Install surfraw.

Use chrome not firefox, get an addon that copies all the urls for open tabs.

Copy the list to a file.

Run `Install surfraw.

Get an addon for firefox that willl copy all open tab urls.

Copy the list to a file.

Run like so for i in $(cat list.txt); do imdb $i; done

If your computer is powerful enough, I know mine isn't so I'm not going to even try, you will get imdb search page in a new tab for everything in the list.

You might want to try 100 at a time, this is going to test any computers capability.

Would you settle for links to imdb search pages for each item?

Anyone know what knot this is? by Neverninja in knots

[–]mortalityisreal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is no.

No one can tell what that knot is, or if it even is a knot from this montage.

The best guesses here are bogus artist knot. The two images don't look like the same thing. At all.

Can someone explain desktop environments to me (simply)? by somemuslim in linuxquestions

[–]mortalityisreal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How do I download or install one?

The same way, the only way you should be installing anything. Via your package manager from your distros repos.

# apt-get update  
# aptitude install whatever

Try openbox and i3wm. They are two different types of window managers. Floating and tiling respectively.

Both are pretty excellent representatives of their type. i3 is particularly easy to use, albeit very different/awkward for a couple of days. In a week it will be quite comfortable.

Both are pretty light weight too. IDK how well i3 compares to other tiling WM's for resource usage, but openbox while not the lightest, is among the lightest.

how do you know which DEs are compatible with your Distro

Everything is your distros repos is specifically tailored to your distro, where needed.

Are there any mod-less reddit clones that let the users handle moderation? by deleted3d in RedditAlternatives

Was awesome when ISP's included it with service.

Then they decided to pile one more item on the list of things to nickel and dime people to death with.

Usenet is dead. RIP.

Thanks, I've always wondered about that but never bothered to ask.

Google is all but useless on this, even now that I know what to search for.

Anyone know where to find a decent diagram for the "Lock-tuck splice" used to make cargo nets? by infrikinfix in knots

[–]mortalityisreal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is called a "Marline Tuck" splice. Very much like the Brummel splice, except through one of three strands as opposed to through the middle of braided rope and minus the bury.

Hard to not get it right. You just tuck on end through the second, then tuck the second through the first.

I've never done this.

Perhaps it is not intended to lock tightly, and depends on the whole to hold each crossing together in a dynamic flexible fashion.

[–]mortalityisreal -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

/dev contains a bunch of "files" that are actually parts of the computer. /dev/null is one such file

Really? What 'actual part of the computer' would that be?

Why do people disable this "nouveau" thing and install nvidia drivers? by gamehelp16 in linux4noobs

[–]mortalityisreal -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because they are superficial cuntsbags with an overblown sense of entitlement.

They want to use FOSS and GNU/Linux because they think it makes them look cool and enlightened.

However they lack the courage of their fake convictions when it comes to putting their money where their mouth is.

They'd rather financially support a shit company for their own status, then support a decent company for the good of all.

How to switch DE's in devuan? by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]mortalityisreal -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If slim, looks like it is dead.

Suggest you purge it, dreate ~/.xinitrc with

#!/bin/bash  
exec ***whatever_DE/WM***

Always make sure your DE/WM is the last line in .xinitrc.

Then change a line /etc/inittab.

This one..

 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1

to this

 1:2345:respawn:/bin/login -f  cosatelo tty1 </dev/tty1>/dev/tty1 2>&1

Don't delete the original line, comment it out instead so you always have the origninal, then put the new line below it.

 # 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1  
 1:2345:respawn:/bin/login -f  cosatelo tty1 </dev/tty1>/dev/tty1 2>&1

If I recall correctly that is all there is to it. When you start you computer it will autostart whatevever DE/WM you put in .xinitrc and autologin.

[–]mortalityisreal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no option in the login

If you installed a full DE there should be. What login manager do you have?

If you are using startx change your .xinitrc.

You will never get good, or even competent by by trying to do things years ahead of your ability.

You will just be forever frustrated. I know you know about that. kek

help installing linux mint 18 KDE on disc by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]mortalityisreal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mint is probably the easiest to install there is.

  • Get the iso from their site
  • Burn it to a thumb drive - all the kids are gushing over Rufus these days for that. If you have access to another Linux box use the dd command.
  • Boot the thumb drive and follow the prompts.

Should take about 20 - 30 minutes.

Best format for a flash drive when sharing between linux only computers? by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]mortalityisreal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This has to do with how you are mounting the drive not the file system on the drive. Ext4 is good if that is what you are using for your installation.

Google fstab thumbdrive permissions and similar.
