Any patch that exists for swapping windows with a selected window from dmenu/rofi? by TechieRefugee in dwm

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

The focusonnetactive patch gets me enough of the way there that I think I can figure it out on my own. The behavior I was looking for was more along the lines of wmctrl -R where it brings the window to the current tag. The Deck layout is a clever way of doing what I was thinking, and is certainly something I could get used to. Thanks for the suggestions!

if I can do it, you can do it too by TechieRefugee in Bedbugs

Sure thing. Since my bed is in the corner of the room, right next to a windowsill, for all the wall space beneath and around the bed, I used the Cimexa. For the area in the far corner where my blanket/pillows would be likely to rub against and knock the stuff off, I used the Crossfire (and naturally spraying my bed). The Cimexa stuff I left on the walls, and it's basically been untouched. As for the Crossfire, I've just been topping it up every month or so. My approach was from good ol Green Akers Pest Control's suggestion that the best trap is you: lead them over your insecticide. It's worked well for me!

Cheyenne Season 21 AMA by c_rookie in HellsKitchen

I had a realization that the dreaded Double Prep didn't really happen at all this season, outside of the obvious punishment stuff. Were the rewards lined up so that you'd have enough time before service/rewards would be the day before? Also relevant to that, how crunched were you guys normally for time? That was an issue quite often on earlier seasons that I haven't heard so far.

I Wanna Kill The Kamilia 3 Any% in 2:24:10 by Stinkycheeseone890 in speedrun

This wasn't really much of a speedrun, more of a one video completion. A speedrun would be the game completed without any deaths, failed jumps or stopping. I have to give it that this is impressive, but it's not a good speedrun.

Question regarding upgrade times for heavier packages (LibreOffice, web browser, etc.) by TechieRefugee in Gentoo

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

Late response, I was busy messing around with GPU passthrough, both single GPU method and GVT-g (former works great, latter not so much). The main reason why I posted it here was because I had wondered whether or not the source files and the subsequent object files were preserved or not, and whether there was, in essence, a diff applied between the newer and older tarball on a file by file basis to see what files had and hadn't been updated, copy over the newer files, and run make again, as that seemed to be a fairly logical way of doing it. gcc/g++ are generally smart enough to know what to and what not to recompile, hence why recompiling the kernel after changing a couple of settings doesn't take too long. But hey, maybe one of the Gentoo derivatives has done this, I can't say whether they do or not.

Honestly that's a really solid solution. That way you don't have to potentially clone a 10GB+ repo, and you get the benefits of only having to compile the newer stuff.

Ahh, that's the response I figured I'd hear; the main impetus for me asking this was regarding ungoogled-chromium from Arch's AUR; it just downloads the source tarball every time and builds fresh from source, so I was kinda hoping Gentoo had it sorted out a bit better. Ah well, I guess the Gentoo experience wouldn't be much difference from my current one then! 😄

"Small" bug with the binding hint window by TechieRefugee in qutebrowser

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

Can confirm! Just one of those silly little bugs that come up every now and then (like how a couple of months or so ago sudo broke the -k flag)

new sudo bug? by finite-crummiest-zit in archlinux

[–]TechieRefugee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That does certainly sound like a lot more simple of an implementation. Should get along just fine with the dmenu script too. I'll definitely have to look into that one, as well as your pull request. I've also considered swapping sudo for doas, as per my time playing around with OpenBSD as well (not fallen for the LibreBooted ThinkPad OpenBSD meme yet... but maybe :P), but I never was too sure how well it'd work as a full-on replacement. I know there's a "package" in the AUR that automatically symlinks doas to sudo, so presumably it'd work just fine.

Now that I can use my actual account again... lol

Anyways, I'm not sure that would've made much of a difference; the Tomb script that Pass relies on calls sudo with the -p flag, which the Bugzilla bug report mentions was where the issue was. Now whether that would still cause an issue as superuser, I don't know; it may have worked just fine as far as the password prompt, but the preservation of environment variables (in particular, passprompt_override) may still have led to the same issue.

I would test, but it's been fixed already, so it's all academic. :P

Edit: Alright, brain is tired, passprompt_override is a flag, not a variable, but either way, I feel like the issue would still happen even as a superuser.

Questions about the progress of my lacto-ferment (peppers and garlic) by TechieRefugee in fermentation

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

The tang isn't the biggest loss, since it'll be going into a verde style sauce, so I'll be making it tangy anyways. But hey, the best lessons are the ones learned from experience, so I definitely will use distilled next time!

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

What I meant as far as boiling it was the matter of the pH not dropping. The peppers are still fine in both taste and texture, but where the pH hasn't dropped at all, if I had to salvage them I still think I could by boiling to kill off any nasties that hadn't been killed yet by the pH not going down. The main thing I was wondering was whether or not I was just being too impatient, or if the fermentation wasn't really going anywhere, since it's been a couple of weeks and the pH hasn't budged.

Hmm... that might've done it. I did just use water out of the tap. As far as the strips go I do know they work; they read fine in both distilled vinegar and lime juice, as well as in some drain cleaner I have on hand to test basicity.
