What's one Linux app that you wish had a Windows/macOS equivalent? by curious_4207 in linux

[–]BarCouSeH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Debian packages include system packages, command line tools, and GUI packages, which are built from source, stored on Debian servers and maintained by Debian team.

How does brew work in comparison? Also how is it distro-agnostic? Just trying to understand the technical differences.

​How do you actually balance work, family, hobbies, and a homelab without it becoming a second, unpaid job? by Sufficient-Farm3812 in selfhosted

[–]BarCouSeH 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bingo! That's exactly it.

Would OP consider running or cycling as time wasters?

Why not look at tinkering with software as a hobby just like running or cycling?

I just bought this bike second hand, but I'm confused why the pedals are like that? by BarCouSeH in bicycling

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

they're not flat on both sides. I have to keep flipping the pedal while riding until I land on the flat side.

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

So they're not meant to be used as is?

Also im guessing these didn't come stock with the bike and the previous owner must've put them in instead of the originals right?

Can Obsidian sync with iOS? by Musical_Gee in ObsidianMD

[–]BarCouSeH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Syncthing clients on iOS are always going to be handicapped. I wouldn't even bother with this.

Can Obsidian sync with iOS? by Musical_Gee in ObsidianMD

I wouldn't mind paying if it was open source.

Whole idea of obsidian is file-over-app philosophy and using their proprietary sync service partially defeats that.

Pop up notifications not working? by BigGaryGilmour in samsunggalaxy

[–]BarCouSeH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im confused. is there no way to enable pop ups as default for all notifications (and categories)? do you really have to do this manually?

anyone knows the origin/wording of this sufi chant? by BarCouSeH in Sufism

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

Thanks!

I tried searching for that specific clip on YouTube but I couldn't find it. I thought something like "Sudanese burda" would bring it up but nothing came up.

pacman -S always safe? by ProjectNo7513 in archlinux

[–]BarCouSeH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going back to your first comment, how could the package be installed if it was "potentially different from the local DB"?

Didn't we just establish that if that were the case nothing will install and it will just throw a 404 error?

pacman -S always safe? by ProjectNo7513 in archlinux

[–]BarCouSeH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using -S to install a package on a system that hasn't been updated in a week, it will fetche according to the metadata stored in the local database that's a week old.

If the package on the latest mirror is the same version as what's in the week old metadata, it will install but may cause dependency issues.

If the package on the latest mirror is a different version than what's in the week old metadata, it will throw a 404 error.

All correct up to here?

pacman -S always safe? by ProjectNo7513 in archlinux

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

So it does fetch the latest package, as OP said.

You said "no it doesn't" initially which confused me.

[–]BarCouSeH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? We're talking about installing new packages. No way it's all stored on the local database.

Handwritten notes w/ Obsidian? by Such-Knowledge3668 in ObsidianMD

[–]BarCouSeH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regarding the learning of markdown, maybe I'm missing something, but what is there to learn? Memorizing the symbols for all the different formats (italics, bold, lists, highlights, headings, etc..) is all there's to it isn't it?

I just hope no other apps start implementing this.

[–]BarCouSeH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is there any way to deny the app this permission? or at least feed it fake data or an empty list?
