bartolomeo, (edited ) in File transfer to USB drive fails after 4.3 gb

Edit: nevermind, apparently I was wrong.

xkforce,

Theyd need a ntfs driver to do anything. If you try to do what you are suggesting without one, bad things happen. Unless that part of the partition isn’t ntfs formatted.

For real? Even just cp?

xkforce,

We have a specific driver for reading and writing to ntfs for a reason.

bartolomeo,
@bartolomeo@suppo.fi avatar

What’s the reason? Honest question.

xkforce,

Why do you think anyone bothered to write a ntfs driver if you could read and write to ntfs without it? Why do you think windows cant read ext4? What do you think file systems are?

I know where you’re coming from.

The best way to be happy is to be kind. Seriously, just try it and come to your own conclusion. It works way better than trying to extract satisfaction from life, which actually just creates more dissatisfaction.

bluestarshield,

Sorry if it’s a noob question, but isn’t a live session something you do with a USB stick without installing? The file is currently on the Mint install I used to torrent it, along with my other daily-driver things.

NeoNachtwaechter,

isn’t a live session something you do with a USB stick

Or, something you do with a fit Latvian girl…

bluestarshield,

Man, those guys who down voted you have no sense of humor. You made a sex joke in response to my video game piracy joke!

Give a man a regular expression and he’ll match a string… teach him to make his own regular expressions and you’ve got a man with problems. – yakugo in regex.info/blog/2006-09-15/247#comment-3022 (and yes, it is http:// never https:// for this domain)

harsh3466,

Guess I’ve got problems!

mcepl, in How can I migrate my existing /home/ directory to another drive?
@mcepl@lemmy.world avatar
  1. Many Linux installers can preserve /home when asked nicely.
  2. (as root) rsync -avz /home/youruser/ other-machine:/home/

harsh3466,

That looks like a great way to practice

adespoton,

It’s definitely a way to get your regex-fu to the next level, especially if you have people to compete against.

harsh3466,

Oh gosh. There are regex competitions out there, aren’t there.

adespoton,

Yup, including for the largest “in production” regular expression….

MangoKangaroo, in MacOS Accessibility Cursor

Beyond what people have posted, I also believe I saw something about GNOME planning to implement something like this soon™️

satans_crackpipe, in Why do you use the terminal?

Because I don’t use desktop environments.

Tiling wm or cli only, Satan’s crackpipe?

@Kushia@lemmy.ml avatar

You use it because you like to be efficient your use of a computer.

I use it because I’m a bossy arsehole and I like telling things precisely what to do.

We are not the same.

phoenixz, in Why do you use the terminal?

Because I can do things in 30 seconds what two windows admins take 15 minutes to do with their point and clicking. Not even making this up, this happened.

megaman, in Why do you use the terminal?

Every time I touch the mouse i get a little more elbow pain. Tendens or whatever. The keyboard (an ergonomic one, at least) is more ergonomic.

hips_and_nips, (edited )

I built a split ergonomic keyboard with a trackball on it so I never have to leave.

Without regards about this discussion, run, don’t just go, and buy a vertical mouse. Just saved my wrists.

Is there a peertube bot? 😅

simple,
@simple@lemmy.world avatar

Dunno, but I suppose you can use piped: piped.video/watch?v=98kFh3JpIXk

juli, (edited )

Thx, I don’t need piped, I use a vpn

Flaky,
@Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

I don’t think PeerTube would work here, unless you mean a bot that posts PeerTube stuff from certain channels every so often.

There is a bot around here that converts YouTube links to Piped ones.

juli, (edited )

Haha, I just mean a bot that posts the peertube link instead of youtube just like the piped bot. It was a joke but it would be cool if there was one - but it should remind OP to post on peertube as well - probably a bad idea! 😅

grue,

There is no such thing as “the peertube link” (emphasis added) because (a) as with Lemmy, there is no single canonical Peertube instance, and (b) unlike Piped etc., Peertube isn’t designed to mirror Youtube, but instead be its own platform.

In other words, in order to post a Peertube link, somebody would have to explicitly choose to upload the Youtube video to a specific Peertube instance and then post the link to that.

This might be what you’re looking for. Here is a YouTube video tutorial.

For style points at the office.

GentriFriedRice, in Why do you use the terminal?

Otherwise I’d have to install a gui

Rikj000, in Why do you use the terminal?
@Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Terminal still has use-cases imo:

  • Some programs only offer CLI, no GUI,
    to use them, the terminal is the only way.
  • Sometimes it’s faster to use CLI instead of GUI, especially when you can use your command history to re-execute.
  • Testing single lines of scripts while writing them.
pete_the_cat, in Why do you use the terminal?

It’s more efficient, and for years (actually like a decade) it was the primary way of interfacing with a computer.
