I'm a graphics guy. That's my use case. Others might indeed use it for weird network boot setups or full-disk encryption schemes.

Yeah, I was trolling a bit. I'm still not terribly convinced IPC is really needed before a stage when you can run something that should be as simple as dbus.

Do you mean the proprietary Sun audio interface, or the lovely proprietary OSS reimplementation of it? OSS's primary interface is in /dev/dsp, and ALSA's is in /dev/pcm/pcmC0D0p.

Zombywuf posted:dbus status: still poo poo I had some bs with a system the other day, after an update it started running out of processes for no reason. Tracked it down to dbus, don't know exactly what the issue is but it is spawning zombie processes, which eventually hits the proc limit for the machine. I have papered over it for the time being by increasing the number of processes. I'm hopeful that a future system update will fix the forking issue. Or maybe it's something else but I can't be bothered to investigate further

I mean seriously, you even get to specify the dir it's mounted in and it's one command. Then you can just cd to the dir and ls/launch your file browser from shell (depending on preference), or if you really are just too awesome for a command line, after mounting it you could just open a file browser and navigate to the dir you mounted it in. The method where you stay in the command line is probably the fastest, though.

it probably just makes the reasonable assumption that your text editor is set to emacs, in which case preferring it to open directories would be the correct behavior

my car plays mp3s on a usb drive in directory order, not lexicographical order, so i always copy stuff to it with rsync since it sorts file and directory lists before copying to make sure e.g. track 2 comes after track 1 cp and most gui copy things copy in directory order

the car radio we used to use for camping music couldnt dial above 99, but you could still play the songs by hitting next or shuffling to them. a lot of times it would be quicker to jump around with shuffle on and listen for an artist that sorts close to the one you want
