Also Poland: 2-3 calls in a day from bots trying to convince to buy photovoltaics, then nothing for a few weeks. It used to be much, much worse.

My phone number is pretty old though, so it has been leaked lots of times probably.

I thought for a minute that Linux now panics when trying to play DRM'd content

Even when you don't know the language, you can judge if something is an ad just by an overly excited tone of voice. I wonder if someone has tried writing an ad detection algorithm already. It would still be a lot heavier on resources than SponsorBlock.

 

I'm looking for a video where cyclist covered a car parked on a bike lane with a carpet looking like a bike lane.

I don't know about its derivatives, but Mandriva had something similar.

LaTeX and ConTeXt are both macros for TeX. LyX is a graphical editor which outputs LaTeX.

Actually, PulseEffects has been renamed into EasyEffects and is PipeWire only now

  • Fish. Much, much saner defaults.
  • I am writing #!/usr/bin/env sh for dead simple scripts, so they will be a tiny bit more portable and run a tiny bit faster. The lack of arrays causes too much pain in longer scripts. I would love to use Fish, but it lacks a strict mode.
  • No, why would I?
  • I used to share all my dotfiles, scripts included, but I was too afraid that I would publish some secrets someday, so I stopped doing that. For synchronizing commands, aliases and other stuff between computers I use Chezmoi.
  • To use Fish instead of fighting with start up time of Zsh with hundreds of plugins
  • Always use the so-called "strict mode" in Bash, that is, the set -euo pipefail line. It will make Bash error on non-zero exit code, undefined variables and non-zero exit codes in commands in pipe. Also, always use shellcheck. It's extremely easy to make a mistake in Bash. If you want to check the single command exit code manually, just wrap it in set +e and set -e.
  • Consider writing your scripts in Python. Like Bash, it also has some warts, but is multiplatform and easy to read. I have a snippet which contains some boilerplate like a main function definition with ArgumentParser instantiated. Then at the end of the script the main function is called wrapped in try … except KeyboardInterrupt: exit(130) which should be a default behavior.
  • Absolutely not a bad practice. If you need to use them on a remote server and can't remember what they stand for, you can always execute type some_command. Oh, and read about abbreviations in Fish. It always expands the abbreviation, so you see what you execute.

I don't have the "Used space" column, probably because I have quota disabled. I managed to find out using btdu, that the snapshot 1137 takes ~8.3 GiB.

I cannot delete it using that command, because it is marked with "+" which means it is the "btrfs default subvolume", according to snapper manual. I wonder if there is still a way to get rid of it.

 

A few months ago, I rolled back to a previous btrfs snapshot using Snapper. Now I am constantly running out of space, no matter how many packages I delete and I'm wondering if that is the reason. The snapshot list looks like this:

$ sudo snapper -c root list
    # | Type   | Pre # | Date                             | User | Cleanup | Description            | Userdata
------+--------+-------+----------------------------------+------+---------+------------------------+---------
   0  | single |       |                                  | root |         | current                |         
1137+ | single |       | Thu 31 Aug 2023 07:55:47 PM CEST | root |         | writable copy of #1115 |         

Does snapshot 1137 contain all the changes made since August? I so, can I somehow delete it?

EDIT Changed "snapshot 0" to "snapshot 1137"
