I think I've already covered this exact as comprehensively as can be done without writing you an actual autobiographical novel What the hell, I'll try again anyway. Yes, I could do it. Yes, it would in the end be a very small project (that's the entire point of suggesting it.) Yes, it would be interesting and useful. It would also be useful for me to figure out why Thunderbird is derping out again, learn Javascript, migrate all of my boxes to COW filesystems (which entails researching and choosing between ZFS, btrfs or bcachefs), and also do several thousand things that *aren't* computer-related, many of which either involve my son or attempting to make money doing non-IT things. To the extent that I am talking about this specific issue and not "ZOMG systemd sucks, why haven't you built Alpine Templates that can do 3d gaming, XFCE sucks why not use ObscureWM Deluxe, etc.", I was trying to be considerate and constructive. I even mentioned semi-seriously how this could (down the road) be part of a monetization scheme for Qubes, but despite all of that you still managed to play the lazy, self-absorbed noob card. Congratulations. If you can send me a package of free time, I would be more than happy to give it a shot right away. As it is now, if it really is that so amazingly simple as to hardly be worth mentioning and yet no one has done it, then I submit that I have already made a "contribution" and it is to point out that this thing *should be done*: *** Chris: "The schoolhouse is on fire!" Volunteer Fireman: "Have you ever hooked a firehose up to a hydrant before?" Chris: "No, uh, but I mean it's on fire *right now* and..." Volunteer Fireman: "Look, it's really quite simple. And this would be a great opportunity for you learn something. Nothing beats hands-on experience." *** Chris: "If you had enough time to write *all of that*..." Me: "Then perhaps you'd do me the courtesy of reading it instead of attempting to use it (with no trace of irony) as a evidence of my sloth?" Maybe if you (or someone) could write a Firefox extension to modify all browser page titles to be a concatenation of the page title and a short token of characters generated from a salted hash of the URL (so that I don't have to deal with any more hyperbole out of people like M. Ouelette), I could write the Dom0 bash bit. Or vice versa. Couldn't promise delivery on a tight deadline, though. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
