[opensuse] lizards.opensuse.org

Are registrations on Lizards.opensuse.org closed? It seems weird that the site would keep showing the sign-up link, but the real probably registration url also doesn't work. Ie. https://lizards.opensuse.org/wp-login.php?action=register also doesn't work. I don't know how to get an account, even if just to comment on the articles. Is there a way to get an account, or is that reserved to actual writers since they are the ones who are listed as "Lizards", or is it even possible to become a lizard?. But becoming an openSUSE member is not done just to start blogging there ;-). It's a shame I can't even comment there, or anyone really. I would love to have somewhere to post, but I can't really 'contribute' in that conscious, decisive, willful way. That commitment type of way. That should be something that happens out of itself because of a love for the product and the services you perform automatically in regards to it. (I used to write on the Wiki way back in 2006 perhaps :p). But those were just a personal page.. And it's certainly not something that should be done to 'earn the right' of publishing somewhere, I guess. Anyway. I found out about the Lizards. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Lizards And why the registration link is closed, but I would suggest fixing the theme: <div class="grid_4" id="login-wrapper"> <a href="#signup-page">Sign up</a> |   <a href="https://lizards.opensuse.org/wp-login.php" title="Login">Login</a> </div> I have no access to the PHP of course but it should not be hard to remove --that output-- from it: <a href="#signup-page">Sign up</a> | Or otherwise envision a signup page again, but since WP logins are linked to the Novell system. Idk, maybe you should be able to apply as a commenter account. "WordPress has six pre-defined roles: Super Admin, Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor and Subscriber. Each role is allowed to perform a set of tasks called Capabilities. There are many capabilities including "publish_posts", "moderate_comments", and "edit_users". A default set of capabilities is pre-assigned to each role, but other capabilites can be assigned or removed using the add_cap() and remove_cap() functions. New roles can be introduced or removed using the add_role() and remove_role() functions." I believe a contributor is someone who can write posts but they have to be approved by an editor. A subscriber probably just has comment capabilities. So you can even have a type of cascading system, or multi-level system. You can have different kinds of Lizard accounts. Everyone who is involved with OpenSUSE has that Novell account anyway. The logins may be linked to that account, but there are still accounts in the WP system. And these accounts have different roles, or currently a single role assigned to them. If you created a different kind of application form you could easily with a slight bit of work introduce Subscriber or Contributor accounts. It would make the whole lizard system perhaps a bit more ... fresh and outstanding ;-). Also more of those lizards/authors should have avatars :-/ :(. It's not very attractive at this point. Since the hard work of linking the login to the Novell system is already done, and would work exactly the same for regular Authors and lesser accounts (in WP) it is really easy peasy and just needs a way for you (or someone who approves ) to create those lesser accounts. Then you can have guest posts, and you can also have commenters. Currently there are not even commenters, even those with Novell accounts cannot comment or assign or apply for commentorship. So actually I would suggest that type of feature. Maybe I should just mail admin@ with a request for such an account ;-). Anyway, just some thoughts.

[opensuse] adjusting window title for firefox launched on remote hosts
by Olaf Hering 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

To make it easier to distinguish the various Firefox windows I want to have the hostname in the window title. After some experiments I found that the window resulting from this command # ssh -X -t -l user $HOST firefox -new-instance will be named '<website title> - Mozila Firefox (on $HOST)', which is mostly what I want. Unfotunately I also have FF windows from localhost, like # ssh -X -t -l user localhost firefox -new-instance Here the "(on $HOST)" part is missing. Does anyone happen to know how to tell FF to put the hostname into the window title bar for localhost? Preferable in the form of "(on $USER@$HOST)".
