This reads like a classic LinkedinLunatics post and I love it. Great parody!

Aye! I was rummaging around his socials hoping he was on peertube as well, but alas.

Or Haiku 🍂

That “Someone” turns out to just be Action Retro. Classic. But then again, maybe everyone isn’t already watching his wacky content regularly like I am.

But at what cost… At what cost…

I did consider taking a screenshot before the edit from POW to POV, but eh.

Prisoner of war?

I really liked the GUI of WinRar, but I no longer consider proprietary software to be an option.

Yeah, I don’t know about WinRar either, and I even bought a license back in 2010, so I guess I shouldn’t feel bad for using it, it’s just that I want to support FOSS more these days.

I am still pining for a Qt GUI compression/extraction killer app, that feels fully featured and able to handle it all. As it is, I keep three different ones installed, to meet my needs and mostly satisfy my workflow.

I believe Ark isn’t happy extracting a lot of r01, r02 etc. files or maybe it was passworded filed it struggled with, but that’s why I found PeaZip to begin with.

Thanks for reminding me. I was still on 10.4. A shame this isn’t in the Fedora repositories, it’s nice to have GUI alternatives to Ark as that isn’t exactly perfect.

Over the summer Zypper got a huge speed upgrade after decades of being one of the slowest package managers, and while Hayden James did give Zypper “the best score” (not really, (except if you assume they all got 5 in ecosystem size) all of them got 17, except Pacman that got 16), it would’ve been nice of them to mention that as I’m sure lots of people probably still have this idea of Zypper being sluggish and taking forever.
In fact, seeing as how APT is limited on simultaneous downloads, I’d wager that Zypper is actually faster than APT now. Probably faster than Nala as well.

For the longest time I’d use MP3tag in Windows, which is still a great tool, runs great in Wine, and it can do some of the same things like look up artwork and in particular rename files based on tags.
But less than a month ago I downloaded Picard and have been getting into using it, and the workflow is quite strange. But it works. And I can recommend it.

If I had a better brain I’d be writing like Arya here. Loved the little references to DC++ and Fallout: New Vegas.

Also, it’s sad it’s only now I realize what kind of guy DHH is. I’ve seen him a few times talking with Primeagen, so that was the extent of my knowledge about him up until now. And sad that Brodie Robertson is helping sanewash him, although I think Brodie is pretty oblivious when it comes to politics.

It’s something I noticed this last half year, how the kernel has just ballooned, especially for us nvidia users.

Over on Nobara they did at one point recommend this, but has since been removed from their wiki, but:

echo 'omit_drivers+=" nvidia nvidia-drm nvidia-modeset nvidia-peermem nvidia-uvm "' | sudo tee /usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d/99-nvidia.conf

and then rebuilding initramfs:

sudo dracut -f --regenerate-all

It certainly helps me a lot as I’m stuck with a 1GB /boot partition, although I see why it’s not recommended as those with LUKS set up will have problems.

It’s a stock photo. Found it by searching on ecosia for “bald bearded man screaming at camera stock-photo” hehe

I think that’s the first time I’ve seen a url in hiragana. And welcome to lemmy. I hope you enjoy it here, it’s normally very chill.

That’s what I do in bash except for pressing up it’s ctrl+r. FZF does the fuzzy finding for me. It’s so convenient.

I write part of the command then ctrl+r. Using FZF mind you. Such a great utility.

Nifty! I’ve recently begun using archivemount-ng, which allows mounting an archive of the formats you mention (not rar though, but I have rar2fs for that), and in theory one can easily mount an archive using those methods and just do a tree in the mount folder, but it seems that pear saves a few steps and makes that a lot easier.

I’ve smelled the diesel fumes and heard the backup generators near my city’s old telephone/internet central during a city blackout a bit over a decade ago, so at least those stay on during blackouts, but you’d think that various boxes along the way to the central might need power, right?
