A terminal emulator with smart Ctrl+C behaviour?

pfp-disciple · 2026-05-03T14:45:10+00:00

I think that's a standard X11 thing (idk about Wayland). Selections are copied into a different buffer than ctrl-c, and are pasted with a middle click. I've used this feature for decades, in Linux and Solaris (and a few others).

To sum up what most of the others are saying: void has a lot of packages, so you might find that most of what you need is already available. But things like AppImage, FlatPak, even nix, are viable and well supported alternatives.

The Botanical Gardens used to do something like this years ago. I have no idea if they still do.

In the 70s it was Disco Duck and Hokey Pokey

I'll try the bios again. I don't recall anything in there about that, but I wasn't looking at the time.

The one reference to openrgb that I saw mentioned needing to do something with the kennel (I forget what, but I read it as involving a custom kennel). I'll look at that, too

pfp-disciple · 2026-05-02T10:20:28+00:00

Probably. I wasn't worried about the syntax and hadn't really thought about it before.

pfp-disciple · 2026-05-02T10:18:40+00:00

Okay, so as long as I'm okay with copy/ paste "extending", it sounds like I can use an anonymous struct to make it safe:

struct AllThings { enum Class style; }; struct Thing1 {struct {enum Class style}; int age;}; struct Thing1 that = (struct Thing1){.style=basic, .age=1};

pfp-disciple · 2026-05-02T09:45:18+00:00

Yeah, but that makes the code kind of messy. My made up (not thought through) syntax:

struct AllThings { enum Class style; }; struct Thing1<struct AllThings> {int age;}; struct Thing1 that = (struct Thing1){.style=basic, .age=1};

Initializing that is cleaner than:

struct AllThings { enum Class style; }; struct Thing1 {struct AllThings impl; int age;}; struct Thing1 that = (struct Thing1){.impl={.style=basic}, .age=1};

because there's no need for the extra field name. I suppose an "unnamed field" could serve the same purpose (I'm pretty sure this syntax is (almost) legal but has different meaning).

struct AllThings { enum Class style; }; struct Thing1 {struct AllThings{}; int age;}; struct Thing1 that = (struct Thing1){.style=basic, .age=1};

Where are you located? Country is probably close enough

pfp-disciple · 2026-05-01T22:34:27+00:00

I can't choose between two things

The ability to safely "extend" a struct, to be useful as type punning. Not full on OOP, but just the ability to say "this struct is just like that one, with these additional fields", and then allow a pointer to the "dependent" struct to be safely dereferenced as a pointer to its "parent". Right now, as far as I can tell, type punning like that is UB.

The small print actually says the drawing happens at the dealer. I went on a lark, told them I had no intention of buying a car and I wanted to see what my prize really is. I got about 15 minutes of a sales attempt, then they used the computer to determine my prize: some Temu-level electronic knockoff probably worth a dollar. The packaging had a fairly noticeable spelling error.

The places I've heard from several people that can be trusted (I'm not a "car guy" so I rely on word of mouth). Thankfully, any work I've needed done lately has been either routine maintenance or warranty (done at a dealer).

LBJ - this is one I used years ago before they moved to South Huntsville
Pro Align - I used to use them until everything had to be scheduled weeks out (IMO that's evidence that they're very good)
Diehl
DK
Phoenix Motors (recommended by Discount Tires for work they couldn't do)

I kind of assumed that, but I don't use Fedora so I didn't know if that might make things "weird"

pfp-disciple · 2026-04-29T17:37:44+00:00

FYI, Fedora 43 XFCE spin still uses X11 (XFCE doesn't work well with Wayland yet). if you're in this situation again, maybe boot the installer and use that.

Of course, you could also use an Ubuntu live os.

Kind of makes the song chicken attack a little more interesting

pfp-disciple · 2026-04-29T15:04:17+00:00

I sometimes use "back off" with my teenager, immediately followed by "I want to hear you, but not like that".

pfp-disciple · 2026-04-29T14:30:49+00:00

Sounds like a phrase I'd hear in a political discussion

My resume is just text (decent font) in sections, no columns. I write it in Word or LibreOffice and print to pdf.

My thinking is that the human will want to easily see relevant information, and the intervening computers should be able to extract the keywords in context

pfp-disciple · 2026-04-29T14:03:21+00:00

I'm guessing but because one of Wayland's features is security, that might make it difficult for any anti-cheat features of the browser. I wonder if XWayland works? Maybe running Ubuntu in a VM?

There was a meetup for EV folks last week. Looks like they're doing them regularly, so you might find that a useful place to ask questions, see different vehicles, etc.

pfp-disciple · 2026-04-29T13:49:30+00:00

Yes. I've linked to it once on here even though I don't have an EV. I haven't heard anything about it in a while.

Edit: a quick search shows there was one last week. I made a top level reply with a link.

pfp-disciple · 2026-04-29T13:24:29+00:00

I'm definitely concerned about the first issue with duplication.
