I kinda love it in theory.

Will be trying this out.

I do find it funny however that awk is lumped together with these small use case tools like sed, grep, tr, cut, and rev, since awk can be used to replace all of these tools and is it's own language.

I don't think the emphasis should be on simplicity, but rather on understandability (which long awk commands are not either).

If you give someone a bash script, they should be able to know exactly what the code will do when they read the script without having to run it or cat out the source it might need to parse. Using ubiquitous tools that many people understand is a good step.

Sadly awk is installed by default in most distros and tools like jq and jc would require installation.

I once heard that there is a theory that things written on yellow is more memorable. Which is why the default original color for legal pads, post-its, and highlighters is yellow.

So yellow should be what ever you need to memorize more. So it depends on your teacher and how much of the subject matter needs to be memorized. I'd say it should be history as there are a lot of dates and minute details, but I could also understand it being used for any subject that needs memorization like foreign languages, science, and even math.

Blue and green are both calming colors so those should either be reserved for that classes that give you the most stress or the classes that benefit the most from being calm, like creative writing or music.

Red is an exciting color, use it on what ever subject you are most confident i or interested in.

I guess I think the bearded guy (wait...it that a beard or just a long mustache?) Is using my system correctly.

Also, with gitea the table of contents for org files are properly rendered in HTML as it should be. As someone that uses org-mode this is a reason to avoid gitlab.

But for most people I'd say the less resources that gitea requires means you save on compute and ultimately is cheaper to host.

I've been running my own gitea server on kubernetes and with istio for over 3 years with no issues.

If you like xfce, I think that kde is more similar to it than gnome. So I would recommend giving kde a try too.

An easy way to test out both is to just use a live image booted from a USB. You could always install them to your everyday PC but then you have a lot more packages installed and I personally would rather keep my installed packages to a minimum. If you can't do a live cd because your os doesn't provide one then I would try a vm or a different drive that you can boot into.

Honestly, you shouldn't probably just use hdpe and pp if you're concerned about ea leaching.

And if there is exposure to UV radiation (sunlight), then hdpe is the better option. However one can either use UV protected pp, paint or cover the pp to mitigate the UV effects.

There is more to be said about micro plastics however and a lot is still unknown.

Most of the time, unless it's a film about love or sex, romance is just shoehorned in there for no reason. I think the only genre of film that should be allowed to do that is comedy. Otherwise it seems like lazy story telling, especially in action movies.

If we want porn, we have the Internet in our hands. So random sex scenes make no sense.

Why would we want barely formed romance sub plots?

Film should be used as a tool to gain insight into these experiences, of which some of the more profound might be seduction, companionship, and loss.

On my phone, I've been using newpipe for a few years with little complaints. I can import my Google account subscriptions to it but I can't comment or rate.

On my home theater PC I have been watching YouTube via Kodi with a Google API for over 6 years. It works excellent and there is no ads. Although Google may at any time revoke access to the API or charge me a fee to use it. It is kinda technical to set up and requires Kodi which is a rather large package with a lot of python dependencies. So if you only want to watch YouTube and don't want to set up a Google API or read a doc then it might not be for you.

Others comments here mentioned freetube which looks really promising and I might try it on my laptop.

I guess the trakt API could be used for this...but their database won't have YouTube videos in it.

You should try playing games on Linux with proton. It's gotten so good in the past 3 years that I have not wanted to play games on Windows since COVID.

I have only seen games not work on Linux when it required a rootkit and I don't care to have that installed outside of a sandbox anyway.

If there is still a place for windows, it's for games that require root kits and for the handful of specialized software that won't run on Linux.

Even when a company forces me to use a windows laptop, I just install arch in wsl2 and do all my work there.

I've had issues with draining out the grow beds enough. If they aren't drained well enough then the roots might rot or the plants might die from too much water.

If you have a single grow bed, it's a lot easier. Then you mostly just have to worry about the siphon initiating and stopping at the right times. Which is something you can see and fix in less than an hour before there is plants.

Not sure what your situation was, but it's best to start small and try to account for every variable.

I'm on year 3 of my setup, and I just added another 2 grow beds and a sand root zone in the sump.

If you use the plants to filter the water, it is a lot less expensive than a typical aquarium.

But if you love fish (or just like eating them) then this is a solid way to go.

[–] CubitOom 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

If you got fish and an aquarium, might want to look into aquaponics.

It's better for herbs and spices since without soil other produce doesn't taste as good.

As a bonus, aquaponic grow beds work really well for propagating plants from cuttings. I have been able to make a lot of fruit tree saplings with it.
