I know Null uses Arch, but what DE does he use? We must see Nulls Arch Rice. If I were to guess, he strikes me as an arch-KDE kind of guy. He's too fat and lazy to rice Linux like me.

I just use Plasma. I don't rice. I reformat my devices very frequently and just use defaults.

based plasma is very pretty have you had any major issues with running arch or did you just use an install script?

 

[Null]

I literally just run it out of the box as is.

Maybe the right place

If anyone fucks with streaming services for a living/for fun, NATS gives pretty much everything else a run for its money
* Multi-tenancy is ready to go
* Persistence creature features
* Snappy performance
* Lead maintainer is only a little bit of a jew
* Object store (takes care of chunking), kv store, queue
* Small binary
* Reasonable [douchebag vocabulary alert] intra-cluster replication
* Big extensibility potential

Thanks. The newpipe dev is a german faggot who doesn't like adding platforms that have "hate speech".

Only alt youtube app that has the best pip out of everything. I'm not really sure why other android fags like to limit the size of pip.

The one I wonder about is whether anyone ever bought WinRAR.

I always wondered that one too. I think I used the same cracked version of WinRAR for about 10 years so I never had to deal with the registration nags.

Also, you can't create RAR archives in 7-Zip.

I remember WinRAR being very useful for a while when I needed to split archives that were too big for a single DVD-R or to password lock stuff that gmail would otherwise scan and reject when I was working on programs with other people. It was a great program and I really should have thrown the author a few bucks in hindsight.

But now external HD storage is massive and cheap and I don't send shit through google anymore anyway. I install most of the available compression packages in the Debian repositories just for the Swiss Army knife effect but, I normally just use Xarchiver to unzip shit and File Roller (even though fuck GNOME) to compress because they both integrate nicely into my basic bitch DE.

Has anybody ever bought MakeMKV? I have. I was drunk and impulsive at the time, but I don't regret it. The license lasts forever and works on any device cross-platform.

Why would you want to do that anyway? The 7z format is great.

Some "people" might be retarded and only want to accept RARs. Tarballs and 7z archives (debatably even ZIP because it's not encumbered) are just better.

Hey Null, just wanted to let you know that Blank is the best color scheme for Plasma.

https://store.kde.org/p/1167071

It brings back grey windows as White Men intended. I fucking hate how light themes are eye burning and dark ones go in the opposite way too much..
You can download it via Settings application.

Also first post, so hello. I'm happy that you are a stubborn autist and the site is still working against all odds.

Uhm, that's not very l337 of you. Next you'll be saying that I should just name the textfile in a torrent with a normal human extension like '.txt' or '.1st' instead of '.nfo'.

Extensions? On text files? Text files aren't supposed to have extensions.

windows users smh

The Linux Gui likes extensions also

Sometimes, but most of the time it uses other heuristics like magic numbers. Determining the type of a file is actually quite a nasty process. Sometimes, the name of the file does things, such as a file named "COPYING" having a copyright icon. At least that's how it works on KDE.

Additionally, file associations for opening programs work on MIME types, and not extensions.

Thorium is a browser I've recently discovered which is an open-source fork of Chromium touted as "The fastest browser on Earth." It has support for numerous operating systems, including even Windows 7 of all things. It lacks the spyware and bloat of Chromium while managing to be quite a bit faster than other Chromium-based browsers and maintaining the optimizations present within Chrome.

It's a fairly new browser and lacks a bit in the developer department, but I've been trying it for awhile and it's been pretty solid so far.

Honestly, I exclusively use linux and still prefer to put an extension on plain text files.

Yeah file assocations are tricky. I remember Nokia's Symbian being prone to viruses because it completely ignored the file extension - you could be downloading something like "cutepug.gif" and when you open it all your company secrets get uploaded to your competition.

Nigger, do you seriously think that scanning the first few bytes of every single file in a directory to determine a magic number is a good idea? Like, there's a folder full of a few thousand .JPEG photos synced from your phone, you think that every single .JPEG needs to be checked to make sure that they do, indeed, look like JPEG files?

I'm sure that there's a bunch of special cases in KDE and that shitty alternative GUI for inferring MIME types when an extension is missing. But the sensible choice is just... having an extension. Or using a serious filesystem where the application responsible for 'owning' a file is stored in the resource fork.
