It’s in the internet! This HAS to be true.

I’m running Hyprland on my Intel laptop without any issues (but I’m doing not much multimedia on it). But on my Nvidia desktop, oh no. Screen recording is flakey (especially with multiple sources and audio recording to different channels) in OBS, video editing impossible due to heavy UI flickering, gaming has worse performance, watching YouTube has noticable lag.

For just opening your browser and doing non-multimedia stuff it’s fine I guess.

So we can download the sources?

Alternative github frontends?

Github has become more bloated, slower and more user-hostile with each update (just like all other big corp platforms). SPA navigation slow like hell, the “new” file viewer/browser is hardly usable in my opinion, code search does not work without login, etc. So are there any good alternative FE where the following work (read...

+1 for Forgejo. Runs butter smooth even on not so high-end machines. You can even mirror your GitHub repos.

Plus: It is not owned by a for-profit organization.

iit’s just a new keycap

Plus the configuration that is needed to remap the key back to the correct key code.

Like with the Windows key, this won’t be an option.

I simply play music using mpv.

What's the best way to have a .bashrc that I can use throughout systems?

So, I just found out about a programme called SynthShell which kind of does the work for you and gives you a nice looking shell, the thing is that this also creates some config files and other stuff in my system, instead of just one .bashrc file to edit. What would be the best way to learn to have a nice looking bash where I can...

I personally use yadm

I just use some code and Git.


<span style="color:#323232;">if [ ! -z "$PS1" ]; then
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    repo="${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/dotfiles/"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    br='origin/main'
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    title="e[1me[31mn ░▒▓e[7m    %s    e[27m▓▒░e[0mnn%snn"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    status="$(git --git-dir="$repo" --work-tree="$HOME" status -s)"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    diff=$(git --git-dir="$repo" --work-tree="$HOME" diff --stat --cached $br)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    [ -n "$status" ] && printf "$title" "Uncommited changes!" "$status"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    [ -n "$diff" ] && printf "$title" "Not yet pushed commits!" "$diff"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    unset title status diff br
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    alias dotfiles="/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$repo --work-tree=$HOME"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">fi
</span>

The code runs when it’s an interactive shell with a PS1 prompt and just checks if any of the tracked files have changed or if there are commits that are not pushed. By configuration I ignore all untracked files. If something has changed or wasn’t pushed it always prints an annoying message.

Whenever I want to do something I use dotfiles … instead of git …, everything else works the same.

I recently just cleanly got out of Facebook after a decade.

Deleted all my comments, all my media and all my posts, and left all groups and unfriended everyone, then changed my name and my URL and finally disabled/deleted my account.

I don’t miss anything.

On my computer I also use X with my perfect Openbox setup.

I tried Hyprland and labwc but both failed miserably. None of my main tasks worked properly. I could not screen record (yes, I’ve read all the tutorials and tried to do it but OBS simply did not find any screens or windows to record) and Kdenlive just flickers with white and black bars and areas (it actually crashed so hard that it destroyed my config and I need to re-setup it under X11). YouTube had noticeably worse performance and video quality. Also: Gaming was basically impossible (not starting at all or extremely worse performance - and yes, I’ve read the tutorials on this, too).

All of this may be due to the fact that I have an Nvidia card in my computer. But I’m not going to replace perfectly fine working hardware just because my display manager does not support it properly (which is entirely Nvidias fault, but still) so I stick with X11 until my graphics card needs to be replaced.

On my laptop I run Hyprland without any issues except one, but on my laptop I don’t do screen recording or watch 4K videos or do video editing or do gaming. For this use case it’s very well suited.

Wayland may be ready for certain environments/tasks, but in my opinion X11 is just much more compatible with anything.

a markup language describes a structure (how is the thing supposed to be displayed)

A markup language does not define how something is to be displayed, that’s what a styling language is for (usually CSS). A markup language semantically defines what certain parts of the created document are.

That’s the problem with “corporate Linux”[^1]. They see their users as customers only.

Skeletons are pretty cool though.

Then you might be excited to hear that there is at least one skeleton inside your body for your whole life.
