  • Meanwhile Nim:

    echo "I am still worthy"
    
    let a = r"I hate the ugly '\' at the end of " &
             "multiline statements"
    
    for x in 0..9:
      if x == 6: echo x
    
    echo x # this is error in Nim, but not in python. Insane!
    
    assert false + 1 # this is an error (python devs in shambles)
    assert true - 1 # see above
    

    Thanks for coming to my Ted-talk.

  • One big happy family.
  • Ubuntu: 😮why?

    For a lot of people Ubuntu is the linux. Canonical is just good at marketing. For all it worth, Ubuntu is not the bad choice for average user who's not into ricing and not bothered by bloat.

    Manjaro: haven’t you managed to kill it yet?

    I've been using Arch and Manjaro for couple years each and in my experience they both break regularly. But, for some weird reason, Arch Linux is praised, when Manjaro is shamed upon.

    Mint: ex windows guy?

    Aren't we all?

    Or it could be because I've had "Google" app disabled for the past 3 years.

  • Wandavision was a 10/10 series for me, until they reintroduced all the usual boring superhero marvel slop back.

    It had interesting characters, humor, mystery, weird unsettling feeling when simulation was a bit off. But they had to ruin it and replace with lots of bad CGI effects.

  • One of the more famous and recent examples is a buryat mummy of Dashi Dorzho Itigilov

    His mummy is extra creepy because it has elastic skin, hair and fat so it looks as if he's still alive (see pic in the article):

    According to Buryat Buddhists, Itigilov’s body is so well preserved because the Lama is still living, having achieved the higher meditative state known as śūnyatā, or emptiness

  • Social Engineering
  • Then you just wait until somebody enters in.
    When the person opens the door you run to them and yell "wait wait wait" while frantically gesturing. After you enter - say quick "thank you" and disappear.

  • I was stupid enough to use one wire and not two, or I wouldn’t be here typing this

    Well, I was smarter, but, thankfully, still here.
    I was maybe 5 years old when one day I decided for some reason that I have to know how the electricity works "first hand". So I took an electrical plug with a wire from dad's tool box. It had two exposed copper ends. I plugged it in the outlet and while trying to inspect the "electricity" flow I, most likely accidentaly, have completed the circuit with my hand.

    Interesting how the experience wasn't painful it's just muscles in your body get tense and you literally can't drop the wire or move at all. Thank god my Dad was around and maybe 10 seconds after I got shocked he pulled the plug. I had no serious injuries: just burns, a bit of shock and a lifelong lesson.

    P.S. It was a 220V outlet too. But I'm not sure if it's more dangerous than the US ones.

  • the fear of missing out a better compression
  • Zip is fine (I prefer 7z), until you want to preserve attributes like ownership and read/write/execute rights.

    Some zip programs support saving unix attributes, other - do not. So when you download a zip file from the internet - it's always a gamble.
    Tar + gzip/bz2/xz is more Linux-friendly in that regard.

    Also, zip compresses each file separately and then collects all of them in one archive.
    Tar collects all the files first, then you compress the tarball into an archive, which is more efficient and produces smaller size.

  • From interview: it started as a research project. The author wanted a distribution that uses the least system resources with maximum performance.
    He started with archlinux, moved on to gentoo and to go even deeper - found the infamous "linux from scratch" and started to shape his own distro.

    Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you?
  • Ok, because of this post - I decided to bite the bullet and try wayland again. And it was much better experience this time:

    I've installed sway "pattern" on OpenSuse-Tumbleweed and:

    • Previous time I had some issues with lightdm not supporting sway, now - it just works.
    • I still use xdotool and i3-msg in my custom scratchpad script and yet everything is working.

    waybar absolutely supports clicking tray icons.

    I confused it with swaybar, that's installed with sway by default and should be an i3bar-compatible. Waybar doesn't seem to support i3bar protocol, but anyway, after I configured it - it's like 95% there from what I want.

    • I had to force xcb platform for appimage of nekoray (qt VPN gui), because it's complaining about missing wayland-egl plugin. But it's a small problem with straightforward fix, so not that bad.
  • Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you?
  • I could switch tomorrow if I could do my current setup:

    • Tiling Window manager (sway?)
    • simple status bar to output text from a script with clickable applet icons (waybar?)
    • the way to show/hide windows on a button press - I have a script that I use to quickly toggle 3 dropdown terminal windows

    Last time I tried Wayland in December, I had issues with waybar not supporting clicking tray applet icons. Also I've ported my dropdown terminals script to support sway - and it worked half the time, like, literally every second key press was ignored.

    On one hand I have X session that currently has no downsides for me, on other - wayland that has no upsides. Tell me, why would I switch?
