Effectively Use History Commands in Linux
  • I just started using both recently and it's great. For the fzf file search, there's even some extension that can show a preview pane of text files and even images!

    Is it a good idea to get a high wattage phone charging brick and standard USB C cord to use for a laptop charger?
  • Thanks for that thorough explanation! As someone that knows enough to be suspicious of the usual problematic factors, but not really aware of the details, this was great info

    Any ideas what these are?
  • 5G cellular is high bandwidth but very short range, so yeah they need that kind of density to maintain coverage. They installed them in a street near me and they're placed every couple of blocks. It's useful to think of the usual WiFi router at home: you can set up 2.4g and 5g access points. The 5g ones are faster, but have shorter range and you need to use the 2.4g one if you're far from the router

  • Pretty sure this is the answer, they seem to always look like that. Close to my street, they have them and it's the same cylinder but installed on the old light poles

    It's always projection
  • True. Although knowing this picture, and being from this city, I am irrationally irked by the fact that the picture is mirrored (condos are on the left in the original!). Maybe it was to align political left? Lol

    The Bypass Firewalls Repository is Gone -> Go get your archived copy.
  • Which one are you referring to? I just saw another post about this one that I just installed, which had been removed from the extensions store in Firefox but can still be downloaded from their GitHub repo. I just installed it on my android Firefox.

    Edit: sorry, didn't see that your post was a link. This seems to be the same one but on GitHub

    [Weekly thread] GNU+Linux help thread: ask anything!
  • Most of it was just nice little touches that didn't change my day much, but the explicit sync in Wayland by also adding the Nvidia 555 driver has really been nice

    Oldest wine ever discovered in liquid form found in urn with Roman remains
  • I am a historian whose specialty is too recent to deal with anything like that (20th century), but also have a friend who, to be generic here, deals with a handful of a few centuries back. She found a baggie of a drug mistakenly stored with a letter in an archive (think 18th century) and on a whim, dipped their pinky into the powder and tried it. They regret that decision, but also, nothing happened:)

    EDIT: Historians can be boring, but not always that tame

    Let's talk about Prusa Printables contests. It might need some fixing.
  • Honestly my biggest issue is with not moderating out the dozens of ridiculous entries that are either unrelated or just tinkercad screenshots of unprintable objects that were slapped together without even knowing how to use the align tool. Bonus for the ones that are not even screenshots but photos of someone's monitor showing their ridiculous tinkercad thing. Like, what are they thinking? Why even submit?

    I like contests as curated collections for me to browse through, and the scrolling through all that crap kinda annoys me. Maybe they're curating them out now, it's been a while since I looked through them. I know it's a minor pet peeve thing lol

  • Ah ok. I am not a native speaker, but would say I have a near native fluency in American English (moved here at 15 having already learned it before), and school of fish would be my go to, but shoal is the same as you said to me, sounds perfectly natural. Now that I am thinking about it though, it feels like every time I was near one (on a boat, or scuba diving), people said shoal, and in more abstract settings, school was more common. That's probably just me inventing a pattern though

  • Agreed, although I think a school of fish is also pretty broadly used, no?

  • Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Just curious, is -uk just a general suffix to make anything plural, or this is just a one off thing here?

    Dry your filament!
  • I live in high humidity, so that's a big part of my setup. I print from a custom dryer with 4 spools in it, which feed to the printer through PTFE bowden tubes. I have a wifi switch for the dryer that just turns on once in a while to keep the ones sitting there from getting wet by keeping the inside of the dryer, well, dry. I store all my filament in containers with a 3d printed silica containers that go into the spool. I use the "rechargeable" silica beads that change color when saturated. Once in a while, when I see that the beads are turning blue in the containers from opening and closing, I will do a drying session where I dry all the silica containers and the spools for a good while and put them all back into the containers. Can be a bit overkill, but it fully eliminates that factor for me!

  • So, not sure if I am completely off base here, but I had this odd thing happen today where I couldn't post an URL because whenever I did, part of it would be replaced with the text removed. You can see what I am talking about in the screenshot, and I am linking my comment below. Another commenter replied saying it was likely something related to a slur filter in my instance, so I am coming here for help to understand the issue. Sorry if this is completely wrong, I am not very well versed in the workings of the fediverse and different instance implementations. Here's the comment:
