  • Sometimes I get downvotes that make no sense, so I just chose to believe it was an accident.

  • atlwiki - All Things Linux Wiki

    Jump

  • btw, you've typoed the name: altwiki makes me think it's an alt-right version of Wikipedia.

  • PewDiePie promote Linux to his millions of subscribers

    Jump

  • I don't think people should downvote this Linux-related content that's in a Linux sub just because it's been posted on different servers in the Fediverse. People are too free with their downvotes.

  • Oof, that's embarrassing for a "hacker" distro. I guess they have too many red teamers and no blue.

  • Linus Torvalds Expresses His Hatred For Case-Insensitive File-Systems

    Jump

  • But you're misrepresenting my argument.

    Hardly, I'm directly addressing your statement that case insensitive is intuitive to users, grandmas or otherwise - I give examples where it's not initiative or obvious which filenames match. I didn't mention ease of implementation at all.

    The principle of least surprise is an important UX consideration, and your idea of effectively introducing collation and localising which files conflict is just trading one problem for another set of problems and suprises (e.g. copying directories between drives with different settings).

  • Linus Torvalds Expresses His Hatred For Case-Insensitive File-Systems

    Jump

  • Case insensitive is more intuitive

    Are these the same filename?

    • ΑΓΑΘΉ.txt
    • αγαθή.txt

    What about these?

    • MY-NOTES-ON-Δ.txt
    • μυ-notes-on-δ.txt

    Databases have different case-insensitive collations - these control what letters are equivalent to each other. The fact that there's multiple options should tell you that there's no one-size-fits-all solution to case insensitivity.

    This issue is only simple and obvious if you don't know enough about it.

  • It is a map, though, unlike OP's image!

  • Sad because the UK's quite small/unsunny and that means most other countries aren't doing much?

    I thought that the UK was quite strong in wind, so it'd be interesting to see that charted.

  • [MIT] does not allow removing the original license and purport that the code was created by someone else.

    Sounds like it wouldn't matter which licence he used. Shitty behaviour from Microsoft.

    Infuriating Indentation Heuristic

  • I'm not sure about the exact setup (default or yours), but is it possible that there's a prettifier that's responsible?

  • Getting used to Helix

    Jump

  • Not quite what you were asking for, but there is https://tomgroenwoldt.github.io/helix-shortcut-quiz/

    It's quite good for letting you know about things you didn't know you could do, but sometimes it tells me I'm wrong because I'd do it a different way - e.g. I'd go to line 13 by :13 but it wants 13G.

    Also, from within Helix you can do space ? to get the list of commands and any bindings they're on.

    edit: also, FYI Helix and similar are modal, not modular (although there is a plugin system on the way).

  • I have Tasker running, and you can set it up to do this too. Between ntfy and Google's version I think I'm covered already!

  • Confused about the many ebook/manga management solutions

    Jump

  • Most of the manga I have is amateur translated stuff, so the metadata quality varies with release groups.

    The graphic novels are generally retail releases, but sometimes I still want to edit to get rid of marketing words (e.g. the title might mention how it's now a Netflix series or something).

  • I guess I've just been lucky then! I've stripped DRM off everything else, so I expect theirs would come off using the same tools.

  • The latest Kindle update broke the jailbreak even if it was installed, so you'll need to stop updates. You could just leave it in airplane mode, but not being able to use the internet to pull down books from your Calibre-web server means you may as well just send books via Calibre.

    I'm planning on getting a Kobo Clara BW when my Kindle dies (it's currently got holes at the corners and a few dodgy-sounding rattles so soon™). Then I can use Koreader+Calibre-web to download books and sync read state like you can do with Amazon.

    So your process here is get comics -> comictagger -> upload to server and kavita, correct?

    Pretty much, apart from that I often add them and only fix if necessary, e.g. they're not going into series properly.

  • None of the books I've bought from kobo.com have DRM.

  • How do you handle absolutely critical alerts on your Android phone?

    Jump

  • I went with ntfy as well - you can set the different levels to alert in different ways and my max priority is set to always ring even if the phone is on silent. Mostly I use max prio as a find-my-phone tool, but there are real alerts that would use it.
