That is a good question. The fact that the GNU version of it is so bloated compared to Unix and BSD versions certainly makes it really suspicious. Who knows - maybe it sends content of your directories right to Richard Stallman's email client

Digilent WaveForms utility application. Version 0.1.1
Supports the following commands as application argument or listed in text file in separate lines. The assignment commands can also be used to print the current value.

 connect
    Automatically connect to the first available device.
 enum|enumerate
    Enumerate connected devices.
 connect=<index|name|SN> 
    Connect to the device by enumeration index, name or SN.
 disconnect
    Disconnect from device.
 info|information
    Print information about the device or selected instrument, channel.
 show
    Print configuration and reading of the device or selected instrument, channel.
 execute=<file>
    Executes the command file.
 reset
    Reset all the configurations to default values.
 pause=<s>
    Pause execution for specified seconds. Ex: pause=0.1, pause=100ms
 print=<text>
    Print the text on the output.
 datetime
    Print the date and time on the output.
 time
    Print the time on the output.
 debug=<level>
    Debug level: 0-disabled, 1-print input commands,
    2-API calls, 3-time after API execution
 watch=<sec>
    Watch timeout for play/record processes. Default is 10s, 0 disables it.

.....blah blah blah.....

Examples:
    dwfcmd enum
    dwfcmd connect digitalio oe=0x0F out=0x0A pause=10ms in
    dwfcmd sample1.txt
    Set range and print the actual obtained range:
    dwfcmd connect analogio channel=1 range=5V range

maybe that's not it.

Usage: cat [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Concatenate FILE(s), or standard input, to standard output.

  -A, --show-all           equivalent to -vET
  -b, --number-nonblank    number nonempty output lines, overrides -n
  -e                       equivalent to -vE
  -E, --show-ends          display $ at end of each line
  -n, --number             number all output lines
  -s, --squeeze-blank      suppress repeated empty output lines
  -t                       equivalent to -vT
  -T, --show-tabs          display TAB characters as ^I
  -u                       (ignored)
  -v, --show-nonprinting   use ^ and M- notation, except for LFD and TAB
      --help     display this help and exit
      --version  output version information and exit

With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

Examples:
  cat f - g  Output f's contents, then standard input, then g's contents.

Complete noob here.
I am having trouble getting Debian to run in 1920x1080. xrandr does not list any widescreen resolutions as an option and I suspect the default driver of Debian is insufficient and I don't know the name of the driver i should install, and I also don't know whether installing drivers can be done with apt-get.
Can't seem to find any answers online that I can understand, a reply would be much appreciated.

>>60003931
What desktop environment?

>>60003931
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xrandr#Adding_undetected_resolutions

>>60003953
Shouldn't matter. I'm trying to get Debian as a whole to run in 1920x1080. As far as I know, no one's resolution changes merely because they log in with a different DE.

But if you honestly think that information matters, the two DEs I have are Gnome and i3, and both give the same list of resolutions with xrandr as I expected, so do what you will.

>>60003931
driver has nothing to do with your resolution

xrandr detects a set of standard resolutions, but basically you can set your resolution to whatever you like, you just add a new one and load it

Most distros come with a built-in antivirus that you can run at any point from root.

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda

this scans your hard drive for signs of viruses by comparing it to the urandom virus database (updates automatically every 24 hours).

It takes a few hours to run, though.

>>60004502
Muh Unix philosophy (do one thang and one thang only, and do it well)

Also despite being open-source it's really obtuse and complicated code that is difficult to audit effectively.

Also people don't like Lennart Poettering and Red Hat forcing systemd on them.

Functionally, though, Systemd is great. It simplifies a lot of things. If you don't like it, there's Devuan, Funtoo, and probably a few other distros out there that don't use it at all.

>>60004502

>>60004885
The ordinary understanding of "operating system" includes both the kernel—the specific subsystem that directly interfaces with the hardware — and the "userland" software that is employed by the user and by application software to control the computer.

Moreover, both the name "GNU" and the name "Linux" are intentionally related to the name "Unix", and Unix has always conceptually included the C library and userland tools as well as the kernel.

>>60004891
every time GNU is mentioned I just think "man, Richie "The Stall Man" Stallman sure does get triggered when he doesn't get credit for things. maybe if he had made GNU proprietary he'd have more say in the matter. HMMMMM

>>60005190
rms isn't out for credit, he's out for your freedom
that's why theres no point in developing hurd when there's a way to run a completly free os with linux (linux-libre)

>>60005196
Linus and a handful of his friends on the internet started it back in 1992. There wouldn't be a kernel for RedHat, Google, Microsoft, etc. to work at all without him.

>>60005196
Linux fucking sucks. The only reason anyone uses it is because it's the kernel that's best suited for use with GNU, and that's only because it was the first finished kernel to be released under the GNU GPL which resulted in it receiving the most GNU-centric development. Monolithic kernels were outdated in 1991 and they're still outdated today; if Andy Tannenbaum hadn't been a fool with his licensing we'd all be using GNU/Minix today and we'd all be a lot better off for it. Linux is also the only popular unix-like kernel that doesn't support a form of virtualization like Solaris zones or BSD jails.

GNU, on the other hand, is great. It's objectively the best unix-like standard available. Stallman's epiphany that it was no longer the fucking 60s and subsequent abandonment of the original unix design philosophy made GNU the most feature-packed and functional unix-like standard ever, which is why it's so much more popular than permissive-licensed standards like BSD even in the commercial world in spite of the fact that permissive licenses would grant corporations more of the control they desire.

All Linux does is hold GNU back, and the only reason at this point why anyone is still using Linux with GNU is because muh drivers. Literally any other kernel with the same level of hardware compatability would be a million times better than Linux for use with GNU. In an ideal world we'd probably be using something more like GNU/L4, but even GNU/kFreeBSD would be better than GNU/Linux. The fact that Linus tries to sneakily imply that the GNU standard is just a part of his own "Linux" operating system is fucking pathetic.

systemct1 lmao --at "ur life"

What is a lighweight DE where i can smash a window on a side and that window will become half screen big, this is so basic

>>60005667
First off, systemd is not an init system, it has an init system as part of the systemd suite. systemd is a project to build a standardised lowlevel userland for Linux. The project is pretty comprehensive and it delivers a lot of functionality under one umbrella. It does away with a lot of older, often undermaintained software packages, which were traditionally used to assemble a low level userland.

Which is where the contention comes from, as a system suite systemd is restrictive for Unix virtuosi who are used to tailor a system with wit, ingenuity, a lick and a prayer and a couple dozen of unrelated packages. systemd makes such knowledge useless.

The faction that thinks that systemd is Linux's Hiroshima, finds all the added functionality bloat, unnecessary and dangerous, as it is all under development in one project.

All the systemd jokes stem from the comprehensiveness as a low level system suite. People against it love to joke that one day systemd will write its own kernel.

There is a lot of FUD and hate going around. Some arguments do have merit, a lot of eggs in one basket is certainly true, but as with all things in life, it depends which tradeoff you prefer. Do you want a suite of well designed software, working closely together, so that system management is streamlined or do you want the complete freedom to tailor your own low level system with a lot of time tested, interchangeable components.

I have no desire to be a low level system designer, so I prefer systemd. I don't hate traditional init systems though. If a Linux system has one and I need to work with it, I'm still happy it boots and starts the necessary services.

Hi, /fglt/, noob question.
I trying replace some data in certain strings using bash. An example, i have a conf-file with
>path="my/old/path/my_file.txt"
>somethingelse="blablabla"
inside.
I need find path-string and replace it value by new path. I tried it using sed so:
>sed -e 's/^path=".*"$/new_path/g' config/test
but it doesn't works. What do i wrong?

>>60006163

$ echo 'path="my/old/path/my_file.txt"' | sed 's/"\(.*\)"/"somethingelse"/' 
path="somethingelse

>>60008084

what
arch has special font rendering?

>>60008233
From what I've read it seems to be the opposite, it has shit tier font rendering because you're supposed to install all the packages yourself whereas other distros tend to have it already set up in a pleasing to look at way.

>>60008084

you mean configure. I know you arent such a retard installing is work.
anyways, just copy ubuntus font configs if you like them, or whatever distro you're talking about

>>60008837
The Arch philosophy is to keep things simple as in easy.
>bloated kernel
>bloated packages

Furthermore, using Arch is about beeing one of the cool guys, so you install what the other cool guys use: zsh, infinality, neofetch, i3, and all that and then you come to /fglt/ and ask why

zsh: command not found: screenfetch

>>60008888

Post your fontconfig and screenshot that proves it's superiority over infinality.
>isn't the arch philosophy to keep things simple?
It was never simple nor minimal.

So how the fuck do you set a regular scheduled job on void/runit?

I don't appear to have a crontab at all. Is that normal? What do?

I've been searching all over and still can't find any sort of coherent answers anywhere

In the last thread i asked how to clear the terminal in a way that completely deletes everything, someone said to use "reset" but it's not working everywhere, on debian i can still press shift + pag. up and see the things i typed before, any ideas??

>>60009401
Leave my laptop unattended and be sure that nobody will scroll up seeing what i did before. Nobody is competent enough to go look for the bash history, but they may press page up. Logging off and logging in again takes a lot of time

>>60009506
>Leave my laptop unattended

You'll want to edit your readline/bash key bindings. I think it is a file in home called .inputrc or something.
You can look up the codes for arrow keys by using

Ubuntu is a Linux distribution and it cannot be Windows like, at all.
You seem to be an idiot who thinks that a desktop environment equals a distribution. That's acceptable, but not when someone is a smug and stuck up idiot like you.
Have fun on your retarded adventures with any distribution.

What image viewer do you use?
I'm currently using Viewnoir, and i find it lacking.

Server, does not need much space. I use USB flash drives as main storage, if NSA is knocking on my door...

1. switch to faster boot disk (obviously)
2. use systemd
3. reduce number of services loaded during boot, consider moving some stuff into user services if applicable
4. change non-critical mounts so they are auto-mounted upon first access, rather than letting them hold up boot
