the answer for “what can unpack this archive” is pretty much always: bsdtar from libarchive

edit: sorry, I can’t read. libarchive unfortunately can’t write RAR archives.

2xsaiko, to asklemmy in What's a great podcast you'd like to share?
@2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Malevolent!

Plot summary:

Arkham Private Investigator Arthur Lester wakes up with no memory of who he is or what has happened, only a nameless, eerie voice guiding him through the darkness.

Blind, terrified, and confused, his journey will lead him towards a series of mysteries in the hopes of understanding the truth of what has transpired.

As cosmic horrors seep into the world around, Arthur must ask himself whether this entity truly seeks to help him, or are its intentions more…

Malevolent

It uses the podcast medium so well with the main character being blind and the resulting dialogue between him and the voice in his head that he needs to see the world around him, like the listener, and in general is incredibly well written. Harlan Guthrie is a genius.

Seconding what others have already said. You should ABSOLUTELY NOT directly back up /var/lib/postgresql if that’s what you’re doing right now. Instead, use pg_dump: www.postgresql.org/docs/current/backup-dump.html

This should also give you smaller and probably more compressible backup sizes.

2xsaiko, to linux in Looking for input regarding finding an IDE (spoilers: involves Emacs and Vim)
@2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Could you perhaps give some examples so that I can better understand/grasp why you feel that’s the case?

Hmm, one I guess is that it is not “permanent” and deactivates after one command (in Kakoune, you have to explicitly do ‘;’ to collapse the selection to its end (which you can flip with the start using ‘alt+;’) or move around without extending the selection). That’s really the only thing I can think of at the moment and I feel like often it really doesn’t matter tbh, so maybe I was just talking out of my ass there a bit lmao.

Apparently you can quickly reselect it in vim with ‘gv’ though, which I never checked until now. That’s useful to know.

One thing I’m really missing from vim though is that it can list directories, has a hex editor, and can read a bunch of other file formats. I think it can even edit remote files over sftp, but maybe I’m confusing that with Emacs. Kakoune just does local text files (though you can of course do stuff like ‘%|xxd’ to pipe the file through xxd to get a hex view, edit and then ‘%|xxd -r’ and save but that feels very very sketchy).

I kinda do for how ubiquitous Vim keybindings are.

Yeah, that’s a great reason to stick with it. It’s unfortunate that nothing really has Kakoune bindings other than Kakoune.

I think preference is generally subjective.

Of course, I know preference is subjective. That’s why I didn’t say “it’s better” :P Could very well be that vim works better for you.

The big reason I like them more is the concept of selections. Basically instead of a cursor you have a set of selections with start and end position (which could be the same position for a normal cursor), instead of having the object to delete as a parameter. For example, to delete two words it’s ‘d2w’ in vim, while it’s ’2wd’ in Kakoune. And after you type the ‘2w’, the selection shows what you’re about to delete, because it’s a separate command. It’s more useful when you’re operating on larger blocks of text, of course, or chain multiple commands together to create the selection you want. Sure, you can use visual mode in vim but it feels like an afterthought in a lot of ways.

I’ve already mentioned it but you can also have multiple selections at the same time, which I don’t think vim really does (I could be wrong though). This makes bulk operations really easy since they work exactly the same as operations on a single selection. For example, if you want to prepend let’s say “foo” to the next 10 lines, in Kakoune it would be ‘9CIfoo<esc>’ where C creates a selection one line under the current one, and I works the same as in vim. I believe you’d have to use macros for that in vim, something like ‘qqIfoo<esc>jq9@q’.

Those two are I think the main reasons I like Kakoune.

Doesn’t that disrupt muscle memory?

I haven’t really had problems with it, at least. Maybe because I’ve used vim for a long time before Kakoune. TBH I also don’t really use vim a lot anymore except on one remote machine that isn’t mine.

As you’ve touched upon it; Helix’ keybindings and ‘sentence-structures’ are different to those found on Vi(m).

Unless you really want vim bindings, try them out. At least Helix is based on the Kakoune editing model which is the editor I use, and I much prefer the way Kakoune works over vim, while still being close enough so that you can pick it up quickly if you already know vim and the other way around.

2xsaiko, to lemmyshitpost in Very free hosting for only $22.95
@2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Does that mean free if you bring your own domain but $22.95/mo if you let them register a domain? Love that 2500% markup.

It is NFS4:

I have 9.3. It works for me on a local file system on the client as well as the server, just not through NFS.

2xsaiko, to asklemmy in What companies have made your blacklist?
@2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Google, should be self explanatory, but for me specifically for pretty much making YouTube worse with every change they make since that’s the only service of them I still use. And I’m not going to also pay them to sell my data.

Epic Games, for continuously fucking over Linux players and Unreal fans (and well players in general but specifically those two groups).

This is rather a replay of the past ~two months since I’ve switched to Apple Music sometime in September, but here!

(For some reason Apple Music has two artist profiles of Ember Falls, that’s why they’re there twice)

I used the beta UI for a while and imo the new one is worse since it brings backs some of the old UI (i.e. the 1:1 port of the desktop UI for the server sidebar). What they had in the beta UI for server selection was so much better
