Behold, the peak of manchild's argumentation skills.
Is Mopidy the logical evolution of mpd? Currently have an Odroid running mpd (amongst other services), but it isn't quite working like I want it to.
Playlists aren't as dynamic as I want them to be, beets as music manager is ok but could be better, amongst other minor stuff.
But on the other hand it's remote, every OS has an interface for it, and seems pretty lightweight.
How does Mopidy do on this stuff?
Ryan Thomas
Let me bother you 1) How do I get mousepad colour schemes to work when I'm using i3-wm? 2) I have onboard audio and a Creative sound card. Why does Arch switch the default used one on every reboot? 3) Anybody watching SatTV on freedom-enabled desktop persocoms?
Caleb Torres
2) Just configure /etc/asound.conf to set the default
Zachary Howard
>2) I have onboard audio and a Creative sound card. Why does Arch switch the default used one on every reboot? If you are using i3 then you don't have any "audio" manager than saves and restore your settings. Especially if you are using alsa directly without a sound server you should configure it explicitly (i.e. set the default card in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf).
Justin White
Arch, it's easier to share configurations across devices.

Nice argument you got there lad. You really laid it on me thick with that deep rebuttal. Not to mention the fact that the Democrats are literally in the process of becoming irrelevant: >Trump's litterally in the process of getting 40-50% of what he promised done and the Democrats losing even more power due to incompetent leadership and being out of touch => 4 more years youtube.com/watch?v=7LetIdXlt-g 8 years my friend :^). 8 years

If you ever wondered why people tell you to fuck off back to Sup Forumseddit outside of Sup Forumseddit it's this. A single > or a picture gets all of you riled up to defend the orange manbaby in the office.
I was just joking, I'm not even american I cannot care less who's POTUS, chill the fuck out and stop being a cancerous shithead for once.
What the fuck will all of you do when Sup Forums follows it's contrarian nature and becomes vocally liberal? Cry and post maga hats out of butthurt for the next decade?

Getting back on topic, which is better: screen or tmux?
Jonathan Young
>He things that's how Sup Forums works, not pointing out that Sup Forums has been becoming significantly more right leaning since /news/ was first created. Yeah, Sup Forums rides with the lowest common denominator of it's community. It used to be Sup Forums, then it was Sup Forums for a brief period of time but for the last few years it's been non-stop Sup Forums

why is audio on linux such a mess? why can't there one program managing everything at once?
Jackson Butler

You don't have to use them all at once. Pick one that suits you most and stick with it

I need a distro that is not kde neon or kubuntu (already tried don't like) that I can set up in max 2 hours (total noob I'm slow). pls no gentoo (unless you're disposed to teach me about it).
Justin Davis
>> The RustC uses LLVM backend >Great. C runs on bare metal. Current state of C toddlers
Easton Anderson
It isn't.
OSS was fixed with ALSA, Pulse extends alsa.
If you don't want a "mess" just use ALSA, but don't cry about lacking functionality.
See linux audio as one thing with addons, just like a browser that does one basic thing but does more with extensions.

James Campbell
>strncpy Is it 1980? LOL
David Miller
and fellow Rustaceans who can use strncpy correctly are smarter than 90% of the workforce at Mozilla. Congratulations you're smarter than a bunch of trannies and just about as mentally unstable.
Juan Davis
I bet you never made any bug in your ultra sophisticated daily fizzbuzz project with in C
Ayden Young
I'm new to bash.. How would I create a loop and mass convert with ffmpeg? Is this right way to do it? for i in *.VOB; do ffmpeg -i "$i" "$i%".mpg; done
Ryan Brown
oooh, teach me how to optimize my binary with those undefined behaviors. I ran out of ideas on how to make a better algorithm and have to look for unspecified broken trash ""features"" to make my program fast
Henry Peterson
>Let me use a meme language even though there is another language that does it's own job with better performance.
Just like you don't in your ultra-fast Rust kernel
Anthony Brown
Autist here, I was trying to make some random C crap for the cli (just for fun). Mind trying to make strncpy function? What I got so far: strlen() { printf -- '%d\n' "${#1}"; }; strcmp() { [ "${1}" = "${2}" ]; };
Chase Wilson
what kinda answer are you expecting from us? why can't you read the copypasta? here, I'll spoonfeed it to you so you don't have to scroll all the way up with your fat greasy fingers
>I bet you never made any bug in your ultra sophisticated daily fizzbuzz project with in C >Just like you don't in your ultra-fast Rust kernel Did I hurt your feelings?
It's okay I know you know how to make a Fibonacci program too
Joshua Sanchez
use find(1). For example: find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -name '*.flac' -exec bash -c 'f={}; ffmpeg -c:a libopus -ab 192k -ac 2 -ar 48000 -i "${f}" -- "${f%.*}.opus"' \;
- converts everything in the current dir to the opus format.
Charles Martinez
OH NICE HE HAS THOSE BENCHMARKS READY WHO KNEW
I BET HE THINKS ASSEMBLY IS SLOWER THAN C
Wyatt Anderson
that'll work
but why on earth would you convert a VOB into mpeg1 with ffmpeg defaults?
Nathaniel Clark
s/everything/all flac files/
Mason Foster
if you are trying to cut out the extension from the outputfile the correct syntax would be: for i in *.VOB; do ffmpeg -i "$i" "${i%.*}.mpg"; done
Logan Price
Well... >Picking the slower out of two meme languages Go lives up to it's name

Anyone run into this with GIMP? Fonts are kinda fucked up.
btw. I'm on Gentoo if it matters
Dominic Long
Configure your theme.
Carson Ramirez
>gentoo found the issue fix: install a proper distribution
Sebastian White
It took 5 years. 5 years before gimp added the option to have a one window mode. When I first learned it it was my first thought and all the tutorials where like: >Take 3 minutes to manual position the windows. >its not wrong its only different >some people prefer it to the photo-shop way
There are some great alternatives like libre office to replace MS office and Firefox to replace ... nothing IE and chrome both suck cox.
However the GPL ecosystem needs a photo-shop replacement like with libre office and Firefox.
GIMP is literally MS-paint++ so GIMP VS MS paint GIMP wins. however the overall idea is made bad. Really bad, like the multiple windows crap.
Have fun accidentally clicking on a background icon between the window gaps. Also anyone who made the magnification tool needs to be executed.
Meanwhile flash8 used the magnification tool like this: Drag select to maximize this region on screen click anywhere to minimize.
This is ultra great you can shove your required modifier keys up your own ass.
Joseph Fisher
Are you actually backpedaling now?
Let's see how you went
>C is unsafe trash "lul I can produce no bugs in my shitty 13 line closed sourced non existent project" "lul Rust is slow" >Assembly is faster than C "lul Go and Java is faster than C"
Ladies and gentelmen, this weaboo trash is a psychedelic autist
David Wilson
>java's faster that asm how even
Andrew Lewis
The "fucked up" fonts are supposed to be greyed out/inactive.
Your theme introduces a wierd shadow with a color lighter than the greyed out font. If it bothers you either switch themes or modify it.
Pic related is how it looks on Numix
Parker Ramirez
>ecosystem Stop using a word you don't understand.
Joshua Harris
What the C toddler doesn't realize is 1. Runtime optimization can beat C in terms of performance 2. Hand written ASM is hard to write
Liam Mitchell
JVM But Rust still is slow. Saying Java and Go are faster than C doesn't magically make your meme language good
