nawordar,

I thought for a minute that Linux now panics when trying to play DRM’d content

nawordar,

I don’t know about its derivatives, but Mandriva had something similar.

nawordar,

More like Interface

nawordar,

LaTeX and ConTeXt are both macros for TeX. LyX is a graphical editor which outputs LaTeX.

nawordar,

I didn’t see it until I read your comment

nawordar,

Actually, PulseEffects has been renamed into EasyEffects and is PipeWire only now

nawordar,
  • Fish. Much, much saner defaults.
  • I am writing #!/usr/bin/env sh for dead simple scripts, so they will be a tiny bit more portable and run a tiny bit faster. The lack of arrays causes too much pain in longer scripts. I would love to use Fish, but it lacks a strict mode.
  • No, why would I?
  • I used to share all my dotfiles, scripts included, but I was too afraid that I would publish some secrets someday, so I stopped doing that. For synchronizing commands, aliases and other stuff between computers I use Chezmoi.
  • To use Fish instead of fighting with start up time of Zsh with hundreds of plugins
  • Always use the so-called “strict mode” in Bash, that is, the set -euo pipefail line. It will make Bash error on non-zero exit code, undefined variables and non-zero exit codes in commands in pipe. Also, always use shellcheck. It’s extremely easy to make a mistake in Bash. If you want to check the single command exit code manually, just wrap it in set +e and set -e.
  • Consider writing your scripts in Python. Like Bash, it also has some warts, but is multiplatform and easy to read. I have a snippet which contains some boilerplate like a main function definition with ArgumentParser instantiated. Then at the end of the script the main function is called wrapped in try … except KeyboardInterrupt: exit(130) which should be a default behavior.
  • Absolutely not a bad practice. If you need to use them on a remote server and can’t remember what they stand for, you can always execute type some_command. Oh, and read about abbreviations in Fish. It always expands the abbreviation, so you see what you execute.
nawordar,

I don’t have the “Used space” column, probably because I have quota disabled. I managed to find out using btdu, that the snapshot 1137 takes ~8.3 GiB.

I cannot delete it using that command, because it is marked with “+” which means it is the “btrfs default subvolume”, according to snapper manual. I wonder if there is still a way to get rid of it.

nawordar,

Fighting with flying robots who are protecting supposedly scarce and valuable resources that are in fact not worth a dime, restore after a few minutes and are only needed for quests

nawordar,

Mine has a little crooked eyes and a wrinkled finish at the bottom, but at least he looks like no other :).

BTW did we use the same pattern?

A picture of a Ferris plushie

nawordar,

Yes, it was my first time doing something like this :D

nawordar,

No, I think they meant that you get better resource usage when you install an app as a Flatpak instead of a system package. You get the same benefit in a traditional distro too, if you use Flatpaks, it’s just that immutable distros kind of force you to use them.

nawordar,

Does it work on Wayland?

Installing nvidia driver installs a new kernel [SOLVED, LOOK IN THE COMMENTS]

When installing the proprietary nvidia driver recommended by the the official debian page for Debian Bookwork, apt seems to want to install a new kernel. I actually did this before (since this is my second time installing debian on here) and this new kernel messes with the display server somehow, disabeling all monitors but one,...

nawordar,

Don’t use the NVIDIA installer, as it conflicts with the package manager. Use the nvidia-kernel-dkms package from the official Debian repository
