Linux on Reddit

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on a small Linux project called Qrip. It’s a simple GUI that helps simplify a local audio workflow and makes it easier to manage a personal audio library without relying on the terminal. I mainly use it with my NAS + Jellyfin setup, and the goal is to keep things lightweight and easy to use. It’s still an early project, but it’s been useful for me so far. I recently reworked the project description to make things clearer and avoid confusion. If anyone here is doing something similar or has suggestions, I’d love to hear how you handle your setup.

also I can't for the life of me figure out why this is specifically anti fascist but hey all power to ya. it actually runs fairly well and the antiX faq is really cute. I'm like the widget that's pre built in. honestly this distro works better than I expected it to especially on such an ancient device. submitted by /u/ballman8866 [link] [comments]

*I don't know if such a script already exists, just sharing * Here is how the adaptive learning works: The script runs on a tiny 15-minute systemd timer and sets your screen brightness gracefully (progressing through 30-minute interval profiles). Right before it applies a scheduled change, it polls your Current Hardware Brightness. If it detects a divergence between what it thinks it previously set and what the hardware is currently at, it determines that you manually changed the brightness slider. It intercepts its own schedule, adopts your new preferred percentage, and uses sed to securely permanently rewrite its own configuration block for that active time period! submitted by /u/Madlonewolf [link] [comments]

I use this to easily copy files from my workstation out to a remote server. You need a public and private key arranged between you and your remote server for it to be completely smooth and seamless. The private key is what is in the: ~/.ssh/id_file In a file named sscp (or whatever you prefer) inside /usr/bin with execute permissions: #!/bin/bash scp -i ~/.ssh/id_file $1 user@domain.tld:${2:-$1} The way it works is in the terminal you write... sscp myfile ...and it immediately sends it without further ado to the login root on the site or... sscp myfile path ...and it send it to the specified path or... sscp myfile remotefile ...and it puts it in the root with the remotefile name or... sscp myfile path/remotefile ...and it puts it at the specified path with remotefile name And of course you can use a path with the input file as well: sscp path/myfile [all of the above examples] Because this uses the scp command, you should use man scp to see if there's anything you'd like to do differently, or to get more insight into the `scp` command's flexibility in copying single and multiple files. The most useful bit of esoterica in the script which probably deserves explanation is the use of... ${2:-$1} ...which means "if parameter $2 is not present, use parameter $1" submitted by /u/NYPizzaNoChar [link] [comments]

You guys maybe heard the new american law that requires operating systems to provide age verification API. Does my router that has an operating system and has a user account too needs to verify its age too? I have a smartridge too probably running an embedded linux kernel. submitted by /u/kivimango23 [link] [comments]

There are Linux Distros that allow you to rebuild the system yourself, thus allowing you to change literally whatever you want. Arch and Gentoo are great examples; in fact, they don't even come with a desktop environment by default. So how would it even work? Are these types of distros at risk of being banned? submitted by /u/awenixmusic [link] [comments]

Just wondering if I am just shit out of luck with this very specific situation or if there is some sort of solution to save keyboard configuration profiles that I am unaware. I only using English US layout, however, I am wondering if it's possible to have different keyboard configurations that are "hot swappable" (i.e. pre-configured and you can cycle through them) for things like swapping Ctrl Position (e.g. left ctrl and alt swapped) or changing some keyboard shortcuts? Maybe this is a weird edge case. What is happening is I use my computer for work, and for that, want a specific workflow including specific shortcuts and key positions. For games, however, the keyboard configuration I use for work sort of gets complicated. In some games the controls are configured based on the original position of keys and it breaks the above key position settings I create. So I must always go back and forth, removing, then re-adding the keyboard configuration settings in Linux Mint any time I open a game... Whenever I try to search for this online, I get mention of Keyboard Layouts which do no let me add another English US (only other languages or the English alt international). Some results are from 2017 (google is useless). Here is a very specific example that may paint a picture: Simply put, I prefer the Mac Keyboard layout in terms of thumb placement. They use COMMAND + [Key] for a lot of shortcuts and for my large hands, it is the most comfortable and efficient. So I am trying to emulate that in Linux Mint. In Linux Mint, I swap left ALT with left CTRL in the Linux Mint keyboard settings so that shortcuts like copy and paste use my left thumb via the left ALT instead of CTRL (e.g. copy = ALT + C). This setting, however, changes other system shortcuts (and various other configurations), such as window cycling, because now the system thinks I am pressing CTRL + TAB instead of ALT + TAB. So, in Linux Mint, I change the windows cycling shortcut to "CTRL + TAB" (physically, I am pressing the left ALT + TAB). I play Dota 2, and some of my shortcuts rely on the actual ALT key on the keyboard (left thumb placement). But...the system and game now think when I press left ALT, I am pressing left CTRL, and the keybindings don't work. You might think "just reconfigure the in-game controls by pressing the actual keys you want to bind" but the problem is, when I try to press something like "ALT + Q" for the configuration, it does not recognize the alt (presumably because Linux Mint is swapping ALT with CTRL). As I write this I am very much realizing this is probably just a situation that I need to get over and there may not be a solution. Either get used to new keybindings in dota, or use the default keyboard configuration that is similar to Windows. submitted by /u/excelllentquestion [link] [comments]

I have a microcomputer with only one usb port. No other ports whatsoever. I want to try and install Linux on it. Since there’s only one usb port that means I have to choose between install media and having a keyboard. Is there a way to modify the bootloader on the install media to load the whole image into ram so I can switch the usb for the keyboard? Or do I need like a splitter. submitted by /u/dme4bama [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, I wanted to announce that OCR4Linux is now available on the Arch Linux AUR repo and can be installed with the following command: yay -S ocr4linux-git For those who are not familiar with it, OCR4Linux is a simple CLI tool for Arch Linux that lets you select an area of your screen, extract the text from it using Tesseract OCR, and copy it straight to your clipboard. It supports both Wayland and X11 sessions and handles multiple languages. I built it because I could not find a Linux equivalent of the PowerToys application Text Extractor on Windows, so I made this one. Features: - Screenshot capture via grimblast (Wayland) or scrot (X11) - Multi-language OCR with interactive language selection via rofi - Clipboard integration via wl-clipboard/cliphist or xclip - Optional logging and screenshot retention You can find the source code and documentation here: https://github.com/moheladwy/OCR4Linux Feedback, bug reports, and contributions are welcome :) submitted by /u/M-Eladwy [link] [comments]

​I have been following the documentation gap on the Snapdragon X series, and it just got a lot worse for Linux users. ​Internal developers in the official Discord are now admitting that the platform is essentially a dead end for open-source. ​A recent GitHub issue (qualcomm/fastrpc/issues/193) was just closed with a definitive: "Closing the issue as there are no plans to open source DSP headers as of now." ​This means the NPU and DSP functions remain locked behind proprietary firmware with no path for native Linux integration. ​Compare this to Intel and AMD, who are already upstreaming NPU drivers for Linux. ​Qualcomm devs are openly saying that Macs have better Linux prospects than Windows on Snapdragon machines. ​They are calling the firmware "frozen," meaning we are stuck with whatever proprietary mess they shipped. ​If you care about an open ecosystem, stay away from the Snapdragon X1/X2 laptops. They are selling hardware while intentionally sabotaging the software freedom required to use it. submitted by /u/Putrid_Draft378 [link] [comments]

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/40954 Much of this goes over my head, so I'm hoping to hear some good explanations from people who know what they're talking about. But I do know that I want nothing to do with this. If I am ever asked to prove my age or identity to access a website or application, my answer will ALWAYS be "actually, I don't really need your site, so you can fuck right off". Sending any kind of signal with personal information that could be used to make user tracking easier is completely out of the question. So short of the nuclear option of removing systemd entirely, what are practical steps that can be taken to disable/block/bypass this? Is it as simple as disabling/masking a unit? Is there a use case for userdb I should know about before attempting this? Do I need to install a fork instead? Or maybe I'd be better off with a script that poisons age data by randomizing the stored age periodically? [edit] I wasn't going to comment on this but it looks like some people with a lot of followers are using this post as an example of censorship on Reddit. While I do think that's a legitimate concern on Reddit as a whole, I don't think censorship is what happened here. Yes, this post went down for a while. But as far as I can tell that was because it was automoderated due to a large number of reports, and was later restored (and pinned) by human moderators. submitted by /u/Quiet-Owl9220 [link] [comments]
