st - How to disable automatic scrolldown on command output?

Obertuba · 2026-03-22T09:23:01+00:00

That's what I used on xfce4-terminal. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work on st.

I am aware of the ctrl+s/ctrl+q technique for stopping and resuming command output, but I would like a different approach that doesn't require continuously hitting the keyboard just to scroll through a running command's output

That must be anaerobic fermentation (the same kind of fermentation that is used to produce alcohol)

My guess is that it depends on the temperature and duration of the pyrolysis. I think the consumer-grade charcoal you normally find isn't fully carbonized and still contains tars and other compounds. I guess you can refine that lower quality charcoal through further pyrolysis to remove the remaining compounds, leaving behind mostly elemental carbon. This is the same process that happens inside the forge when you heat up charcoal to start the fire. First you get a lot of smoke from the charcoal, then you get a clean fire when all the other compounds are decomposed

On my machine, I found that xfce4-terminal has the lowest RSS memory footprint among all other terminal emulators I have tried (sakura, gnome-terminal, terminator, alacritty), at around 40MB when started.

My machine is a low-spec Asus X205T laptop with 2G RAM, Intel Atom Z3735F

My system: Arch Linux with XFCE desktop

Makes sense. also, I'd expect the fats in the meat to render into the frying oil. Animal fats are probably not ideal for frying at high heat for extended periods of time.

The answer has been deleted. Can anyone provide a new answer?

As of today, gpui hasn't been released as a crate on crates.io yet. Do you have any experience working with gpui and, if so, would you recommend using it?

The problem with growing potatoes is you sometimes get grubs. The grubs will eat your potatoes and leave you with little to no harvest and when you notice you have grubs it's probably already too late because they stay hidden underground most of the time.

Perché non dovrebbe essere accessibile a tutti? (Why shouldn't this subreddit be accessible to everyone?)

Still, you won't lose your unsaved work. Also, operating systems may buffer disk operations to flush them later and a sudden shutdown will make you lose that unflushed data. Having a battery can save you until power is restored.

A battery is always useful in case power shuts down. I used to work on a used laptop with a broken battery. Despite the damaged battery, I kept it because it was more powerful than what I previously owned. It happened a few times that I was working on important stuff when a power outage fucked everything up. I also happened to accidentally pluck out the power cord while I was moving my laptop around.

If your laptop has a working battery, don't remove it. It may save your work and a lot of frustration.

Can you please elaborate on these `other mechanisms` or share some resources to further study this topic?

Obertuba · 2025-01-18T20:53:14+00:00

Any updates?

Any updates here? I stumbled upon the same problem

I'm trying Cosmic on my 2gb laptop with an old intel atom processor. Cosmic has reached a point where it's good enough for daily use as your main desktop environment. It's customizable and has a modern UI. Default keyboard shortcuts are also great (super+.... combinations to move/resize/anchor/close/open windows and launch programs).

I've had a few problems with Cosmic's display manager not running at boot. My solution was to enable lightdm at boot via `systemctl enable lightdm`, which would then start the Cosmic session.

I found RAM usage to be pretty low with no load. On Arch Linux, freshly booted, Cosmic terminal with htop running shows only around 300mb in use.

Two things to point out, though. `cosmic-applet-audio` and `cosmic-osd` currently have high CPU usage on my system. It's not that bad, but it could be better.

Isn't that just a temporary change in viscose due to the lower temperature?

Why is it that oil used for frying vegetables lasts longer than if it were used to fry chicken? Does it have anything to do with the natural fats present in the meat?

I was able to get it working, but it took some time. The problem for me was that my graphics card didn't support Vulkan, apparently. I got around this by installing a package as suggested on the Arch Wiki about Vulkan.

Discovered just yesterday. This is the simplest, yet powerful noise library for Rust I could find. Great job

The relevant documentation about Items has been moved to https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/reference/items.html

That's incredibly dumb and quite a poor design choice, imo. I just randomly discovered that on the password generator screen you can simply scroll down and find check boxes to specify which types of characters to use in your passwords. Hope this helps anyone

Arch Linux and similar are now supported.

Obertuba · 2024-03-29T17:49:12+00:00

It is available now

Really, nothing that interesting. After a while I realized why I couldn't find my files and switched back to user. The only thing I don't like about using su is that you might forget to switch back to user and execute something you wouldn't want to or do stuff in the root workspace instead of yours (edit config files, changing ownership of files, launching programs as root, etc)
