  • Are there any examples of 'perfect' software?

    Jump

  • Not sure about LaTeX, but TeX is widely considered to be almost "perfect" code.

  • MOS Is a New Open-Source Server OS Aimed at Homelabs and Self-Hosting

    Jump

  • Yeah, ZFS support can be a bit annoying to deal with. I use kmod packages, but have faced small issues in the past. It's usually pretty easy to resolve them, tho. Just stay on an older kernel for a few days.

    Jump

  • To each their own, but I really don't see the point of these distros. I usually just install Debian or AlmaLinux on my homeservers and build on top of it. I guess extra tooling can be helpful, but I've never felt the need for it.

  • Page views for "Zulip" Wikipedia article skyrocket after Discord announces its age verification nonsense

    Jump

  • It's very commonly used in academia. (Well, I can only speak about math communities, since that's where I have experience. I guess math people are usually more into FOSS than others in academia.)

    Anyway, I love it.

  • What's the most fun programming language to learn?

    Jump

  • I had the most fun learning Haskell. Mostly because it was so different from the languages that I knew. Also, learning Lean was fun. But I guess that's kinda niche since it's not very relevant for anything but pure mathematics.

  • Virgin Framework vs Chad ThinkPad

    Jump

  • I would highly recommend the Framework 13. I've had it for a bit more than a year now. The only problem I've faced was that the WiFi card was a bit unstable in EndeavourOS. But that was fixed by replacing wpa_supplicant with iwd. (I hear that it was only an issue for the AMD version, and that it's fixed now.) Battery life is fine for me. I limit charging at 70%, and that usually lasts me the whole day.

    I love how Linux friendly it is. On my last laptop (an HP), it was pretty much impossible to upgrade the BIOS from inside Linux. Now it's trivial. There's also good support available when you face issues. (Both from Framework, and community members.) The hardware is pretty nice. I actually like how it's MacBook-like, because it just looks nice in most settings. It's portable too, I really hope they don't make it bulkier like some folks here seem to demand.

  • There IS one of these for everything, eh?

  • KDE Plasma 6.6 Lets Users Create Custom Global Themes From Current Settings

    Jump

  • Slightly off topic, but man, I wish there was a nice way to track all changes in all settings. I don't really wanna go immutable. I also know about software that tracks directories like /etc as a git repo, but that'll only track the newer changes. I want something that can help me replicate my current setup easily.

  • Gimp Heal Selection Tool - Resynthesizer

    Jump

  • It's fine. I'm not a professional, but I've used it before. It was enough for what I wanted to achieve.

  • How to make browser auto reload html when changed?

    Jump

  • Diptyx Open Source Dual-Screen E-Reader Launches on Crowd Supply

    Jump

  • If this were a single screen device, I would've given it some serious thought. I'm reading one page at a time, so I don't see the point of a dual screen e-reader. Single screen would be cheaper, and also lighter.

    I guess I'll stick with my Kobo for now.

  • Rust bad Jai good

    Jump

  • AFAIK, it's still in closed beta.

  • Rust bad Jai good

    Jump

  • You're spot on. The same people complain endlessly about Rust being used in the Linux kernel, even though the actual experts are happy with it. It's just culture war bullshit.

    I didn't know how much of a change Lunduke had had until recently, when I watched a video by Nicco. I used to watch his Linux Sucks videos 4-5 years ago, and he genuinely seemed like a chill dude.

  • Kinda proud of this python script I wrote

    Jump

  • Good work, but this can be done in a more efficient way by utilizing the qBittorrent API in more places. Also, you may wanna utilize gluetun's VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_UP_COMMAND for calling the script.

    Here's my script. I used bash since the gluetun container doesn't have Python in it.

     bash
        
#!/bin/sh

# Adapted from https://github.com/claabs/qbittorrent-port-forward-file/blob/master/main.sh

# set -e

qbt_username="${QBT_USERNAME}"
qbt_password="${QBT_PASSWORD}"
qbt_addr="${QBT_ADDR:-http://localhost:8085/}"

if [ -z ${qbt_username} ]; then
    echo "You need to provide a username by the QBT_USERNAME env variable"
    exit 1
fi

if [ -z ${qbt_password} ]; then
    echo "You need to provide a password by the QBT_PASSWORD env variable"
    exit 1
fi

port_number="$1"
if [ -z "$port_number" ]; then
    port_number=$(cat /tmp/gluetun/forwarded_port)
fi

if [ -z "$port_number" ]; then
    echo "Could not figure out which port to set."
    exit 1
fi

wait_time=1
tries=0
while [ $tries -lt 10 ]; do
    wget --save-cookies=/tmp/cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --header="Referer: $qbt_addr" --header="Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
      --post-data="username=$qbt_username&password=$qbt_password" --output-document /dev/null --quiet "$qbt_addr/api/v2/auth/login"

    listen_port=$(wget --load-cookies=/tmp/cookies.txt --output-document - --quiet "$qbt_addr/api/v2/app/preferences" | grep -Eo '"listen_port":[0-9]+' | awk -F: '{print $2}')

    if [ ! "$listen_port" ]; then
        [ $wait_time -eq 1 ] && second_word="second" || second_word="seconds"
        echo "Could not get current listen port, trying again after $wait_time $second_word..."
        sleep $wait_time
        [ $wait_time -lt 32 ] && wait_time=$(( wait_time*2 )) # Set a max wait time of 32 secs
        tries=$(( tries+1 ))
        continue
    fi

    if [ "$port_number" = "$listen_port" ]; then
        echo "Port already set to $port_number, exiting..."
        exit 0
    fi

    echo "Updating port to $port_number"

    wget --load-cookies=/tmp/cookies.txt --header="Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" --post-data='json={"listen_port": "'$port_number'"}' \
      --output-document /dev/null --quiet "$qbt_addr/api/v2/app/setPreferences"

    echo "Successfully updated port"
    exit 0
done

echo "Failed after 10 attempts!"
exit 2

    For the auto-exit stuff, you may wanna check out docker's healthcheck functionality.

    Not trying to put you down or anything here, it's great to learn to do things by yourself. Just giving you some pointers.

  • what's the coolest thing you have ever programmed?

  • Chhoto URL - It's a simple URL shortener written in Rust.

    I've written more programs, some of which are more useful in my daily life than this (e.g. movie-rename) but this is one that many seem to find interesting, and that's kinda cool I guess. Also, I'm proud of some of my Lean code, but that stuff's not published.

  • Amber the programming language compiled to Bash, 0.5.1 release

    Jump

  • Oh, definitely. Its syntax is so simple, you can basically learn the basics over an afternoon. Outside of applications where consistent low latency is critical, if I can spare some extra RAM and CPU, I prefer Go to Rust.

  • Also useful for scripts to be executed inside containers. Alpine doesn't have Python installed by default.

    Jump

  • Been there, done that lol. Nowadays, if I think that some script is getting too long, I just rewrite it in Go. It's faster to write than Rust (in fact, I find it almost as easy as Python), and performant enough for replacing scripts.
