I comment the commands that I want and then use vim to remove ones without comments.

For example, I run:

longandannoyingcommand -f1 -f2 -f3 # keep, does something useful

Usually comment explains what the command does so I can find it by description using fzf history search. And then you can easily find all lines that contain (or do not contain “# keep”) in your history to remove or keep.

Looks like the site is down or blocked in my country.

Could anyone please be so nice and copy paste those commands here?

For some reason benchmarks won’t load on my device.

Could anyone please upload the images somewhere else?

I’m trying to tinker with my system and replace a perfectly good and well optimized default kernel for some kernel made for specific niche use cases and I don’t see any performance increase. Why would it be?

Yes, surprisingly the default kernel is optimized well rather than just being a badly written placeholder that users should manually replace for their system to become usable.

It’s 2025 and stuff is designed to just work out of the box.

Keypirinha. Krunner is good but not that good.

Sharex. Spectacle is fine but not perfect.

Sometimes I think that I miss skeuomorphism, but then I realize it’s not the skeuomorphism that I miss, but my childhood and days when the world was much simpler.

Would I like to bring back skeuomorphic UIs? Yes.

That one misaligned arrow bugs me…

BTRFS works for me.

I tried NTFS, but Steam games won’t run from NTFS partitions under Linux.

Removed commands: nethack

What? screen had nethack builtin?

I saw Linux used on Boeing passenger service systems.

I think any person with ability to read and follow instruction can install arch in 15 minutes (excluding waiting for things to download), there is nothing special about it.

What do you mean by people being obsessed over Arch?

Archlinux is Linux, it’s just a minimal distro that allows you to only use whatever you want to use. I have no idea what’s with being obsessed over it other than «use arch btw» which became a local meme recently.

Not if you use vertical tabs.

DimStar sounds familiar… But I can’t remember where I could hear about him.

I use Quassel hosted on my server.

Arch never broke for me.

Unless you seek trouble and do stuff without knowing what you are doing (like blindly copy pasting commands from internet into your terminal), it generally just works.

It’s not as good as those distros where all packages come preconfigured for you to work nicely together, so if you want to build a custom system (like, choose your DE/WM/panels/widgets etc), you have to configure all of that to intergate nicely. But you could always just install KDE and everything is pretty stable there, same as in any other KDE based distro.

Is it trying to solve any problem that is not solved by rsync/rclone?

Don’t get me wrong, I love new tools, just curious how is it different (better or worse) from rsync?

Probably it would be better to edit my comment, but I’ll go with a reply to myself.

To all fans of RSS: there’s this service called FeedBase that is essentially a RSS to NNTP gate. You add your RSS feed to that and it becomes a newsgroup on their server, and you can subscribe to it using any NNTP client. New articles appear as new posts in that newsgroup and you can post your own replies to them. So, you get RSS but with discussions or comments.

https://feedbase.org/

If you try this, let me know what RSS feeds you’re reading, so we could read the articles together and have some discussion there!

P.S. This comment is not an ad. I genuinely love feedbase and use that myself.

Others have said already, but XMPP and RSS. Also, nobody mentioned NNTP yet.

I wish everything was accessible by NNTP and we had better NNTP clients. NNTP is like RSS but for forums (so, Lemmy, Reddit, or anything where you could reply to posts). Download for offline reading, read in your client, define your own formatting, sorting, filtering, your client, your rules.

If Lemmy was accessible via NNTP, I could just download all posts and comments I’m interested in and reply to them without any connection, and my replies would get synced with the server later when I connect to WiFi or something.

Is there a link to this talk (or interview, or whatever this is) but in a video format, or at least a text without all those «SEE ALSO» self ads?
