Detailed list view for everything except videos and images, and sometimes even for those

Ubuntu because they provide kernel live patching and they fix issues quickly and my system doesn't go down if I procrastinate in doing system updates

It still needs to pass the house. If you live under a red representative, please write and call them and let them know you do not support this legislation.

What exactly is "illegally procured" naturalization? Sounds like hogwash.

I feel a lot more hope from Mamdani than I did from Obama -- I love that the capitalist class is so upset by him; it shows what is wrong with the DNC.

Already been ashamed of my government for years. Supporting fascism abroad isn't any better than supporting it at home.

I tried it for a bit -- it is similar to freebsd in terms of the package install process.

Completely different -- nixos is about repeatability, while Gentoo is about build optimization, customization, and performance.

here we go:

dedup:

        #!/usr/bin/awk -f
    !x[$0]++


  

this removes duplicate lines, preserving line order

iter:

        #!/usr/bin/bash
    if [[ "${@}" =~ /$ ]]; then
        xargs -rd '\n' -I {} "${@}"{}
    else
        xargs -rd '\n' -I {} "${@}" {}
    fi


  

This executes a command for each line. It can also be used to compare two directories, ie:

        du -sh * > sizes; ls | iter du -sh ../kittens/ > sizes2


  

fadeout:

        #!/bin/bash
    # I use this to fade out layered brown noise that I play at a volume of 130%
    # This takes about 2 minutes to run, and the volume is at zero several seconds before it's done.
    # ################
    # DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is needed so that playerctl can find the dbus to use MPRIS so it can control mpv
    export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus"
    # ################
    for i in {130..0}
    do
        volume=$(echo "scale=3;$i/100" | bc)
        sleep 2.3
        playerctl --player=mpv volume $volume
    done


  

lbn:

        #!/bin/bash
    #lbn_pid=$(cat ~/.local/state/lbn.pid)
    if pgrep -fl layered_brown
    then
        pkill -f layered_brown
    else
        export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus"
        mpv -ao pulse ~/layered_brown_noise.mp3 >>lbn.log 2>&1 &
        sleep 3
        playerctl -p mpv volume 1.3 >>lbn.log 2>&1 &
    fi


  

This plays "layered brown noise" by crysknife. It's a great sleep aid.

here are some aliases:

        alias m='mpc random off; mpc clear'
    alias mpcc='ncmpcpp'
    alias thesaurus='dict -d moby-thesaurus'
    alias wtf='dict -d vera'
    alias tvplayer='mpv -fs --geometry=768x1366+1366+0'
  

If you were intending to seed, yes.

It's certainly possible to download content after you've joined. Some might call that piracy, but I would call it fair use.

Port forwarding allows you to seed without revealing your IP address. If you seed on a VPN and you don't have port forwarding, your IP is revealed to those you seed to.

Edit -- I was wrong. You can technically seed securely behind a VPN connection, but since you can't be connected to directly behind a vpn without port forwarding, you would only be able to seed to ppl who port forward, or who can be connected to directly. You would only be able to leech from everyone else.

If everyone torrented like this (behind a VPN without port forwarding), all torrents would grind to a halt; nobody would be able to seed.

Oh, nice!

Yeah; it's pretty great. It lacks the excel functions, but if you know some python that is a total non-issue.

I appreciate your mentioning the downside. I am way too much of a tinkerer for a read-only root to be acceptable for me, but I'm glad you found something you like.

Oh, I know. But imagine, if you will, if enough people collectively decided to vote 3rd party. It's a minority of Americans who even vote at all. If a third party received the majority of votes, they would have to be put in office -- hypothetically at least.

It isn't really about his net worth. Capitalists (oligarchs) like Trump because for some reason he is the right kind of ghoul to be their tool. And police like who the oligarchs like.
