  • Destroy a Microphone

    Jump

  • I clicked on this because I thought it was a mouse with an interesting design and microphone.

  • Favourite software that "sucks less"

    Jump

  • The one thing I wouldn't agree with is ffmpeg.

    It does not do one thing. It does a thousand things. The way different functionality works is inconsistent. In some cases you need to read the source code to understand how or why something is happening, as it's not generated in the already expansive documentation. To me, it's the antithesis of the UNIX philosophy.

    That said, it's a brilliant piece of software.

  • Arch user looks for ease of mind

    Jump

  • Maybe one of the Fedora Atomic distros would be up your alley? https://fedoraproject.org/atomic-desktops/

    I don't think NixOS meets the bill. You'd be learning and troubleshooting a whole new language just to setup your system and modify the core configuration.

  • Which program is the one that surprised you most that it is available on Linux?

    Jump

  • How did you manage to convince them?

  • [Debian Stable] Which Static Blog Generator: blag, Jekyll, Hugo, Lektor, Pelican, staticsite?

    Jump

  • Admittedly I've only used it with a preconfigured theme and no need for real customization. If you do need those features, I'd imagine the other commenters are correct.

  • [Debian Stable] Which Static Blog Generator: blag, Jekyll, Hugo, Lektor, Pelican, staticsite?

    Jump

  • I would also recommend Hugo, and believe it meets your requirements. The header markdown looks very similar to what you wrote, and it has tags. I'm not sure about a tag "cloud" the way you imagine it, but it's worth looking into.

  • ZFS or LUKS/btrfs for my use case

    Jump

  • I think btrfs ticks all your boxes. I would suggest yabsnap for snapshots. Then if you want a backup off-disk use borg or btrfs has a way to transmit (sync) to a remote. Yabsnap has a command which will make a script to restore from backup, which you can review and run.

  • scanner

    Jump

  • I have a Canon MX340 (maybe pixma?) that works with gutenprint. The ADF is a bit messed up but it otherwise works as intended. If you have a similar model, it will probably be supported.

  • Linux mint PS4-PS5 controllers

    Jump

  • I have DS4 working in Arch with Wine. As someone else mentioned, the hid-playstation kmod just worked out of the box. The key for some games to work properly was to add a SDL2 gamepad mapping.

    Also see section 3.10 here which may be relevant: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamepad

  • Thinking of switching to Surf Fiber internet from the Comcast Xfinity Cable I currently have - any suggestions?

    Jump

  • What the hell is typical latency? To what?

  • Does any tracker support bittorrent v2?

    Jump

  • Yeah qBittorrent does

  • Does any tracker support bittorrent v2?

    Jump

  • Several do, specifically Radiance and Torrust-Tracker that I know of off-hand. There are definitely others.

    A recent project of mine was a utility for creating v2/hybrid torrents, and I'd like to follow it up with a client and maybe tracker in the future.

  • 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup?

    Jump

  • I have a storage VPS and use Borg backup with Borgmatic. In my case, I have multiple systems in different repos on the remote. There are several providers, such as hetzner, borgbase, and rsync.net that offer borg storage, in the event you don't want to manage the server yourself.

  • What file explorer does qBittorrent use? (Debian/KDE)

    Jump

  • I believe you can set dolphin to be like this. I have it so I can either double click to go into a folder, or expand it for the tree view.

  • Which (Lenovo) notebooks to buy when coming from Apple Silicon?

    Jump

  • Both the T14s and X1 Carbon would be good options. I also have an x390 which I quite like.

  • Crypto

    Jump

  • It's increasingly harder to exchange for fiat anonymously, especially when you consider XMR or other privacy coins. Once the people in charge of money realized they were a bit subverted, you got the huge crackdown.

    I still use it for various things. Buy LTC from a legit licensed exchange. Move it around a bit. Change to XMR through an exchange that doesn't care. Maybe move it around some more. It's a giant pain, but I don't know a better way. This method isn't perfect, more of a balance of risk, but it's better than just handing your entire entity over for a simple transaction.

  • I don't know how steamos works, but if it's arch-based, can you just do pacman -Syu to update?

  • kitty, nvim, fish, zed, mpv, btop, borg. Weird how all the gone ones have short names. Depending on the system, I would add tlp as well.

  • Google Calculator is so funny

    Jump

  • yetCalc?

    I don't know if it's on the play store.
