😆Can someone make a similar one for bluetooth devices too, pretty please?

Recently, I've found myself posting more often on Mastodon a Lemmy & blog way less - indeed credits go to Fediverse and the mods for making it a safe and welcoming place ❤

Here's my latest one: https://www.bahmanm.com/2023/07/firefox-profiles-quickly-replicate-your-settings.html

It's not self-hosted, rather I'm using Google's blogspot. I used to host my own website and two dozens of clients' and friends' until a few years ago (using Plone and Zope.) But at some point, my priorities changed and I retired my rock-solid installations and switched to blogspot.

I agree w/ you RE posts looking horrible 👍

Though I'd say for one-liners like this, it's mostly OK. It gets really messy when folks post more complex posts and mention and tag a bunch of times.

I'm no OCaml expert and mostly I'm casually browsing.

The arguments presented read quite compelling. What are your thoughts? Does the conclusion make sense? Have you had any real world experience w/ GADTs that you could share?

Apparently

😂

I'm afraid I can't be of any help 😕

Any error logs? Try launching things from the terminal and note down any messages that are printed there.

That's a good question 💯 In my case too, it took me some time (read years 😂) to figure out what I'm comfortable w/.

I can think of 3 major ways that you can navigate the filesystem while being able to drop to a shell when you need it:

• If you're familiar w/ Emacs, you can either:
  • Use dired and tramp on your machine to access/navigate the target machine.
  • Install Emacs (emacs-nox) on the target machine, SSH and then run emacs-nox and voila! No need for tramp in this scenario.
• Use Midnight Commander (mc) which offers a TUI pretty much like Norton Commander (nc) from the days of yore.
• Get used to the semi-standard structure of the file system and just use plain Bash (cd, pushd & popd) to move around. That is
  • Understand what usually goes into common directories (like /usr/share or /opt) and try to follow the same pattern when rolling your own software installations.
  • Learn how to use your distro's package manager to query packages and find out where things, like configurations and docs, are stored. Something as simple as rpm -q --list is what you usually need.

HTH

messing with the partition any more than I already have

Running fsck is a harmless and actually pretty useful operation, esp if you boot using a USB stick.

But yes, never hurts to have backups - easier said than done 😂

I'm not on a Debian-based system but a recent experience w/ packaging a software as a DEB was quite eye-opening 😅 The format and the build process felt too cluttered (to me) and it wasn't easy for me to wrap my head around it.

I'm happy that folks are working on alternatives ✌️

Have you tried booting into recovery mode and perform a fsck on the drive - using the grub menu? Or you could boot via USB and try the procedure.

I wonder why all the down-votes!? The linked article was a good read IMO. What did I miss here?
