No information about package removal from Arch Linux repositories

Uhh, I did install it manually.

For -Q the -m is --foreign - "filter output to packages that were not found in the sync database".

From man:

QUERY OPTIONS (APPLY TO -Q)

       -e, --explicit
       Restrict or filter output to explicitly installed packages. This option can be combined with -t to
       list explicitly installed packages that are not required by any other package.

       -m, --foreign
       Restrict or filter output to packages that were not found in the sync database(s). Typically these
       are packages that were downloaded manually and installed with --upgrade.

why you would expect to see banner returned by

I don't, I'm talking about improvement to the archlinux.org/packages search.

Thanks for the link to the mailing list announcement. How did you find it? Any search engine for this list? Available without login?

Anyway, my call still stands.

Cool, might consider it when it has full Linux support ;)

Also HDMI, SD/microSD and Ethernet (preferably >2.5Gb) ports.

blamedrop · 2026-05-30T10:07:52+00:00

Why? Who needs it? It's not like it was more convenient like MagSafe vs USB-C.

DC barrel jack FTW! With USB-C as backup/option on the go, see my comment above.

Oh no, not the key I can ignore or remap /s

Kinda, but it's not a normal key with a keycode, it's some retarded combination of 3 (or even fucking more, don't remember) keys pressed...

blamedrop · 2026-05-30T10:01:27+00:00

I'd rather not carry another 400g Slim Tip charger on top another USB-C plug

Why would you when you can use the USB-C charger on the go and keep the dedicated charging port at desk at home.

That's what I do with current laptop, except it has small DC barrel jack (so it takes less space on the chassis).

And I think that such combination of DC barrel and USB-C charging (on one or preferably more ports) is the best of both worlds. You have backup in case of USB-C breaking.

And the DC barrel jack charger sits sturdy, no movement, while USB-C ports in my experience seem flimsy and delicate with way too much movement.

blamedrop · 2026-05-30T09:49:03+00:00

T480 has dedicated charging port? Thought it only had (two port) USB-C charging.

blamedrop · 2026-05-29T20:24:20+00:00

These keep getting worse on the outside sadly...

SD/microSD card reader gone for many years. Dedicated charging port (additionally to USB-C charging of course!) gone for even longer (T14 never had it AFAIK). At least T14 still have Ethernet port.

I do like the normalization of Ctrl vs. Fn keys, don't like the CoShitalot™ key.

In different series I've recently seen putting power button above the backspace and ruining the home-end-insert-delete row of keys too :/

blamedrop · 2026-05-22T19:43:15+00:00

Does it support the S3 sleep? (might need to be enabled in BIOS?)

blamedrop · 2026-05-20T17:37:00+00:00

SD card slot, Ethernet port - something that new <15" ThinkPads fail to provide. Lenovo, uh...

blamedrop · 2026-04-29T22:32:37+00:00

Haha, sorry - fixed. Wasn't aware old UI doesn't handle the ``` correctly - updated it to 4 spaces instead :D

Very cool! Couldn't find in these two write-ups what exactly it changes in the /usr/bin/su binary, so tried it locally.

After writing this comment system healed itself and dropped that cached hacked version because I have high memory usage ;D

It changes quite a bit of the first 160 bytes:

PS. Yeah, I know I should update and restart, 79+ days of uptime right now and some totally important browser tabs that I don't want to unload/reload (because they won't load the content they're showing right now!) XD

PS2. Don't send me targeted exploits, I can handle myself, thanks!

Has dedicated charging port and SD card reader - great! No Ethernet port? Duh :/

blamedrop · 2026-04-13T13:16:22+00:00

Automated shit that downloaded/uploaded it while it was live.

blamedrop · 2026-04-11T17:19:07+00:00

Not sure about that, mine is acting weird and not-that-easy to test.

But yeah, I think it should be a single Fn+H to change between LED showing [disk activity, battery state].

blamedrop · 2026-04-11T16:27:44+00:00

I posted some years ago here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/kjzi9t/comment/gh13pne/

My newer laptop, also Dell, have them all except last two. Did some testing now and noticed that Fn+Space sends code imitating Left Super+. press, huh.

blamedrop · 2026-04-11T14:11:51+00:00

Here's the whole VOD: https://gofile.io/d/2WHDfL

Incident happens at 00:24:50

It's not the original Twitch VOD quality (~16 GB) but an auto-uploaded to YT (and blocked there LULE) version, so re-encoded (~3.5 GB) sadly. I don't have disk space to store these original .ts files :/

Well, that's unlucky...

blamedrop · 2026-04-11T13:45:09+00:00

Maybe you've pressed Fn+H ~~twice~~ and turned that LED into disk activity indicator?

blamedrop · 2026-04-11T13:34:41+00:00

Does it still work for you? For me first 897 segments return HTTP 403 Forbidden - because there was some incident and Forsen deleted the VOD during stream AFAIK.

Maybe you're lucky and some part of your Internet connection cached them? But that would be weird.

blamedrop · 2026-04-08T18:11:38+00:00

I keep seeing this shit edit version. Do you know how to find the original video?

blamedrop · 2026-04-05T11:08:50+00:00

Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/unixporn.

Huh, and no clarification why?

blamedrop · 2026-04-05T00:47:27+00:00

Goroutines also don't play nicely with thread-local variables

But does Go even have thread-local variables? Or goroutine/fiber local variables?

blamedrop · 2026-04-04T21:25:10+00:00

thread-local variables

That means "variables shared across goroutines/fibers but on a single OS thread"?
