  • First moved from 7 on home PC as a daily driver

    And then later once I stopped distro hopping (stopping at Arch) and could do my work in full from home... ( by porting time tracking app to Linux )

    Moved from 10 on work PC

  • I play BeatSaber and few more VR games using ALVR and it's working great. (But I know that not all VR games fully work on Linux)

    But you just need to know that its for Quest headsets running mostly over Wi-Fi (but you can also run over USB) so your milage may vary depending on your WiFi setup.

    I use Arch btw 😅

  • If you conmect and mount the whole drive (or at last whole partition) directly to the VM then yes. Before doing all that work, personaly I would just use the command to manually confirm the metadata is thereo on files you know that has comments. Or even simpler - boot a KDE neon (or any other KDE live disto) live from USB, and connect the drive.

    But ... Why not just install Dolphin file manager in your current distro? It should be as easy as installing any other package/app. You can have more than one file manager installed at a time.

  • It sounds like you move those files directly from Linux FS to Linux FS, so they should be preserved (might not be if copied).

    But I think if those comments are important, you should still have them stored in some markdown file next to them to avoid losing them if you move them accidentally to a Filesystem that doesn't support Extended file attributes or the "tool" that you are going to use instead of attributes goes away.

  • Those comments are not lost, the nepomuk (later baloo) is only a indexing service that scrape the file metadata for search purposes.

    The attributes are actually stored inside the files in file metadata supported by filesystem. So If those original files still reside in their original filesystem (they ware not like moved to different filesystem that doesn't support those attributes or like compressed (into zip that probably would not retain those metadata)) you can read it.

    I did some local digging into it and after searching whole drive while not finding the content of the comment, after searching some filesystem docs, found a explanation at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_file_attributes


    You can read them using:

     
            getfattr FILENAME -n user.xdg.comment
        getfattr FILENAME -n user.xdg.tags
    
    
      

    like getfattr test.txt -n user.xdg.comment

  • No language is useless, please don’t say that, some are just smaller

    Yes, sorry, I didn't check other languages, as in the list there most likely are languages that are still heavily used and/or official country languages.

    Initially I was under the impression that they didn't get added before because all of them are not official ones and/or used anymore like in the case of "Silesian" that I did check and confirmed that should be avoided as much as possible. It's a disservice to new generation of people that still (partial) learn it in their own while growing in that region. Then those people go to different region inside their own country and (because they or the region "use that variant") then have troubles with communicating.

    You have clear example with Poland and Germany. Example, imagine you live in France, you want to go to Poland (or Germany), you go to school (or get some lessons) to Learn Polish (or Germany), you drive to some random region of Poland (and Germany) and ... surprise, only in that "small" region they talk not with Polish (or Germany) but their own (one of dozens) variant that they call "Silesian" (or Bavarian). And even if you go and learn "Silesian" (or Bavarian) it most likely will only help maybe partially...

  • I call them useless because this language is a subset of old language that no one uses - or more precise no one should use it any more. It is a regional language from era where every region had their own culture and was occupied by multiple countries so the language is a mix of multiple molded languages that differs by region.

    Why it's useless (in example of "Silesian"):

    • you can't use it inside the country as it's not official language that you can use when conversing inside goverment (yes, in some local regional governmental offices they understand it, but it's not official)
    • in Poland people use the language "Sląski" (or like google call it "Silesian") for many different set's of words and dialects, and they differ to a point that one "Silesian" speaking guy sometimes have issues talking to another "Silesian" speaking guy
    • the translation is not helpful to people using that language as they know the official country language too
    • the translation probably will never be useful to any other person as they can always going to prefer to use official country language (or English)
    • the translation is bad on it's own (as it's only one variant of dozens if not more)

    So I'm going to call that language "useless" as other than historical value it should disappear as it this "language" was never fully defined/described and will never due to many "variants".

    I don't have an issue that they craeted it, I have an issue that they mixed the this language with other official (useful because still used) languages.

    I hope that in the future they will finally cleanup the bullshit language selector in google translate grouping them somehow to make it easier to quickly select the actually useful languages that people actually use on day-to-day basic.

    better than siting with dictionary for historian? maybe for me as a "native person speaking (one of the variants of) that language"? no, as I already pointed out it's only one random variant from dozens if not more.

  • If only some of the newly added translations was not garbage, adding local dialects that differs by location is useless, it's more like a gimmick. It just makes it harder pick language as you need to scroll over all of those useless ones...

    It's probabably just a PR stunt.

  • They did say that their servers dont store anything and they do some cloud "verification" before sending any data to it, but in my opiniom they should have a setting/prompt/indication for that apple cloud part too, especially as you might be on mobile.

    The include of chatgpt with the prompt is making it confusing and making the apple cloud less talked about ....

  • There is a change for a cross OS malware but it's probably still quite small.

    I would just remove them, and then if they dont re-appear after checking game file consistency then its's mostly likely not a false positive.

    But if you know that last playerd is most likely before you installed current OS then it should be clean. I would check user level autostart and cronjob (so mostly stuff in $HOME/.config) places if something didnt get added, go ahead with life.

    Unless you are doing banking and other critical stuff on this machine then I would be thinking of hardedning the OS in some way and/or reinstalling.

  • I didn't left it, I needed provide that "part" to it to get the correct answer.

    Because like in the whole thread is mentioned over and over again, chatgpt doesn't know the correct answer, it's a mathematical model of "what looks ok" and "what should be the next word", it looks ok to try to put --reset parameter to reset it, but because chatgpt can't actually check documentation of podman stats if the param exists, it just generate it based on "common known text patterns", and "common known text patterns" are written in a way suggesting that it is the truth.

    So once again - do your own research if following the results it could cause breaking both in tech and especially in life. And that is true for both chatgpt and random pages on internet.

    In this case I did exactly follow chatgpt answer without doing fact checking - I asked chatgpt, I copied the command and pasted it into terminal, because I know that if it didn't work the worse that could happen it would fail and do nothing. But It's bad for new people that will not know what the result could be if it's wrong!

    @z00s Don't take me wrong. I'm not telling not to use it, on the contrary.

    You should use any tool that helps you do your job/task. But you should try to understand how to use those tools wisely.

    Telling someone never to use ChatGPT is like telling someone to never use excavator. That is wrong, you should use excavator but you should know what is an excavator, and what harm it could do by for example accidentally destroy a building or even hurt someone (or youself) if not use wisely.

  • Example that confirms that "Chatgpt does not know truth." or more like "It will spell answer that match your inquiry that sound correct even if it's totally made up."

    in `podman stats` you see BLOCK IO as a summary of hard drive activity.
    how to reset the

    To reset the block I/O statistics displayed by podman stats, you can use the podman stats --reset command.

    Apologies for the confusion. It seems I provided incorrect information. The podman stats command does not have a built-in option to reset the statistics.
    
      

    So once again, don't be afraid to use it, but do your own research especially if following LLM could result in something breaking both in tech or in life.

  • don’t run any commands that you don’t understand. Ask it to break down any commands it tells you to run if you don’t understand them.

    You need to pay extra attention to this, as ML models will spit out commands and parameters that doesn't exists if there was not enough examples in training dataset for that action. Especially with explain as it could just spit out totally wrong but "sounding good" explanation for parameter etc as it not always will tell the magic keywords like "typically" that indicate that it doesn't have confidence as it's "based on other similar command/knowledge".

    In your example it spit out:

     
        
     -m: Prune empty directory chains from the file-list.
     --prune-empty-dirs: Exclude empty directories that result from the inclusion/exclusion pattern.
    
      

    which is actually exactly the same parameter with 2 different explanations, you can confirm this with man rsync

     
        
     --prune-empty-dirs, -m   prune empty directory chains from file-list
    
      

    So the more edge case you have the bigger chance it will spill out bad results, but those new models are shockingly good especially for very common use cases.
