  • Yes, this is the layout I get in landscape, but it’s not picked up in portrait, so that it’s just a bit too narrow would make sense for it not to be picked up as a large screen as the resolution is kind of weird when tilted into portrait instead of landscape.

    Do you need anything more from my part? If so, or if you want me to test/change anything, let me know, I am happy to supply with whatever I can to help 🙂


  • Here is a screenshot of the setting, and if I read this correctly it’s off, which makes sense for me as I mostly use the app in “small screen mode” where I prefer it to be on the bottom.

    The problem surfaces when used in unfolded (big screen) portrait mode, as for landscape view of the same unfolded screen, it’s split and works as usual.


  • As far as I can tell, rail mode is off and large screen is on?

    For reference the resolution for the folded out display is 1856 × 2160 pixels and it happens in “portrait” mode, where the resolution will be weird I guess.

    If I switch to landscape the issue is not present, I didn’t think to test for that until you mentioned “weird screen size”.

    Thanks for looking into it, and it’s probably a corner case since the foldable screens are not all that common, at least not yet.



  • If you want a second attempt, this might help.

    To get USB devices working inside a container, you need to map the device into the container, which can be tricky—especially if you’re running rootless containers.

    If you’re on Linux and want to avoid complicated setups with user namespaces, groups, or messing with udev rules, the easiest way to start is by manually recreating the device node inside a folder you control (like where your config is stored) using mknod.

    For example, if your USB device is /dev/ttyUSB0:

    1. Run ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0 You should see output like: crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Jan 1 1970 /dev/ttyUSB0

    2. Note the major (188) and minor (0) numbers.

    3. Change directory to the folder where you want to create the “clone” device node, then run: sudo mknod -m 666 ttyUSB0 c 188 0 (Use the major/minor numbers from your device — they differ by device.) This will create a device readable and writeable by anyone on the system so perhaps consider changing the mode from 666 to 660 and/or chown the file afterwards to your user and group. As I said, this is HACKY and not a secure solution.

    You will now have a device file you can then pass into your container with the Docker/PODMAN option: –device /path/to/your/folder/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0

    I realize this is a pretty hacky and insecure workaround—feel free to downvote or ignore if you want something cleaner. But it’s a quick way to get your USB device accessible inside the container to get started. Later on, you can look into proper handling with udev or other methods if security is important.

    If you use Windows, you are on your own unfortunately, I do not have experience with podman/docker in Windows environments.



  • Thank you so much for all your hard work on Summit! I know you’re probably already juggling a ton of feature requests, but I was wondering if it would be possible to add an option to organize downloads into folders based on their source—something like <download folder>/<community>/<downloaded file>.

    Sync used to have this, and it made my (admittedly excessive) image and meme collections so much more organized, even if I rarely look at them again. Definitely not a big deal, just a nice-to-have. Thanks again for everything you do!


  • Subtitles are not always simple text files in the source. They can come in various formats like SRT, WebVTT, Teletext, and VobSub—if they are present at all.

    To integrate them into WebM, you must first determine if they exist, ensure they have the correct language tags (and tag them properly if they don’t), then extract them, convert them into a format compatible with the player, and finally remux them alongside the video and audio. This process can easily fail in an automated workflow if any of these conditions are unmet or if the subtitle format is incompatible.

    Given this complexity, it’s understandable why many choose to avoid the effort rather than addressing whether WebM supports subtitles.

    I am not defending anyone, but the process of it all makes it understandable, at least for me.




  • It could definitely be stress-related, especially if you had a particularly bad night of sleep before this started.

    When you don’t sleep well, your body can reset its cortisol production cycle. Cortisol—the hormone tied to stress and alertness—typically starts rising in the early hours of the morning, around 3–4 a.m., as part of a normal circadian rhythm.

    But if you’re under even mild or subconscious stress, that spike can happen earlier or be stronger than usual, causing you to wake up prematurely and feel too alert to fall back asleep.

    It’s like your body’s stuck in a “high alert” mode even if nothing obvious is triggering it.

    Could be the birds that have already been mentioned as well, I am no expert, nor medical trained, but this reason is more common than you might think when waking up early. It’s the same reason you might find yourself waking before the alarm when you really need to be on time, like before going on vacation and you cannot miss your flight.

    Here is a link to one of many in regards to sleep and cortisol

  • I know this doesn’t directly solve your issue, and it might not help much now, but I wanted to share my experience just in case it’s useful.

    When I had a similar problem after switching phones, what ended up helping was that I had 2FA enabled beforehand. In that case, after selecting the option to recover my account suddenly allowed me to receive a verification code via SMS—something that didn’t appear on the usual login screen, it was greyed out before selecting this option.

    It probably won’t work if 2FA is disabled, but maybe it’s still worth checking if any recovery options that shows up helps. There might be a choice there that helps you resolve your problem as well.

    In any case, good luck—I hope you’re able to get it sorted soon!





  • I know that’s not how it technically works, but nowadays a lot of companies introduce smaller bottles at the same price as before, claiming they’re reducing plastic use by X%. What they don’t mention is that you’re still paying the same price for less product. So while a bigger container might be more efficient in terms of packaging-to-volume ratio, that logic often gets tossed out when marketing wants to spin “less for the same” as an eco-friendly move.


  • Were you using Windows XP Home, by any chance?

    That tool was only included with Windows XP Professional, and even then, it was a command-line utility—so unless you were specifically looking for it or browsing through the %windir%\system32 directory, you probably wouldn’t have noticed it.

    The article I referenced didn’t specify exactly which 32-bit versions it came with or when it was removed—it just mentioned that it was still included in 32-bit Windows after the DOS era. I didn’t write the article myself, so I can’t really speak to its accuracy.

    Personally, I used that edline a lot back in the DOS days starting around 1985, until I switched to Notepad in Windows 95 and later to VIM when I moved to Linux after Windows 98. I never really checked for it in newer versions of Windows after that. A quick Google search confirmed it wasn’t included in XP Home, which would explain why you never saw it.
