I believe FileLight (in OP above) is a fork of or built on top of QDirstat.

Ncdu is my go-to tool. Can’t live without it on the servers I administer. However from this thread I’ve also learned about gdu, diskonaut and du-dust that I need to check out.

I like Strawberry, for two reasons:

• It was the first player I found that supported playing directly to a pipewire sink, without going through the Pulseaudio compatibility layer.

• It can stream hi res FLAC files from Tidal.

The whole company is just the one guy. He obviously has mental health issues.

I first tried a version of red hat that I got from a CD on the cover of a PC magazine back in 1999. I was barely a teenager, didn’t know what I was doing, ended up hating it. Then a couple years later I read about Mandrake, again got it from a CD on the front of a magazine. I used it for about a year before hopping to Slackware.

Mandriva is the new kid on the block. Real classic Linux users will remember Mandrake.

My city started doing a similar thing. Their contracted recycling plants started rejecting the truck loads because they were seeing less than 40% recyclable content in the trucks. Lots of people overestimate how much of their trash is recyclable, and over-utilize the recycling bin.

Apparently the recycling plants will accept as low as 50% recyclable content in the load, anything under that for a prolonged period, they start rejecting the loads.

So for a year our city was just taking the recycling bin loads to the landfill. Years ago most cities could just sell it directly to China, ship it over on enormous garbage boats, but even China has stopped accepting our nonsense.

Our city had to do a big re-education campaign, and send out new stickers for the bin lids, to get residents to put only recyclable things in the recycle bins.

That’s the same one I got.

(dimming my bedroom lights)

Thats terrifying. Your desk outlet should not share a circuit with your bedroom lighting circuit, that makes no sense (unless you’re talking about a desk lamp).

And regardless, if a 700W load can make your lights dim, then there’s a major wiring issue in your house. Don’t plug in an electric cooker, kettle, or space heater until you get that checked out.

If I’m reading that correctly, that shows the system is drawing around 100W just sitting idle.

Something is not right there.

Either the power meter is way out of calibration, or there is a configuration issue with your PC. Maybe you have a performance setting that is causing the CPU and GPU to not idle down ever? Or a rogue antivirus software that is cranking the CPU constantly?

Are there any spinning disk hard drives in your PC? They can sometimes use around 5W each on idle. That was the biggest cause of idle power consumption on my old xeon server, with 8 HDDs.

PSU choice can also affect it. Eg, if you buy into marketing and buy a monster 850W PSU, but it’s idle all the time and only uses 450W under load, then the PSU is spending the whole time outside it’s efficiency curve, and can end up causing more power draw than expected.

That’s a lot of different distros in one week. How do you give each one enough time to evaluate it before you choose to move to another?

I use Codeberg and even paid to be a member, because it goes directly to support the development of forgejo.

I need to move my mishmash of hard drives, fans, cables, and NUC into a proper NAS box, with a proper power supply and a mini itx motherboard.

Same. That’s why I stick with zsh, even though I know Fish has better features, and I would really like to learn fish. I log into many different VMs every day, they all use Bash, some also have zsh. None of them have Fish.

Yes

Wezterm has tabs.

For anyone wondering, for a native English speaker, it’s pronounced like “for-jay-yo”.

It’s officially “for-jay-yo”.

As someone who only occasionally uses Discord, I honestly didn’t even know they had a desktop version of their app. I’ve always used it in the browser. Why do they even have a desktop version of their webapp?

Toml is superior to all.
