Really cool art. The music is smooth af. It sounds like a super smooth version of Om Unit. Basically experimental drum and bass, definetly very original tho.
Edit: man this is awesome. Any fan of ambient, dnb or music should listen to these guys.. Listening to the References Of Synthesis album atm.
One thing about the thumbdrives, a LOT of features did not work for me when running live bootable, and it almost put me off. Then I made the actuall full install and a lot of the stuff that had not worked now did. Just so people understand the live bootables are very much just a demo, and doesn't say much about compatibility really.
Nice I didn't know that ^^ should probably learn at least the basic bash operators, I am just hacking together the different commands I happen to know at the moment really
Edit: why echo instead of printf?
This was causing a lot of issues with newlines, like when I fetched the log to view it my $ was right after the log entry so I switched it back. But it is probably useful in the future to use >> instead :)
Haha thank you. It was hell for a while but eventually it became fun :p learned a lot as well that I probably wouldn't have otherwise..
Idk if it is normal, maybe not. I do k ow the broadcom issue is tho. And the crashing installers one for example was something I saw a "solution" for by random, when just watching random linux on mba 2012 setup videos to see what I was doing wrong. No other mention anywhere but right in the middle of this video was someone else with the same problem.. So it obviously wasn't just me.
The broadcom chips are largely a goddamn mess apparently. See this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers
But know that this info is not working for me, and I had to use this instead: https://www.thetestspecimen.com/posts/broadcom-wifi-modules-fedora/
I don't think you will be running into any other issues really but these are INFURIATING when you don't know where to start. If you decide to go for an intel mac then spend some time looking up the drivers and issues beforehand I think. Also, I went down many rabbitholes because I am new to linux, if you have some experience this probably isn't that bad idk..
That does sound nice, thank you for the suggestion
Yeah it is like my own small blog and it really helps remembering for me :)
I will look up rsync, I have no proper backup yet except a script that just copies some folders and files that are important..
It is not as cryptic as it sounded I just explained it badly.
Log everything you do in human readable text, because realistically as a beginner going through machine generated logs is not very fun, and .bash_history will be filled with stuff that isn't relevant always.
It is just a bash script that logs a message with the current date to a file I can access from MacOS as well (on the shared partition) so that I can see what I did if I mess up too bad..
Edit:
Here it is:
# Log argument to changelog.txt with current date and time.
function log()
{
local changelog="/run/media/jamie/DUAL/changelog"
local text="$(cat $changelog)"
if [ "$1" == "--view" ]; then
cat $changelog
else
printf "$text\n$(date +%D:%H:%M): $1\n" > $changelog
fi
}
Each line looks like this: 03/16/25:11:49: Running dnf upgrade
I will probably add some stuff so I can get the last 5 lines or something if I want, but at the moment this is really fine.
XFCE is really fast for me as well! I thought I was fine with how slow Catalina was running, and I was but now it is kind of painful when I have to boot back into MacOS and it feels slooow..
Good choice! It rocked :D
In that case maybe Alenah and Eldstad can be fun. Small local bands from that scene.
Your post got me listening to bands I used to like tho! Like "This Is Not A Game Of Who The Fuck Are You". 101010 album is great
I have tried winding the gears back to starting position but now whenever I try to predict the solstice it is incorrect, causing great embarrassment at the local sect. I bought this because those young men in white robes drawing mystic figures in the sand convinced me it would help me with my predictions, and that it was a lot easier than traditional augury or lining up rocks like the celts do. I call bullshit, what the hell is the problem with traditional birds entrails telling you these things? I spent a goat on this and it isn't working, and I released all the birds because I thought I wouldn't need them anymore and now I am freaking out, if I don't get this right Zeus know what the initiae will do to me.
Anyways, any of you have experience with this issue?
Thanks that is real helpful! A lot easier than what I had fuzzily in mind
