Why use tmux?? Anonymous 11/09/2024 (Sat) 16:14:12 No. 914 [Reply]
Why should I use tmux over the tiling and tabbing features of my window manager or those already built into many terminals?

>>997 abduco is nice, I use a4[1] instead of dvtm because it's lighter and I find the UI a it more pleasing. Also, it actually seems to handle text wrapping better than dvtm. [1] https://github.com/rpmohn/a4
>>
i don't use tmux as i am a gnu screen loser but some pros are - using it on a vps. i just reattach the screen instance and all of my work is still there. - have one terminal window over several - i like to do work in the tty as less power usage and distractions - screen + emacs -nw is a nice combo - i use xterm
>>
>>1003 1.why do you use an old ass terminal 2.emacs can have multiple windows and buffers even in the terminal it doesn't need screen or tmux 3.there are terminals that support tabs and split screen (kitty)
>>
>>1162 >>914 when you rely on a terminal emulator to multiplex terminals for you, you are doing just that: relying on the terminal EMULATOR itself programs like tmux and zellij function via software that interacts with the terminal itself, they don't need the external terminal emulator to manage that for them fundamentally more simple, powerful, and portable
>>
>>1169 >Abstracting out the terminal's protocol to a library >Or using an already existing GUI framework (such as godot) Terminal emulators are superior, stop it with the autism. If you were as autistic as you think you'd say writing to COMI ports is the GLOBAL interface, virtually all motherboards support that shit

mp3 player Anonymous 09/08/2024 (Sun) 09:34:25 No. 742 [Reply] [Last]
I want to buy an mp3 player but I don't know which one is the best, so I'm asking you to help me choose one, please. I found this: https://www.amazon.fr/AGPTEK-Bluetooth-Enregistreur-Supporter-T%C3%A9l%C3%A9phone/dp/B0CKV9HDP2/ but I don't know if its true or false. xhat do you think of it?

>>742 No idea what mp3 player is best (probably a refurbished iPod or something not gonna lie), but I've been using a Ruizu X02 with an sd card (up to 128gb, I tested it) for a while and it's great, and supports .wavs and other things like that. Hasn't failed me yet and honestly a great device imho. I don't use bluetooth so I'm not sure if it works well, my sister has one and got hers to work but I'm not sure if it's any good since she mostly just streams music now. Battery life seems good to me but I've never really measured it. Whatever you do, DO NOT buy a Retekess V115 - It's audio quality is great for mp3s (although it's clunky), but the thing complete died after about 7 months - and no, it wasn't the battery, I tried a different one. Whole thing just fried itself. Also, the shortwave reception is garbage.
>>
>>1027 Quick note: UI isn't the best, but I got used to it pretty quick. Also there is an update for the UI you can download somewhere but I've never used it. Also, if you make a playlist directly on the device, it can only have 100 songs, which is kind of a bummer (it only lets you make 3 on the device but I think there's a way to sideload more, but I've never done it).

>>742 Any mp3 player that has internet and bluetooth so i can listen music from navidrome? (oh fuck i forgot i need wireguard too)

What's the best SD card for a RasPi 5?
>>
>>718 Sandisk is what I use. Use a micro SD card with at least 8GB, maybe even 16GB storage space to avoid it bricking itself after a year due to not being able to allocate bad sectors.
>>
>>12 my Pi 4 sits next to my desktop and plays downloaded Youtube videos and music it also does a handful of LAN web things like running a few local instances of some web applications (in particular, poti-board for oekaki!) and SMB and the lot it's very useful having another computer next to your actual computer, although I do want a Pi 5 since doing web browsing anything is unbearably slow (although I don't expect a major performance bump) >>718 using an SD card with a Pi is probably a bad idea if your use case can boot from USB running over a cheap SSD over USB with a SATA-USB cable has been way, way, way better, just head and shoulders faster if you do need an SD for your specific use case, prioritize speed and then size a too slow SD card on a Pi 4 or 5 will cause extremely painful UI stalls, found that out when moving my old Pi 2 card to a 4 and although technically everything was faster when you measured the times, the UI was vastly less responsive while a too small one will absolutely brick itself since you need some buffer space to spread out writes, and a boot drive will absolutely be hammered by regular writes

>>1085 how bad my privacy is on windows now? I already don't have the schizo level of privacy, but I still try to use things like ungoogled chromium. I disabled all the telemetry, deleted edge and copilot etc.
>>
>>1087 >how bad my privacy is on windows now? Not bad really, only it would take them exactly one click to enter your system because all mass market proprietary software is backdoored, and the backdoors are coordinated by you know what government. I'm not sure linux in a panacea but it seems since linux is used exclusively in privacy conscious scenarios, it is more expensive to enter a linux machine. Though if you use your usual systemd with gnome/kde, you don't win much, since all of them are designed as malware as well. If you think open source cannot be openly malware you're dead wrong. Simply make unnecessarily complex and over engineered """solution""" and call your backdoors """"zero day RCEs"""" and chill. Since moving away from systemd is not possible and since it seems Linus is going to be deposed in upcoming years, I doubt you win anything by switching to linux. I'll probably keep some kernel tarballs just in case, but I think software freedom is doomed and unless something happens with the world, we will not be able to own our own system anymore.

>moving away from systemd is not possible Though if somebody replaces elogind and udev in a functional manner and presents clean software at the same time, please ping me. t. devuan user
>>
>>1087 depends on your threat level. for the majority of people what you're doing is fine. if your threat level is something more casual like "i want to stop companies from selling my data for algorithms" then you can still do that to a satisfying degree on an LTSC install with disabling scripts. using trusted, open source software (like ungoogled chromium/librewolf, libreoffice, krita) and healthy amounts of caution online will be a good effort. if you want to go even further you can use invidious, nitter, and other alternative frontends for data hogging sites. the hikarin above me is correct in the sense that you can't really hide from the government, but that is not within most people's threat level (including mine).

>>1074 Why would you use wine for that? Proton id inarguabley better for games.
>>
>>1076 proton in part uses wine, no?
>>
>>1077 Proton is a fork of Wine, but it has a few tweaks so it can run seamlessly with Steam. By my experience the best runners are Wine-GE/Proton-GE, if you haven't yet, I would recommend trying it out, although the creator is now working mostly on UMU Launcher, which is by their description on Github: > A unified launcher for Windows games on Linux. It is essentially a copy of the Steam Runtime Tools and Steam Linux Runtime that Valve uses for Proton, with some modifications made so that it can be used outside of Steam. By my understanding it let's you run proton without Steam, so now they don't need to have a Wine-GE and Proton-GE separated, and considering Wine-GE have not been update in more than a year now, and also the Bottles and Lutris creators are heavily involved in UMU, I can assume it's where most of the work is going to right now.

Proton is gay and corporate, and I don't understand how to use it. With wine, it just werks. How do I even install your proton crap?

>>1053 it's called TUI, in principle you can make one just using your terminal's protocol. there are libraries like pdcurses, termbox2, crossterm or ncurses that include utility functions and add a compatibility layer so you don't have to learn the different terminal protocols. and then there are higher level libraries that even come with widgets and multi-platform input handling like tuibox, libtickit*, libvaxis or ratatui* these last two don't depend on any curses emulator and use their own, significantly less bloated, stacks there is also imtui if you want a terminal backend for imgui *: c **: zig ***: rust
