I love paru, but I think my favorite thing about it is that it isn’t yay.

Back when i started using Arch Yay was mega popular so I tried it. Its great, I loved it, shouldn’t be a surprise I love paru too. But Yay was always my only Go app, so I’d end up installing Golag, which is gigantic, just to use yay.

They S is for Sync. You’re syncing a package from the repos.

What’s wrong with pacman? I love pacman!

I don’t want to own a copy of James Cameron’s Avatar The Way Of Water. I have a 4k BR Player and a libredrive for ripping and wouldve just purchased it if I cared to ever watch it again

Sometimes I only want to watch a movie once, my partner was dragging me to the new one and I hadn’t seen the second one so I needed context.

I rented a movie the other day online that wanted real full fat Google chrome to be able to stream on Linux. I installed it in a sandbox, locked it down right, then promptly uninstalled it 3 hours later when the movie was over. Never again.

Fandango at home, for anyone wondering which service absolutely requires full fat Google chrome

I had configured this manually (incorrectly) in Arch a while back to have my home dir be on a separate encrypted drive.

Turns out the main drive didn’t get the memo and still had a home folder which worked fine, I thought it was working so I promptly forgot about it. Meanwhile the encrypted drive (which had only ever been unlocked that day and never again) had maybe 10 files on it that I didn’t even know it had until I swapped the drive into a different PC.

Flash drive are usually Kinda terrible, especially at the Wii’s USB2.0 speed. I’d consider an SDXC card. I use a partition on my 512GB SDXC for my games with heavier assets (lol @ heavy wii games, like why?) to improve loading speed. The wii’s SD slot is significantly faster than its USB ports.

If you use a big SD like that, you don’t need to partition it, I only do that because I also use that card in other consoles and like to keep the data separate.

Little emulation powerhouse, I love my Wii.

Jailbroken to hell and back with half of the library on an SSD and all the emulators I want (except xemu, but like, that’s a pipe dream the thing isn’t that powerful).

I recommend literally everyone who has a wii in their garage or attic, pull it out and spend some time jailbreaking it, the things are really great consoles, bonus points if you have a CRT for it.

Actually I do, since KDE and Gnome don’t support X11 anymore.

Dogma was the wrong word, I’d already figured that out, which you can see from the context of the other responses that came in 12-17 hours before yours. Dog piling is dumb, stop it.

I comfortable and stubborn, I also feel like a full idiot. Ive been using hardware that doesn’t work on Wayland for years, so when I booted up may compatible laptop and moved to set up a barebones sway install and encountered EGL errors and the display manager can’t even find my monitor I think im allowed go be a little bit bitchy about it When even after 15 years Wayland is immediately showing me it wasn’t ready for the mainstream. Sure it works when it’s already in place, but I’ve NEVER successfully rolled it out myself until yesterday.

I want to learn, really, genuinly. The Security issues in X11 are glaring, and I’m tired of using insecure display server Software from the late 80s that expects me to be on a mainframe.

I want to change. I could also roll X11 in my sleep. I have quite a bit of instinct to unlearn.

Idk if Dogma was the right word, actually it was probably the complete wrong word. I just feel like a noob again and these error messages don’t mean anything to me.

I want to like Wayland, I really do. I’m just having trouble adapting after using X11 for the last 20 years.

If anyone has any suggested reading for making the switch easier for someone who’s deeply ingrained in the X11 way of thinking, I’d super appreciate it.

Edit: Changed a word since none of you can focus on anything but that I used the wrong word.

Nothing that it lacks I’ve just never touched Wayland because my hardware hasn’t supported it (I use ewaste machines primarily) and I’m fighting wayland, sway, swaybar and basically the whole thing because I want everything to work the way it did with x11 but it doesn’t and I’m resistant to change.

I’ve been bashing my head against sway for days I just wanna go back to i3 😭

One of my coeds is in his late 60s. Go to school for the love of learning, and treat the piece of paper as a bonus

First it was for performance, OpenSuse back in like 2004, since then its just what I’m familiar with. I don’t feel like I need to fight the OS like I do on windows machines.

Sometimes I have to use windows in a VM or I need some Software that only works on 2000/XP (psxn00b sdk) and for that I have an old machine that I use.

Since they added free-form window management.

Grep can accept input from stdin as with a piped cat, but I it can also just call the file directly.

In 99.999% ^{obviously made up stat is obvious} of situations its fine.

The real issue is a piped cat into grep will fork the process. Why open two process threads when one would do the job?

Edit: it was mentioned by but to expand a bit: piping cat into grep can also mask quite a few errors. It masks them because of how the shell handles error reporting on piped processes. IIRC, if the file is missing for example, you won’t necessarily know that because while cat will throw a not-found error, that gets piped into grep who gladly accepts the error (which was piped to stdin) as its input and greps through the error, reporting back that your content wasn’t found in the search material, not that the file was missing.

I knew a guy who got imprisoned for murder, really nice guy, the way he described it was an armed robbery where the armed person got spooked and fired off a shot. They were arrested on the road while taking the victim to the hospital (they weren’t trying to hurt anyone) and ended up getting booked for murder and kidnapping.

I met him a few years after he got out on probation.

Edit: fixed a typo

They used the phrase Jack-In but never Jack-Out
