It isn't misusing metric, it just simply isn't metric at all.

Sounds like you want a proper backup solution. Take a look at borg backup, a tool that supports encrypted, deduplicated, compressed, incremental backups. You can even directly save to your cloud via protocols such as ssh, s3, etc.

TV series called Person of Interest. Very good series that doesn't overstay its welcome.

No, it is customer's since there will only be one customer left at that point.

single master text file

Sounds like something you are using to manage your packages to me...

Your legs are ok

Rip and tear until it is done

Phrod?

Stop giving them ideas!

IANAL but it looks like they are violating Apache 2, as they are supposed to retain the license and mark any changes.

I wonder how this interacts with tiling window managers...

I only really use them with the keyboard, desktop mode or any game that uses mouse emulation.

Try installing nvidia-dkms. It is better integrated into the kernel, so you may have better luck with it. Also make sure to read the xorg page on the arch wiki if you are going to stick with arch.

You missed a factor of ten from the gravitational field strength, but still not great. Their heat batteries work better when it comes to heating, but that is mostly limited to just that.

There's pros and cons. On one hand, packing your dependencies into your executable leads to never having to worry about broken dependencies, but also leads you into other problems. What happens when a dependency has a security update? Now you need an updated executable for every executable that has that bundled dependency. What if the developer has stopped maintaining it and the code is closed source? Well, you are out of luck. You either have the vulnerability or you stop using the program. Additionally bundling dependencies can drastically increase executable size. This is partially why C programs are so small, because they can rely on glibc when not all languages have such a core ubiquitous library.

As an aside, if you do prefer the bundled dependency approach, it is actually available on Linux. For example, you can use appimages, which are very similar to a portable exe file on windows. Of course, you may run afoul of the previously mentioned issues, but it may be an option depending on what was released.

Can't include any proprietary code, so using the google sdk would invalidate it I believe.

Sure. If you are using an nvidia optimus laptop, you should also add __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia at the start of the last line when running in hybrid mode to run mpv on the dgpu. You should have a file at ~/.wallpaperrc that contains wallpaper_playlist: /path/to/mpv/playlist. You may want to add this script to your startup sequence via your wm/de.

    
#!/bin/sh

WALLPAPER_PLAYLIST=$(cat ~/.wallpaperrc | grep -v '^\w*#' | grep 'wallpaper_playlist' | sed "s/wallpaper_playlist: //")


xwinwrap -g 1920x1080 -ov -- mpv -wid WID --no-osc --no-audio --loop-playlist --shuffle --playlist=$WALLPAPER_PLAYLIST

  

Hope this helps!

I set mpv as the root window which worked well. I stopped using it a while back, but if you are interested, I could dig up the simple script for you (literally one or two lines iirc).

Exploding Kittens is so good. Take a look at the expansions if you haven't already. They add a ton of new cards that really add to the experience.

This is a quality meme and I am here for it!
