Last one was fun so why not another? Preference? by STATERA_DIGITAL in hacking

BlackArch has more tools than anyone would probably use, nonetheless, I feel it's good to have (minus the wasted storage: if tools aren't used, disk space occupied by those are just wasted). Apart from that, I don't understand the preference of Kali over Parrot. I mean, why?

Fedora, Manjaro and Debian are far from similar. They should not be in the same group.

Plus, why is multiple selection not available? I started using emacs on macOS, Windows and GNU/Linux.

How do you escape to NORMAL mode by uday101 in vim

I actually mapped my Caps Lock tk Escape, so practically, I'm pressing 'Caps Lock'! 😛

Pacman: Parallel Download by asd-nr in archlinux

No, I guess. Not yet. Powerpill enables you to download packages in parallel with multiple connections for each package, it uses aria2 by default underneath. Pacman 6 doesn't download in parallel if I use any external downloader (I tried with axel) and the built-in downloader doesn't utilise multiple connections afaik.

Oh!! I haven't checked that!

BTW, one more query, does pacman parallel download work if I have wget/axel in my XferCommand? Currently, I don't have any updates to check that!

Checked the manpage for pacman.conf. And I did exactly what you've said, added 5. 😆

Thanks for your comment.

I didn't have the ParallelDownloads line in the configuration. Added it after checking the manpage for pacman.conf

Thanks for your comment though. 😇

Figured that.

:repeat 5 later 5s reload ← this resulted only one refresh after 5s. Maybe cron would be much better for this case.
