Thanks for the detailed explanation, makes a lot of sense! I guess what I did was set up a UEFI entry that specifies the location of the Linux kernel without any intermediate bootloader. Pretty sure I didn’t set the fallback, so I’m guessing that’s still owned by windows.

What is that latter fallback called? I set up my boot manually using an EFI stub last time I installed arch but wasn’t aware of any fallback bootloader

I think this’ll be good. Pixar’s Soul had an incredible electronic soundtrack

I went to a trivia night at a local bar with a guy from high school and his family. We were in contention for the top. The whole night I was useless, since most of the questions were about European sports legends or actors or singers from the 20th century. The guy starts feeling up the last question:

“This is a tricky one and one of my favorites. Going to the realm of technology… What is the name for a unit of measurement, named after a Disney character, which is related to how far your mouse moves?”

The whole family looks at me, cause I’m known to be a tech guy.

Complete blank. Flustered. Uhhh uhmmm it’s called DPI? Pointer speed?? Is there a Disney character called Peter Pointer?..

We lost. They were disappointed, but not as disappointed as I was in myself.

Went up to the trivia guy at the end to ask him to show his sources. He pulled up a legit looking wikipedia article so I accepted my defeat.

I think neovim with kickstart has out-of-the-box support for go, or if not, should be configurable with two added lines (add the treesitter parser and LSP). Unlike nvchad and lunarvim and stuff, this is not a “distribution” of neovim but a good starting point for a config that makes it easy to slowly learn how to add stuff and change stuff as you see fit.

At the beginning, you can add languages that you need support for pretty easily by adding to a list of LSPs and Treesitter parsers that should be installed; later on you can start adding and configuring plugins as you wish.

I’d say it sets you up about the same level as Helix or a little less than VSCode.

Why? The quotes will be consumed by the shell when you execute the command, unless you do like "'{}'"

My solution for this has been on my Linux machine, using keyd, to swap alt and super, and map super+c, super+v to copy and paste. (I also map super+L, super+R, super+T and super+W in Firefox to the control- equivalents using keyd’s per-application bindings functionality)

Switching it at the terminal emulator level should work fine for every CLI/TUI though, right? Just have your terminal send 0x03 when you press C-S-c and copy selected text on C-c. I haven’t tested it but I’m sure that alacritty, wezterm, windows terminal and probably tmux can do this.

If this is about line endings, surely a simple shell or python script could correct them?

Aren’t pants a sphere with two holes? (A double torus?)

Edit: a 3d pair of pants is a double torus, a 2d one is a sphere with three holes

For the last point, even worse on Mac

What does that mean? When I’ve used yay, it only asks for sudo privileges when installing the package (and so does pacman)

I can never get this to work properly… Do you have any resources?

Any Linux distro should work for the setup you want. I have radarr, sonarr, sabnzbd, deluge and jellyfin running on an Arch setup, but something more accessible like Ubuntu or Debian should work fine (although I’m not familiar with whether the Pi4 can power those heavier distros). If you’re comfortable with the command line, it doesn’t matter much which distro you pick since you can install and configure all those apps over ssh.

Really into these dutch invasion memes eh?

I am not an AirVPN user, but you might want to look for whether AirVPN supports filtering traffic based on port numbers, and then you can set a fixed port in your torrent client which AirVPN will always route through the VPN (and allow other traffic such as DNS and HTTPS to go around it).

Some VPNs support app-based split tunneling (such as Mullvad), but it seems from a quick search that AirVPN doesn’t. But if it supports port based filters, you can accomplish the same thing.

In the statement from the NGO they threaten legal action. Is there grounds/precedent for such a thing? Don’t you use open source code at your own risk?
