  • An open source repairable printer.

    Jump

  • This is one of the first appliances I tought about when I discovered open hardware. Considering it was a proprietary printer that first roused Richard Stallman's anger, and considering printers have had some of the most unfair and obnoxious defective designs, it seemed only fitting to liberate those machines first. Only a few weeks ago did I have a friend telling me their printer had refused to work, until pers figured out pers's subscription had expired. There was nothing I could do apart from warning them once more about DRM and proprietary software and hardware. It is good news indeed to see someone working on this.

  • When is it time to switch away from youtube?

    Jump

  • Peertube. Then, you can use a peertube search engine like Sepia search to search across many peertube instances, replicating the youtube user interface. Sepia search has a long way to go but if peertube grows it will get there. Searching technology is already a solved problem.

  • I agree with the FUCK COPYRIGHT statement, but copyright law and patent law have nothing to do with each other. please stop mixing these two concepts together. Richard Stallman has a great presentation where he discusses patent law, I think it is called "Patent law, danger to programmers" or something close to that.

  • Personally between downloading music from youtube with yt-dlp and bandcamp I don't feel like I'm missing out.

  • If you find out a way of ripping blu-rays with libre software or find some tools that look like they could be assembled to solve the issue, do share! I don't feel like doing it myself for now because I have only 5 blu-rays but maybe it would be simple to change my existing script to adapt to blu-ray. Have you tried using dvdbackup or lsdvd on a blu-ray? Both programs rely on libdvdread, maybe it works on blu-ray too. In that case I think it wouldn't be too hard to adapt dvd2mkv to blu-ray.

  • Creating a WYSIWYG GUI markdown editor - Bad idea to emulate vim features vs. embed neovim?

  • emacs has everything on this list I think.

  • Hey I finished my ripping guide and ended up writing my own script which uses only libre software (dvdbackup, lsdvd, mkvmerge and jq). Worked great for my collection of ~350 dvd. Check it out!

  • I would rather own my files on my phone like it's the year 2000 than my devices becoming useless whenever $streaming_service shuts down or changes policy like it's the year 1984...

  • Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux

    Jump

  • I don't understand why they mention programmable keyboards there. Buying a programmable keyboard to be able to rebind your keys is silly when it can be made entirely through software. On X11 for example you can load a .Xkeymap file and set your keyboard mappings this way. I use this to have a modified dvorak keymap with Altgr+auoeidhtns giving [{(|=+]}] on the home row for instance, very convenient. Then I use my window manager i3 to rebind mod+p to send Ctrl+V using xdotool (because mod+p seems more vim-like) and I've set my terminal urxvt to treat Ctrl+V as paste. if all software supported the Sun copy paste keys then I could send those keys instead of Ctrl+V.

  • Should have use libre software from the start my guy! Jellyfin / Kodi let's go

  • Note-taking in vim/neovim

    Jump

  • For now I would recommend orgmode, neorg does not have all the features of org yet. It's important to note orgmode also has awesome plugins like org-roam.

  • OK I had the same problem as you and found the solution in dvdbackup + mkvtoolnix + some scripting glue + [optional step: ffmpeg/handbrake for transcoding]. My solution works but is not optimal but it works using only libre software. I'm writing a page on my website to document this libre dvd ripping setup, it is very much in progress but I will be improving it as I go, hence I prefer to point you to the page.

    I had to dig around on the makemkv forum to find the source code: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224 but I have no idea how recent that is and the developpers are only giving the minimum source out of obligation from the GPL. They litteraly wrote "GPL is cancer" in their source code. This, plus the fact that there was no clear link to the source code and that it's distributed as a tar (couldn't find a git repo) really stinks.

  • The Wizard and His Shell

    Jump

  • I don't know, nothing struck me as new, the only difference is the presentation and the mouse (but I prefer keyboard). the example given for animated indicators already exists using ASCII escape codes. my zsh already has syntax highlighting on the prompt indicating mistyped commands, and suggest possible completions with a tui (with vim bindings). I could go on but anyway my point is everything they show is already possible with a tui, the only reason a clicky clicky solution doesn't exist is because keyboard are freakin better and faster. They are right that we need a terminal evolution/revolution, but it's not the mouse.
