1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    tar -xvzf blahaj.tar.gz
    cd blahaj/
    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install
    

    Now enjoy your Blahaj. (although depending on your system you may need to install dependencies after configuration. Blahaj is dependent on love, kindess, and affection.)

    blahaj is dependent on love, kindness, and affection.

    [–] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

    How do you install kindness and affection? They're not on the AUR:

    [yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de ~]$ paru -S kindness affection
    :: Resolving dependencies...
    error: could not find all required packages:
        kindness (target)
        affection (target)
    

    I have, somehow, found love packaged though. But it's not true love. It's LΓ–VE (a 2d game engine) spelled with an ASCII typeset so I'm pretty sure I have installed the wrong dependency.

    I still use yay, is paru better?

    [–] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

    paru is written in Rust, yay in Go.

    That's pretty much the only difference. Since Rust is objectively superior to Go (I have never worked with either language so my opinion is as unbiased as can be) paru is clearly better.

    Paru tends to handle things EVER so slightly better. Really tho it REALLY doesn't make a difference in reality.

    me: sees tar file

    terminal tar..... -asidjasdaskdjasldjasd

    error

    me, sighing: presses up until i find the last time i untarred a file, hoping

    nix-shell -p make --run make

    This is so true because gzip uses the Deflate algorithm :O

    -2 points for unnecessary use of tarball

    [–] UxyIVrljPeRl@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago

    Will be adding more.

    Good luck achieving that compression without the bag.

    If you use pixz, you can get indexing-permitting-for-random access, parallel compression/decompression and (generally superior to gzip's LZ77) LZMA compression with tarballs.

    $ sudo apt install pixz
    $ tar cvf blahaj.tar.pixz -Ipixz blahaj/

    Are you assuming my package manager!!??

    [–] tal@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago

    Just giving an example; translate to your preferred environment!

    [–] axEl7fB5@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 week ago

    https://lemmy.cafe/post/11766332, you either use yay or pacman. I don't know anything about Arch besides that because I use NixOS btw.

    With yay:

    yay -S pixz
    

    With pacman:

    pacman -S pixz

    If that is the GZ version, what would the BZ2 and XZ versions look like

    well there's lots of wasted space where the vacuum bag is empty
