tbh i prefer to compile my window manager from source and spend hours reading through a "self-describing" config file.

wait people don't compile everything from source?

i want something that does what slate does on osx -- just a set of keybindings for arranging your windows into tiles that works over your existing WM.

Does gnome have anything like that?

I'm pretty sure xmonad can do that

macbooks are almost* the perfect linux laptop

*the exception is the lovely broadcom wireless. but that sucks equally bad under osx. it's more of a general lol apple problem than a linux problem

There are a few more problems than that but the cool part is there are only a handful of models each year so there are a ton of workarounds to everything.

All linux desktop environments are trash for the most part. All you really need is some no frills window manager to throw up some terminals and poo poo. Xfce usually does it but I've been thinking of trying one of those tiling ones with free float mode to take it even further or maybe I'll throw xmonad on top of xfce.

Also do all the major desktop environments still have gradients, bubbles, and big fades?

edit:
seems transmission wasn't deleting files that I said to delete. This should be a fun cleanup....

b-b-but systemd is the debil

# ¿ Oct 27, 2015 21:02

b0red: Apr 3, 2013

systemd flies in the face of the Unix philosophy: "do one thing and do it well," representing a complex collection of dozens of tightly coupled binaries. Its responsibilities grossly exceed that of an init system, as it goes on to handle power management, device management, mount points, cron, disk encryption, socket API/inetd, syslog, network configuration, login/session management, readahead, GPT partition discovery, container registration, hostname/locale/time management, mDNS/DNS-SD, the Linux console and other things all wrapped into one. The agenda for systemd to be an ever-growing and invasive middleware for GNU/Linux was elucidated in a 2014 GNOME Asia talk. Keep it simple, stupid.

So is it possible to extend my LVM /home partition to a second drive or should I just move my /home to the second drive. Is the first thing possible either way

# ¿ Nov 12, 2015 19:54

b0red: Apr 3, 2013

Interesting to know, and I'd probably do this for real if it wasn't for the fact that I'd be extending a 40Gb partion on a SSD into a 2tb drive. lol thanks for the info though guys, i'll just use pvcreate and add the new ting to the lvm blah blah.

i'm assuming doing it is a bad idea because data can get spread between the drives and if you lose the lvm stuff than your boned

like windows 10 even manages to have two different control panel apps with different behaviours and different things you can change in each, finally catching up with how bad Linux was like 15 years ago

lmao connecting to wifi has also become Linux level bad. the wifi selector won't even open half the time and the only fix is a restart or cmd magic. feels good. this is with wpa2 enterprise networks btw

i'm starting to really like xmonad. poo poo just works which is p nice. plus i can take netflix to fullscreen, than fullscreen the actual video and resize it in xmonad and it retains the fullscreen.

other weird tidbit. been doing some ajax/jquery/python poo poo and i get a 500 internal server error when POSTing my data file to python on my linux box but poo poo just werks on when i'm on my mac which is all homebrew'd out. probably some permissions poo poo, idk. i'll figure it out tomorrow. something something xhr something something. it's uses werkzeug/flask so maybe pip hosed everything up

redid my debian minimal build and with xmonad + thunar my external hdd mounted and unmounted perfectly. 2016 truly is the year. so far everything has just werk'd besides trying to get urxvt working how i want but that's it's own nutshell

Everyone be sayin you need some patched urxvt or some poo poo but they're all on arch and gently caress this poo poo on debian.

code:

what's a good terminal emulator that will do fonts, 256color, etc and not be lame like urxvt

wow such driver, many game!!

after several years of using lunix (mint and ubuntu, the most accessible and well supported things apparently) on my poo poo, I am building a workstation and going to put Windoze on it.

because there is no good music player for linux. none. really.

let's go over the list:

clementine: quite polished looking, actually! supports streaming from tons of places! well, in theory anyway. many of the Features don't work, including many streams, music player support, shortcut keys. has no way to browse albums. replaygain usually works.

rhythmbox: love the interface. unfortunately replaygain is garbage. crashes at random. sometimes impossible to close without using terminal. made three copies of every song in my library that i tried to move to my ipod.

banshee: somehow corrupted a bunch of music. HOW??? I JUST WANT YOU TO PLAY IT. ugh

all of em suffer from random crashes, being impossible to close, trying to do everything poorly instead of a few things well. none of them are able to do global shortcuts properly (I like to use my numpad to play/pause/skip)

there's also Deadbeef which is modeled on foobar2000. its kinda dead, and only hosted on sourceforge, but I'm gonna give it a shot (foreshadowing intensifies)

anyway thats my bitchpost thanks for reading

EDIT: almost forgot the libreoffice bug where the application will crash, delete your document AND the backup copy, and this is somehow just a 'known bug, happens sometimes'. amazing. in the year of our potato 2016.

cmus really is simple to use and in pretty much every major distro's repos. I know it's a terminal program but it gets the job done and i've never had it crash. all linux is usually poo poo outside of the browser/terminal.

that is awesome. do you know what kind of computers they use? the productivity loss of a unstable computer is so much greater than the cost of a new computer, imo.

i wonder how much productivity is lost every time a dev tries to learn emacs or vim and attempts to extend it to be more like an ide

should probably backup my dotfiles now that I think about it

but seriously i can't really conceive of how people write something spread across a few modules and still remember what each method/object etc accept as parameters and their return types. i know people must do it and i pretty regularly write (and screw up) python stuff in text editors but java seems like it would be some next level frustration.

how do you keep track of a lot of stuff on a regular editor?
