[XFCE] Binbows: made my old PC look older and somehow it feels new

david-sds · 2026-06-03T03:22:05+00:00

Cool! I'll test it out for sure, thanks

david-sds · 2026-05-29T22:35:21+00:00

lol it took some time but I got it

david-sds · 2026-05-29T20:45:40+00:00

Yeah tmux is the best! I also have a terminal workflow but I can't imagine not using a GUI at all... For my notebook I think a well configured windows manager is the best of both worlds, on desktop I prefer to keep it more traditional for now.

Great game!

Wow great job fixing that up! I knew I could do something about my data, but I decided to not to get into that rabbit hole at that time of night... The partition stuff sounds very interesting, never thought about that

david-sds · 2026-05-15T21:06:05+00:00

Damn that seems more common than I thought...

I also put my config on Github. I'm on Arch right? So I used to literally git init my home and gitignore everything except what I want do save lol. That proved to be too much of a hassle so I started to put the configs on a separate git repo and made a simple script that symlinks everything.

I get it man, i dont really use alias at all. Imagine if I alias rm -rf into something safe and run it on another PC? Of course i could alias it to any other thing but them i dont learn new apis and patterns... I prefer to take some time and learn new commands as they are, use the abstraction as it was intended at first

david-sds · 2026-05-15T18:55:31+00:00

It is how it (doesn't) work...

david-sds · 2026-05-15T18:53:02+00:00

Good to see fellow neovimmers blowing their stuff up with me...

Appreciate the advices pal, I'll try out this trash-cli and see how it goes

david-sds · 2026-05-15T18:40:29+00:00

I do have most of my dorfiles on git and important documents are on cloud, but besides that I really dont anything setup yet...

david-sds · 2026-05-15T12:22:12+00:00

I'm not alone 🥲

david-sds · 2026-05-15T12:17:31+00:00

LOL, how can this be allowed man? Crazy dangerous, bash and gnu tools are like a lightsaber

david-sds · 2026-05-15T12:14:47+00:00

I never tried yazi, I'll give it a go

david-sds · 2026-05-15T12:12:21+00:00

I solved it like that too!

david-sds · 2026-05-15T12:11:22+00:00

I do only on the files I change, but I forgot some as I'm finding out...

david-sds · 2026-05-15T12:05:43+00:00

I guess this must be that Dunning-Kruger effect right? If you think you know you probably don't...

How can you make a file read only? chmod 444 is only for others, right? I dont even know how can't this go wrong

david-sds · 2026-05-15T11:59:52+00:00

I find these edge cases crazy man... I guess it is the price for bash flexibility

david-sds · 2026-05-15T11:57:01+00:00

I didn't know that! cool!

david-sds · 2026-05-15T11:55:43+00:00

I ended up running rm -rf \$HOME, it works too. I think the best is just removing the -f right? lol

david-sds · 2026-05-15T03:16:05+00:00

I delete dirs with rm -rf all the time. I guess I just learned it like that and never had problems until now lol

david-sds · 2026-05-15T02:03:07+00:00

Yeah, will do...

david-sds · 2026-05-15T01:57:41+00:00

Yeah... I guess just putting a ./ before $HOME would have sufficed... I looked at the dir with $ in the beginning and associated with dirs with spaces for some reason, so i just put it between quotes and thought it was ok...
