Any naming convention is fine as long as it’s meaningful to you. But it’s a good idea to keep your own repos separate from the random ones you clone from the internet.

What I see is an inexperienced developer who instead of systematically debugging the issue keeps trying random stuff hoping that it will somehow work.

If you have an email workflow that you like then something like rss2email might be an option. You simply feed your incoming rss into your email. You’ll want to auto-tag (or otherwise organize) these emails to keep them separate from regular emails. Then you use your usual email tools to organize them further.

I’ve been using such a setup for the past 15 years.

Costs a lot less than therapy too.

How visible is this to the average user? Just wondering because I have yet to see any spam at all in my Mastodon feeds. Big thanks to the admins for being on top of it!

If you care about privacy, which I understand, you probably want to leave quickly.

Just because you care about privacy it doesn’t mean that you have to stay indoors all the time. You can still hang around on the town square you just have to be conscious about what you do where.

A big part of caring about privacy is understanding how the platforms you use work and using them accordingly. With proprietary platforms this is often opaque and the rules can change. Open platforms are transparent and you can actually understand them - if you make the effort.

gotosocial might we worth checking out. It provides Mastodon-compatible APIs (so you can run Mastodon clients and UIs against it) but it’s less resource hungry and easier to deploy (in my experience). The caveat is that it’s less mature.

Subscribe to a post: just mention the bot in the comments.

Not a huge fan of the noise this adds to the threads. Would be nice if Lemmy frontends could provide better ways to interact with bots. For example custom buttons that would PM the bot with the appropriate message to trigger the action.

Autotype is already solved - ydotool, wtype and dotool exists (and possibly others as well).

These tools work by creating a virtual keyboard so they don’t let you send input to a specific window. The input goes to whatever happens to be focused at the moment. This makes them less reliable than the X11 equivalents and unusable for tasks where you need to guarantee that the right window gets the input.

Those of us who use the autocd feature of shells “execute” directories all the time. For example I’d type just /usr/bin RET if I wanted to cd to /usr/bin.

There are already almost a hundred extension protocols and you need dozens of them to implement just barebones desktop functionality. If you look under the surface the Wayland ecosystem is arguably already more complex than X11 ever was and it’s only going to get worse.

There is a fairly compact Thinkpad USB keyboard which would be much easier to connect if you can make it fit somehow. It has the trackpoint but no trackpad.

Yeah, I ended up doing something similar but using my own Dockerfile where I specified ebook-convert as the entry point.

Yep, I realized that as soon as I posted and tried to ninja-delete but too late :)

If I sum up the numbers from March 2022 it’s 26% AMD and 38% NVIDIA.

I would like the ability to do a CLI-only build since I only really use the ebook-convert command. Never felt the need to “manage” my ebooks.

Small bug: changing the sort-order loses the filter settings.

But looks great overall! I’ve already rediscovered some of my older favorites and looking forward to finding new stuff too.

Also, any chance of making the filtered/sorted list downloadable as a CSV? In some cases this would be more convenient than paging through the web UI.

Gentoo is great if you know how you want things to work and know Linux well enough to make it happen. Gentoo gives you flexibility, transparency and great tooling to help you get there.

It’s a very useful tool too, I use it semi-regularly. Besides being RPN it’s also arbitrary precision so for example 2 10000 ^ p gives the right result.

I am sorry but this is just completely wrong. Look at the live feed of mastodon.social which will give you an actual sampling of what people talk about and tell me how many Linux related comments do you see among the first 100 or so. I got 2 on my first try and 0 on the second.

I happen to be a long time Linux user but I don’t seek out Linux stuff on Mastodon. My feed is mostly boardgame related stuff which is what I am here for and what I follow. There is no algorithm so what you get entirely depends on what you follow.
