I’m here to stay.
Here is a little bonus to have in mind: You can convert newline characters to null, then grep with option null, and at last convert null characters back to newline. Now I don’t think its useful in this case, but its good to know; therefore its a bonus information:
ps aux | tr '\n' '\0' | \grep --null-data ^root | tr '\0' '\n'
If I do ps aux | grep root, then the newline is preserved. So I’m not sure what exactly the problem is. There is a user option for ps, but it does not work with aux, ps --user root . You can ps ax --user root, but I’m not sure if this output is what you want.
Btw if you grep, then I recommend using ^user , so it only matches the beginning of each line (the actual username), as ps aux | \grep ^root (notice the backslash). Do you have an alias for grep? Try \grep instead. The backslash in front of the command will use the actual command and ignore your alias.
Redditors maybe?
I see. Well then my bad for misunderstanding this. To me moderators are Reddit staff working for free. But I see that the word “staff” was used literally.
See you in the oblivion. xD
In other news, grass is green.
I didn’t saw this news. My news only tell me that the rice bag fall over. It happens over and over again. Predictable, like Reddit.
Reddit is giving its staff a lot more power over the communities on its platform. Starting today, Reddit moderators will not be able to change if their subreddit is public or private without first submitting a request to a Reddit admin.
More power by having less power. I stopped reading here. Yeah, The Verge never disappoints. Edit: My bad. The Verge was correct this time. Guess if I read the article then I would understand.
grep by default uses Basic Regular Expressions. This means the ( and ) lose their special meaning and are matched literally. Either use a backslash version \( to have a group, or use Extended Regular Expressions with -E "(IN|OUT)" . In man grep under REGULAR EXPRESSIONS are some differences noted.
Nice. I assume it make sense, because the skins are all the same, just different styling for colors and images. Good to know (for future recommendations).
Audacious has a classic Winamp skin: https://store.kde.org/p/1008329/ (Note, I don’t use this program and cannot assist further.)
I fear these kind of mistakes will happen much more frequently in the future; thanks to AI tools.
Because Linux is just a kernel.
This is too short. Here is the long form: https://www.gnu.org/gnu/incorrect-quotation.en.html
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
I like these self made scripts. Some ideas to improve this: a) instead ls, use find command if you want use its output as input in another program (will yield fullpath too), b) fzf has a preview functionality, which I like a lot to use when it comes to directories or script files. As for the run command, I’m not sure why you use xargs and what i3-msg is needed for. Here is an alternative way.
(Edit: I always forget that beehaw will convert my ampersand to &. Have this in mind if you read the below code.)
bash -c 'cd "${HOME}/.local/bin"; path="$(find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -executable -printf "%f\n" | fzf --preview "cat {}")" && "${path}"'
below same command in a bit more readable standalone script:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
cd "${HOME}/.local/bin" || exit 1
path="$( \
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -executable -printf "%f\n" | \
fzf --preview "cat {}" \
)" && "${path}"
The biggest problem with fzf is, that scripts that need an argument are not covered here. One could either use the input string from fzf as arguments or like that, or an optional input after fzf selection.
I might be missing something here but I don’t know how other launchers could possibly make this a simpler process.
Shortcuts to launch an app directly in example. So my keyboard becomes my launcher.
I use bunch of different tools, including KRunner (on KDE) and previously Rofi. These type name and search tools for launching an app have the problem that you need to remember what name the tool was. For programs I use often this is not an issue, but not all applications have names good to remember and not all of them are used often. The associated description helps, but sometimes I don’t know what words to type.
Therefore I “need” the app menu with categories and favorites, to navigate with the mouse through. And the most used applications are usually assigned to a shortcut and my panel on the top. In short I use mostly all of these techniques as an application launcher (in that order):
Edit: Forgot to mention that some of the launchers I use are custom made scripts for the terminal.
haha in fact I was thinking of installing Windows 95 instead, because I wasn’t sure if Win 98 was too new. xD Its all just to play games.
being smart about it means not using an unsupported os
Or do not connect to the internet. I have Windows 98 SE installed in an emulator… I know it’s a bit old, but I don’t connect to internet. :D
SteamOS is focused on gaming, so its not a full replacement for Win10. There are ton of Linux operating systems for general use (even those that SteamOS is based on), without gaming focus and being a “normal” operating system like Windows. And if you want a gaming oriented OS, then there are plenty alternatives already: HoloISO, aiming for a SteamOS like system, and bunch of other: https://github.com/ChimeraOS/chimeraos/wiki/OS-Comparison . So there is no need to wait for SteamOS to open up as a general installation media on desktop.
insert MORE, MORE!-Kylo Ren meme here
The biggest reason why I don’t want maintain so many Vms is, because all the maintenance and updates that involve doing so.
I’m not Nintendo supporter and play Switch games on emulators. But one justification is, that this is current generation system. And while the developers are not responsible for, this enables easy piracy, and basically each first party game got leaked early and was playable before or shortly after launch. So lot of these people connect the wrong dots and say that the emulator “supports” piracy, which is not true, but depending on the view could be interpreted by some haters.
The Ryujinx isn’t illegal and I am pro emulation (I have terabytes of Roms for all kind of systems) and Open Source. The above statement is not MY justification, but what I think is what most Nintendo supporters will say. I talk about this subject with my bro, watch YouTube videos and read forum comments and that is what I get from them.
