That is a very good question. It all started as a dainty test setup, and I guess, we had lost the routine of always scripting hardware setups, because our previous project hadn’t required it.
Obviously, the second-best time to start doing it is now, but I’d need to properly learn one of these first to be able to lead the way on that.
Which collides with me not really wanting to use any of the ones I’ve experienced so far (Ansible, Puppet) in my freetime. 🫠
Doesn’t that just cut one line at a time? Or is this Emacs-like, where it buffers the lines?
That host doesn’t have internet access, though, so installing a different editor wasn’t really an option to begin with…
Recently had to edit the hosts-file on a remote host, and I don’t know if using two proxy jumps to SSH into it broke it, but it just wouldn’t let me select text with the mouse.
I had to duplicate seven lines and edit the IP addresses, and without being able to copy-paste, I already saw myself manually typing it out.
Then I remembered that in Vim, you can do d5↓ to delete 5 lines. Surely that would also work with copying/yanking. And yep, a y7↓ and a paste later and I had duplicated the lines.
Then use the multi-line cursor like I routinely do for changing all 7 IP addresses…
…and now I feel like I’ve crossed the line where people will think I’m just a wizard.
Never was terribly happy with the previous Tumbleweed wallpaper. It’s background being so dark really clashed with the default light theme for KDE:
I guess, it looked better on GNOME:
But yeah, I’m hoping this rebranding means we’ll see appropriately set light and dark default wallpapers…
Finde das irgendwie maximal absurd. Primär, weil ich’s schon irgendwie nachvollziehen kann, warum das die Kinder schützt, aber es eben eigentlich einfach nur eine Webseite sein will, auf der man mit Freunden quatscht.
Irgendwie sind wir in einer Realität gelandet, in der die Nutzung so einer Webseite Gefahr birgt.
Mir wäre es lieber, wir würden erfolgreich die Gefahr verbieten anstatt zu sagen, dass man sich erst ab 15 dieser Gefahr aussetzen darf.
Ja, in dem Fall hat mich ein Suchvorschlag etwas fehlgeleitet, also nicht nur wegen der Jeans.
Ich wollte eigentlich so kompostierbare Papiertüten. Da sagt zumindest das Landratsamt Kitzingen, dass die eine gute Wahl sind: https://www.abfallwelt.de/abfaelle/kompostierbare-biomuellbeutel/
Ja, kann gut sein, ich fand’s aber besonders irritierend, weil “bio müllbeutel” tatsächlich ein Suchvorschlag war. Ich dachte, dafür hat es relevante Ergebnisse und dann kommt eine Mom-Jeans…
Hmm, I read that the KDE devs changed the Breeze cursor to use SVG files, which allows scaling it for the shake-cursor-feature of Plasma 6.1. That feature’s only available on Wayland, but yeah, no idea if this really couldn’t be done on X11…
Is the normal Breeze cursor not an option?
I’m also not quite sure what you mean with “Wayland cursor”, but I’m using the default Breeze cursor under Wayland without problems…
Both parents are on openSUSE KDE. They only use the web browser and printer, so it pretty much doesn’t matter what UI they use, but it really helped with their acceptance that KDE not only works similar to Windows, it was a clear upgrade from Windows 7, with it looking more modern and being a lot faster.
I also like openSUSE for this, because YaST allows me to administer their PC without cracking out the terminal for everything. It just gives them at least a tiny bit of hope that they might be able to do this themselves. And my brother, who’s not a Linux person, has managed to fix things via YaST without my help.
Ultimately, though, I use openSUSE KDE myself, and that’s really important.
If my parents mildly complain about something, I can proactively offer to change that, because I know all the settings of KDE and YaST.
Or if I don’t know whether there’s a setting, I can go digging for it on my system.
But perhaps most importantly:
“This Linux thing isn’t working.” – “Hmm, it’s working on my system, so there’s gotta be a way to fix it.”
That immediately shuts down any negativity, so I can concentrate on fixing it, rather than deflecting their grumbling.
That’s the sad part. If there’s one thing that the open-source community produces an abundance of, it’s definitely text editors, but music players are a close second.
Previously, we’ve had XMMS as an open-source project that supported WinAmp skins.
And right now, perfectly actively maintained, there is QMMP.
I’d bet money that the code quality of QMMP is a lot higher than that of WinAmp. So, if anyone wanted an open-source WinAmp, it was there all along.
People are saying that the repo contained third-party code, some of which was proprietary, some was GPL. That’s two angles from which they could be sued very easily…
Well, qmmp is very much alive: https://qmmp.ylsoftware.com
Ja, wirklich, dass die wenig soziale Politik machen ist eine Sache, aber dass sie ausgerechnet bei einem Investorenprojekt für Superreiche dafürstimmen macht gar keinen Sinn.
From what I understand, it works like this:
Ist so ein Grund, warum ich mir etwas Abstand zu den ganzen “veganen Alternativen” halte und stattdessen mich eher auch mit Linsen, Tofu und Co. ausprobiere. Umso komplexer die Rezeptur ist, umso mehr Verschlimmbesserungspotenzial gibt es für die Unternehmen…
Yeah, when I then used Visual Block mode to do the multi-line cursor, I realized I probably could’ve selected+yanked it that way, too.
But that is some good info nonetheless. I wasn’t actually aware of the different Visual modes…
