db2,

“the cleaners are coming” said literally nobody I know. Can’t relate to this at all.

db2,

All that hardware and then just… a chair.

db2,

I don’t know what It was expecting but it wasn’t quite that. I was initially going to make a crass joke but decided to read it before… now I don’t want to make the joke.

db2,

I would think “long term support” can also sometimes mean moving that support to a newer version, especially where it doesn’t break compatibility.

db2,

St Paul the fictional character or the real city?

db2,

Consider the ingredients to each component and tell me how this is different than a cookie. I’ll wait.

db2,

Check which version of ffmpeg it’s using and whether it has hardware acceleration for that codec.

Also bear in mind that you can’t hardware decode and hardware encode at the same time on the same device. If that’s what you’re trying to do it’s probably falling back on software silently in Windows instead of telling you.

db2,

Sadly we all know at least one person who would, with a straight face and not a hint of irony, proclaim this to be real. 🤦

db2,

Real Linux users use curl and render the page in their imagination.

TIFU by rebooting before rebuilding my initfs

I had a super fast but small SSD and didn’t know what to do with it, so I was playing with caching slow spinning LVM drives. It worked pretty good, but I got interrupted and came back a few weeks later to upgrade the OS. I forgot about the caching LVM, updated the packages in preparation for the OS upgrade, then rebooted.

db2,

Rescue disk 🤣 It’s hard enough to find a drive much less a disk.

Next time keep your old kernel around a while, you can always boot it to fix a goof instead of messing around with rescue images.

db2,

Use ffmpeg, -acodec copy -vcodec copy

db2,

I say it’s time for a new floor, that’s disgusting.

db2,

None. Blue would also have been canonically acceptable.

db2,

Basket Case is such an underrated series. 🙏

db2,

2 and 5 degrees what? Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, from top dead center, from Kevin Bacon? We need to know!

db2,

I don’t think a shower will be enough to ever get clean after a $10 encounter.

db2,

Just alias it in your .bashrc

alias yt-dlps=‘yt-dlp --sponsorblock-remove CATS --write-subs --write-thumbnail’

db2,

And it’s pretty ignorant. If it were a picture of the white house instead of who’s in it for a couple years then it wouldn’t be so dumb. Better would be a picture of Congress.

db2,

Is the implication that she’s only doing it because she’s bi?

Make Inkscape installed through Flatpak callable in the terminal as 'inkscape'?

I have a Python-package that calls Inkscape as part of a conversion process. I have it installed, but through Flatpak. This means that calling inkscape does not work in the terminal, but rather flatpak run org.inkscape.Inkscape. I need the package to be able to call it as inkscape....

db2,

A good argument against containerization of programs tbh.

db2, (edited )

Far more work than just acquiring a ready made one. It’s not worth your time to do all of them. Some so you can say you did it and know how, sure, but not all.

Exceptions are for anything you can’t find, of course.
