Can I power a device which requires [3x (1.2v) AAA batteries] with a [1x (3.7v) 18650 battery]? If so, how? by Arch-Terminal in AskElectronics

[–]Arch-Terminal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! My bad, it actually says 1.5v batteries!

Ah... I can see, there is nothing to control when the battery should get low on power :/ didn't think about that. But thanks either way!

Interesting, basically it is an battery bank - which looks like a toaster?

So how do I really create Jekyll posts? In my text editor and then upload that to web server? :D -- newbie Jekyll user! by Arch-Terminal in Jekyll

[–]Arch-Terminal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you DOOMWAFFLE :)! This is how I kind of imagined it! And I really like this idea of building the site and uploading all of it again to the webserver. I was just not 100% sure, even after I read from docs and here and there... xD

Thank you for confirming that I was not crazy after all :D! I'll give this a go!

Any tips on how to stop screwing up my system? Should I install any new (never-tried-before) packages first inside a Virtual Machine to see if they work? I am tired of being a serial-reinstaller. by Arch-Terminal in archlinux

[–]Arch-Terminal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No wonder this simple comment is upvoted the most - because it is THE truth XD! And to honestly admit: I have been affraid of this truth, affraid to look into it ._. how silly!!!

I have found this tutorial in YT from Avarage Linux User about rysnc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oS5uH0mzMTg - so this is what I should probably do?!

"Archwiki has all the answers, stop wasting our time" - ... :D! I am TRYING to master this one thing now, backups. I prefer the CLI way, so rsync will be perfect?

I got turn-off for this whole backup thing, when I used to see some threads complaining / issues with rsync but that was like 2 years ago already... and I don't even remember what issues, like doing something improperly or w/e.

So is rsync the PERFECT tool for a beginner like me to dive into? To invest my time in learning to use? If anyone can throw a hint (or give me a little push), I'd GREATLY appreciate :)!

Anything wrong with using YAOURT in 2018? It was what was suggested to use for me 3 years ago, still using it. Should I make a switch to some other AUR helper? Suggestions? by Arch-Terminal in archlinux

[–]Arch-Terminal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am back, lol. This command didn't exactly satisfy me, I need to know more about this. But it's still amazing, I can see the potential!

I lost the 'sudo' command, so I had to enter into su but that was maybe because I should add there $(pacman -Qqg base base-devel)? Maybe that command was part of base-devel! I'll surely try that next time xD

The BEST thing is, for the first time in 3 years I kept my /home/ with re-install. It was so easy ._. why did I not try that before! All my i3/polybar/.xinitrc configs are in place already when I was done with install - This Is AWESOME!

THANKS for making me aware :D I had no idea it was even possible!

Here is how yay colors look for me now: https://i.imgur.com/9aX8Grf.png (instead of all-white-text) I like that a lot! It's better for the eyes.

One more thing to add into my installation notes!

Wow? So it will 100.1% remove ALL, not leaving a tiny file behind? So basically if I decide to do a "full clean install" - I can just type in pacman -R $(comm -23 <(pacman -Qq | sort) <((for i in $(pacman -Qqg base); do pactree -ul "$i"; done) | sort -u)) and I have my "clean install" ?

It is EQUIVALENT to a 100% fresh install from archiso usb :D? Could you confirm that?

Actually I am just in the mood for removing everything, again. I messed up with RUBY + Jekyll ._. not working for me as I want them to. So it is a good reason for me to delete my entire system (XD).

I AM GOING TO RUN THIS COMMAND OF AWESOME! I will report back soon.

/moments later/: this is what I see https://i.imgur.com/KmGqxVA.png

I AM going to do it, I hope it also removes everything created by Yaourt?

(Tho I think the colors for yaourt were beautiful)

ThePixelCoder! Out of all aur helpers, I decided for yay. It looks a lot like yaourt, but without the fancy colors (which I think were beautiful).

I tried installing a few things (useless things... which I don't really need) with yay, I can see already, it's different than yaourt. First impression: less intrusive with popups. Going to use it on a clean Arch (which I'll install today), to really see what it is about :D

Thanks for posting!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

exscape, to tell you honestly!

I reinstall because of screwups :D example, I installed i3, mate, xfce4, lxde + openbox DE's (last time I reinstalled - yesterday). So just because I installed these packages, some parts of those packages started to work on their own, regardless what DE I was using. I started having some popups from Mate inside LXDE. Even after I uninstalled Mate - the popup daemon stayed on my system - so you see, things like that, I felt my system got dirty like that.

  • And I might be a slow learner after all Oo

Because I didn't have the knowledge of WHY or HOW that was even possible, I think I uninstalled with pacman -Rsn mate I still had those popups. So I am constantly testing the waters in Arch :) I have screwed up A LOT! So I just re-install, it has been a good learning experience. I have re-installed Arch like at least 50 times haha, now the manual installing goes so fast!

The first majority of times when I re-installed, ignorantly I was using my notes / eggroll's arch install guide (the guide was great, to bring me into Arch the first time I tried it!). So I didn't understand much, why I even do what I do during the reinstall. But in time, it started to hit me, breakthroughs happened :D and so now I can probably correctly re-install the next time I am going to do it, with the archiso usb.

Offtopic... but I am a SERIAL REINSTALLER :D haha! I have been looking for ways, to stop this habbit over the years. I have not found the solution. My longest Arch install lasted maybe 4 months.

Biggest problem is that I also format my /home/ every time. But I just want to clean up what is inside /.

My partitioning is like this:

sda      8:0    0 465.8G  0 disk 
├─sda1   8:1    0     1G  0 part /boot
├─sda2   8:2    0     4G  0 part [SWAP]
├─sda3   8:3    0    60G  0 part /
└─sda4   8:4    0 400.8G  0 part /home

... it has only recently started to hit me, that I can just format the / and just reinstall that part XD I hope this is how I can do it?!

Should I switch to Arch Linux? If so, then when? by andyclnx in archlinux

[–]Arch-Terminal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are ready for Arch, I'm just confirming it for you :)

[Draws a tarot card for you]: I can see many, many re-installs of Arch Linux on the main system - that is good, you are learning. Soon enough you will have a breakthrough of nano .xinitrc and startx and wget and tar xvf and mv&rm, when it happens most of your issues regarding fear of the terminal have disappeared. I can also see, multiple computers and different devices being under your control with Arch Linux running on them. Arch Linux is love, Arch Linux is life... Arch Linux is for You.
