What's a unique customization on your Linux machine you think no one else has?
(discuss.tchncs.de)
Not unique, but we are now kindred (I did the same <:)

I was third in a chain of "Nice"s. I think about my crimes every day.
I think I mentioned it but here it is again in case the comment didnt federate

# snippet based on end4 dotfiles -- FIXME edge case where a
# preexisting tmp.png might be overwritten
# English
bind = Super+Shift,T,exec,grim -g "$(slurp $SLURP_ARGS)" "tmp.png" && tesseract -l eng "tmp.png" - | wl-copy && rm "tmp.png"
# Korean
bind = Super+Shift,K,exec,grim -g "$(slurp $SLURP_ARGS)" "tmp.png" && tesseract -l kor "tmp.png" - | wl-copy && rm "tmp.png"
# Japanese
bind = Super+Shift,J,exec,grim -g "$(slurp $SLURP_ARGS)" "tmp.png" && tesseract -l jpn "tmp.png" - | wl-copy && rm "tmp.png"
Pipe grim and slurp (selects part of the Wayland screen then copies) into a tmp.png, tesseract it into the clipboard, then delete the tmp.png. Has like 1 sec of lag tho :]
I had that opportunity once. But
"Nah, I want to get a feel for the market first, ya know? That's why I'm investing short-term for now -- I'll do long-term later."
VT ain't as hip as Nvidia options, eh?
LOL I've never seen that before.
Do you use them both at the same time? Or do you switch between them rapidly? (Maybe you could make a taskbar button-toggle if it's the latter!)
A custom EFI app? Is that like a handrolled Unified Kernel Image with some Proxmox-specific addons in it? How'd you make it?
ooh I should do that for Obsidian instead of having an enormous directory of Pasted Image 202302050124300845012.pngs. =◡=
Triangulating your location. Are you... in the Milky Way Galaxy?
(Thanks for reminding me to limit accumulator charge)
edit: based on the other commenter I think I might be missing a simpler declarative way to do this. The following will be kept for posterity though
The main idea is:
- Use Window Titler to add a title. For me, if I want it on workspace 7, I title the window "7". (NOTE: The title will probably appear like [title], see below)
- Make a script that queries the window manager, and then dispatches a movement to the appropriate workspace. In Hyprland that might be
hyprctl -jwhich gives
... json blahblah
"title": "[7] What's a unique customization on your Linux machine you think no one else has? - tchncs — Mozilla Firefox"
... json blahblah
but in Sway it might be something similar to using swaymsg. Only titled windows will have the bracket number thing so just regex that part
- Put it in autostart. Because Firefox takes a while to load on my junk machine I
sleepfor like 30 seconds to a minute before all the titles register.
I'd learned about this last week, and this stuff is a bunch of Wikipedia searches so forgive me if I miss anything :]
Similar to git master and whitelist/blacklist having addressed racist origins, I've just learned that "ricing" -- i.e. way-far-from-default, colorfully souped-up *nix customizations -- came from a derogatory word for Asian "riced out" cars.
(click to enlarge spot where I came to learn about this)
Example in the lemmy.ml/c/linux community.
The linked Wikipedia article doesn't list *nix ricing specifically, but it's probably not a far reach -- for example, tech's master-slave came from cars too.
Now I'm not here to start a debate on whether the term itself is bad. The arguments are done to death and predictable (old thread~hope~ ~I~ ~can~ ~link~ ~here~). Rather, I posit that we could probably invent a new term if we forced it hard enough.
For example, 4chan forcibly invented the use of the ok hand for "white power", as a collective prank (Wikipedia).
Further, Tumblr invented 'then beg' as an insult response to 'I beg your pardon/to differ'. (click to enlarge)
Based on Pukicho.
So why can't Lemmy invent something too?
Here are some earlier takes. (click to enlarge for source, but they are listed below anyway)
I surmise it has to be (1) somewhat unique and (2) short and nounable/verbable.
- Customization doesn't fit -- it's too broad. Changing the wallpaper is a customization -- diagonalizing your screen is a rice (term to be replaced...).
- Bespoke doesn't fit either. That's for a duct-tape script you hack together.
- Pimping out... is not a good alternative. It preexists^(citation^ ^needed?)^ and has inertia but it's not any better.
- Souping up... doesn't roll off the tongue so much. But it's food-related (and thus not far from "rice"). Though I can't see myself saying "Yo, check out this epic soup."
Brainstorming welcome :P
