Linux tips

Some #linux #commands are very useful but hard to remember. Don't you think it'll be nice if we could easily #bookmark these commands in the #terminal ?

Well, I found something that does exactly this 😀 - github.com/dzervas/fzf-command…

In short, this is how it works 👇

You write down a command, then press "Ctrl + k" to bookmark the command.

Pressing "Ctrl + space" or "Ctrl + @" will let you search through all your bookmarks and select the command you want.

This post was waaaaay longer than I expected, but damn that was one of the wildest things I've ever read. Took me 2 days to finish reading, but so fucking worth it.

Anyway, so this is a blog post about why @Tio and @Sasha got married and what they had to go through for that. Reading this was like going through an emotional roller-coaster, at one point I'm laughing hysterically, at another I'm almost about to cry, so many unexpected twists and turns, lol. Tio I'm glad you wrote this blog post in such a great detail, maybe it'd open up some people's eyes about these things, or at least make them understand people like you. TBH I never expected this much drama in this post, reading through some of those things almost made be cry, I'm sorry you had to go through all that, but I'm even more saddened by the fact that what you experienced was just a glimpse of the reality outside.

In the end I'm happy that both of you are together now, I think you guys deserve each other ❤️

heh yeah...people have no clue how fucked up our society is, simply because they learn not to "disturb" it. Most people are compliant slaves, and they never will poke at this society to see how truly fucked up it is. They think we live in a democracy, with rules and laws to keep things organized and such. But these are the working slaves who will go to school, then have a job, get married, buy a house, get in debt, stay in the same place, go to holidays, and have the same exact life like everyone else. For them facebook is a great social platform, the gov is a good parent to have, the society is working.

Anyway....the fact that 2 humans cannot live together on this planet for no reason other than "papers", is fucked up to say the least.

@Tio @Sasha I was actually familiar with this idea of marriage being a ritual and a human invention, even before I met you guys I heard this idea somewhere and it stuck with me. Its funny because even people who understands that religion is a human invention, sometimes even they can't wrap their head around the fact that marriage is one. I'm not trying to make fun of people here, I understand that they're just accustomed to these values from growing up in such cultures. Like you mentioned in that blog post, its really sad because there are lots of good humans out there with kind hearts, they just grew up in a weird and fucked up world, this is actually one of the saddest things I've ever seen, I was able to understand all your frustrations and sadness because I'm also kinda "weird" like you. But I don't know how to describe it to people because most of them consider this as a normality :(

@Tobias @Michael Vogel @Hypolite Petovan Maybe its better to allow users to choose this for themselves. Some users may prefer to see their own abstracts, this improves consistency and would also work as a preview. Some other users may want to hide their own abstracts like the above message explains. So letting the users choose for themselves might be a good idea 🤔

Testing abstracts in Friendica
Huh, I can see the abstract as a content warning from mastodon, but here on Friendica it doesn't even show me there is a content warning on that post. This only happens with my own posts BTW, when someone else on mastodon puts up a content warning then it'll show up on my friendica, but not when I put one on my own post. Weird.....

My apology would be something like "Sorry I didn't mean to be rude, I have edited the post above to make it more clear". I don't think this would confuse people at all, and mastodon even allows users to look at the history of an edited post so they can look at my old post if they want. Mastodon also gives people a notification about my edit if they have interacted with that post in any way.

@tio made another TROMjaro video 🙂 - videos.trom.tf/w/bE5Rw3pc5WvmL…

Tio's sound is a bit different this time because he has COVID, wishing you a quick recovery my friend :blobcatheart:

If you watch this video you'll understand how awesome XFCE is, I'm impressed by how such a lightweight DE could be this much extensible. And of course #TROMjaro takes all of this awesomeness and makes it usable and easy for users, having sane defaults is very important if you're new to linux.

in reply to Rokosun

is not very comfortable with using the terminal so he always prefers GUI programs if available. But me being a fan of the linux #terminal, I wanted to help them improve it. Tio now calls me "The terminal guy", haha 😂

Anyway, if you wanna know what exactly we changed and what all features were added you can read through our release notes here - forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-…
(Just read under the section "Making the the terminal super cool.")

l also added a little "vim_mode" for all the vim fans 😉

So you use linux, that's nice 🙂. And its useful to know the basic terminal commands, you can always just look up the man pages to show you more info when you need it :)

I'm now more experienced with terminals, and I've tweaked a bunch of things to make them easier for me, the post above explains some of it. I don't know what exactly it was, but I think it was learning vim that actually made me realize that terminal is easier to use in some cases compared to a GUI.

Fellow #fosstodon users, if you didn't know a new #emoji has been added to our instance !
This is it - :blobcatgiggle:
Isn't it just the cutest emoji ever ? :blobcatgiggle:

To use this emoji you just have to type blobcatgiggle with two colon : symbols on either side of it.

Thank you to @fosstodon admins @kev & @mike for adding this emoji upon my request, you guys are awesome 🥰

#Tromjaro linux has a nice little thing that I believe is useful for all linux users, this is it - tromjaro.com/apps/

You can find hundreds of Trade-free linux apps there, all of them are GUI programs and there are screenshots attached for each one. Even though TROMjaro is not my daily driver I sometimes use this service to search for apps like photo editors, video players, etc.

The install button on these pages may only work on TROMjaro, but its very easy for me to find the package name.

@tblock is a system-wide ad & tracker blocker, I just installed it on my system and it works like a charm 😀

Its currently just a CLI program, I like that minimalism. But they're also working on making a GUI for this if you're interested ;)

If you want to know how this works I recommend you watch this video - youtube.com/watch?v=KA6A3oeocH…

TBlock basically does the same thing, but automates this entire process for you, and you're also able to subscribe to multiple blocklists as well, not just the one shown on that video. TBlock can also update and sync the blocklist as well :)

It was 1972, and I was in S. Korea, at an airport waiting for a flight that got delayed. Bonus, a bowling alley nearby to kill some time!

I rent my shoes, find a ball I like and roll my first ball down the alley.

I knocked down all but 1 pin!

THEN, 4 arms come down from above the pins and start clearing away what I'd knocked down.

They were still using pin-boys! 😁

@tio just made a video showcasing the Layout switcher & Theme switcher apps on TROMjaro - videos.trom.tf/w/gsVhyEnuVyCFF…

Having been worked on both of these apps, I'm very happy to see it in action 😃

Today if you search online most of the videos showcasing this distro were showing the old gnome version, even though last year TROMjaro moved to XFCE and a lot of things have changed since then. So yeah, this new video will be useful for giving people more relevant & updated info.

If you haven't read "The origin of most problems" by @tio, you should give it a try. This book explains in simple terms how one single thing, just one, creates most of our problems regardless of societies, cultures, and eras: from famine to wars, from data collection to abuse, from crimes to climate change, from corruption to poor quality goods and services, and so forth.

Will There Be FEWER Linux Distros In The Future? (Especially Arch Based Distros)

I think it'd be really cool if Arch Linux started becoming more like NixOS and starts supporting reproducibility. It would be a game changer IMO !

Do you want to run your own #fediverse instance without having to deal with all the technical jargon of setting up and maintaining servers ?

webape.site is a new service that offers managed #hosting of #mastodon and #peertube instances. They also offer #nextcloud installations and #wordpress websites too. Their price is really cheap compared to other similar services.

You can find them on the fediverse at @webape

For people who don't know, I have a Friendica account at @roko. I will be using it to write long posts and replies since Friendica doesn't have any character limit, and they also allow text formatting and inline images so I can write entire blog posts there if I want to 😁

And now I have set up my Friendica account to automatically boost everything I post here on my mastodon account, and its working like a charm 😀

Wonderful! :) - Friendica is underrated. So much! Cross post on Twitter and Wordpress too...connect with both (comments, follow, replies); Connects with everything in the Fediverse I think. Acts as an RSS reader, etc. Ofc you know all of this but it is for those who may see your post :) .

Pinned post not working properly


!Friendica Support
I have pinned this post on my friendica account, but it doesn't seem to be working properly. In my account it appears like that post is pinned, but if I open another browser and go to my public profile here, it doesn't show any pinned posts. The same thing happen with mastodon federation, if I visit this friendica account from mastodon it doesn't show any pinned posts. Why does this happen ?
