Typo in the first sentence.

Should say "Qt nice is here!"

 

From fast4x in the RiMusic Telegram channel:

Hi all, i can only say that i am very sorry and that unfortunately the project cannot continue to be a music streaming app based on YouTube.

It is unfortunate this happened to such a good FOSS music streaming app. Hopefully, someone can continue it.

To all the people who contributed to RiMusic all this time, thank you for making a great music streaming app!

As well, thank you fast4x for working hard each week to get RiMusic to where it is.

Is it truly random though? If in a specific point in time, the number generated is always the same, then that's not truly random.

Absolute true randomness would be a different result every time it is generated in that specific point in time.

A bit Sci-Fi and probably unrealistic opinion, but it does make me curious about how this kind of randomness could be implemented.

 

So, I've recently binged a YouTube channel called Linux Creative Project, which documents someone's transition from macOS to Linux for creative work. They go over their hardware, software, and their experiences/problems during the transition.

Any of you know any other YouTube channels that do something similar (Documenting their transition to Linux)?

 
 

So, I've decided that I want to reinstall Arch on my laptop, but this time separate /home from root, and encrypt it using LUKS.

I made a backup of my current, unencrypted home directory (I didn't separate them initially) using:

sudo rsync -aXS --exclude='/*/.gvfs' /home/. /mnt/home/.

Once I wipe Arch and reinstall it, encrypting /home, would I be able to transfer my unencrypted files to the encrypted /home partition, and have them become encrypted?

I'm not creative, so I made these templates for everyone.

Alternative template with D: face on bottom:

 

So, I'm making an install.sh script to download script files from GitHub to the user's system. I know downloading to the home directory (~/script_dir/) is typically frowned upon.

For context, this is a directory containing python files, README, requirements, etc. pip dependencies need to be installed before launch. The script would be executed through main.py.

Where would be a good place to download to that won't clutter the user's home directory?

Edit: The script is a CLI interface for yt-dlp to make it easier to use. So, it will download files to specified directories on the user's system.

Edit 2: Appreciate the responses. I forgot to mention this script has a config file it uses for certain parameters, such as default download directory for each category. If a config file doesn't exist it creates one in the script's directory and dumps the default values from a default config file (YAML).

Some of you are mentioning this could be a PyPI package. Would I still be able to read/write my config files if I made this a PyPI package?
