Why on earth would I want to use i3-gaps? Aren't tiling WM supposed to optimize window space?

>Aren't tiling WM supposed to optimize window space?

Yes, but the meta-game for ricing your desktop is to have gaps between tiled windows with pastel colors everywhere.

>>55784345

On the theme of i3, is there a way to get alternating colors when having open multiple tabs? When I have say 4 tabs they kind of blend because they're all the same color.

>>55784360
I like to use gaps with 1px borders.

It maximizes space while not having huge borders to differentiate between windows.

>>55784380

By tab color I mean the top bar that turns blue for the current active tab. I'd like inactive tabs to have a different color than their neighbour in the same container.

I have a bunch of huge gifs I want to convert to webm. What ffmpeg settings should I use to get the best quality?

>>55784426

-quality good -cpu-used 0

will give about the same quality as -quality best IIRC

>>55784345
If you have used a tiling wm without gaps for a while, you're thankful about some gaps that help you distinguish the windows. Additionally it feels less "claustrophobic".

4chan’s guide to converting GIF to WebM

Grab ffmpeg from https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html

It's a command line tool which means you will have to type things with your keyboard instead of clicking on buttons.

The most trivial operation would be converting gifs:

ffmpeg -i your_gif.gif -c:v libvpx -crf 12 -b:v 500K output.webm

-crf values can go from 4 to 63. Lower values mean better quality.
-b:v is the maximum allowed bitrate. Higher means better quality.

To convert a part of a video file:

ffmpeg -i your_video.mkv -ss 00:00:10.000 -to 00:00:20.000 -c:v libvpx -crf 4 -b:v 1500K -vf scale=640:-1 -an output.webm

-ss is the start position in number of seconds, or in hh:mm:ss[.xxx] format. You can get it using your video player (Ctrl-G in MPC-HC).
-to is the end position.
-vf scale=640:-1 sets the width to 640px. The height will be calculated automatically according to the aspect ratio of the input.
-an disables audio. 4chan will reject your files if they contain audio streams.

Another encoding guide: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/vpxEncodingGuide
ffmpeg documentation: https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html

Current limits for WebM files on 4chan are:

Maximum file size is 3072KB.
Maximum duration is 120 seconds.
Maximum resolution is 2048x2048 pixels.
No audio streams.

>>55784528
Actual limitations:

Current limits for WebM files on 4chan are:

Maximum file size is 4096KB.
Maximum duration is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
Maximum resolution is 2048x2048 pixels.
No audio streams except on /gif/ and /wsg/. (use -an)

Current limits for WebM files on 42chan are:

Maximum file size is 8192KB.
Maximum resolution is 10000x10000 pixels.
Audio streams permitted globally.

Reposting from last thread:
Getting real tired of running Nvidia proprietary drivers. It shits itself with every kernel update despite them doing DKM modules and it's frustrating since I have to switch to integrated graphics whenever it does i to reinstall. How's AMDGPU right now with the 4.7 kernel? I'm tempted to just ditch the 970 and sideupgrade to a RX480 when the stock stabilizes. I don't even mind installing AMDGPU PRO if I can get more performance. That's their main disadvantage, but if it can handle console emulation and some games at decent fps, then I might just do it.

what multifunction printer/scanners work out of the box? any recently released/widely available ones? what manufacturers of mfp are good about supporting loonux?

i have a brother right now. printing works out of the box using a similar but not same driver from cups, or i can download specific driver from brother. scanning requires me to download a brscan deb from brother and another deb if i don't want to manually fidget with udev permissions.

this is annoying but ok for me, but not workable for the nontechnical should i ever want to hand off a computer to someone. that or should i just install windows 10 and lock the admin account password away somewhere so they can't fuck their shit up?

if I use yaourt to install 2bwm how would I go about finding the source, editing the config.h, and recompiling?

Yes I want to use yaourt and not just clone and compile it so I can have packman recognise it as a package.

>>55785648
yaourt is trash, just use cower (or nothing) and build it yourself with makepkg. That way you have complete control.

Read the man page for makepkg to get the options for unpacking source without immediately building, etc. so you can edit before continuing the build process.

Stupid shit I don't want

Why do you think it's stupid, care to explain ?

>>55785745
Since snaps packages are isolated and distro independent, closed source devs may actually port their applications for Linux via snaps. So, yeah it's cool

The truth about Arch Linux:
https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2015-July/039443.html

>>55786354
Where do people get all these ideas about minimalism and shit?

The main draw of Arch is it's really easy to maintain since the packages are so streamlined.

>>55786440

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux#Simplicity

>>55786201
>>55785682
Cower just searches, checks for updates and downloads (all done manually) and you just makepkg it. It's better because you have more control. And yes, you can configure it first unlike yaourt that does it automatically.

>>55786063
They sometimes work after an update, but they didn't on the last update to 4.6.4.

>>55786509
Yeah, simple. I type pacman -S package and package gets installed and works because every optional feature is compiled so nothing will have a chance to be missing.

>>55786523
Like on every other distro.

>>55786266
>A snap is a fancy zip file containing an application together with its dependencies

Not only would that require you to reinstall copies of those dependencies over and over again, it also means that they would use those dependencies, not those on your system you can control.

Debian or Fedora for a laptop?

>>55786547
what is static linking

>>55786523
>pacman -S package
You're not supposed to do that, you're risking a partial update and system breakage.

>>55786564
Have you ever even used Arch before?

>>55786574
he's right
pacman -Syu firefox

>>55786523
>pacman -S
Why not a proper switch like -i or even more simple: apt-get install :)

>>55786564
>>55786583
Running -Sy then installing packages is a partial update. If you just -S then you're still getting the package versions of the last time you did an upgrade (unless you waited too long and the old versions were purged from the repo).

So I am now struggleling with
Debian vs Slackware

Is Slackware doable for a beginner? Is it a good chopice for a purely desktop every-day system, not a heavy programmer's rig?

Use debian. The flamewar doesn't apply to normal desktop use much so just stay out of it.

Arch and Gentoo aren't really that similar. Arch would be a solid choice too along with Debian, Fedora, (possible Ubuntu but that's more flamewars).

Jeez, 16.04 is such a mess. I've been hearing of nothing but problems with it. What happened to Ubuntu?

>he doesn't use the tabbed layout
>he feels the need to waste space

Hey /g/, I have Debian on my laptop and the touchscreen scrolling/zooming doesn't work on any build of Firefox that I've tried. When I attempt to use the touch scrolling, it registers it as if I were holding down on the mouse button and moving, so it just highlights text. The touchscreen features work fine on Chromium, so I know it isn't a problem with my laptop or distro.

I've googled this problem and none of the "solutions" work. I can't find any touch settings in about:config that work. Does anyone know how to change this so I can scroll using the touchscreen?

>>55789704
Just use chromium. It's better anyways.

Which is better for a beginniner; Ubuntu or Fedora?

How can I stop Runit (Void) from mounting / as rw? I already have both /etc/fstab and the kernel boot line telling it to mount as ro, but it still boots up with / mounted as rw.

What command can I use to compare the filenames in two folders to check for duplicates?

>>55784019
So I want to make an alias that does two things i.e runs two commands, how do I do this?

>>55790403
I found it, there was a line in /etc/runit/core-services/03-filesystems.sh that mounted / as rw.

>>55790745
Can you tell me the difference between rw and ro? Is rw bad? (I use rw)

>>55790783
low level bait

>>55790741
alias two='echo "one"; echo "two"'
Use && instead of ; if you want to run the second command only when the first didn't fail

Next to this, you don't want to use aliases; you want functions.

two() {
    echo "one"
    echo "two"
}

>>55790783
rw is very bad, because you can accidentally delete EVERYTHING if it's enabled!

>>55790811
I realized afterwards that ro is read only and felt stupid. I thought it was like, a safer mode and that rw was reckless or something.

>>55790741
like normal with an && between the two

>>55790842
woops yeah this guys better
>>55790815

What are some aliases I should setup, got one to ssh into my raspberry pi but other than that can't think of any

>>55790938
The usual suspects:

alias df='df -h'

alias du='du -hd 1'

alias cp='cp -vi'

alias mv='mv -vi'

alias rm='rm -vI'

alias mkdir='mkdir -vp'

alias rmdir='rmdir -v'

basically anything that's useful for you

 cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'model name'

It outputs 4 lines that are idenitcal, assuming that it shows this 4 times in the file. So, how do I make it only display 1 of those lines? Thank you.

>>55790938

alias cp='cp -i'
alias dirs='dirs -v'
alias grep='grep --color=auto'
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
alias mv='mv -i'
alias please='echo sudo $(history -p !!) && sudo $(history -p !!)'
alias priv='export HISTFILE=/dev/null'
alias rm='rm -I'

>>55791014
I like the CP and GREP overrides, but everything else is meh

>>55790938
alias a='alias'

>>55791014
im gonna go add those two good ones

>>55791014
alias ll='ls -al' even though i usually just type ls -al anyway since I can't remember if I've set the alias or not

>>55791086
yeah mostly agree
You don't want to expect a prompt before overwrite and then be totally boned

>>55791086
>I can't customize anything because I can't remember when I've customized things.

You never rely on the rm -I alias; it's only a contingency failsafe.

>>55791086
Why'd u delete, bro?
I liked that shit on facebook and hashtagged it on twitter

How can I add aliases that have spaces in it?
like "sudo apt install"="sudo apt update && sudo apt install"

How do you lads backup dotfiles and configs, thinking of making a private github repo is this a good idea?

>>55790938
sudo='sudo '
>>55791140
You can't.

>>55791012
Grep the file directly instead of greping the output of cat.

I don't know add

 | head -n1

to the end.

I'm not sure how to stop after the first find with GNU grep. It might be possible but I can't see anything on the man page. With perl

perl -nwl -e '/model name/ and print and close ARGV' /proc/cpuinfo

works.

>>55791145
I have one big private repo on github for pretty much everything I use regularly. Including my old projects from uni and CP. just kidding about the CP..... or am i

>>55791156
I literally have an alias like this though...

alias sai="sudo apt install"

>>55791164
I figured it out. Use -m 1 as an argument to grep.

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m 1 'model name'

>>55791202
does it work? Because I'm pretty sure there are multiple mistakes in that one

>>55791212
It works.

alias ll='ls -l'
alias la='ls -A'
alias lal='ls -Al'
alias sai='sudo apt install'
alias sau='sudo apt update'
alias saug='sudo apt upgrade'
alias sadu='sudo apt dist-upgrade'
alias sa='sudo apt'
alias todo='~/scripts/todo'

>>55791219
What happend to apt-get?

>>55791219
I'm not the guy who claimed it wouldn't work, but that is strange because I'm pretty sure I tried that before and it simply didn't. It's been a while though. Cool i might add a few new aliases. Although it is nice to remember that you're the superuser sometimes.

Little buzzed still please bear with me. Out of town for reasons not related to this post. Have been visiting a bar in the area for food/drinks in the evening. Relaxed vibe, shitty music, shitty service, wifi doesn't work. Have asked staff about wifi more than once. "Oh. it sometimes works I don't really know. Basically, it doesn't work." oookaaayyyy. Let's clarify. Can connect to access point without any problems. Can't ping out to external websites/ip's. Funky internal ip prefix: "172.27.*.*" Gateway is not on the ip you might normally think (.1, .2, .100, .254-255). if dumbass owner is too inept to figure out wifi, why the funky ip schema and DG ip? Poke around more and find the following ports in the following states on the DG:
53/tcp: open domain
9000/tcp: closed cslistener
9001/tcp: closed tor-orport
9002/tcp: closed dynamid
9004/tcp: closed unknown
10080/tcp: open unknown
51000/tcp: closed unknown

Here's where I'm feeling like Joey, and thinking maybe I've been watching too much Mr. Robot. All other ports filtered, so why are the following (particularly 9001) showing up in the closed state? My original intention/expectation was to find an non-secure config page and reboot the damn thing to get internet access. I'm no blackhat/whitehat/greyhat, just a tech enthusiast poking around. Thoughts? (Not a regular channer. Call me a faggot at will)
