Hey, I just read the link in your sig about "Trusted" Computing. Frightening. Very frightening.

Yes.. VERY scary. This TC crap could ruin the GPL and OSS. Im terrified. Sometimes I feel like I should stop using Linux before I get too attached (wow, im not a fanatic, i promise ).. because it may end up never having its day. Please keep TC in mind and tell others who might care- this threatens all of the work weve strived for in these forums, the efforts of Linux in general, and the rights of each and every person in the world..

Hi all, I have a question, my conky is using way too much resources.
I think thats because of the different fonts. Is there a way to reduce this? At the moment I cant reload every second, but it would look better. I used the same source like Cresho.

Very nice! Never thought of changing colors like that myself. I guess I was thinking two tone in my case.

very nice rjmdomingo2003.

Merci!

Very minimal. I've experimenting all day and I really just want to see the things I've got in there now. I didn't need the mail notification or weather or any of that other stuff.
This is kinda utilitarian, but it works for me.
I REALLY like that I was able to find out how to get my nvidia GPU temp into here.

I like the fan speeds. Maybe tomorrow morning I'll try to figure out how to grab the fan speeds on mine.

Question:

The ideo of getting the Local IP with

Local IP $alignr ${addr ath0}
${color #D6CACA}Public IP $alignr ${execi 3605 curl http://www.whatismyip.org'}

is really good, but after 6-10 requests the website gives an error message!

Is there a way to slow down the Local IP intervall check, so you don't get "banned" on that website
