rtxn, to linux in Recommend me a graphical text editor that can deal with multiple workspaces (or lets you specify instance)

If you open Emacs in daemon+client mode (run emacs --daemon once, then emacsclient to open the window), buffers that you open in one client will be available on all other clients, even concurrently. Judging from a quick test (on hyprland), it also seems to open the file in the client located on the focused screen, but does not automatically open a new client if there is one already running on any screen.

rtxn, to lemmyshitpost in The true way

…and never talk about what happened in the girls’ bathroom in a Polish school.

rtxn, to linuxmemes in Your ads dont work here, brand!

Privacy Badger, if you want to try to reduce your tracking data.

Privacy Possum, if you want to send bullshit tracking data to cost companies money.

rtxn, to lemmyshitpost in Try it

The two are not mutually exclusive.

Windows user: a stovetop percolator because they’ve had it forever and the coffee it makes is perfectly fine!

(Narrator voice: it’s not perfectly fine, the coffee is bitter and burned).

rtxn, to asklemmy in Other than Lemmy, what are you doing tonight?

Writing my letter of resignation, developing a Blender extension, and watching a streamer play Control (specifically the ashtray maze) for the first time.

rtxn, to selfhosted in Can I build a NAS out of a desktop? [Request]

Absolutely anything can be turned into a NAS, as long as you’re aware of your own needs and the hardware’s capabilities. A NAS is just a computer with some specific requirements.

When I first built my NAS, it only used parts that I got for free. A cheap micro ATX board with only two RAM slots, an i3-4160 CPU, 2x2G RAM, a worn-out SSD, and a 1T HDD. It couldn’t run something like TrueNAS, but it was enough for Proxmox and some Alpine containers running services like Samba, Transmission, Wireguard, and a small Debian VM for me to fuck around with. The single storage disk means there is no redundancy, so I only store replaceable data on it, like TV shows and installers.

There are many hardware-focused channels on video platforms that offer guides for budget home servers. Wolfgang’s Channel is good, and Hardware Haven and Raid Owl just finished a competition of building a sub-$200 home lab.

rtxn, to linux in Why didn't anyone remind me the dual booting exists?

Taskmgr will literally list that the OS is running in a VM. You don’t need a rootkit to detect it.

rtxn, to asklemmy in What are Lemmy's unwritten rules?

But how will people know I use arch btw?

rtxn, to asklemmy in What are Lemmy's unwritten rules?

The end boss is swallowing your pride and installing Debian.

rtxn, to asklemmy in whats going on with the 'tankie' thing

really mean commie

I never said they were communists. They are simply fascists who think they’re communists, or that their values align with communism. That’s why I’ve included present-day Russia. And yes, murder, rape, and pillage is exactly what the Russian invaders are doing to Ukrainians, and what the Chinese government’s military is doing to Uyghurs.

hungary thing

I guess that’s also fitting. It was the failed revolution of 1956 october 23rd, when organized rebels almost toppled the communist government in Budapest, but soviet tanks arrived and drove them back. It’s not nearly as well-known as Tiananmen Square, though.

isn’t that the same thing you get angry at tankies for?

This is what really pisses me off. You haven’t lived the reality that tankies want to restore and propagate. My great-grandfather fought against them and lost. My grandparents and parents lived under Stalinist rule. I was lucky enough to be born after its collapse.
Tankies are not an ethnicity, religion, or nationality. Nobody’s born a tankie, they pick up stupid and dangerous ideas that get reinforced in their online echo chamber, but without the reality check of having to live in the world they want to create.

rtxn, (edited ) to piracy in It seems so strange to me that we are locked in battle with providers mining our lives for whatever, and we have to work our asses off trying to stay anonymous, to the point of being denied service

Did you lose your ability to recognise sarcasm, or did it never develop in the first place?

Of course that’s not what he said, but the issue of web ads is much deeper than the ad revenue or no ad revenue question he is taking a stand on. It has been discussed ad nauseum by more technically minded people than him.

rtxn, (edited ) to linuxmemes in :wq!

To ensure the Unix-like standard of maximum backwards compatibility. Vi (the original, before Vim) was made in an age where computer keyboards might not have had luxury features like arrow keys, but did have alphanumeric keys and minimally competent users. It has worked for almost half a century, so unless you’re Microsoft, why would you change it?

Even today, many people prefer it because you don’t have to move your hand far away from the home row while typing or navigating, and the modality gives the user a much greater toolkit (seriously, I just about nutted when I discovered d i "). Not having to rely on modifiers and the arrow keys also reduces the risk of the repeated stress injury known as Emacs pinky.

rtxn, (edited ) to science_memes in I have a software joke, but I’m not ready to release it yet

It only counts if it’s a maths joke.

rtxn, to linuxmemes in If linux distributions were tools.

I know that it’s Jesus.

But I really REALLY want it to be Moses parting the sea.
