RedShift

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

Fedora 34
Xfce 4.14
redshift-1.12-11.fc34.x86_64
redshift-gtk-1.12-11.fc34.x86_64

Hi All,

Red Shift is all screwed up again:

Unable to connect to GeoClue. Unable to get location from provider:

https://github.com/jonls/redshift/issues/318#issuecomment-865667340

is back in full force.

Is there an alternatives to Red Shift?

Many thanks,
-T

Supposedly you can manually configure your location.  Would that
suffice?  Obviously this would be a nuisance for jetsetters.

Just gleaned from looking at an example configuration file:
http://jonls.dk/redshift/

Personally I haven't bothered with these kinds of things, I tend to
find they adjust things too extremely.  And a daylight blue screen at
midday indoors is too blue, anyway.  I adjust the normal colour
temperature of screens to not be so cold, at all times.

I think there's been some cold water thrown recently on the idea that
this kind of tweak has any actual effect on insomnia, but I'm no
expert.

I place no faith in that kind of thing helping insomnia, at all.  But
taking out the extreme blue can be easier on the eyes, in general.  For
me, at least, blue is the hardest colour for my eyes to focus on, so I
get less chromatic aberrations when it's reduced.  But I don't like
making things look abnormally amber.

I work in video production, and I still find most monitors are way too
blue.  The monitors look nothing like the thing in front of the camera,
even when lit with daylight.

Gnome integrated this in its own settings as a "Night Light" couple of 
years back and I am using that to satisfaction. But I assume it will not 
solve your issues on xfce ...

Does not affect my sleeping at all.   It does keep my eyes from burning after
working a lot of night hours.
