christos, in Youtube client that supports saving searches as a playlist?

This is a bash script I wrote:

https://gitlab.com/christosangel/magic-tape

As far as searches go:

  • s option: Search using a keyword/phrase
  • h option: Watch history
  • j option: Search history

If I understand correctly, in your case: let’s say you search for a term , i.e. vanillaOS. You will be able to select from a list of videos, with a preview image and other data ( data, views, channel etc). If on a later date you wish to search again for this term, by selecting the j option, you can easily repeat the same search, with any new videos available included.

Trent,

Ideally I’d like it as a playlist, sort of like youtube-tui’s library, but this seems like it might be a workable solution. Also, even if it turns out not to be, very nice script. I’ve always sucked terribly at bash scripting.

Passenger information systems in public transport. Some might run some kind of embedded windows, but most run on Linux. Certainly here in Czechia, but I believe it’s common at east throughout the Central Europe.

Remarkable eink tablets. Buried deep in the settings they actually give you the root password so you can SSH in. Also, it comes with an epic .vimrc file.

merc,

Kindles too. You can jailbreak them and get a shell. They’re so much more useful when they’re jailbroken. They can read multiple other formats, they can get books from a fileserver on your local network, the jailbroken reader app is better, etc.

OADINC,

Yeah, I’ve made a custom lock screen picture and uploaded it. I unfortunately have to redo it every update.

Also what is a .vimrc file?

everett, (edited )

Settings/customizations file for legendary text editor vim. Remarkable’s comes with a lot of stuff built-in.

The 50€ Patreon tier perks include “everything ad-free”. And there’s no repo or source available anywhere.

WTF

kzhe, (edited )

Weird, the video announcement states the software is FOSS. I think that’s regarding his YouTube content and not this stuff. The video also states github is wip

kzhe,

He’s Youtuber. Patreon gives his YouTube ad free. Repo is on its way according to video.

I use ytfzf to search/watch videos on YouTube, Peertube, Odysee.
It has several add-ons including one for playlists. I didn’t try it though.

The vast majority of the web, really.

Nearly all of AWS.

Cars. Either entertainment system or navigation or more…

BMW has quite the list of licences for opensource libraries and Linux in the about section of the car-menu.

And more and more network equipment.

Dirk,

So we can download the sources?

ozymandias117,

BMW requires you to go the written notice path and they send you a DVD with the sources

NuclearDolphin,

is this a joke? please tell me this is a joke

semperverus,

Its one of the oldest ways people disribute linux sources, and while it seems dumb, its actually good because regions with poor or no internet can also be served.

NuclearDolphin,

Poor global south nations graciously appreciating the source code for their BMWs. This seems closer to malicious compliance.

ozymandias117, (edited )

It’s not super horrible, and they’re meeting the requirements for GPLv2

I’d rather a git repo with history that can be cloned with physical media as a backup option

If you’re looking for a real bad one, Qualcomm has been trying to claim that their devicetree, which is equivalent to ACPI, and 100% necessary to boot anything is somehow “proprietary”

NuclearDolphin,

Yuck. I wish Qualcomm a very get fucked by RISC-V.

YouTube links are fine - I hate those stupid bots that spam posts about such links.

ScottE, in What are some interesting devices powered by Linux?

Pretty much everything that’s running on a microprocessor (i.e. larger than a microcontroller) and not from Microsoft or Apple.

Dehydrated, in What are some interesting devices powered by Linux?

All 3 billion Android devices in the world. It’s pretty crazy when you think about it. Also 96% of the top 1 million web servers and all of the 500 fastest super computers (excluding quantum) in the world.

69420,

What are the quantum computers running? Also, please tell me they can run Doom.

Rozauhtuno,
@Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

afaik quantum computers don’t run operative systems, they are programmed to do exactly one thing.

And no, they can’t run Doom.

Dehydrated, (edited )

If Doom can run on pregnancy tests and IKEA light bulbs, it must be possible to run it on the most advanced kind of computer known to mankind I guess

merc,

Quantum computers aren’t fast, they’re very slow.

Eventually, if things keep progressing, they’ll be able to do certain things like factoring primes faster than conventional computers. But, the clock rate will probably always be abysmal.

velox_vulnus, (edited ) in Evolve - A brand new GNOME Theme Manager

No repo? Welp, looks like I can’t package it for Nix.

kzhe,

According to video it’s wip/coming

IronSage, in Evolve - A brand new GNOME Theme Manager

Where’s the git repo?

kzhe,

According to video it’s wip/coming
