I’d recommend learning/using systemd timers instead (well, if you are on inux and your distro uses systems)

I guess I’ll worry about this in 2 weeks then
ebay, ebay, ebay (and also pcpartpicker).
Unless you want to frag people at 4k@140Hz in the latest AAA game, you probably don’t need the latest generation components (and I’d say your requirement are quite low here, consider how the only thing you complain about is storage space).
Unless you really want to assemble everything by yourself, consider buying one of the second-hand, previous-gen gaming rigs on ebay (but watch out for scams!). Even if you do want to assemble the PC yourself, consider buying used parts on ebay (or buying a full PC to cannibalize reselling the excess).
What are the specs of your current rig? Except for storage, are you satisfied with how it runs? How much storage do you need for the projects you are working on? How much to archive things? Do you want to do anything about backups? Is a full size tower ok? How good a video do you want? What is your budget?
Well… I’d rather say It’s the only reason why we still care about Mozilla and put up with their crap :)
The problem with Chinese EVs is that they show it’s possible to innovate, keep prices down, and mass produce.
It’s not only possible, it’s easy: you just need terrible labor and environmental standards, poor welfare, cheap access to raw materials, and tons of state subsidies :)
It’s interesting to note that “we” knew all along it would end like this but just couldn’t resist moving/outsourcing production to China nor investing in China’s fast-growing economy.
“We” were chasing short-term profits and China was playing the long game. Apparently, both parties won, each at their own game.
Stop making $70K SUVs and start making $20K Taurus and Escort EVs. You did it once. You can do it again.
The cost of batteries is (relatively) higher for cheap vehicles, so that’s the segment where it makes the most difference.
I took notes for the benefit of anyone who doesn’t like their info in video form.
I love you.
But it has no ads
Reading https://codeberg.org/river/river/src/branch/master/protocol/river-layout-v3.xml it seems to me that what I want to do is actually not possible in river, even writing a custom layout manager…
IIUC the protocol works like this: river asks “how should I layout N windows in HxW screen?” and the layout replies “window1: H1xW1 at offset X1,Y1; window2: H2xW2 …”, so there is no way for the layout manager to identify specific windows and, in my use case, put all the text editors on the left side of the screen etc.
Did you have some other approach in mind when you suggested river? (I may very well be over-complicating things and not seeing a more straightforward solution)
That, or git log --graph --pretty=oneline
(IDK why people seem to be willing to recommend using anything in order to learn git, with the exception of git itself)
TBH I really liked the idea behind river, but does it have tabs? Also… I would need to write my own custom layout, wouldn’t I?
BTW: are there other WMs that are modular like river?
Sorry to be a bother, but… how do I tell hyprland I want a window to be added to a specific group?
I was thinking of something like:
windowrulev2 = tag texteditor, class:(myfirsteditor)
windowrulev2 = tag texteditor, class:(mysecondeditor)
windowrulev2 = group XXX, tag:texteditor
but I can’t find what I should write instead of group XXX
to tell hyprland/hy3 that I want the window to be added to a group on the left-side of workspace 1…
I would also be fine with some rule that could be added to exec
or probably even some dispatcher, but I can’t find anything that allows to target (or define) a specific group.
Am I pursuing this from the wrong direction?
Philosophy aside, the practical issue with your terminal emulator having to support your shell is… that one does not use just one shell: what happens whenever you start a repl or an whatever program that has interactive sessions (say, for example, psql or parted)?
tightly integrated shell and terminal emulator support. There are just things you cannot do with these being separate things.
I can’t think of any, but I’m not the most creative person… what do you have in mind?
Having something that is like (say) tmux+fish could make sense, but only if it’s something that outweighs the lost flexibility of being able to combine <whatever shell you like> + <whatever terminal multiplexer you fancy>.
Might I add the idea that your terminal emulator must support your shell is utterly ridiculous?

https://docs.warp.dev/getting-started/using-warp-with-shells
Also Wave might be FOSS but if you look at the footer in their website it says it’s backed by venture capital… how would you estimate the chances it gets closed, paywalled or otherwise enshittified?
That’s not something a terminal emulator should do - it’s a feature that belongs in your shell :)
Why did they call them ‘gold’ and ‘silver pro’?
I hate them (seriously).
It’s basically a second distro inside your distro (try du -chs /var/lib/flatpak/
) and if something breaks (eg. last year mesa with my graphics card) it isn’t easy to identify were the problem is (because all libs update at the same time), plus you can’t just try a newer (or older) version of some lib as you would in your distro.
Moreover, you can’t flatpak CLI tools (also servers and OS components, but I guess the ubuntu folks are the only ones who care about those).
only dangerous for around 500 years
That “only” is just ridiculous :)
Just try to imagine the history of a nuclear waste storage site from the 1500s… how many budget cuts would have it seen? how much buck-passing when it changed hands as a result of war of revolution? how many times would it have been bombed? (and it’s not like we’ve had bombing for a very long time).
We are just not responsible enough to play around with nuclear. Hell, we are showing we are even not responsible enough for hydrocarbons.
(yes, I do know some amount of nuclear waste, from medical applications etc., is definitely worth it and unavoidable - let’s just keep it to a minimum)
AFAIK a sunken reactor is not as big of a threat to life as a one (marine or land-based) that releases nuclear material in the atmosphere, so the biggest issue should be what may happen before the reactor sinks.
Anyway IMHO the biggest issue with nuclear is not its safety, but rather that, even when it operates without the slightest of incidents, it produces waste that needs to be kept “safe” for periods of time that exceed the age of most nation states (let alone private companies).
You can use
OnFailure
in your.service
file if you want some thing to happen when that specific service fails, but I don’t know if there’s a blanket way to tell systemd to notify via email when any failure happens (I wouldn’t mind a desktop notification… will investigate)
