I use zsh, but my old Bash prompt looks almost the same as my Zsh prompt. Sorry, no screenshot, but here’s the code:

export PS1='\[\033[01;34m\][\[\033[01;37m\] \W\[\033[01;34m\]]\$\033[01;34m\] $(git branch 2>/dev/null | grep '^*' | colrm 1 2)\n\033[01;34m└─>\033[37m '

Yep. Use it every day. It’s awesome.

I knew dudemanguy would eventually make a post like this. I use the distro(Artix Linux) he’s a maintainer on Artix, and he’s a solid dude that is always willing to help and gives solid help.

I have both riverwm and bspwm along with Wayland and X on my system and honestly have stuck on X because getting my workflow exactly the same on Wayland has been a technical hurdle of learning Zig (riverwm is written in Zig), and so far, with the exception of the occasional race condition, X just works.

I want to convert to Wayland, and will probably get around to making my own custom scripts in zig for working with riverwm. But until then, X/bspwm is where I live.

This, and take physical notes, or at least make notes in something you can refer to on a screen that is not your phone, ideally another desktop or a laptop computer with internet access in case something unexpected comes up during the physical install and you need to search the archwiki or the wider internet.

Its a command line multimedia player. It’s implementation is ideal for minimalists, and easily understood by reading the man pages.

It works very well imo.

Meh, I’ll just stick with mpv.

Aren’t a good portion of contributors to the Linux kernel also employees of the major FAANG companies?

Not sure, but here is an old reddit post about it:

And the bash script that might work if used in conjunction with a cron job:

Anything you have trouble remembering, or just find yourself doing often, create an alias (or bash script if it constitutes a multi line command). Name the alias something you can easily remember that also lets you know what that command does.

Then, and here’s he trick, don’t rely on the alias. Use it when you can’t remember, say “aww, damn it I had to use the alias again”, and then use which followed by the alias name to see what the command was again. Do this over and over and eventually some commands will stick.

Ones that you don’t care about or are just super long, just keep using the alias and don’t worry about remembering them. Use aliases as both commands and notes.

No sorry, I should have elaborated. The package name is mlocate but the command is locate. Occasionally run updatedb as it populates an sqlite db with every file on your system that you can then list out using locate followed by the filename you want to locate.

EDIT: Lol. Sorry barely read your reply. Yes, you should wear a fedora while installing mlocate.

mlocate

I have a script that makes a list of every package and binary into an output file of packages as a list. I can just cat the output of the file in a subshell and pass that off to pacman -S. Pacman might complain here and there, but I can just edit the list. Then its just cp -r my config files that I’ve backed up and run my backups for movies, music, pics, games, etc.

And yeah, it’s not perfect, but it’s good enough for me. I still have to do other stuff like switch out bash for zsh, etc. Gotta love bash scripts and backup configs though. That plus actual backups makes restoration from catastrophic failure at least bearable, albeit still time consuming.

I prefer to see changes in RAM and CPU registers in hexadecimal or binary output. 🤓

Interesting. I know little, but a segfault is indicative of a memory leak. Did you install these using an AUR helper like paru or yay?

First thing to troubleshoot is to try to run the program from the terminal. Usually if it fails, the output can point you in the right direction. At the very least you can post the error on the arch Linux forums or elsewhere and hopefully get a helpful response.

The only exception is Mr. Robot. Check this command the main character runs as root:

shred -uz /*

Only show I’ve seen where they show real commands with really damaging effects.

Yep. Sadly it doesn’t work with Mullvad on.

Yes, but only with oldreddit, not with the now defunct teddit instances.

A lot.

Thanks. That Heliboard comment sent me down a rabbit hole. I don’t really use glide typing, but in case any one’s curious: scroll a bit down under this section on Heliboard’s Github and you’ll find the instructions on how to install the proprietary library. You’ll also find a link shortly thereafter that leads you to the repo where you can download the needed library.

Neat little feature I wasn’t aware was available for Heliboard. Cheers.
