run these two commands:

sudo apt install mlocate

I feel like we’ve been having the same conversation for 20 years. Meanwhile the linux family of operating systems is now the most widely deployed in the world.

Not sure what your goal is but to make it so nothing can be exexuted in there you can put /home on its own filesystem and mount it with the “noexec” option.

i love mpd and will check this out

A while ago I did this by making a custom wallpaper with a box on it and set the capture region to the box.

If you ran this as a non-root user then you didn’t move any system files you just made some copies. Delete the new copies and you should be fine.

Thats the concise help text to keep it short and easy to read.

The first line in the GNU Bash manual section on loop constructs says “Note that wherever a ‘;’ appears in the description of a command’s syntax, it may be replaced with one or more newlines.”

Serious question, why use a semicolon to put do and then on the end of the previous line?

Especially when do/done are the open and close control directives for a block.

Don’t you think bash looks much cleaner when you use it how it was designed?

MX Enlightenment Respin has a unique and excellent look. Add some Propaganda Wallpaper Tiles to further enhance the vibe https://github.com/BenjaminHCCarr/PropagandaTiles

I started using linux Slackware in 1996. First time I was paid to install linux on a server in 1998. It was Red Hat 5.2 way before they switch to Enterprise Linux.

Been my desktop daily driver since 1999.

Yes, I’m old.

I’ve been a Spotify subscriber since 2012 and every year it has gotten worse and worse in term of UX.

I think this is the year I quit and go back to buying and ripping CDs.

Plex tracks everything you watch

Over the air broadcasts, DVD and Blurays from thriftshops bought with cash, jelly for your dowloads you get over VPN.

Not much better.

They let you reduce it to 540 partners they somehow deem “essential” most of which are ad networks.

Start protecting your privacy by not visiting the Verge and the 876 partners they share your personal data with.

I’ve come to realize that bluesky already had all lot of what I’m happy to not see on masto. Good that there is a place for it to exist without me.

That content is also probably what the majority of people like about it.

I’ve been using linux for over 25 years and I don’t understand this post. One of the strengths of linux is that you don’t need a gui to do sysadmin.

Sure but your goal is illumination not power savings.
