating from another device within this zone with the router as the destination.

How does this work with the second rule? Wouldn’t any connection from the internet be a connection originating from another device within the wan zone (internet) with the router as the destination? The rule has Input: reject, but I would think that it should then be input: accept.

Kalcifer OP , 4 months ago to homelab in Does Avahi work over a bridged network?

Does this make it more clear?

Yes, thank you! Usually, however, most of my issues seem to stem from knowing where configs are, what tools to use for what, or where to find things in the router user interface, etc.

Is there a plan to allow KDE Discover to update flatpaks automatically?

However, how comfortable are you with routing in general?

Ha, depends what you mean by that. If you mean manually specifying routes in a router, I think I generally understand it, but I am not at all confident in my abilities.
