wheat plume
#

is it because fish uses localhost to run the config?

#

cant say much, you have a server running for it xd

fair gull
#

?

wheat plume
#

in your screenshot

crimson wigeon
#

yeah use mongodb!!!!

fair gull
#

it got worse

#

please stay with mysql in this case

#

@wheat plume not a screenshot from me

wheat plume
#

ohh

fair gull
#

id rather die than run xampp

#

im using wsl2 on my pc or a vm depending what i need

#

or my local server/remote server

wheat plume
#

I thought it was meant to come with xampp.... wtf?

fair gull
#

it does

wheat plume
#

nope..

fair gull
#

yes

wheat plume
#

not this time wtf

fair gull
#

mariadb

#

mysql is obsolete

#

since years

wheat plume
#

o

fair gull
#

mariadb is pmuch mysql but actually relevant

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah forked because ORACLE EVIL

fair gull
#

these days the only real choices are sqlite, mariadb or postgresql

#

sometimes redis for caching

wheat plume
#

I did this before but I forget how ;-;

crimson wigeon
#

Usually checking the logs reveals the answers you seek

fair gull
#

lies

ivory geyser
#

MONGODB!

crimson wigeon
#

IT'S WEBSCALE

ivory geyser
#

Xampp is nice, I use it for dev a lot.

#

Can be a bit slow

#

But like... meh

wheat plume
#

it cant run the phpmyadmin :/

ivory geyser
#

Try localhost/phpmyadmin/

wheat plume
#

access denied

ivory geyser
#

huh

#

Perhaps a permission issue on the folder where it is?

wheat plume
ivory geyser
#

No idea

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah that error makes it pretty clear what you should do

fair gull
#

the question is

#

why use xampp

wheat plume
#

maybe I should actually get it from the website...

fair gull
#

like

wheat plume
fair gull
#

just install apache/nginx

#

then just install mariadb

#

donzo

wheat plume
#

I think this is what happened last time too , it didnt work from AUR but did from website

fair gull
#

still no clue why ud use xampp on linux

#

which def has a better package manager than xampp is

wheat plume
#

it install lamp

fair gull
#

u know what lamp is right?

#

just the term for a certain config of a software stack

#

linux apache mysql php

wheat plume
#

I know

fair gull
#

and i think python

ivory geyser
#

Ohhh, you are using Linux.

#

That explains it

fair gull
#

ngl xampp should become windows/mac only

wheat plume
#

should have just used the installer from the website

fair gull
#

or installed the massive amount of 4 packages directly from your package manager

wheat plume
#

That didnt work, it installed things but didnt configure them

#

this installed and configured things

fair gull
#

thats a fault of ur package manager then

#

cause

#

works fine on any linux install i ever had

#

even wsl

wheat plume
#

hmm

#

oh well

#

the AUR does have faults sometimes

fair gull
#

ah pacman

wheat plume
#

but the official repos never do

fair gull
#

that explains it

wheat plume
#

no

#

not pacman

#

the AUR is seperate

#

its not officially part of Arch

fair gull
#

i dont know any package manager besides pacman that uses it

wheat plume
#

pacman cant use the AUR :')

#

you need yay for that

crimson wigeon
#

Why not just get the things not from AUR

wheat plume
#

I did this time

#

it worked

fair gull
#

why not use gentoo

crimson wigeon
#

e.g. pacman -S nginx mariadb php whatevs

fair gull
#

too hard

wheat plume
#

why not use gentoo
@fair gull I tried Sabayon before

fair gull
#

lol

#

thats not even close to the pain of gentoo itself

#

thats like using ubuntu and saying u mastered debian

wheat plume
#

how tf I see the table contents in this crap?

fair gull
#

by selecting the table

#

or not using phpmyadmin

wheat plume
#

oh, browse tab

fair gull
#

wont ever go without navicat

#

def my fav tool for db management

wheat plume
#

I assume I can make my own folder in /opt/lamp/htdocs?

#

and add my files to there?

#

would that make me need to type localhost/folderName/filename?

fair gull
#

u can make a folder anywhere as long as u configure apache correctly

wheat plume
#

default is htdocs though, but thats a pain cause its a root directory :/

fair gull
#

so make a folder in it

#

just need to specify it in the browers uri

wheat plume
#

the UI is odd but it working fine

#

not as bad as Oracle SQL Developer though.... shudders

fair gull
#

idk i never use the included shit

wheat plume
#

ofc

fair gull
#

altho i had to use microsoft sql once

#

wasnt too bad but not good either

#

id say useable

wheat plume
#

what would you rate oracle sql dev?

fair gull
#

dunno never used it

wheat plume
#

good...

#

dont

fair gull
#

i just use navicat now

#

since it does pmuch any database ever

wheat plume
#

oo

fair gull
wheat plume
#

woah

fair gull
#

so i dont need to switch software or ui

#

plus i can easily transfer shit

wheat plume
#

..thats reallyt handy :O

fair gull
#

ya its also handily priced

wheat plume
#

thats really mobile phone.... yeh xd

fair gull
wheat plume
#

frerking hell

fair gull
#

good shit is expensive

wheat plume
#

true

#

well..apart from windows

fair gull
#

its the best desktop os i know of

#

until linux community gets its shit together ill keep linux restricted to any server that can run shell only

wheat plume
#

screen tearing in games tho ;-;

#

I looked up many guides and nothing worked

fair gull
#

on the opposite hand i would never use windows for servers except 1 type which is exchange

#

but that id put into a kvm

#

cause

#

ya no

#

i wont ruin a nice server

wheat plume
#

its so stormy outside im worried about the power going out :/

fair gull
#

im not

#

even if the power goes out

#

i got 2 switches a 3ds and a psp

#

so

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

wheat plume
#

why 2 switches?

fair gull
#

the reason u buy any console twice

#

once directly on launch that u never open and a second one when u wanna play with it

#

when cfw comes around u open the first one and enjoy cfw

wheat plume
#

cfw?

fair gull
#

custom firmware

wheat plume
#

ooh

fair gull
#

its refered to as jailbreaking on ios and ps consoles

wheat plume
#

yeh yeh

fair gull
#

anyway i shall be gone now to continue my conquest

wheat plume
#

baii

crimson wigeon
#

sudoedit or kate should be fixed to get permission if needed

wheat plume
#

it turns out when you try to save the file after editing it in kate then itll prompt you for the sudo password

ashen spindle
#

no previews for amazon anymore? cmon discord

reef tundra
#

VIM GANG PREPRESENT, WHOW WHOW WHOW.

wheat plume
#

Wh not use emacs and replace all your apps with it? :')

#

your emails, text editing, web browsing, file management can be done in emacs

reef tundra
#

Emacs + gnu

#

Well vim has a basic file explorer

wheat plume
#

true

reef tundra
#

Dont know if Emacs has it. But in vim you can attact hooks to auto run when certain things are done. Like opening,saving,closing and leaving the file plus it can mask for file types

wheat plume
#

hmmm, damn

reef tundra
#

make of write

#

autocompile

wheat plume
#

when I want to edit anything I usually open it in a graphical editor such as Kate, or if its a system config file I will open it in nano cause its just a small change I need to do

reef tundra
#

Nano is sadness

crimson wigeon
#

Yes you can, emacs can do anything really because it's a complete lisp programming environment disguised as an editor

wheat plume
#

its fair depressing, no syntax highligting either

reef tundra
#

Sound like bloat to me

#

vim syntax highligthter mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

#

also it has spellingchecker

#

not a lot seem to know that vim has a spellingchecker

thick elk
#

I never manage to bother to learn vim, for me kate generally does it for bigger files, small command line edits I do generally use vim

reef tundra
#

vim can be really effective if you learn to work with it. Like making a small macro to format the file.

#

But it can be confusing at times

#

In the end the best editor is the one that you can be the most effective in

wheat plume
#

Kate is great but I do not like its new logo

#

the old one was so pretty

reef tundra
#

for a normal user that only needs to edit small things vim can be too complex to payoff and something like kate or notepadqq is better

wheat plume
reef tundra
#

but vim can make tasks that take hours in kate, minutes in vim

wheat plume
reef tundra
#

The older would be better just vector art it and simplify

thick elk
#

Generally if I can automate something well I tend to do it, even with kate regex replacements can save a lot of time.

wheat plume
#

regex confuse tf out of me

#

especially that one I used to validate email addresses

thick elk
#

well because validating e-mailadresses is actually pretty hard

reef tundra
#

regex is not too hard but looks complex if you dont know the syntax

thick elk
#

if you want to do it correctly that is

reef tundra
#

Validate email by sending an email and waiting for response bigbrain

thick elk
#

that is if you want to know if it's an active e-mailadress

#

because it being valid does not mean it works, yes I have done so.

wheat plume
#

I just wanted to check for the address being in the right format

#

a@b.c you know

reef tundra
#

rip the subdomains

ashen spindle
#

convert the string to ascii values, check for @ and . and check for valid ranges before and after them, ez no regex gloryKeK

reef tundra
#

utf-8

thick elk
#

you will have a lot of invalid e-mailadresses as well and you would also have to look at escape characters:
"Hello@hello"@somesite.com would fail for example

#

A rudementary way to check sure but following the spec correctly is actually not that trival.

wheat plume
#

OMFH KRUNNER GOT EVEN MORE AMAZING IN THIS UPDATE :O

#

<3

#

and combine that with ddg's bang feature it can get OP af

#

so this will show youtube results for minecraft

misty pier
#

i saw a duckduckgo ad on the billboard near where i live

#

kind of surprised but I do like the search engine a lot

wheat plume
#

ooo

misty pier
#

yeah something about privacy and such

wheat plume
#

yeah , thats its focus

misty pier
#

but I never really used bangs though

wheat plume
#

There are people going on about how Apple should buy it -.-

#

fuck no

#

they dont give a crap about privcy

misty pier
#

yeah they should just keep their hands off

#

although I am surprised DDG uses apple maps

wheat plume
#

yeah...

misty pier
#

you would think they would use openstreetmaps or something else

wheat plume
#

you would ;-;

#

I was shocked when they announced that

#

unless apple maps has good privacy policy? idfk

misty pier
#

i mean I don't mind apple maps that too much but

#

I generally prefer OSM more

wheat plume
#

never used OSM much before

#

it seems to get updated a lot more than google maps though

#

with new places or street obstructions or whatever

misty pier
#

yeah I think it's because anyone can submit changes

wheat plume
#

o

misty pier
#

people can edit and revise the map

wheat plume
#

right, that would make sense

misty pier
#

so it tends to be more accurate

wheat plume
#

I thought that was one of the points of google maps though?

misty pier
#

yeah I think google maps does the same but

#

not sure how it's done on their side

wheat plume
#

maybe they need to check if its legit or not

#

so someone doesnt say a road is blocked or closed when its not etc

misty pier
#

yeah sometimes they do review it since they're a much more well-known map provider

#

kind of reminds me of waze

#

similar deal, crowdsourced feedback

wheat plume
#

which is also owned by google?

misty pier
#

yeah now it is

#

they bought them out

wheat plume
#

oooh

misty pier
#

i never really use the app that much though

#

or google maps

wheat plume
#

Today I learned that Kate is an acronym... GG KDE devs GG

#

K - KDE
A - Advanced
T - Text
E - Editor

dapper ridge
#

an acronym in an acronym

#

K Desktop Environment Advanced Text Editor

#

oof

wheat plume
#

thatys fairly common in Linux

#

XD

#

WINE

#

W - Wine
I - Is
N - Not
E _ Emulation

#

KDE ate

#

KDE ate WINE?

dapper ridge
#

why is bsd scared of systemd

wheat plume
#

there are a lot of Linux distros without systemD too

dapper ridge
#

because systemd ate linux

#

que laugher

wheat plume

Excuse me?!

Naughty naughty terminal pepesweat

wheat plume
frozen anchor
#

๐Ÿ‘ this๐Ÿ‘ is๐Ÿ‘ why๐Ÿ‘ you๐Ÿ‘ use๐Ÿ‘ backups๐Ÿ‘

wheat plume
#

Indeed

ivory geyser
#

Dropbox does have backups.

#

This looks like a retarded company that cant even use their own software tbh

frozen anchor
#

well relying on only cloud storage is stupid anyways

wheat plume
#

I don't understand how you add shit to your path
Agghh
It's too late I'll figure it out tomorrow

frozen anchor
#

now this is peak performance

reef tundra
#

The file does not exist if there aint no backup at 2 locations of which 1 is offline available.

#

Also systemD is not bad. It does what is needed and is stable for me. Most hate for systemd seems to be out of elitism.

#

And if you dont like it, dont use it. Welcome to Linux

misty pier
#

got to have a backup for your backup in case that backup gets corrupted or magically deleted ๐Ÿ˜…

fair gull
#

@frozen anchor idk but gdrive is nice it even has file versioning

#

plus it has service accounts and such to basically make a cloud backup into another gdrive drive

vagrant marsh
#

anyone else's windows time showing the wrong time?

#

mine says its 2:26 AM atm

#

time and timezone are set to automatic

ashen spindle
#

sounds like either a internet or bios issues, not sure where win10 keeps track of time

vagrant marsh
#

i had to do this lol. now time is correct

#

but now ive updated windows and it wants to introduce me to edge boi

#

how do i delete this bloatware lol

#

seriously microsoft, want to force me to use edge?

#

fuck you

fair gull
#

inb4 tomorrow ur time is wrong again

vagrant marsh
#

if that happens im gonna try to find the cause behind it

ivory geyser
#

@vagrant marsh the new Edge runs on the same engine as Chrome btw.

#

It is a biiig update

#

Not saying it is good :D

#

But, ya know

vagrant marsh
#

yea, but its still not chrome.

ashen spindle
#

true, it's faster in some areas

#

and afaik doesnt have as many memory leaks gloryKeK

ivory geyser
#

It is not all about speed.

#

It is also about functionality, etc.

fair gull
#

if ur time is wrong again tomrrow its bios bat

#

no need to find any cause

ivory geyser
#

uses Opera lul

fair gull
#

OperaGX if any

vagrant marsh
#

wtf

#

they even resetted my preferences

#

i had to reset my preference to use chrome to open links

ashen spindle
#

ah yes, opera, the browser from people who have credit lending apps with predatory terms, definitely a company I want to use a product from

ivory geyser
#

They dont have those, someone just post them in their ads if I recall.

ashen spindle
#

no thats something else

#

and sure, they don't have them anymore

#

after it was called out and they fixed the issues the app had

frozen anchor
#

@fair gull well yeah but still not having any physical backups of your own isn't good if something does go wrong

pale sigil
#

That is true

#

I backup to my NAS I even backup my gdrive to my NAS XD@

#

Which defeats the purpose of cloud I know

#

But heh you canโ€™t be to careful

#

I eliminated most important data in my life

#

Anything super important I donโ€™t store on my computer

frozen anchor
#

Ok but i have the ultimate paranoid backup setup I have backups in s-ul, Google drive, a server I have that just runs locally on my network, normal windows backup, and I also put some stuff on 2 usbs

pale sigil
#

All I do is backup daily to my NAS at 6pm

frozen anchor
#

Only actual full backup of my PC is just windows backup but I'm not gonna be too mad if I have to reinstall windows

fair gull
#

i just have multiple backups on gdrive

pale sigil
#

And backup my cloud stuff

fair gull
#

and 1 local on my hdd

#

but since its 1tb i currently cant mirror the like 5backups to my nas

#

like all my digital shit can vanish i wouldnt really cry

#

the important shit i got on paper in binders so /shrug

wheat plume
pale sigil
#

i know that app

#

๐Ÿ˜„

#

had to use it for my mouse

wheat plume
#

ahh!

old marlin
#

what is that?

pale sigil
#

fairly confident its piper

wheat plume
#

yeh!

pale sigil
#

libratbag is pretty much needed for most things anyway

wheat plume
#

true

#

I love the name though :')

wheat plume
#

simplescreenrecorder

fair gull
#

na obs or sharex

#

rest is garbo

reef tundra
#

The best screen recorder for me is ffmpeg with a raw xorg stream as input. Also it is really powerfull in its supported codex and features. Pretty much allowing you to manupulate video and audio files via scripting. Plus it has low latency lossless processing. So check it out if interrrested.

reef patrol
#

OBS - For the lazy gamer who occasionally needs to record stuff.

reef tundra
#

Jup, ffmpeg is something not for the non-powerusers

fair gull
#

i mainly use sharex cause it uses ffmpeg backend for mp4/gif

#

just dont like asoftware with 1 single reason to exist

#

sharex does way too many things

#

and obs is pmuch prosumer studio software

wheat plume
#

@reef tundra Tried that before, coudnt get the commands to work right

reef tundra
#

OBS is really plug and play and graphical. So recommended for those not well versed into the low level stuff. If it does not give you the control you need or is not minimalist or unix-philosophy suitable for you, you will automatically begin to learn and use the lower-level ones. If not great, you have screenrecording that works for you. Without much hassle

#

But remember kiddos just because it is cool to use vim you should not spend 10 hours to make it just like visual code and never actually using the commands. Use what works not what makes you cry at 4 am in the morning asking yourself why you torture yourself

fair gull
#

whats visual code

reef tundra
#

Microsoft code thingy

fair gull
#

oh vsc

timid chasm
#

the abstract process of visualizing your code before you even think about the project

fair gull
#

thats what i thought

#

but you have to admit vim is a nice lockscreen

#

even i cant unlock it

reef tundra
#

:! rm -rf / Works great for me

fair gull
#

idk how vim works so i dont understand this meme

reef tundra
#

:! is the Bang command. meaning shell commands mode,

fair gull
#

ok then rm -rf / still wouldnt work

reef tundra
#

Then it will run: remove recursive forced on root

#

just sudo into vim to solve all problems

fair gull
#

still wouldnt work

reef tundra
#

How about shutdown now

fair gull
#

that would work but isnt as effective

#

cause now u pottentially face encryption keys and root pw

#

meaning u actually locked urself out

reef tundra
#

Make a startup script that runs rm -rf / on startup

fair gull
#

still wont work

reef tundra
#

Brain goes extend

#

sudo su

fair gull
#

like u can run rm -rf / all day

#

it wont work on any user

reef tundra
#

Now i am sad. you ruined my joke and now I will kill all microsoft

fair gull
#

could have just

reef tundra
#

no instances found

#

poop

fair gull
#

made a joke that at least for the delete command was correct

reef tundra
#

dd

fair gull
#

i mean did u ever run that command?

crimson wigeon
fair gull
#

its also not like the override flag is new

reef tundra
#

ohhh there you go it is so nice it gives you the solution

fair gull
#

its been in coreutils since years

#

i wish i still had the screencap of me running it on my old root

reef tundra
#

Not everybody is smart enough to run random commands on the internet without checking

fair gull
#

lol

#

thats why u run it on old servers that u wont need anymore

reef tundra
#

shred

#

to make sure

#

200 times

#

We got a weekend to burn

fair gull
#

na for that u take out the hdds and just give em a nice bashing

#

smells like u got blood everywhere and gives u a nice workout

reef tundra
#

You dont know me and my sins towards my tiling windows manager

fair gull
#

i dont use linux for desktop nor will i ever in the next decades

reef tundra
#

I was done with windows after it killed itself in update hell for the umpteeth time

#

Also shadow updates

#

Breaking the Ethernet driver 15 minutes before my test that needs online

#

And taking 13 minutes to reboot

fair gull
#

and yet id say its 10times better as a desktop os than linux

reef tundra
#

That is changing a lot recently

fair gull
#

no

#

not at all

reef tundra
#

Alright, indulge me why it is so.

fair gull
#

cause the linux DE/WM community is like an orphanage of mentally challenged 5 year olds

#

scratch that

#

the entire distro community is like that

#

everyone has to be special

#

make their own distro/de/wm

#

and in the end

#

most programs can only focus on the bigger ones specifically

#

we already had this discussion ones

#

conclusion: you cant guarantee anything in linux

#

not even "standard" commands

#

this linux garbage reminds me of when javascript was kinda new in browsers

#

and there was javafx aswell

#

and then javascript birthed even more garbage

reef tundra
#

It is indeed quite the shitfuckery for that. But to me that is also a way to find out what a good OS should and should not be.

fair gull
#

and now

#

like a decade or so into this garbage

#

the web still isnt all in one boat

#

and linux will be the same

#

windows is like pure html

#

shit from the first spec

#

still work today

#

linux is all the tagged on shit

#

where no one can decide whats "the best"

#

cause they all want a piece

#

i wihs id get a 100th of the ubuntu donations each month

#

id be rich

wheat plume
#

all you need to do is focus on the big distros, Ubuntu, Pop, Solus, Manjaro

#

and you golden

fair gull
#

i wouldnt call pop, solus or manjaro big

wheat plume
#

Manjaro has gotten so big its a company now

reef tundra
#

doubt that manjaro is not big

fair gull
#

i think the big ones are debian, ubuntu, redhat, kali

reef tundra
#

kali is a meme

fair gull
#

its big tho

#

meme or not

crimson wigeon
#

no one uses it as their primary distro

#

only those new to linux script kiddies who see OOO HACKER TOOLS MUST HAVE

thick elk
#

For desktop use debian itself is not that big.
Except for maybe corporate use (I think google uses debian testing internally)

fair gull
#

yes ngh but thats what makes it big everyone who thinks they can become a god hacker quick or whos actually interested looked into it and installed it

reef tundra
#

The tools are often just yanked and put into not a kali system

fair gull
#

but ok lets say Ubuntu, Pop, Solus, Manjaro are the big ones

#

now we still got 20million des and wms

reef tundra
#

But they all are POSIX complient, Xorg (or wayland) as backend

fair gull
#

and yet the des and wms have their own apis

#

no uniform one

reef tundra
#

They all handle their own thing

fair gull
#

yes

#

thats the issue

reef tundra
#

If people dont like it, dont use it

crimson wigeon
#

So you simply target one distro with its default environemnt (e.g. Ubuntu & Gnome) and then tell users of other distros and environments to figure it out, the community will handle it

reef tundra
#

Bad stuff dies out if let be

fair gull
#

ya and then i am left with no software that does what i want

#

gg

#

like u guys literally explain my argument for me

#

i dont even need to sit here

reef tundra
#

Not really the window manager is mostly organising xorg server

thick elk
#

Usually having gtk3 and qt5 gets you most of the way there, maybe some gtk2 and a little bit of qt4 but in terms of styling that's about it really.
Making a program just targeting either qt or gtk for styling gets you there. Gnome can handle qt5 styling as well if I remember correctly.

fair gull
#

not just styling

#

but apis for tray icons

#

context menus

#

window previews

#

media controls in context menus

#

shit like that

reef tundra
#

That is why there is the choice

#

And they are trying to find a way to make it the best for as much people as possible

fair gull
#

so instead of making a new DE each time cause the others suck and you can make a better one

#

just make a DE engine that takes theming, styling and placement shit in some format

#

so that

#

u can get any look

#

with 1 api

#

and programs dont need to focus on 1, 2 or 10

thick elk
#

There are just 2 relevent ones and targeting one is often enough. either you target gnome or you target kde the rest basically falls under those two.

reef tundra
#

That is what XDG is trying to fix amoung other things

thick elk
#

Honestly I have very little problem with things being broken because they are not targeting my distro.

fair gull
#

point still stands that a windows user doesnt have to worry normally

#

it says win10

#

so it works

#

no questions

reef tundra
#

And in my setup the windows litterly ask my system what font i am using that is serif/non-serif/etc.. and just reders it as that. I can run Gnome icons/emotjis/fonts as any other

#

Xorg is expected to resolve this

fair gull
#

heck id even say macos is better than windows for desktop

reef tundra
#

It works untill opsie doopsie update has not been tested as microsoft has fired all of their testing and offloaded it onto the consumers

#

Breaking stuff constantly

thick elk
#

For me personally windows doesn't just work. Shell scripts, guess I have to use subsystem linux, ssh, guess I also have to use subsystem linux, filemanager installing a different one is not really a nice experience and windows explorer is an insult to garbage. Oh wanna change the emoji font to something else, good luck and the list of things that don't work or are problematic on windows goes on.

fair gull
#

in my own experience on my pc i rarely had issues with win10

reef tundra
#

Like one update crashed the bluetooth service trying to stop it caused it to fully crash not even BBOD

fair gull
#

the only 2 issues i had might have been from dragging the install from xp to vista to 7 to 10

#

but in the ~4 years of win10 i only had 2 real issues

#

both of which were nothing major

#

the only times i see major shit like borked boot etc is on customer pcs

reef tundra
#

It murdered my boot more than 3 times already for me

#

With were all forced

#

No concent needed

fair gull
#

so go try sue them if u lost important data?

wheat plume
#

heck id even say macos is better than windows for desktop
@fair gull Looks better too , like it was actually made in modern times

thick elk
#

For me it comes down to mostly 2 things 1: I mostly depend on a lot of tools that do not work on windows natively. 2: windows just doesn't offer the features and nice to haves I like on linux.

fair gull
#

i am almost sure u gave ur concent when installing win10

#

@wheat plume idk i like win10 ui and macos ui both

reef tundra
#

haha, that is going to require tens of thousands of dollars

wheat plume
#

Fluent design is ok

fair gull
#

linux looks shit most of the time its not styled out for 20hours

wheat plume
#

the rest is sh it

#

linux looks shit most of the time its not styled out for 20hours
@fair gull Nah, plasma looks nice by default

fair gull
#

and i personally dont wanna spend too much time just to make looks ok

#

plasma looks garbage

thick elk
#

I personally couldn't care less and I also do not agree kde out of the box looks worse than windows 10

fair gull
#

kde looks better imo

wheat plume
#

...t

#

that is plasma

reef tundra
#

Also their UI is shit and has all kinds of diffferend themes

wheat plume
#

gnome looks like hsi tby default -.-

fair gull
#

plasma and pure kde is different

reef tundra
#

Like there are menus from windoes 10, 8, 7

wheat plume
#

KDE are the people who make plasma

reef tundra
#

Make it consistant

#

This is what linux is trying to do

fair gull
#

iirc theres kde and kde-plasma

#

unless i remember my arch laptop wrong

#

tbf i could remember wrong its been 3 years since i touched that cursed laptop

thick elk
#

maybe you confuse the plasma and kde meta-packages which do include different things.

reef tundra
#

Also the audio mixer thing in windows is useless I always goto the old way.

#

And the godfolder is a thing

fair gull
#

personally never touch the audio mixer

#

never felt the need to

thick elk
#

Oh yea My soundcard also randomly has issues on windows as does the printer on work.

fair gull
#

somehow feel like germany either gets better updates than the rest of the world or smth

reef tundra
#

Windows has also this weired bug with my mouse and usb stick that it causes my mouse to stop working sometimes

fair gull
#

all these problems i have never experienced

thick elk
#

Another thing linux beats windows on is integration with android. KDE connect is amazing, sure there is a windows port but it's not as good atm.

fair gull
#

i always hear and read about printers not working

#

but never had the issue

wheat plume
#

KDE connect is amazing
YES FUCKING YES

reef tundra
#

ALSO, DONT USE THE BUILD IN FACTORY RESET UNLESS BOOTLOOPS ARE FUN

fair gull
#

except for medical doctors who use 20year old printers

#

where we usually have an xp print server

#

just so they dont need to change how they print shit out of their software

thick elk
#

At work we have somewhat recent brother laser printers, they basically go in sleep mode after a while, windows sometimes fails to detect / wake it up and just reports it as offline. After some messing around it works again but this is not an issue I had on linux.

reef tundra
#

The windows 10 build in factory reset has claimed two os already from me

#

never worked

fair gull
#

brother doesnt produce laser printers tho

reef tundra
#

THey do??

fair gull
#

at least i wouldnt know they do

reef tundra
#

They are the printer company

fair gull
#

to my knowledge they only make led printers

#

and they are by far one of the worst companies i know for printers

#

id rather use kyocera, sharp or utax

reef tundra
#

All printer companies are shit

fair gull
#

way better copier/printers

thick elk
#

HP is arguably the worst

fair gull
#

plus they usually do 20k pages for 100โ‚ฌ

#

or so

#

na hp can share the throne with epson and canon

#

they all commit the same crimes

thick elk
#

their battle against using third party cardrages is what puts them on top.

#

canon and epson don't break them with firmware updates as far as I know

fair gull
#

true they break themselves shortly after 2 years

#

as if thats better

reef tundra
#

That is why I use a sweatshop to print my text

#

Ethical

thick elk
#

In my opinion when looking at lower end printers brother is generally the better option.

fair gull
#

i just use the laser copiers at work

#

we got 3

#

so /shrug

#

what do you qualify as lower end

#

id say 500โ‚ฌ is decent for lower end laser printers

#

with good material costs

reef tundra
#

That is why inkjet is the future man. Better prices for better profits

thick elk
#

For simple offices sub โ‚ฌ 100 is geneally all you need.

wheat plume
#

OMG GuYS PrIntERS arE a ScAM

fair gull
#

sub 100 oh noe

wheat plume
#

dom 100 oh yes

reef tundra
#

I just send a pdf and tell them to print it themselves

fair gull
#

thats smth where i tell my customers to go to the supermarket

#

most good printers dont need drivers if all u want is single page color/black

#

but

#

duplex

#

or sorting

#

or multi page

#

or heck even punching holes

#

ull need drivers

reef tundra
#

If your printer aint retard it works on the standard drivers

#

for the once made in 1980

#

Like how much does the driver need to change client sided to print a file

fair gull
#

depends on what u wanna do

reef tundra
#

The first display was a printer

fair gull
#

and what the printer/copier can do

thick elk
#

You know you could just use the standard api's in general.

fair gull
#

iirc theres no standard api for different paper tray

#

or output tray

reef tundra
#

inkjet is just a scam. Get laser

fair gull
#

or leaving out blank pages

#

and shit like that

#

@reef tundra but no cheap laser... click costs way too high

reef tundra
#

inkjet will break and it will cost you enormous amounts in ink. 2 years from now your ink will be used >50% to diagnose the thing

thick elk
#

Honestly the locked cardrages are a natural thing. If people prefer to pay extra on the cardrages instead of buying a printer at its actual cost, the model is the natural conclution.

fair gull
#

tbf

#

the free thing is useful for people who actually dont print much

#

especially with 2 cartridge printers

#

where the head is on the cartridge

reef tundra
#

Even a printing service from a third party will steal your wallet less

#

10 cent per page

fair gull
#

color or bw

reef tundra
#

Both are too high

fair gull
#

jesus 10cent for a color page

reef tundra
#

Also they but in a little color when printing in black and white

#

That paper must be from steel or something

#

Also the 15 pages per month dont add up

#

so useless when printing documents

#

That paper of 60 pages? Hope you have 4 months to spare

fair gull
#

i had enough customers who just print 4 or 5 pages a month

reef tundra
#

tbh if printing a document/paper you either print it at home, university or at some exclusive printer service

#

Or dont and just give the pdf and tell em to fuck off

#

learn to install browser

#

Just some pend up rage from clueless boomers angry about not able to read pdfs

#

Yes, that was me but in the moment

#

asking how one can life so ignorant

#

Yea some dont do that

#

and never bother

#

so xdoc is all they know

frozen anchor
#

well now edge browser opens pdfs automatically so theres no excuse literally just double click the pdf to open

reef tundra
#

But with pandoc I dont have any fears my retarded choice of typesetter wont be able to be read by a boomer

#

As it allows docx as output

#

probably misspelt it

#

Anyways, white hat hackers are wasting their time as hacking is illegal so problem no more bye

empty wren
#

Pretty sure white hat hackers are commissioned to find vulnerabilities and report them to higher ups

reef tundra
#

But hacking illegal so black hat hackers just stop because they love to obey the law

#

kuchh kuch

#

Clear text is the best stop wasting time and energy on "Encrypting" and "salting". The law will yeehaw the hackers and jail em so no problem

empty wren
#

Also black hat hackers are the ones researching and taking advantage of systems for personal gain

#

People who advocate security can be imprisoned

#

Because it is not convenient for the government to walk in to inspect data

reef tundra
#

Refering to some ISP claiming that cleartext was safe when it got leaked so no worry

#

cant find the tweet no more tho

#

The defination is actually quite vaque and hard to define. When does being white hat end, everything or limited (if allowed specifically or only by general contract)? Is someone bug hunting white hat or blackhat or grayhat? The thing that is really only important to define is: does the owner allow you to.

#

Also can latex be more cryptic with his error messages? logging 400 lines is fine but when it fail to just die and vague error is too far.

Ooo the green is better

pale sigil
#

can somone suggest some material flat themes for androidf

empty wren
#

Zure @pale sigil

#

I lovem

#

Colors?

pale sigil
#

ya mam

wheat plume
#

I'm guessing you install substratum?

pale sigil
#

blue/pink/yellow

#

idk

empty wren
#

Oh wait you mean themes I can still that too

#

Look into that

#

I personally use Flux, Pitch Black and Swift. Though my scheme is mostly pitch black elements with an accent.

pale sigil
#

Meh

#

i meant overall theme

empty wren
#

Liv can be nice

#

Other than that it is mostly black themes

#

Swift is close to stock

wheat plume
#

I saw someone using a really nice light theme before and I wish I remembered the name

empty wren
#

Flux is more styles than Pitch Black

pale sigil
#

Me no root

wheat plume
#

I think only supports stock Android without root?

#

Or do you need Andromeda?

empty wren
#

Check magisk weedman

pale sigil
#

Nah I donโ€™t root these days

empty wren
#

Oh...

wheat plume
#

You may need Andromeda to get rootless working

empty wren
#

Oreo?

#

If you have Oreo Andromeda runs on it

wheat plume
#

Oh

empty wren
#

Yeah screw the substratum team though for that

#

That solution deprecated

#

And they did not work to fix it

wheat plume
#

I wish swift installer could do light theme

empty wren
#

Watch them release swift light installer๐Ÿ˜‚

wheat plume
#

Xd

#

It says choose any background color
But you change the hex code to anything light it tells you it won't let you

empty wren
#

I think that is work in progress

#

Only flux I saw in substratum has that

pale sigil
#

Thank you open source

empty wren
#

We need more cool stuff on android

#

In terms of tweaks

ashen spindle
#

thats a lot of work you are doing there instead of just using tweetdeck

pale sigil

i dont like or need tweetdeck

ashen spindle
#

blasphemy

chrome estuary

@pale sigil Hey! I got an iPad Pro and jailbroke it

#

any tweaks you suggest for it?

pale sigil
#

And im guessing you're gonna give it me

#

thanks

chrome estuary
#

yeah

#

right

#

it's for media and emulation

empty wren
#

And im guessing you're gonna give it me
iPad = weed?

pale sigil
#

adblock
biack keyboard
dark keys
filebrowser
ifile
kodi
letmeblock (dns stuff)
open ssh
youtube tools

#

i dont do much with mine other than media consumption

chrome estuary
#

any more specifics on the names?
I've gotten Filza for a file browser
I got Youtube Reborn but it's kinda not working or making youtube act stupid rn so i might switch
Couldn't get any adblocker to work other than adguard but that only works for safari

pale sigil
#

use brav

#

brave

#

for your browser

#

it blocks all ads etc

chrome estuary
#

i used to use it on the note 9, didn't even think to look for it on iPad

pale sigil
#

useful repo for some stuff

empty wren
#

You use Kodi for movies right :S

chrome estuary
#

i just use amazon prime and netflix
Would use Disney+ as well but i kinda forgot my cousins login info

pale sigil
#

kodi is strictly for porn

empty wren
#

Oh okay excuseable then

pale sigil
#

joking

#

i used touse kodi for movies and tv shows

#

these days i use plex

empty wren
#

Yeah because I would be surprised if they did not crack down on that

pale sigil
#

No lol

#

they will never crack down on it

chrome estuary
#

yeah i don't have a plex server

empty wren
#

Well Kodis

#

They did

pale sigil
#

No?

empty wren
#

Yep

pale sigil
#

When?

wheat plume
#

Snapchat is coded so badly that having dark theme is unusable

empty wren
#

People even went to jail

pale sigil
#

THats IPVTV

empty wren
#

And had to pay out for damages

#

Not kodi

#

I mean the addons

#

Sorry for the confusion

pale sigil
#

IPTV is hte only addons

#

that have had this issue

#

as they are actually quite shady

#

im against iptv

#

its literal theft

chrome estuary
#

as far as I can tell... Youtube Tools is working better than Youtube Reborn...

#

by that I mean... it actually works

pale sigil
#

ye

#

it does everything except download

chrome estuary
#

I don't really need to download or I could find something else to do that for me.

pale sigil
#

what are you using to sideload

chrome estuary
#

I just needed no fuckin ads cause I was tired of getting like 5 god damn ads on a 30min video

pale sigil
#

and what are you using to jb

#

youtube tools allows background play btw

chrome estuary
#

unc0ver
13.4.1
Altstore
Cydia

pale sigil
#

Ye same

#

lol

#

its pretty shitty that cydia impactor is dead

chrome estuary
#

isn't your iPad old enough to support checkra1n?
Also I never knew what Cydia Impactor was cause I lost interest in the jailbreak scene around iOS like... 7?

#

then just last week got an iPad cause I wanted a good tablet for media consumption and emulation

pale sigil
#

im using ios 12

chrome estuary
#

what processor does your device have?

#

I could've and probably should've gotten a Galaxy Tab 6 or 7

#

but shrug

pale sigil
#

A9 64bit

#

nah man

#

fuck android tabs

chrome estuary
#

If I could've put LineageOS on it. I might've seriously considered it

pale sigil
#

not with knox

#

xD

chrome estuary
#

The Tab S5e could do LineageOS

#

also why don't you update and go with Checkra1n?

pale sigil
#

i dont like ios 13

chrome estuary
#

hmm, alright

pale sigil
#

literally not asingle reason for me to use it

#

and i was on ios 10 for a longggg itme

#

lol

chrome estuary
#

it just feels like iOS to me

pale sigil
#

i have the IPad 2017

#

Still running smooth like day 1

chrome estuary
#

That's good

#

Lots of people claim the iPad Pro can do 1440p Gamecube at 100%. While it's almost true. There are some occasional stutters so going 1080p is better

pale sigil
#

i want the ipad pro just for drawing xD

#

but its so expensive

chrome estuary
#

ngl i'd enjoy the apple pencil

#

but I refuse to buy it

pale sigil
#

its amazing

#

it shits on every drawing tablet etc

#

or well most (exluding ones that cost like 1k+ ofc)

chrome estuary
#

I hate trying to find a good case for this fucker though

pale sigil
#

wwhen i have a solid income

chrome estuary
#

I got a 3rd party folio because fuck you apple and your 80$ for your folio and it's nice but the cover doesn't magnetize to the back of the case.
I got a bumper case with a protective back but the fucking cut out for the plug is too small for the USB-C cable I bought for the iPad

pale sigil
#

im buying a pro + pen

chrome estuary
#

it's a fucking exceptionally beautiful screen

#

but I've already kinda gotten used to the 144hz

#

shit 120

#

either way

pale sigil
#

lol i drew an android mascott pissing on an apple logo in the apple store

#

but i couldn't help but be amazed

#

as i was drawing it

#

because its so good xD

chrome estuary
#

yeah i just can't justify the 140$ or whatever it is for the apple pencil

#

since I'd need/want the Gen 2

pale sigil
#

i feel you

#

I would never do it unless i had a solid income

#

were i can do it without caring

#

xD

chrome estuary
#

need cause no lightning connector unless I use dad's ipad.
want cause y'know... yeah

#

also I have a solid income but I still can't justify it.

pale sigil
#

idk its weird, usually im lik that

#

but i want one so bad

#

i cant justify the ipad itself

#

but i can the pencil

#

lol

chrome estuary
#

yeah

pale sigil
#

also there are much cheaper options

#

tbh

chrome estuary
#

yeah but they don't work as well

#

also the new magic keyboard is really cool but not worth the 300$

pale sigil
#

haha

chrome estuary
#

since this fucker was already 800$

pale sigil
#

its really not

chrome estuary
#

if I really want a keyboard on it, I use my bluetooth thinkpad keyboard

#

also something else that's really nice. USB-C. That means normal USB-C hubs work on it, I'm already apart of the USB-C Atmosphere because of my Note 9 and my desktop having a USB-C port on it.

pale sigil
#

the alterantivs are really good

#

but the main con is no pressure sensativity

chrome estuary
#

I really hate discord on it cause I can't adjust the font or anything

#

also typing on it is kinda difficult.

pale sigil
#

i was tempted to get a normal ipad + pencil vs a pro too at one point

#

ye the pro is huge

#

use split keyboard

chrome estuary
#

I got the 11"

#

which is still massive

pale sigil
#

these are not that expensive

chrome estuary
#

dad's got that one

#

329$

#

A10 chip

pale sigil
#

ยฃ267.59

#

ic an get it for

#

IPad air is also an option

chrome estuary
#

ye

#

A12, 10.9"

chrome estuary
#

I would've gotten a 2018 iPad Pro tbh

#

if they weren't the same fucking cost

#

which is why I bought the 2020

old marlin
#

wtf do you use an ipad for though

#

329 is kinda expensive just for drawing

reef patrol
#

Not compared to a Wacom

old marlin
#

a wacom doesn't need to recharge the pen though

#

and has a better input

reef patrol
#

And is much more expensive

fair gull
#

a good wacom needs pen recharge cause bluetooth

#

the cheaper ones dont

#

but tbh the cheaper pens lack imo

#

no eraser and such

#

and yes a good wacoom is more expensive but id say spending a grand or 2 on a new monitor for drawing on it is reasonable

#

especially given the extra buttons u get etc

frozen anchor
#

If you buy a Wacom tablet and the pen has a battery you are an idiot

#

Even their cheap tablets are batteryless

#

Also you can totally draw on an intuos

pale sigil
#

They just ainโ€™t the same though

#

Iโ€™ve used them and I really donโ€™t like them

fair gull
#

@frozen anchor ik the cheap ones are battery less but they also feel cheap and lack sone functions

frozen anchor
#

a heavy pen is not a good thing

#

battery pens are way heavier

#

also the wacom cintiqs dont have battery pens

#

batteryless is a good thing

#

im pretty sure wacom doesnt even sell any tablets with battery pens anymore actually

fair gull
#

the cintiq i tested had battery pen

#

and it was god

#

way better than my current wacom

frozen anchor
#

I like lighter pens way better myself

RIP Mac gaming. No more x86 ๐Ÿ˜†

ARM CPUs from Apple

ashen spindle

no way they are actually comitting suicide gloryKeK

#

No more x86 intel

#

Mac gaming was good back in the 90s and early 2000s. Back when Macs actually came with graphics cards.

thick elk
#

You can cross compile to arm reasonably well, generally though mac gaming has been on the decline for a while and never was great in the first place.

#

back when they where still on power pc

reef patrol
#

Ran just fine back then.

thick elk
#

I don't think for newer games them going arm is that big of an extra hurdle.

#

The fact that they basically want to force metal as the graphics api hurts them more, even if you can easily port from vulkan.

reef patrol

I'm going to bet it means fewer will care.

x86 is shit, overbloated ISA and gigantic issues, but I dont see armv8 beating it either
