Bronco1676, to memes in There's some kind of use for this lighter I can't put my finger on...

For a second, I thought Lemmy had advertisements now.

I have the s10+ and it’s actually useful, as you can remap the double click on that button to open any app you like. But yeah single click, never happened intentionally.

EDIT: F yeah, I just checked the settings and you can decide if you want bixby activation on single or double-click. Now I’ve set bixby to double click and on single-click it opens my password manager. If you don’t select anything, it will do nothing on a single click.

The setting is under “Advanced Features” -> “Bixby Key” for me.

Not personalized. But what I personally use from time to time is the invidious popular feed, some invidious instances have the popular feed turned on, which shows popular videos streamed on that instance.

Instance list: docs.invidious.io/instances/

Example instance: vid.puffyan.us/feed/popular

Why would your timezone change while using a VPN?

This sounds like your clock may be out of sync?

Have a look at timesyncd wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd-timesyncd#Usage

Weird and what’s in it?

Open with a text editor or execute cat /etc/localtime

What does realpath /etc/localtime say?

Indeed, yay utilizes the AUR, which essentially serves as a Git repository for each package. These repositories typically include a PKGBUILD file and a .SRCINFO file, along with possible additional files like patches, desktop, or service files.

For example, take a look at IntelliJ Ultimate: [aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/?h=intellij-i…]. It contains the .SRCINFO and PKGBUILD, as well as a .desktop file. These files themselves do not occupy much space.

The PKGBUILD specifies the sources for dependencies. For instance:


<span style="color:#323232;">source=("https://download.jetbrains.com/idea/ideaIU-$pkgver.tar.gz"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        "jetbrains-idea.desktop")
</span>

The PKGBUILD is essentially a Bash script with predefined functions and variables. You can learn more about it here: [wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD].

This script primarily downloads and extracts the tar file. In this specific case, it only relocates the files to their intended installation locations, like moving the desktop file to /usr/share/applications.

With such packages, there’s a possibility of wasting significant space since the tar file is downloaded and possibly retained in the cache.

However, other packages, especially those compiled from source, usually involve Git clones. These clones bring the Git repository into a subdirectory of the already cloned AUR package Git repo. Some might also have source tarballs. These types of packages generally do not consume much space in the cache, as they are often just text files, like C source code or Python scripts. These packages frequently rely on external libraries and packages, which are not included in this package’s cache.

While binary packages often bundle all necessary libraries and other components in their source tarballs.

The AUR cache is mostly beneficial if you’re rebuilding the same version or can reuse components from a previous version. For example, a package might depend on a large, static file that doesn’t change often.

In Paru, I’ve enabled the “CleanAfter” option to prevent my cache from overflowing. Given my relatively fast internet speed, redownloading large files isn’t a major concern for me.

You should run yay -Sc from time to time. This cleans a) your pacman cache (which is normally done by executing pacman -Sc) b) your AUR build cache, which is what’s taking up 160GB. But this one seems rather unusual, I use paru (which also has the command paru -Sc), so I can’t really tell if this is normal with yay.

The command also asks you for every directory if you want to delete it or not, so it’s completely save to run that command.

It’s delivered quietly, so that should be okay

Running ncdu on it would’ve been cool to see.
