Forget Harris & Trump. Here comes GIMP!

I would say “finally”, but I’ve given up already.

I don’t see systems booting with systemd in any near future of any dimension. Instead I now run “terribly slow” OpenRC on my systems. Poor me.

Also the graph is pretty much zoomed in. It exaggerates the differences between the bars.

I haven’t used lsp for a while, but it seemed like a good $PAGER.

I’m offended by the inconsistent placement of curly braces.

Just Google meatspin

Dude… This is Rickrolling on the nightmare level.

Those who don’t remember: NSFW to google that.

Brilliant!

Gentoo.

Yes. And many people here doesn’t seem to get that.

I’m not a dev of any kind. I occasionally write some bash and awk scriots to automate some things and if I need some kind of plain text (non-binary) data format I prefer tsv over json.

So why do I still get this? Is it just that many json advocates want to make sure others know json does support other data types than plain string?

I would then assume those scripts weren’t written properly to begin with.

But yes, shell scripts should be used (normally) to automate some simple tasks (file copying, backups…) or as an wrapper to exec some other program. I’ve written several shell scripts to automate things on my personal machines.

However shell script can be complex program while at the same time being (somewhat) easy to maintain:

• functions, use functions, alot
• • comment every function and describe what it expects in stdin or as an arguments
• • also comment what it outputs or sets

This way at least I don’t break my scripts, when I need to modify a function or some way extend my scripts. Keeping the UNIX philosophy inside shell scripts: let one function do one thing well.

And of course: YMMV. People have wastly different coding standards when it comes to personal little(?) projects.

Well, yeah. Hard drive failure can force a reinstall. And with laptops there isn’t usually another place for a hard drive, from where to restore the system.

Rolling with Gentoo here. Reinstall is not performed even when complete hardware upgrade has been done.

Predictions of which will win the race?

• noveau being useful with new nVidia GPUs
• we’ll reach the year of Linux desktop

Besed on the upvotes, it’s not only your opinion. 👍

Nope. I mainly get my games (curretly around 10 only) from gog.

Void offers musl too. Unless they’ve discontinued it.

But

compile everything yourself?

I do (almost) exactly that. I run Gentoo almost everywhere. The ‘almost’ is because Gentoo now offers an official bin repository too, so I can mix compiled and pre-compiled software. (Although you’ve always had the option to set up your own binary host).

Yikes.

I’d switch to musl on all of my boxes if it weren’t that nearly all precompiled software (closed source, games mainly) are compiled against glibc.

… and tmux session open in it.

It’s official now. ;)

Yeah.

At maximum a bug/issue tracker is needed.
