abcde uses whatever current codecs you have installed, it doesn’t do any of its own encoding

“not everything is fully ported yet”

“There will probably be an awkward period before all of these pieces are in place for all of the people.”

I think these are the two key takeaways – Wayland is still in development and the bandwagoning are the early adopters – most of us will switch when our distros switch (and will probably be none the wiser)

the problems (and the reason we’re suffering through sensationalist stuff like “Wayland breaks everything!”) is the fanboy push to switch before it’s ready – not everybody lives on the bleeding edge (just like not everyone runs Arch) and the “switch now or be left behind” attitude does more harm than good (far more likely to alienate than convert) …

What search engine do you recommend that isn't Google or Bing?

I’m still trying to de-Google my life, little by little. I don’t trust Bing for similar reasons. DDG is feeling shady of late. What’s the search engine you all recommend that I can inject into my daily life? Is there perhaps a search engine that is focused on code, or have we just all moved on to AI for searching?...

Random SearX Redirector – basically just that, sends your search to a random working SearXNG instance

even simpler – Firefox will auto-detect a lot of search engines – right-click in the search/address bar and if Firefox can detect it, bottom option will be to add that engine to your list

Is there any way to flag OC lemmy/fediverse posts? Maybe an optional checkbox "OC lemmy/fediverse content" or something that marks the post with an OC badge or something similar?

I have the impression that the lion’s share of all posts on Lemmy are reposts or screenshots from other platforms. I don’t mean links to other sites of course, after all Lemmy is a Reddit clone and thus a link aggregator. I just think that Lemmy can’t survive if there is no way to make people aware that a particular post...

as you said, Lemmy is a link aggregator – you post your original content to Pixelfed or Peertube or Funkwhale or Pleroma or Mastodon or a dozen other services and post the link to Lemmy with “[OC]” in the title as @can said

  • “none of the major communies have that hint in their description”
    • because the “[OC]” convention predates Lemmy by a LONG shot (easily predates Reddit as well)
  • “I have not seen [OC] on any post in /memes”
    • any of the c/memes communities are not going to be focusing (or care) about original content – and since most memes are closer to the Ship of Theseus (or more accurately, layered palimpsests), it’s hard to call it OC – the current poster would be closer to a conductor or a DJ than to a creator …

What's an elegant way of automatically backing up the contents of a large drive to multiple smaller drives that add up to the capacity of the large drive? (on Linux)

So I have a nearly full 4 TB hard drive in my server that I want to make an offline backup of. However, the only spare hard drives I have are a few 500 GB and 1 TB ones, so the entire contents will not fit all at once, but I do have enough total space for it. I also only have one USB hard drive dock so I can only plug in one...

sounds like your main limitation is attaching the drives – if you can attach them all to a single system (ex. a separate computer or a NAS case) then at least it becomes somewhat easier to access them all at once

I was thinking JBOD but Wikipedia points out the same issue you mention with RAID 0, failure of one drive can mess up the logical volume which leads to a whole host of new issues to deal with during recovery

  • a big feature of tiling window managers is the auto-placement / auto-adjustment / auto-sizing of windows to fit available space
    • their main focus is always having everything visible (nothing hidden behind overlaps)
    • and most of them take advantage of having a good set of keybinds so everything can be keyboard driven rather than half-and-half with a mouse
  • before jumping feet first into tiling window managers, get an easy introduction with
    • Pop Shell – an extension that adds tiling features to Gnome
    • PaperWM adds linear tiling to Gnome
    • Material Shell – focusing on a more grid based workspace model
  • DistroTube argued that the killer feature of tiling window managers is the workspaces, not the tiling
  • check through the hotkeys of your current window manager – you won’t get the full dynamic features of a tiling window manager, but most of them have keys for snapping windows to top-half, bottom-half, left-half, right-half (as well as sometimes offering by quarter as well)
