its the Direct Rendering Manager, not the other DRM


another comment about favourite font missing: departure mono


hey, this is exactly same as my notes setup too!

For neovim markdown plugins my recommendations are SidOfc/mkdx and dbridges/vim-markdown-runner.


bit dissapointing that it doesn't actually render video into the terminal, just launches a video player


Adding "--vo=tct" after "mpv" in the argument list in line 55 of spongebob-cli should do the trick (haven't tested it myself).

edit: yep, works. You might also want to add "--quiet" to get rid of artifacts.


Linux n00b over here... apologies for the silly question but I can't seem to make this work

I enter spongebob-cli

Then when it prompts me to enter an episode number, I can't seem to get it to play from within the terminal itself

let's say I want to play episode 1:

1 --mpv --vo=tct --quiet

Doesn't seem to work. Any help to get past this would be greatly appreciated


Did you add them as separate strings like this?

  subprocess.run(["mpv", "--vo=tct", "--quiet", DirectLink])
Otherwise your terminal may be missing true-color terminal mode or the mpv in your distro doesn't have that output plugin. (You can check with "mpv --vo=help")


If, like me, you forget where to split the command and arguments, shlex.split in the standard library can split the raw string for you.


Rule of thumb is every space, except ones you'd normally put between quotes. so e.g.

    foo quix-quiz "bar baz"
turns into

    ["foo", "quix-quiz", "bar baz"]
Though do note that you don't get an extra set of quotes on "bar baz" which is slightly confusing, but makes sense once you think about it a bit.


You need to edit spongebob-cli to add the arguments to the code where it calls mpv. It sounds like you're just running it and providing the arguments to its prompt.


I remember watching the soccer world cup like that years ago, just connecting with netcat. It received the "video" 5 seconds earlier than my TV.


Honestly, a terminal based search/browse with media player video would be my ideal replacement for youtube and similar


look for projects that use youtube-dl


I do. I write my own scripts that use it too.


personally i've got a logitech mx master mouse, it has the logitech hyperscroll technology. Quite wonderfull to use on linux.


A lot of apps don't interact well with Hyperscroll at all, and when it sends the "1 pixel" scroll event continuously every 10ms, they'll either keep scrolling for days after the wheel stops spinning or scroll like 1000 lines when you only moved it half a rotation.


I've tried a RPI 3b for backups & home server, but found it too slow. Also backup drives connected over USB are said to be unreliable. Since then moved to slightly bigger, but fanless & low power motherboard, with intel x86, in mITX form factor. Asrock sells a bunch of motherboard models with J-series processors. Its more expensive though


After playing with earlier generation RPi's, my opinion was that they are useless crap, not performant and stable enough for my projects. But now I tried RPi4 8GB model, and I have to say that it is entirely different beast. For my projects they have been very stable and performant so far.


Exactly my experience. My mind boggles at the thought that a Pi 1 was considered sufficient by anyone to be a desktop replacement with its tiny amount of RAM and processing power, even back then.


I used a Pi 1 for a couple of years as my main desktop. It's definitely possible if you don't need bloated apps to do your work.


Unfortunately the modern web is the perfect definition of bloated software, and you cannot really get stuff done without it. At minimum, it's needed for banking, government documents, and e-learning/collaboration platforms.


After setting up a NAS with a Pi 3 earlier, I came to the same conclusion: it just wasn't ready for primetime yet. The USB bus was a huge bottleneck.

Pi 4 is a different beast. It's actually feasible to run it as a NAS without greatly compromising performance. They did a great job reducing the bottleneck, to the extent that I don't mind attaching all my external drives to a couple of these.


I used to have three ~25" 1080p monitors side by side, but now switched to two monitors stacked vertically (1440p + 1080p). I think vertical stacking is probably better for my neck, also takes up less desk space.


great to see this progressing! I have a touchscreen netbook and have hope that these improvements for touchpads will also help with touchscreen gestures


I'm running opensuse tumbleweed past couple years on my laptop & desktop, with btrfs as root FS. No issues. I also run btrfsmaintenance script every month, maybe that helps.


interesting paragraph about the centos users, that most are anonymous who never call and never write. And if red hat is not trying to convert them to paying users, redhat doesnt get any value from them. Atleast now, with centos stream, these users will be sort of beta testers.
