I always browse subscribed. Problem is a lot of posts in technology and similar unrelated boards have political keywords in their titles.

 

I've got political words, certain names, and "Daily Screenshot" because I'm tired of seeing those posts. Tempted to add AI to it.

You got the French language initials backwards, OP.

It should be rm -fr /*

Dont have an account on reddit, so not banned. I do lurk from time to time though.

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?
