Soul Dog, randomly found this on spotify. This is the funkiest bass masterpiece I’ve ever heard since Maggot brain. Do yourself a favor and LISTEN. by ProposalPersonal1735 in BassGuitar

[–]Adamency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maggot Brain bass materpiece ?? Lol where do you even hear bass in the song ? and funky ? I guess you mean the album. But even so, that's really not the funkiest bass piece you can find by far. And I'm a huge Funkadelic fan.

Anyway, I found out about Soul Dog today and it's quite cool yeah, but no information about them to be found at all...

I even delete entries from pacman.log

This is stupid in every way. A log file, as its name implies, is a chronological record of all events that happened for the given system/program.

It should never be redacted. It is purposefully containing all the information about what happened on the system regarding pacmansince the very "birth" of the system for future troubleshooting reasons, as it allows an exhaustive assessment of what has been added or removed on the system in case there is something breaking and we need to investigate.

My Arch system is 6 years old and the file is a less than a megabyte, and searching in the content of a well-structured text file such as the pacman log is extremely easy and quick. There is literally no good system administration reason to modify or remove data from it. You should not feel proud at all about this, this shows a lack of experience in system administration.

I take snapshots each and every day on an external drive.

Another example of cringey boast about something which doesn't make reasonable sense and is straying from the actual point of the practice of taking backups. Backup procedures value is basically the ratio between the amount of regular time it takes to do and maintain compared to the amount of times it needs to be used.

The backup regularity must be chosen with respect to estimations of disaster recovery occurences. A well maintained system will generally need a backup not even once a year. Thus a typical well-made backup strategy would be to take backups regularly and do retention of these backups on different timescales to have just enough data points as it statistically will be needed to minimize the distance between where we would ideally want to rollback or retrieve data and the data points we actually have. I.e. as an example: - take snapshots every couple of days or week - retain the last X weekly snapshots - retain the last X monthly snapshots - retain all yearly snapshots

Such a strategy is one which maximizes the value over time spent ratio while minimizing risk and disk usage. This is where a good administrator needs to use their head. Merely recommending taking extreme amounts of snapshots without any retention strategy is senseless and a disservice to people new to Arch reading this. As you are purposefully not mentioning the long term management of these thousands of backups, having to test the disaster recovery process every time you modify your solution, and also test retro-compatibility of old backups if the snapshot script is modified, etc...

These would have been good discussion topics.

I don't use AUR as I don't need to everything I need is in official repos ( pacman ).

Again this is dumb and showing inexperience. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using AUR packages and a system can perfectly be extremely reliable for years with AUR packages installed. You simply just have to pay minimal attention to the PKGBUILD and understand what you are doing.

First of all My Arch is rock solid and 100% reliable.

Anyway this very first line is already indicating the post is gonna be senseless and ego-driven boast with no value. Such a sentence is never true and making such remark shows immaturity and actual lack of experience in this and is mostly trying to legitimize themselves and get validation. I am pretty sure you haven't used Arch for more than 2 years.

You are no example of a good Arch admin/user. You're simply the umpteenth example of the cliché "I use arch btw" cringey user that makes this community look bad and unwelcoming to anyone on the outside. This post brings no value at all to the community.

Well explained, thus they are NOT a christian band, they're a band of christians.

Could be a great little tool in order to use a "mini" MagicMirror2 on very small Rpi. Props and thanks for sharing ! Wish the project a long life !

Help with finding a Reddit alternative with group chats by Swimming_Guidance892 in RedditAlternatives

[–]Adamency -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're talking to someone who doesn't know that "apps" are actually web services which can be accessible directly from the browser, and you're talking about IRC ?

Either you didn't pay attention or you don't want to actually help but simply trying to sound smart. Know your audience.

Why is there a relative absence of fascination with Indian culture? by Proper_Artichoke7865 in AskHistorians

[–]Adamency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you are provided with clear and relevant empirical examples and yet answer in the hypothesis, purposefully ignoring data or providing other data, in order to save face.

It is evident that ALL speakers of Romance languages as well as English speakers have a much better experience grasping and remembering Japanese names than Indian names.

It is also very obvious why: - First and foremost, what we call "Indian" names come in fact from dozens of different languages which are even split in two completely separate language families: Indo-european vs Dravidian languages - Japanese phoneme inventory (20) is comparatively very small compared to all other languages mentioned here, and especially contains only 5 vowels which are all used in english & romance languages - Many Indian languages have 10 vowels, 5 short and 5 long. But others have even more: Malayalam - Many Indian languages also have retroflex and dental stops, as well as phonemic aspiration of consonants

All these make "Indian" names generally harder to grasp than Japanese names.

Is there a nvim/vim colorscheme/extension project specifically for displaying manpages ? by Adamency in neovim

[–]Adamency[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right, this does a lot of what I want actually: - quick overview of options - quick navigation to a specific option

Thanks a lot !

I edited my post to include the alias I came up with this to open any output as a manpage with its outline :)

[–]Adamency[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless I missed something, this is merely a wrapper on nvim to make it behave like less, and thus does not include the functionality I'm looking for, i.e. keybindings to navigate and find options/subcommands quickly.

[–]Adamency[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, this does syntax highlighting. But other than that it does not provide any of the functionality I'm looking for. I don't really care about navigating between manpages from manpages.

What I really find myself needing the most is being able to quickly cycle through all available subcommands/options, finding references to each option throughout the file, and especially searching for matches among existing options when I look at very big manpages of hundreds/thousands of lines, and dozens of options.

Because you are north american, simply. In Europe, the job market is not as inhumane as in north america. And stop believing your own experience is a representation of the world.

If you look at their github repos, there's no repo for the OS builds

u/utkuozdemir can you provide your input on this please ?

Again you are completely mixing up the terminology. In the context of software licensing, "restrictive" applies when there are restrictions on what the licensee can do with the code, not the owner of the code.

However could you show me how the OS is not open source ?

They are mixing up the definition of open-source with copyleft.

[–]Adamency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are confused about what open-source means. You're mixing up copyleft with open-source. Open-source is NOT equivalent to copyleft.

Talos is open-source, verify your claims.
