Just yesterday I started watching a new anime on Netflix which is about cooking food from the monsters killed in a dungeon.

Is there such a thing as split-screen grep?

I want to run a command and see all of its output on the left hand side, while simultaneously searching/grepping for particular lines on the right hand side. In other words, I want a temporary vertically split screen in my CLI, ideally with scrollback on each side of the split, but where I expect the left hand side to be...

I usually solve this kind of problem by piping to less or a logfile and then just searching in there. You can get it to refresh new content by pressing the End key twice. Or maybe less just needs the -f flag or something similar. I’m too lazy to look it up.

I like it to keep track of communities that don’t have enough members here to be very active. I don’t participate in the discussions, but it’s good in case some news come out that I would miss otherwise.

Lemmit.online is also good, because it actually lets you know that it’s mirroring reddit. There was another instance that was mirroring reddit including comments, without any indication. I started “participating” in the discussions until I caught on to the fact that I wasn’t getting any answers or up- or downvotes because it was just full of bots. It soon landed on my blacklist.

Problem while trying to setup an instance (lemmy.world)

Hello! I’m currently in the process of seting up an instance (for personal use, testing some stuff). I ran into this issue and while I did find some threads about it, they were not conected to Lemmy and I don’t have any ideas how to solve it myself. For context -> i’m trying to set up the instance on a remote device,...

Did you look at lemmy.yml, line 208 like the error message says?

My favourite book is Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. My edition has a foreword about how Lewis Carroll wasn’t really a pedophile. He just had so many pictures of naked kids, spent so much time with them and wanted to marry the real Alice while she was young solely because he had soooo much love for children. Not in a creepy way at all. No no, not at all creepy.

That’s about to change any day now, as soon as Winds of Winter is released. Any day now.

With all the added endings soon the end will be longer than the game. But I’m not complaining.

Yeah, got to lay down the foundations for the perfect head shot down the line.

Strange, we usually have them by the toilet.

should my next browser installed be Microsoft Edge?? (lemmy.world)

I have installed the big 2 browsers on my Ubuntu!! I love them!! I use Google Chrome more of course n.n but I was wondering if I should get Edge now, I like the cute design + AI integration, but I don’t think it’s necessary because I already have Chromium, which is just the baseline for Edge, but still it could be a nice...

Just install all the browsers your software center has to offer.

Hey, I’m fat and disabled. It just takes a bit longer.

Thinkpads RE: Repairability/upgradability

I need to upgrade my laptop and one of the things I’m looking for is repairability/upgradability. I’ve been told thinkpads are good in this respect, how true is that? In terms of replacing batteries and memory, at least. I’m also looking at the frameworks, but those black friday deals are looking alright at lenovo....

I have a T580 with nVidia graphics. Repairability is great. You can find a manual with step-by-step instructions for every part online.

But the thermals in that thing are awful. Especially on Linux and doubly so with the GPU. It has some stupid on-lap detection which heavily throttles the system to not burn the user. Up until a few years ago there wasn’t a driver for Linux so it always defaulted to on-lap-mode. But even worse, the GPU has some hardcoded 70° limit and it throttles down to the lowest clockrate when it reaches that. And it reaches that quickly because CPU and GPU share a heatpipe.

Nowadays I just run it on the integrated Intel graphics on Wayland and it’s great. But it would be cool if I could use the GPU that is at least theoretically able to run Doom 2016 at 30 fps. But practically it struggles with Quake 3.

It’s just a shame that you probably won’t know about these kinds of problems on a new laptop because people only notice them after a few months to years.

The bullshit people believe. They are so deluded that they don’t even notice that the chemtrail switch is in the off-position.

Look at 4chan to see how that works out. Almost no moderation there and it turned into a right wing bastion. Pretty far from anarchy, if you ask me.

I feel like it’s kind of the same in other meme communities like 9gag and reddit. Reposts upon reposts upon reposts, with the occasional funny new thing.

Topical meme communities are sometimes a bit better with this.

I know it’s a joke and all that. But do people really not get the line? I mean, sometimes it’s hard to grasp the lyrics of rap songs, especially when they’re rapping so fast and using obscure metaphors and references. But this one is delivered quite calmly and could be taken quite literally.

That’s due to Special Relativity. Of course, some people are relatively more special.

Ask someone with CFS/ME. This should have been common knowledge for about half a century or so.
