Try something like IFS=‘|’ read f1 f2 < <(zenity <…>) where f1, f2 etc. are variable names.

is there a foss project to automatically sort files

do you know that minecraft mod that autosorts your inventory? is there are project that can autosort a messy file system and put all of your files of a similar nature into a well organised, well named order. obviously this would require ai that could do image, language, and audio recognition but is there anything in the works? i...

bizdelnick, (edited )

Such AI can be coded in <100 lines shell script. One of simplest implementations:


<span style="color:#323232;">#!/bin/bash
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">find . -type f -print0 | while IFS= read -d $'
bizdelnick,

You always need it and you actually use it. The smarter question is when you need to customize its settings. Defaults are robust enough, so unless you know what and why you need to change, you don’t.

  1. It is FOSS while GitLab EE is not.
  2. It supports a lot of atifact repository formats while GitLab only docker registry.
  3. It is a non-commercial project.
bizdelnick,

Thank you I missed when they added this. I only track a very old FR for rpm support and was sure that situation is similar with other repos. However gitea/forgejo supports more formats including rpm.

bizdelnick,

You don’t need to distro hop to try different DEs.

There’s no enough information to understand what Wi-Fi adapter you have and what driver is used. Show us lspci -knn

bizdelnick,

Some? It was more than 10 years ago iirc.

bizdelnick,

I remember much earlier announces.

bizdelnick,

What I remembered was abandoning Linux NPAPI Flash plugin in 2012. The PPAPI plugin indeed existed for longer time.

bizdelnick,

LOL they’ll do nothing as usual. Probably they will apply security patches if someone submit them, but I’m unsure.

bizdelnick,

It does not even provide security fixes to unpayed users for two years. Except for few “base” packages. BTW is php a “base” package in ubuntu?

bizdelnick,

Any reason to register an account instead of installing Debian?

bizdelnick,

10-12 years of support attract only those who think they will never need to update. I don’t think so and I update to each released version, each ~2 years. I know that skipping a release is not supported in any distribution. And update cost grows exponentially over time. So thank you, but I don’t need a support for longer than 3 or 4 years. But for that period I want to have security updates for all software I installed, not only “base”. And I want to get them from public repositories hosted on independent mirrors to be sure that I wont be banned by vendor for some reason.

As for additional support, I don’t need it. I can solve my problems myself and do if faster than Canonical would do. And not only my problems. I also contribute to open source software and I want my contributions to be available to anyone, not only those who pay for support to some company that I have no relationship with.

bizdelnick, (edited )

There’s no need to register an account with Ubuntu at all. You have no idea what you’re talking about. You don’t need a pro license to get updates for an LTS for 5 years of support. The “base packages” are both the “main” and “restricted” repositories - it isn’t just a few “core libraries” as you seem to think.

Really? So why does apt tell me that I need <some blabla that usually means “give us your money”, don’t remember exact wording> to get updates for more packages than it has downloaded each time I run apt update? I have latest LTS (22.04) on my laptop. Maybe you have no idea what you are talking about? I could get any updates until recent (year or two? I use that laptop only occasionally, so I don’t remember the exact time), but now it is clear that Canonical goes the same way as RedHat/IBM.

I would guess that it’s the same though - “main” repository is what they cover. Similar to Ubuntu.

You are wrong because Debian’s main is not similar to Ubuntu. Debian has no universe repo, all FOSS packages go to main.

I would provide an info about a problem if I asked for help. But I don’t need any help, I know the solution.

bizdelnick,

End user shouldn’t care what PL the software is written in. Their advantages and disadvantages are meaningful for developers only.

bizdelnick,

What do you mean by editing DHCP? Having a static IP address means you don’t need DHCP at all.

bizdelnick,

Autocrap is a bloated obsolete stuff that is mostly replaced with other tools like cmake or meson. There’s no need to learn it today.

bizdelnick,

Maybe. But maybe they did nothing because there was no ./configure script and you had to use another tool, e. g. one of that I mentioned, so you need to learn another shit.

BTW installing anything from source like this is the right way only in (B)LFS.

But you definitely don’t need to learn this if you are a developer and starting a new project in 2024. You can use cmake or write plain makefiles, even shell scripts if you want, but as you value life or your reason keep away from the autotools. It is a nightmare to debug thousands lines of scripts they generate and put into your source tree.

bizdelnick,

If the license you use is reallu permissive, it does not forbid the change to more restricted (copyleft). You also can use separate licences for code and resourses.

bizdelnick,

Any distro you are comfortable with.

How do I see what pid/process has modified a linux routing table?

Anyone know how to see what pid/process has modified a linux routing table (specifically on Ubuntu )? I have an interesting problem where a route that I have created has been deleted over time, but can’t figure out what. I’ve tried rtmon but seems to only show timestamps of the adds/deletes

bizdelnick,

I guess it can be NetworkManager if it is used to configure the interface but the route is added manually.

bizdelnick, (edited )

There’s nothing special, it can be replaced with any TOTP/HOTP implementation. In particular, oathtool is supplied in most distros (it has only command line interface, probably there are also some GUI tools in your repos). However it does not support JSON key format that is provided as QR code for mobile 2FA apps. You have to copy and paste values from it manually.

However this will likely violate your employer’s security policy. The point of 2FA is that secret key is stored on a separate device, so that it cannot be stealed together with your password.

I recommend to try other Android apps on your phone. I use FreeOTP+ and have no problems with font readability. Some of my collegues use AndOTP and like it.

bizdelnick,

I don’t recommend using anything new to you unless you are ready to learn it. If you are, welcome aboard!

bizdelnick,

the .deb file would be the equivalent of an .exe file on Windows

Not .exe. If you want to find an equivalent, .msi is the closest.
