That's still useful information. I use the Linux Command Library from FDroid. It is really good for seeing similar commands, variations, one liner examples, cheat sheets for Vim/Emacs, etc.

I can recommend that for others like me who have trouble with commands.

  • After dealing with mpd with ncmpcpp client and constant crashing, I finally recalled that I saved this post. It is fantastic! I could kiss your face!

    How do we get help with using meson to setup pmstream?

    Thanks so much for this! What a breath of fresh air!

    I have a tough time reading man pages. It seems to be harder since everything went to systemd. After 20 years of Linux use, I still feel really dumb. I'm just now getting better with Vim keying.

    Is there a trick to reading man page formats? I'm a bit autistic and not an intuitive communicator. Sometimes I wish man pages had more example commands. I also wish there was a way to freeze the format at the top while scrolling options so I didn't need to have 3 windows open to see format, scroll options, and have another open for actually typing.

  • However, higher ups in the Trump White House have routinely violated and ignored security protocols; they could abuse their power to use their own personal phones and to ignore security checks.

    They're so dumb that they probably just hired the hacker so hacking could be unnecessary.

    I've always made up a person to fit in. Masking has taken a toll and I hate the person I've pretended to be. That person is boring, polished, and an over achiever. Since.I was punished severely on a daily basis at 4 years old and afterwards, my true self never was known to me. Only my self who could survive.

    Where do we find our unmasked real self after reaching "the big one" burnout? When your braim stops working, you're no longer functional, and the person you made can no longer be sustained, what do you do?

    I'm in my 40s and it's rough.

     

    I've heard of people getting VOIP numbers but not sure how this works.

    I tried to get an extra number to forward, but those sites ask you to agree to the same privacy violations. I'm so pissed.

    What can we do to recieve phone calls for jobs without signing up for endless spam?

     

    Spent lots of time with Gnome 2.

    In Dec 2024 I got hooked in Hyprland on Arch and have a cool rice for it. But I've tried KDE on desktop now with Parrot OS since Plasma is popular. Still need to find some cool dot files or rice it myself.

    I've noticed SwayFX getting lots of love lately. I might use that as an option with Plasma but am afraid of conflicts. I'm excited about it since Linux has now officially replaced windows on my gaming rig, which is the very last MS computer left in my house.

     

    I'm in US. Every year it gets harder and harder to get my meds. Since my doc is in another state, I have to drive 80 miles to get ADHD, anxiety, and sleep meds. However, I can just get my other meds near my current house.

    Also, instead of have refills on my sleep meds, they have to be prescribed by the month. It's really annoying because I drive to get them and pharmacy doesn't have them due to a mistake while interfacing with my doc. It's happened a few times now. All the docs here are insurance billing farms so I never switched any doctors when I moved.

    ADHD and all comorbidities seem to create a need for meds that are harder and harder to get. Drug tests, drug shortages, sleepless nights... At this point I want to sue the DEA. (Drug enforcement agency - Sorry for American defaultism) Anyone else have these issues?

     

    So I've spent hours deleting gmail emails on an account I've held on to despite moving to other providers. Had it for decades now. When I'm done switching the last of my accounts to my new emails, I think I'm going to make fake profiles in cat forums and select all the notifications I can just to fill Googles servers with bullshit.

    In the days of memory shortages, I'm definitely not just giving them that 15 GB of space for them to use it to store and sell other's info while they use the cash to buy legislation. It sure would be terrible if others wasted all their storage that way too. Fill it up with emails about crazy conspiracy shit, Jesus, and Grindr messages.
