( command | sloooower 0.000277 is pretty much a 3600 bauds output)

That's very good.

Generalization and line feed customisation :

    
function sloooower() {
    BASE_INTERVAL=${1:-0.05}
    RET_ADD_INTERVAL=${2:-0.1}
    CHAR_ADD_INTERVAL=${3:-0}
    while IFS= read -r -n1 char; do
        if [[ -z "$char" ]]; then
            sleep "${RET_ADD_INTERVAL}"
            printf "\n"
        else
            sleep "${CHAR_ADD_INTERVAL}"
            printf "%s" "$char"
        fi
        sleep "${BASE_INTERVAL}"
    done
}
alias sl='ls | sloooower'

  

I try to organise my data in the cleanest way possible, with the less double possible etc... I end up using a lot of symbolic links. When doing maintenance, sometimes I want to navigate in the "unlogical" way the data are organized, but the PWD variable is not necessarily very cooperative. This alias is really useful in my case :

    
alias realwd='cd -P .'  
  

  

Here is an example :

    
$ echo $PWD  
/home/me  
$ cd Videos/Torrents/  
$ echo $PWD  
/home/me/Videos/Torrents  
$ realwd  
$ echo $PWD  
/home/me/data/Torrents/Video  
  
  

I also do some X application, compositor and WM development, and I have a few aliases to simplify tasks like copying from an Xorg session to an Xnest (and the other way around), or reload the xrandr command from my .xinitrc without duplicating it.

    
alias screenconf='$(grep -o "xrandr[^&]*" ~/.xinitrc)'  
alias clip2xnext='xclip -selection clip -o -display :0 | xclip -selection clip -i -display :1'  
alias clip2xorg='xclip -selection clip -o -display :1 | xclip -selection clip -i -display :0'  
  
  

I have an alias for using MPV+yt-dlp with my firefox cookies :

    
alias yt="mpv --ytdl-raw-options='cookies-from-browser=firefox'"  
  
  

I can't stand too long lines of text on my monitor, particularly when reading manpages, so I set the MANWIDTH env variable.

    
# Note : if you know that *sometimes* your terminal will be smaller than 80 characters  
# refer to that https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Man_page  
export MANWIDTH=80  
  
  

I use null-pointers a lot, with a shorthand.

    
# Note: env.sh actually provide other helpful aliases on their homepage  
function envs.sh() {  
    if [ $# != 1 ]; then  
        1>&2 printf "Error, need one argument.\n"  
        return 1  
    fi  
    curl -F'file=@'"$1" https://envs.sh/  
}  
  
  

The usual fake editor in my path, so that browsers and other applications open Vim the correct way.

    
#!/bin/sh  
# st_vim.sh - executable in my ~/.local/bin  
# for example in firefox's about:config :  
#   - view_source.editor.path : set to the value of $(which st_vim.sh)  
#   - view_source.editor.external : set to true  

st -- $EDITOR "$*"  
  
  

My .xinitrc is quite classical, I still have this in it (setup for dwm's title bar, people usually install much complicated programs) :

    
while true; do xsetroot -name "$(date +"%d %H:%M")"; sleep 60; done &  
  
  

I also have a lot of stupid scripts for server and desktop maintenance, disks cleaning etc... those are handy but are also very site-specific, let me know if your interested.

Thanks for this !

I've found a couple models in the 20-30€ range, I will try those.

Hello !

I don't know a lot about CSS. But I what I was trying to do was : putting the side bar before the mainbar, with the same width as the main ; and hiding / showing it with an interaction (here hover a rectangle shown above the main bar).

A proper way to do it would certainly be having a page template that has a sidebar hide/show checkbox (or in HTML <details>, <summary> etc...), but this would mean a slightly different page layout (and as non-front-end dev I think I'm not the right person to ask ahah).

« Pouvoir s'affranchir d'une entité tierce » c'est bien beau mais dans les faits c'est bien plus complexe en fonction de ton niveau, lieu ou mode de vie.

Aujourd'hui pas mal de produits de vie ne sont accessibles à des coûts abordables que via des plateformes en ligne.

Si on peut se débrouiller en liquide pour les produits du quotidien dans les villes, là où je vie le premier distributeur est à 35km. Le meilleur moyen d'en obtenir c'est via du cashback à l'épicerie du coin, avec des frais assez importants.

D'autant plus que ton salaire, si tu veux avoir accès à la protection sociale, cotiser etc. bref déclarer, tu es dans l'obligation d'avoir et d'utiliser un compte en banque, donc une entité tierce, centralisée.

Je souhaites pas défendre ce système, que je trouve à chier, mais le fait est que c'est non seulement compliqué, et pas réaliste pour une bonne part de la population de simplement refuser de l'utiliser.

Thanks !

Yes I've been thinking a lot about lighting. My sight problems are greatly impacted by the lack of light.

I already have a 2 led lamps, they provide enough light and have a great range of motion.

Maybe one day I'll go with a ring lamp w/ or w/out a magnifier on it, but I already know that for soldering this is not enough for me (a friend of mine lent me one a couple of years ago).

Thanks !

That's the kind that most friends advised me. But their is a lot of models, and I'm not entirely sure which one are wearable with glasses or not.

I guess I'll go with a on-table device later.

Was high, and reading the journal. Phased on the name of somebody and then choose.

It was like "Yeah... this one, I like it"

Oh thanks, didn't know about this community, I might post it there :)

So I come up with a way better solution, remember that I'm not a JS/CSS dev at all. This is done through some flex container manipulation, height manipulation and :hover magic.

It hides the sidebar below the main panel, and by hovering the grey rectangle it allows you to show it. I find it to work really well.

    
.main_pane, #side_pane {
  order: 1;
  width: 90%;
  max-width: unset !important;
  margin: 0 auto !important;
  overflow-y: hidden;
}

#side_pane {
  order: 0;
  
  display: flex;
  
  flex-direction: row;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  
  margin-top: 1rem !important;
  gap: 1em 0.5em;
  
  height: 3rem;
}

#side_pane:before {
    display: block;
    content: close-quote;
    height: 3em;
    width: 95%;
    margin: 0 auto;
    background-color: #eee;
}
  
#side_pane .card {
    order: 1;
    margin-top: unset !important;
    height: fit-content;
    max-width: calc(100% - 1em);
    width: 100%;
}
  
#side_pane .card#about_community {
    order: 0;
    width: 100%;
}

#side_pane:hover {
    height: unset;
    margin-bottom: 1rem !important;
}
    
#side_pane:hover:before {
  display: none;
}

  

PieFed custom CSS system doesn't allow & and ' symbols, which is pretty inconvenient for recursives selectors and for content clauses.

here is some screenshots, notice how the filters for the post feed are not properly aligned. This is not much of an issue for me, but can be improved

Hey,

I'm new to piefed, and this is already an issue for me.

Currently I am using a simple custom CSS, which is not completely tested. Instead of collapsing the bar, it put it at the bottom of the page, and attribute the whole width to the main column :

    
div.row {  
  display: block;  
}  
div.row .col-lg-8,  
.side_pane {  
  width: 90%;  
  margin: 0 auto;  
}  
  
  

Hope it will help :3

Hey !

On the last 4 years I've been working full time / having a lot of occupations the rest of the time, and yeah ... it sucks.

Depending on my social situation I have two main solutions :

1. Organizing with people : when I live w/ people we often organize for food preparation. Someday somebody will pack lunch for everybody in the house in the morning / the evening, or the week-end for the week.
2. Doing biiiig meal on the week-end, for the whole week / half the week: Things like broths can be really well conserved, as well as sandwich ingredients etc... You are not obligated to do full meal, you can also prep some parts to lightweight meal prep during the week etc... This ofc depends on when and how you have free-time.

This also comes with alarm clock, reminder etc... so I don't fck up my rhythm.

Also, I am vegetarian and had a lot of financial issues lately, this was also a strategy I / we used to buy food from wholesale merchants.
