Looks like a USB stick.

Superficial feedback but I can’t read more than 3 lines without syntax highlighting. Here I believe lines short for the text but makes code even harder to read due to new line. Maybe Codeberg allows for HTML embedding.

Now for a comment on the content itself, how is that different from aliases in ~/.bashrc? I personally have a bunch of commands that are basically wrapped or shortcuts around existing ones with my default parameters.

Finally, if the result is visual, like dmenu which I only use a bit in the PinePhone, then please start by sharing a screenshot of the result.

Anyway, thanks for sharing, always exciting to learn from others how they make THEIR systems theirs!

fclones https://github.com/pkolaczk/fclones looks great but I didn’t use it so can’t vouch for it.

FWIW just did a quick test with rmlint and I would definitely not trust an automated tool to remove on my filesystem, as a user. If it’s for a proper data filesystem, basically a database, sure, but otherwise there are plenty of legitimate duplication, e.g ./node_modules, so the risk of breaking things is relatively high. IMHO it’s better to learn why there are duplicates on case by case basis but again I don’t know your specific use case so maybe it’d fit.

PS: I imagine it’d be good for a content library, e.g ebooks, ROMs, movies, etc.

Neat ,wasn’t aware of it, thanks for sharing

if you use rmlint as others suggested here is how to check for path of dupes

jq -c '.[] | select(.type == "duplicate_file").path' rmlint.json

I don’t actually know but I bet that’s relatively costly so I would at least try to be mindful of efficiency, e.g

• use find to start only with large files, e.g > 1Gb (depends on your own threshold)
• look for a “cheap” way to find duplicates, e.g exact same size (far from perfect yet I bet is sufficient is most cases)

then after trying a couple of times

• find a “better” way to avoid duplicates, e.g SHA1 (quite expensive)
• lower the threshold to include more files, e.g >.1Gb

and possibly heuristics e.g

• directories where all filenames are identical, maybe based on locate/updatedb that is most likely already indexing your entire filesystems

Why do I suggest all this rather than a tool? Because I be a lot of decisions have to be manually made.

Edit: neat, it works! No BT though

Update : it works now! Just updated Danctnix and voila, WiFi networks detected and connected.

PS: no BT though

They say it works now already https://lemmy.ml/post/16943222/11704878 so updating at the moment.

See other comments, apparently WiFi is working now (I’m updating right now so can’t confirm) and I forgot but for drawing it’s just a touch screen, so it doesn’t support “fancy” pens with e.g pressure iirc.

Right I should clarify I used only the “cheap” kind of pen that does not include pressure, as if used their fingers but with a smaller rigid tip.

Regarding WiFi working, thanks for the update, any pointer on how to do that? Just updating the stock Danctnix?

It is, if you are not ready to tinker I do not recommend it.

Yet, it works as-is, assuming you don’t need to work wirelessly. I use it on a nearly daily basis and it’s stable.

Gaming? Fair point.

Unless it’s for games that use shitty anticheat solutions probably not a good reason anymore due to the SteamDeck, a LOT of games do work and it’s possible to check before hand via ProtonDB.

So it was a fair point 5 years ago, now most AAA games, including VR games, do work without tinkering.

PineTab 2 works but no WiFi or Bluetooth driver for now. Possible to add a USB dongle or USB-C to Ethernet to install missing apps though then work. Also not super powerful so even though I bet Blender3D works, doubt it’d be pleasant for heavy scenes.

As a shareholder (which I’m not), it’s absolutely amazing.

As a human being though… it’s simple to look at the history of the company, from its inception based on nepotism and locking-down was hitherto the common good, to going from one place of monopoly (OS, app, cloud) to another (extending to whatever is trendy at the moment e.g XR with HoloLens, AI with OpenAI, etc).

It’s IMHO one of the very worst thing that could have happened to humanity in terms of cognitive empowerment. Apple is not far behind but in terms of locking up an entire ecosystem but Microsoft, sadly, is doing it better.

To clarify what I mean is that Microsoft is the business embodiment of learned helplessness. Most people would shrug at the quality of software they provide, the price, etc ONLY because they are convinced, wrongfully so, that they are is no legitimate alternative. If users were actually able to chose, not being coerced into but properly chose, by experiencing alternatives, the World would be totally different. Instead of having computer users who feel an adversarial relationship to their devices, we would have a much stronger relation of “this is MY device” the same way a lot (not all) of people have a repair toolbox at home. They know they can try to fix something in THEIR home, even improve it. Most people understand it won’t be easy, they might mess it up, but it’s possible to try. Not in software, and that’s entirely Microsoft “success”. Maybe in an alternative reality others, like Apple, would have made that happen to, but in our reality I blame Microsoft, Bill Gates upbringing from his legal mindset father and well connected mother.

We could have a world were users own their devices, have a challenging yet empowering relationship to technology, starting with software, and instead we have exploitative learning helplnessness. So yes, Microsoft is that bad.

FWIW the “opposite”, namely Webseed, exists http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0019.html so… maybe some already do but it’s not even noticed because Wedseed of mirrors handle the load?

You can check my post history but I’m a dev who also play and had no problem with Linux for years. I don’t play emulation (which is cool, even have a RPi with arcade joystick) but modern games (Elden Ring, Baldur’s Gate 3, Ruiner, and some indies) including VR (Half-life: Alyx, Virtual virtual reality, Eye of the template, Cubism, etc) both on desktop and on the SteamDeck. Well it’s been few years and I can tell you the tinker to play ratio is easily 99.9% in favor of playing. I don’t tinker with drivers or anything of the sort (unless I have to work with CUDA, but still then no problem) but it’s true that before buying a game I check ProtonDB to insure it will actually work.

Now in terms of distribution I’m not sure it matters much, what I would though highly recommend is that you make few extra partitions, at least /home this way if you do decide to format (because you somehow broke the OS, want to hop distros, etc) then you will keep you data without having to copy anything on another drive or even slower through the network. It makes changing a breeze.

PS: IMHO as a dev do tinker as much as you need, it’s the best way to learn and see which distro is actually the best for you, just backup your data first then you can go “crazy”, enjoy it’s definitely worth it, even more so as a dev who can at any time say “Oh… that part sucks, I can change it”, it’s literally liberating.

I should clarify, the Quest does work on Linux for streaming if you use ALVR, one just has to tinker a bit. Apologies forgot about that solution.
