So I don't even use systemd myself I run OpenRC. Yet honestly I find the idea quite intriguing, having the service manager (PID 1) invoke the command seems like a cool idea to me.

It's not really a sudo alternative as much as it is another way of doing something similar.

Hey LKW fahrer hier, mach gerade meine 45 Minuten Pause (-;

LKWs haben zwar tote Winkel Spiegel und ich muss sagen dass ich darin eigentlich bis jetzt immer alles sehen konnte (fahre erst seit ein paar Wochen), aber rechts habe ich 4 Spiegel, da geht schnell mal was unter oder man wird (leider) faul, so wie manche PKW Fahrer keinen Schulterblick machen. Habe bei meinen Einschulungsfahrten Fahrer gesehen, die garnicht erst in die Spiegel geschaut haben beim abbiegen. Der Warner in den LKWs meiner Firma piepst automatisch wenn er bei eingeschlagenem Lenkrad oder Blinker was erkennt, so ist man zumindest aufmerksam wenn doch mal etwas rechts neben dem Auto ist.

Tote Winkel gibt es aber zumindest auf jeden fall direkt hinter dem LKW, da gibts auch keine Spiegel für. Wundert mich manchmal selbst wenn aus dem nichts ein Auto zum überholen ansetzt das ich hinter mir garnicht kommen sehen konnte.

Sonst ist eigentlich alles gut durch Spiegel abgedeckt. Trotzdem bitte vorsicht rechts neben und direkt vorm LKW. Kein Fahrer fährt euch gerne an.

Also tiktok really only makes sense with a big algorithm knowing what users want to see. Even if you were to follow many people, with the average video being only about 30 seconds long you won't have much content to enjoy. The whole short form video thing is kinda built on knowing what your user likes and doesn't. I don't know how you could design such a platform without some privacy concerns.

I had the absolute pleasure to sit in BOTH of these Panthers at Innsbruck airport last year.

They even startet the engines and drove out of the hangar with us inside and gave us a little water salute. Absolute pleasure, I felt like a little kid!

I do have a video of the spray, sadly there were many people around and I don't want to show their faces. Needless to say these things shoot water like a rocket!

Karma inherently breeds monotony and circlejerking. When people "farm" for fake internet pointe by appealing to the oppinions of everyone else it leads to people just expressing one "right" (popular) oppinion.

I think we are fine without a karma system, but if you like it go ahead and use the extension. I'm happy I don't have to worry about karma, and worst of all, karma minimums on communities here.

[Swaybar] Cava in swaybar (social.jears.at)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by jeremias@social.jears.at to c/unixporn@lemmy.ml

Distro: Gentoo

WM: Sway

Bar: Swaybar

It seems swaybar gets very little love, but it is honestly amazing how easily customizable it is.

I have only been able to find similar things for waybar, so I thought I should probably just code up a solution for spectrum visualization myself.

In the background runs a little selfmade C program that uses cava in binary raw mode, playerctl, pactl and some system functions to gather all the necessary information like the spectrum analyzer, song currently playing, volume and date/time.

Some rudimentary optimization was done to keep swaybar from drawing when the levels haven't changed, so if no audio is playing it takes up basically no computing power.

The source code is pretty hacked together, but if someone wants it, just comment and I'll provide it.

~~A small moving demo of the spectrum analyzer: https://youtu.be/S7IFNHgnybU~~

Edit: turns out YouTube doesn't like weird aspect ratios and stopped processing the video, so here we go again, this time hosted on my server: https://jears.at/pub/swaybar-demo.webm https://jears.at/pub/swaybar-demo.webm

Wayland is a Display Server Protocol, meaning it is a specification of how a program wanting to display something like a window communicates with another program, the display server, which handles drawing to the screen.

It matters because it vastly simplifies and modernizes display server infrastructure.

X is huge, with many parts from the 80s and 90s that were simply not needed today, creating a fully compliant X Server with all extensions was pretty much impossible, which is the reason pretty much only X.org existed as a full implementation.

Some benefits for users are no screen tearing, VRR and support for more complicated setups like having multiple monitors all with a different refresh rate, which was a pain in the ass on X but is no problem on wayland.

X is going to die, especially with the fact that frredesktop and the two big DEs, GNOME and KDE are working on it. Some distros come with wayland by default already.

If I develop anything with a GUI I use GTK4. It has a bit of a learning curve to it but honestly I've come to like it.

I am currently creating a program for simulating networks and the drawing area is great for drawing the actual simulation because it basically allows you to have a cairo area as a widget so your possibilities there are basically unlimited and cairo is just a great drawing API.

Also gtk is basically the only modern GUI toolkit that can be used with C, which is great because it is pretty much the only language I know well enough to program a big application with. (But GObject still feels like black magic to me)

There's the Github repo

No code in there but clearly states it is made with electron.

Your eye does rotate!

Look at your eyes in the mirror and rotate your head, look on the veins in your eye and you will see that your eye tries to stay parallel to the ground.

In humans it is just much less obvious due to our round pupils.

I am running gentoo on 4 different systems currently.

Setup can be a bit of a hustle, especially on exotic hardware (one of my devices is a Pine64 Quartz64) but once it’s running maintenance isn’t that big of a deal, an emerge —sync && emerge -avdu @world per week generally is all the maintenance I do.

Also if you want to learn about linux there is probably no better way except LFS which will not leave you with a system you can easily use in day to day work.

I say give it a shot if you have the time and are willing to learn and troubleshoot!

I am from austria and honestly I feel ashamed. What honestly gets my blood boiling is the fact, that there is a high chance the people that connected through his exit node are probably still free.

It is like jailing the postman for delivering a letter containing CP. Anyway I hope the people actually actively distributing and using CP get what they deserve.
