20gramsWrench,

I found youtube in particular to use very generic functionq that are used in other places so blocking something small ends up blocking other things, iirc from the long time ago that I wasn’t using piped, blocking youtube premium prompt broke comments or something along those lines

20gramsWrench,

only had the problem on youtube, I remember trying a lot of different elements to see how I could get around it

20gramsWrench,

you recalled correctly.

20gramsWrench,

find -exec is essential to process multiple files

7z handles wildcards inside a find -exec so you can save 200 lines of sh compliance

mpv plays online media since it uses yt-dlp

Linux for Microsoft Surface devices. It is reality! (cloudblogs.microsoft.com)

I would like to share with you a very cool project that develops drivers for correct operation of Microsoft Surface devices on Linux. I myself use Surface Pro 6 with these drivers and everything works like a charm (battery life is good, cameras work, stylus, keyboard, touchscreen, screen). The developers are gods. From myself, I...

oh lord that pic is unnerving

20gramsWrench,

you should set up some btrfs snapshots to avoid this feeling of wanting to jump ships when you mess everything up.

edit: I just checked the hyperland website, and damn that looks good… I might distro hop too

20gramsWrench,

Mint XFCE

20gramsWrench,

exactly the way I see it too it’s the lightest of the no compromise linux environement, after that you’re starting to see the gears

20gramsWrench,

vthreads

20gramsWrench,

that gba emulation though…

20gramsWrench,

and don’t forger for pwf before you rmfol to make sure you’re in the right place, alternatively you can also fol to see where you are

Is there any reason NOT to use openSUSE Tumbleweed as a desktop OS?

It seems like its a perfect distro. Rolling release so you get recent packages and dont have huge upgrades every few months, but not so bleeding edge that it breaks often. YaST is pretty cool but you are not forced to use it. Basic installation gives you enough essential stuff, but its not too bloated. The only thing its missing...

20gramsWrench,

you quickly feel like it’s not a distro for convenience but for enterprise productivity, yast is incredibly powerful and filled to the brim esoteric professionall options but little no no though for a casual experience, the repos don’t have much in the way of fun and are even software p*tent respecting meaning codecs and such need a separate config, the suse specific tools have their own theming , a lot of thing (like mounting luks volumes) require admin passwords… most of these can be remedied will a little tinkering but why bother when other distro are way simpler to tailor and already have a more comfortable experience out of the box

20gramsWrench,

I think we can all agree that using nix in no way prevents people from talking about it

[SOLVED] Steam Not starting on EndeavourOS/Arch

I’m getting a weird issue with steam on my desktop running endeavourOS with qtile, where steam starts and then immediately closes. I’ve been trying to figure out why this happens, but all of the solutions I could find from googling errors have said to uninstall xdg-desktop-portal or flatpak, but neither of those things...

20gramsWrench,

You know, archlinux has an install script that’s pretty easy to run nowadays, you should try it, that way you won’t feel the bitter taste of prior failures as strongly as you do now

Now, are we going take the initiative and place the flowerbed where it should be rather than where we were told to put it ?"

20gramsWrench,

it’s being disscused, they want to implement and “privacy respecting” telemetry

My brother in christ this is the link i.imgflip.com/676g72.jpg

20gramsWrench,

redwhat ?

20gramsWrench, (edited )

because they won’t need to maintain it, they won’t even need to maintain the dependencies, some guy online will maintain the package and it’s dependency for them, whether it’s updated or not, it’s going to launch, that’s the whole point of those style of packaging

20gramsWrench,

to be fair okular does have a k in it

20gramsWrench,

gaps

20gramsWrench,

you’ll be fine unless to share the drive, which makes me think, is there any ereader related communities around ?

20gramsWrench,

do you get any benefits from using callibre instead of just copying the files in a folder ? I used to do it but found it way more convenient to just copy them directly since callibre doesn’t create collections

20gramsWrench,

ah, never really needed since I read mostly manga, I just convert all the pages to the right resolution and put them in a cbz

20gramsWrench,

kobo’s have such a high res display i’m usually inclined to run all pages though waifu2x and then downsize them to the exact res of the display to get maximum sharpness, otherwise it’s either slightly blurry because the source was too small or it’s slow in page turning because the pages were too big, that and changing the contrast of the pages so that the darkest color is black and the lightest white, also gets rid of jpeg noise

20gramsWrench,

NixOS will make you cofee every morning, fix your car, make your waifu real and establish a long lasting commune system in your country of residence.

20gramsWrench,

Did you know, the famous shot of lemmings falling of a cliff in the documentary that started the ideas that lemmings will just die following their peers off a cliff was actually a bunch of documentary makers pushing a bunch of lemming off of it to make a cool shot and not actual lemmings behavior ? You probably did actually…

20gramsWrench,

All that matters is that you’re on linux, unless you use gnome.
