That’s impossible, look up the Halting problem

But it is also a fun road!

Unraid is not a backup. It is good, but if your data goes wrong for different reasons or you lose the entire device, you can’t restore it. Dedicated backups are a must for anything serious!

Thanks for the suggestions. Starting with Blackshirts and reds now.

Thanks, that is a lot to sink my teeth into!

Do you have a good starting point? I have a rudimentary understanding of Marxism, but not much in the way of details.

Hey, my setup works for me! Just add an option to enable CPU overheating in the next update!

Also, you should know that complaining about Opportunity’s laws is considered verbal littering!

I like Ardour. Unfa on YouTube made a great tutorial on how to use it.

To be fair there is so much JPEG compression on the image, you can’t see much of anything.

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

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.

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).

Wow, CUPS is way better than I previously thought and I thought it was amazing!

Pffsh, that’s baby mode, I use butterflies by releasing them at just the right time to cause the air currents to change just right to cause a solar ray to pass through the atmosphere and flip the bit I want to flip. It is a bit trickier with error correcting memory…

It is just how I prefer to do my computing. I tend to live on the command line and pipe programs together to get complex behavior. If you don’t like that, then my approach is not for you and that’s fine. As for your analogy, I see it more as “instead of driving down the road in a car, I like to put my own car together using prefabs”.

Option 4: levy existing tools such as gpg and git using something like pass. That way, you are keeping things simple but it requires more technical knowledge. Depending on your threat model, you may want to invest in a hardware security key such as a yubikey which works well with both gpg and ssh.

Why did you mention it?! Now we can never unsee it!
