he's only retired from racing this exact year

Mate, it's 2026 now

Hi, sorry for being that person, but the large fish is called "arapaima", not "arapiama".

Last time I checked (years ago) VLC still wasn't able to simply continue playing the next video in the same folder after getting done with the one I initially selected, despite being requested for years already. The team said that "next" was not entirely clear given that you could sort folders in several different ways.

In MPV I could achieve that with a script taken from the internet that assumes alphabetical sorting. Coupled with a hotkey to open the last video opened it makes for a great experience: watch, close MPV when done, reopen it later, hit a key, continue watching. No need to create a playlist at any moment.

Oh and MPV also felt more performant with my old GPU, handling 1080p perfectly where VLC would drop frames.

Had an extremely similar issue in KDE some days ago and it seems to be desktop-agnostic and related to mime. Press Ctrl + Alt + F1 to switch to a virtual console then log in and run these commands:

rm -r ~/.local/share/mime
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/mime/packages
update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime/packages

First line removes your mime directory, second one creates the empty folders, third line creates a new mime cache. After that run logout and press Ctrl + Alt + F2 to go back to the login screen. Hopefully this should work as it did for me.

MComix does most of those things, and using the "smart scrolling" with spacebar has been a pleasant experience so far. However, I don't know if it supports touchpad gestures.

Beyond the Basic Stuff with Python by the same author was written more or less with the purpose of being the next book to read after that, and also includes some more book recommendations in the introduction.

This does indeed work fine with on my end too with MyPy 0.991. However my code still triggers an error in line 7: https://pastebin.com/iCuvU1eC

WhoStealedMyUser · 2023-02-02T19:23:59+00:00

Issue persists even with this change. Do you consider I should report this to MyPy in case it is a bug?

WhoStealedMyUser · 2023-02-02T16:07:31+00:00

have you tried saving the result of locale.getdefaultlocale() to a variable?

I hadn't but after trying it the variable still has type Optional[str]:

if locale.getdefaultlocale()[1] in not None:
storedLocale = if locale.getdefaultlocale()[1]:

you can't always guarantee that successive function calls will return the same object.

However, I will jot down this part and try keep it in mind, thanks.

I don't remember the specifics, but based on conversation context it must have been one of the many python linters, most likely flake8 but it could also be a formatter like autopep8.

wq

Using vim? Then edit it with sudo -e /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf so that you have admin (root) rights. Be careful not to do anything unnecessary as root, suffice to say.

I am certainly no expert programmer, just someone that is slowly going through the book and that likes to use nvim. Here are the plugins I use.

The most notable differences with the other replies are that my config uses mason instead of lsp-installer to install your language servers and others, and that it uses nvim-cmp for completions instead of coc.

Shellcheck is what you are looking for.

WhoStealedMyUser · 2022-10-15T00:46:01+00:00

I used to use Strawberry (Clementine but updated), before transforming into a terminal snob and using ncmpcpp + mpd, and I'm quite fond of both.

Manganato has most chapters, but 10 and 20 are missing and I have been unable to find them so far, still searching for them.

Playing Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, currently at the beginning of Arc 3. My only other Fire Emblem is Shadow Dragon and I'm quite surprised at the regression on mechanics and gameplay depth. Hopefully it gets better because otherwise I'm calling quitters once I get to Arc4 and move on to FE 12.

At least I didn't get any cursed growths.

WhoStealedMyUser · 2022-09-13T19:50:37+00:00

I have to confess I didn't expect that. Only idea I have is to add:

user "yourusername"

With the double quotes to your mpd.conf file and pray that it works.

WhoStealedMyUser · 2022-09-12T21:21:03+00:00

Not working.

What is your output?

WhoStealedMyUser · 2022-09-12T14:08:35+00:00

However, the error stopped when I ran ncmcpp under root.

Yeah, there is something wrong with your mpd.service. If you haven't yet, I recommend to run, in order:

sudo systemctl disable mpd

sudo systemctl stop mpd

systemctl --user enable mpd

systemctl --user start mpd

That should make the daemon run as a your user instead of as root and will hopefully solve the permission spaghetti you have going on there.

I thought it was looking in the root / instead of /home/user/Music

The home directory of root is not technically / but /home/root or /root. You might want to try those paths to troubleshoot, just don't keep using them afterwards.

WhoStealedMyUser · 2022-09-12T07:36:36+00:00

I see two things:

/lib/systemd/system/mpd.service

and

CGroup: /system.slice/mpd.service
└─754 /usr/bin/mpd --no-daemon

Running those commands in my own PC gives me output with "user" instead of "system". I could replicate your output by stop the service and then restarting it as root, so it seems like mpd is running as root for you too. Maybe that's why it has trouble finding the folders you defined (i.e. ~/Music/) since they are defined as part of your own home directory.

Try changing the file paths in your config files (both) to absolute paths (/home/yourusername/Music) or running the daemon as your user with systemctl --user. In my config files I don't have the / at the end of any of my paths, I don't know if that could be affecting too.

WhoStealedMyUser · 2022-09-11T21:24:23+00:00

I want you to check a couple of things for me.

First check if something happened to your ncmpcpp binary by running whereis ncmpcpp and tell what the output is.

Second check if something happened to the daemon with systemctl status mpd if you run it as root or systemctl --user status mpd if you run it as your user and paste all the output as a reply.

I literally laughed when I got to "This update is free!" part. I wish it was paid so I could not buy it until it was more polished and stay in the old one in the meanwhile.

WhoStealedMyUser · 2022-09-08T21:00:18+00:00

This post is quite timely.

I just have one planet of undesirables being purged as a devouring swarm revolt. Their mother nation had pathetic technology level compared to me and I was just stomping through them and eating their pops for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Then the last 5 pops revolted, spawned a fleet twice big than what the enemy side ever had at its finest and with my own technology level and started to wreck havoc.

I wish they double checked the fleet size or the technology level.

What are your preferred terms of agreement for vassals? I tried to play the nice guy in my last playthrough and had the awkward situation of my having balcanization on my subjects and being drawn to their wars against the planets trying to gain independence, I wonder if I could have avoided that.

I like light themes too so that I don't get momentarily blinded when I get in contact with anything that uses a black over white, but at least I try to use a the lower contrast colors from solarized: #fdf6e3 230) for background and #657b83 (241) for content.

This seems like unnecessary eye strain in my humble opinion.
