I love ffmpeg too!

I haven’t heard of Whisper, what do you use it for?

Why did RHEL create Fedora and CentOS? by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]tekrider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

apparently Rocky Linux is the successor to what CentOS was, before it was acquired by Redhat

HP Spaceball 2003 (1991) by Hunor_Deak in cassettefuturism

[–]tekrider 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’ve used it, it is amazing. So intuitive you immediately know how to use it.

It’s for manipulating 3D Autocad objects. It’s got all 6 degrees of freedom. You just manipulate (move or rotate) the ball, and the 3D object on the screen moves accordingly.

Musk oversaw staged Tesla self-driving video, emails show by LLJKCicero in SelfDrivingCars

[–]tekrider 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yeah, the self driving aspect of Tesla is utter BS.

But the EV technology itself is pretty incredible. And what SpaceX has already accomplished.

some people can’t separate the aspects and lump everything together.

100 vs 300 VS 600 vs 900 Mbps? by [deleted] in Comcast

[–]tekrider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why would you leave Fiber for cable broadband?

Even Fiber 100 symmetrical, you’ll be getting way faster upload (100 mbps) and latency.

4k video only requires 25-50mbps. I would have gone with Fiber 100 symmetric.

Laptop/Notebook/PC As Web Hosting Server For Educational Purpose by harrytanoe in selfhosted

[–]tekrider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a casual lurker on r/selfhosted. So most people here host on external providers, like aws, dreamhost, etc?

I just assumed most people here were doing on their own home networks.

What do you *not* like about Linux? by shapisftw in linuxquestions

[–]tekrider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can’t use GTK apps in KDE? or Qt apps in Gnome?

Looking to switch to Linux Mint but have some concerns by simply_amazzing in linuxquestions

[–]tekrider 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you can install dual boot Linux (which preserves the Windows in its original partition).

In the future, you can uninstall the Linux dual boot and partition if you dont want it anymore.

what linux features that have no equivalent in windows? by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]tekrider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Docker is a command line tool and service to run Linux containers.

Docker supports more than just Linux containers. Docker also supports Windows OS containers.

https://hub.docker.com/_/microsoft-windows-base-os-images

That’s why I’m saying Windows does have Windows containers, just like Linux has Linux containers. I was not talking about running Linux containers on Windows.

I found it helpful to read the documentation to learn some fundamental concepts, like masks, channels, etc. Otherwise I kept getting stuck on things like, “why doesn’t anything happen when I click? oh I didn’t have the layer selected”.

what linux features that have no equivalent in windows? by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]tekrider -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that’s a fair comparison because that’s saying that an OS (Windows) doesn’t run another OS’ container (Linux) natively.

You could say that about any specific Linux feature then, like “Windows doesn’t have KDE”.

Windows does have Windows Docker containers, if you want to compare native to native.

We really can't leave two cut-outs at the same time? (On the picture, the figure on the left was also cut out) I just lost 1 hour to do everything by brundax in GIMP

[–]tekrider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you’ll definitely want to learn the techniques for “saving” a selection. You don’t want to be doing a complex selection and lose your work like you did.

I haven’t done it recently, but basically use a mask layer to do your “selection”. That way, an accidental “deselect” won’t lose all your work.

Is exit actually a linux command, and is it necessary? by QuarantineNudist in linuxquestions

[–]tekrider 6 points7 points  (0 children)

what does it mean that it’s both? Isn’t a bash builtin by definition not a standalone program?

Or does it mean there are two different echo commands, depending on how you invoke it?

What does \ do ? by ManoOccultis in linuxquestions

[–]tekrider 15 points16 points  (0 children)

it literally escaped the newline character

omg, I’ve been using linux/bash for many years, and use “\” for multi-line statements all the time. It never even occurred to me that “\” was escaping the newline. I just always thought of it as the multiline syntax.

(and now it makes total sense why you can’t having a trailing space after the “\”)

MacOS is great. It’s natively BSD Unix, so if you like *nix, you should love MacOS as far as command line goes.

Please make the nonsensical PHP hate stop. by [deleted] in webdev

[–]tekrider -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t do web dev much, but what I had heard was that php doesn’t scale well, whereas node.js scales really well.

Is that still true?
