what about (rule)
I kind of want to try wayland just to be modern, but I’m pretty happy with xmonad and don’t want to learn another window manager.
What about plain old x = -10?
-10 ^ 2 = 100
-10 ^ 3 = -1000
-10 ^ 5 = -100000
Probably RFP, I’m guessing. But I found that turning RFP off didn’t help.
Is there any reason you can’t change your keybinds to something other than CTRL+combo?
ctrl-alt-<key> is wide open. For the rest you have to check with different browsers, its a pain. And you end up with combos that aren’t very mnemonic. Technically I CAN change the combos to whatever, but I’d like to know WHY I have to do that.
It’s your hill to die on but I wouldn’t make my website usability dependent on a browser that is so rarely seen.
That’s exactly what I don’t want to do, make my website less usable for the sake of the rarely seen librewolf. Is that what you meant?
I think nixos is still niche, but seems to be gaining momentum. It has some unique features:
- Every package has its own dependencies, so you can install a 7 year old firefox alongside the latest, and have no interference.
- Packages with dependencies in common still share them (for space savings).
- Abandons the HFS, but can still fake it for apps that need it.
- Can make dev environments that are exactly reproducible across machines, and only exist within a specific shell session. So you can have a project that relies on an out of date version of a compiler, and another that uses the latest, and run both at the same time.
- Make your own packages that other people can install using a git repo address.
- The package language can also describe a machine’s configuration; systemd services, default packages, user accounts, etc.
- You can build and remotely deploy a machine config in one line.
- You can cross compile a machine config for another cpu architecture, like ARM.
- OS upgrades are atomic, and reversible. If it doesn’t work out, you can go back to the previous config.
- No reason to ever reinstall. Recently upgraded a machine that had sat in a closet for 5 years to the newest release. Flawless upgrade.
- Nixos boasts more packages than any other distro, over 100,000.
There are certainly downsides - poor docs, confusing core language. Instructions for installing something on say debian will not work on nixos. I do think this style of package management is the future, if perhaps not this specific implementation. It can be a pain but its also super solid.
I went the jank monstrosity path. Well, a few scripts anyway.
I use an app called SimpleSSHD on the phone that lets me ssh in. Then rsync to transfer files. The script to sync pictures is like this:
# file 'droidip' contains the local wifi ip of the phone.
dip=$(cat droidip)
rsync --append-verify --progress -avz -e "ssh -p 2222" root@$dip:/sdcard/DCIM/Camera newphonepix
Truthfully it was as much about learning rsync as anything, and now I’m sticking with it because momentum I guess. adb is way faster if you really need to move a lot of files.
