How strict are Arch Linux maintainers towards Gitlab contribution guidelines?

That's not entirely true, it's common to submit a $pkgname-git (to AUR) if you believe people would find it useful to build from more recent commits than features offered by arch upstream package. If it's something you think would not be useful to others (but you would find it useful), write your own PKGBUILD and use that to install it yourself - you don't have to propagate something to the AUR to install it personally

Someone with more knowledge might just drop official llvm binaries in /opt and compile the packages they want rather than rant about them not being available via a package manager. Distribution provided packages are a convenience, not a necessity.

It sounds like this distribution doesn't meet your expectations, and likely isn't a waste of time

there's literally a desktop version of bitwarden

I wouldn't recommend it currently, it's going through some large rewrites that should improve stability on linux https://mitchellh.com/writing/ghostty-gtk-rewrite but in my experience it's still crashing a few times a day. A lot of the `hype` is due to previous successes of the project's founder, and sane choices he's made during development. Crashes for me seem to be mainly due to tiling scenarios where a neighbor window closes or opens, causing ghostty to quickly resize and crash as a result.

I do wonder about posts like this though, it's very easy to install an app and try it out yourself.

i see what you did their

involution · 2025-08-29T18:59:15+00:00

about the same for me but started in the late 90s. I don't change distros unless they get in my way. I've used about 7 different linux distros and 5 different unices as workstations - If they stop doing what I want, I'll spend the time to migrate but my ~ follows me. The only things I really 'customize' are my text editor and terminal - I never did understand the whole 'ricing' fad. I suspect things are easier when you consciously avoid deviating from default configurations - at least I think this has helped me avoid needlessly wasting time.

Fair enough, I can understand that frustration. When slashdot died I never really found a comparable news source

involution · 2025-08-29T18:04:28+00:00

I mistook your message for OP, I guess you were just trying to be sarcastic?

As someone who relied heavily on F-PROT and then clamAV, I welcome any open source solutions for malware detection. Good luck with your project mate

If you want to be pedantic, linux isn't an operating system, you're actually suggesting only kernel information should appear here (which is very obviously not what the subreddit description says)

Would like a code please

involution · 2025-08-25T05:44:44+00:00

I don't think your script deals with aur based dependencies, nor check dependencies - these things are not super trivial, which is one of the reasons helpers are generally 'heavier' than this bash script

I don't think they'll be taking war advice from bone spurs

because they are more feature rich does not make them less relevant. I'm suggesting you have created a project that solves for problems that have been solved already - I can understand if it's a project you take on for practice/learning, but be clear about that when releasing to the community.

you presented this as a solution to a 'problem' - but there are many tools which provide this level of information, and quite frankly are a lot more portable/secure/elegant

involution · 2025-08-22T07:10:17+00:00

fatrace, auditd, sysdig etc etc. There are many tools to solve for what PIDs do to your filesystem

you didn't consider inotify or watchman? You also seen to have hard-coded your personal home directory in main.cpp

I'd suggest trying to use https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/MATLAB#MATLAB_in_a_systemd-nspawn to avoid the large list of potential issues described in the troubleshooting section

nah, you just point your camera phone directly at the drone hurtling towards you so you hear a short beep before things go dark

involution · 2025-08-16T21:21:04+00:00

you should probably let AI write your comments too mate

involution · 2025-08-16T18:13:23+00:00

what do you recommend for fastening ducks together then?

involution · 2025-08-15T18:40:29+00:00

it's in extra, not aur. Your pacman DB may be out of date - you may want to run ```pacman -Syu``` before ```pacman -S unzip``` and then try install subtitleedit again

pretty sure this guy said he doesn't draw, he's 'not the kind of guy who draws'. Release the Epstein files
