  • How are you parsing JSON on the command line?

    Jump

  • I have perused it, but its both so dense and so broad that its not that helpful unless i know exactly what I'm looking for. I have also tried info and tldr. I actually like tldr the most,. although the exhaustiveness of the man pages must be admired. I dont find it to be the best teacher.

  • What are some goos resources for learning jq? I really struggle when it comes to nested keys/values which obviously limits my ability to use it.

  • Roses are red, violets are blue, everyone is using IPv6, why aren't you?

    Jump

  • IPv4 should be deprecated, but it's not

  • What programming language ruby, python og javascript?

    Jump

  • Im biased here, ive been learning python for almost 16 months and only dabbled in Javascript and never did any Ruby, but for a first language, i think python is fantastic. Its "easy" enough to keep you feeling like your skill is actually improving, while still being able to do pretty much anything (where performance is not a high priority). I also just think javascript is ugly to look at.

  • What a great read! Thanks so much for sharing this.

  • Installing and using Jellyfin without root

  • Cross posting from !linux@lemmy.ml because there's a lot of expertise here.

  • Can anyone recommend a lightweight, stable distro for a thinkpad?

    Jump

  • I have a T560 and i run debian with sway. It serves the dual purpose of getting me more comfortable in the terminal (i even use power shell on my windowa desk top a lot more now), and it runs much better than KDE or gnome did. Im missing some obvious quality of life settings like easily adjusting the power settings (it never sleeps, just turns off the screen and locks). But again, im trying to get more comfortable using the terminal so for me its more of a "take the training wheels off" thing.

  • How to combat creeping firefox enshitification?

    Jump

  • Is this just referring to the firefox sync feature? I love being able to access tabs from my laptop on my phone and vice versa.

  • "alright, we need to make our service worse to satisfy our real customers"

  • [debian] What's the best way to get certain programs to run on startup (with sway)

    Jump

  • In case this thread turns up a google search, or anyone is keeping score, I think I more or less managed to achieve what I wanted by putting this is in my config:

     
        
assign [class="Firefox-esr"]  "2"
exec wezterm -e cmus
 exec swaymsg [app_id="org.wezfurlong.wezterm"] focus
 exec swaymsg move container to workspace "10"
 exec firefox

    the only thing i don't love is that if quit cmus, it closes the window instead of bringing me back to the shell. maybe i have so chain commands or something, i don't know. i'm happy to have made it this far. Another thing is I don't know if it's possible to distinguish between the specific instance of wezterm that's running cmus, and the other one i want running on workspace 1.

  • [debian] What's the best way to get certain programs to run on startup (with sway)

    Jump

  • I want my terminal to start on workspace one. Since this is default behavior of adding 'exec

    <program>

    ' to my sway config, this requirement is satisfied. I also want Firefox to start up on workspace 2. And I would like another terminal to open on workspace 10, but to automatically run cmus, a terminal music player.

  • Weird behavior in python (tkinter) [SOLVED]

    Jump

  • That was it! I moved the two lines above the .configure() call into the outermost scope, and it works now.

    Should probably just bite the bullet and OOP it out. I was putting that off until I figured out how I wanted the whole thing to work, but it will probably be easier to just do it and change it as I go instead of trying to raw dog it for too long.

  • Weird behavior in python (tkinter) [SOLVED]

    Jump

  • okay, added the rest of the code.

  • Has anyone ever used Jaspersoft?

    Jump

  • Is it a low code tool?

  • How to access files on other drives?

    Jump

  • Whats the difference between using backticks for the definition of theDisk and $() ?

  • How to access files on other drives?

    Jump
    1. Identify the drives with the lsblk command.
    2. Run sudo mount <path/to/drive> <mount-point> Where path/to/drive is most likely /dev/something and mount-point is any directory you want but id recommend creating it in your home folder. Don't include the angle brackets. You have to create the directory before you can mount the drive there.

    If you don't want to do this every time you reboot, youll have to edit fstab like someone else said. Doing this a couple times will help you understand what fstab is actually doing.

  • What projects should I do to gain applied development skills?

    Jump

  • I learned something very valuable relatively early in learning how to program: sometimes, if you do things you don't understand enough, the understanding will come as a byproduct of just doing the thing.

    I had been stuck in a "i must understand the fundamental nature of everything i do before i do it" mindset, so this was quite revelatory to me.

  • Woodworking as an escape from the absurdity of software

    Jump

  • I tend to agree with you. I work in a retail pharmacy and literally have had nightmares about work. Some folks dont know how good they have it. But in their defense satisfaction is an unfortunately ephemeral beast. When i first switched from the floor to pharmacy i was happier than id been in years. I still wouldn't go backwards, but god damn some days i would love a job where i can sit down and the only customer i have to worry about is my boss.

  • Fedora is "the gaming" distro and perfect for Linux beginner confirmed (at least for me)

    Jump

  • If this ever happens to you again, you can try doing ctrl + alt + < F1 - F12>. That will bring up different screens/terminals and its so baked into linux it might have still worked even in that broken state. Still bonkers the installer didn't accept keyboars info though. Its ironic because so much of my linux experience has been about reducing mouse/touchpad use.
