Did you not know?
You can simply select all files you want to commit, in the File Manager, Ctrl+C, then paste in the terminal and it will automatically add all those file names (full paths) separated with spaces at the cursor. At least in KDE: Dolphin -> zsh + Konsole it does.

And sure, it might look like 2 extra steps, but you will still be clicking around a lot in case of a GUI anyway.

I tend to just type partial filenames and use tab completions, which are also pretty configurable. And the only dissatisfaction I have rn, is that I don't have zsh module for completions with pascal case and snake case.

That's definitely how it is seen.
If I were to see "Discard Changes" anywhere in a dialogue, I would assume it will discard whatever changes I made in that dialogue. In this case, probably some source control related changes. If it were to say "Warning: This will Discard ALL changes!!!", I might do a double take, but had I never used git CLI before, I would still assume that at most it would discard "ALL" changes made in the current session.

For me personally, I would consider it more useful for it to say:

This action will delete the following files:
- followed
- by
- a
- list
- of
- files
- that
- would
- be
- deleted
Continue?

Which neither has to look like a warning, acting like you might be doing something you don't want to and also is much more useful for someone like me who wants to double check what exactly I am deleting.


Also, I have used git CLI before and apart from being able to see blame in the editor itself and maybe a better representation of tree, I don't feel the need to use any git GUI tool. Even when I tried, I realised it was slower and more finicky to use. So, it would stand to reason that it should be targetted towards people who don't use CLI (and might have never used git CLI).

Yes, e.g. I got the 're in blue and everything else light grey.

Is this guard supposed to be slacking off on the job?

It works on Firefox EndeavourOS

At least that's what I aim for in Civ VI.
No idea about you

What if it were 10/100 Gb/s ?

For LibreOffice, I'd go with, worse and better at the same time.

  • I have just noticed, overtime, that it has some problems in some cases, where MS Office does better, while there are certain cases where it does better.

There are 2 major pain points though:

  1. Calc UI stutters when using the scrollbar with mouse click and drag.
  2. Adding images to files makes the whole thing way slower than acceptable.

I haven't used it for a few months though, so something might have changed. But the second issue specifically is a long time one.

On the other hand, the formula usages are much better in Calc. Also, the documents don't get wonky between versions as much as MS Office

That's why I keep a pen and paper. For power outages.

Apart from that, if there's light:

  • some exercise
  • kirigami
  • wash clothes (by hand)
  • eat random (edible) stuff which I would otherwise use to cook
    • cooking needs electricity

No light:

  • sleep

I recently saw a post regarding a TUI app for it.
Perhaps I'll try that.

Maybe even make one for myself, if the protocol is easy enough.

This output is just for the network firewall.
In this case, you might want to ignore all messages with this pattern.

Perhaps look into other messages

LMDE

Oops! I thought it was some obscure DE.

Considering your points, it seems to be most probably some configuration issue.
Might even be that some of the automated monitor/display configuration tools (might be some GUI settings thing) wonked out and reconfigured something.

If your system has some shortcut combination for selecting external monitor/connected projector/mirror screen, perhaps you can try that.

Also, since you mentioned xrandr, I would assume X Session. You can also use xrandr to check and set the monitor configuration. Not just whether it is connected, but also location (left/right/up/down) and screen resolution of each display separately. Perhaps trying those could tell you what is happening.

While I find it hard to relate to your examples, the basis of what I meant is the same.

It is important that you know when you need to change the status quo. And in the current society, it is pretty easy to fall in a non-optimal comfort zone, where you are destroying yourself by the day. And even though you know it, you might not want to take the risk of destabilising your situation.

Here, anxiety will help you take the leap and as long as you don't make worse mistakes, you might find yourself in a better place.

 

I have a multiboot system. One of the installed OS's does not use the NVMe SSD installed on the motherboard at all.
At the time of taking the screenshot, all the SSD partitions are unmounted, so apart from detection, the SSD is mostly unused.

  • I would like the temps to drop down to SYSTIN (≈35°C) levels.
  • I know, it's right next to my GPU, but I am not doing anything GPU intensive, the GPU temps are ~37°C ^[apart from GPU memory, which is 48°C due to the awful AMD 7th gen Zero RPM, which has no workarounds on Linux]

For the unmounted and unused HDDs, I just use hdparm -Y, but there seems to be nothing in terms of that for the SSD. And even though I appreciate the additional heat in winters, this is going to be too expensive for me. I'd rather burn some cheap Nichrome than my data storage device.

I checked out a Debian forum thread and from that, I checked the following:

❯ sudo nvme get-feature /dev/nvme0 -f 2 -H
get-feature:0x02 (Power Management), Current value:0x00000004
        Workload Hint (WH): 0 - No Workload
        Power State   (PS): 4

Showing it is already in the lowest power state.

I have no active cooling setup for the SSD from my side. This becomes relevant soon.

  • Checking the SSD temps (using the same widget as in the image), the temperature on Sensor 2 starts out at ~40°C (after a normal reboot) and slowly increases to >50°C as shown at the start of the graph. Power State (PS) is still 4.

  • Running KDE partitionmanager, which probably does some reading to check the partition information, at 50°C stage, causes a temperature drop, as shown in the image.

  • Running KDE partitionmanager right after reboot, when the temperature is increasing very sloowly, seems to do nothing significant.


  • Turns out that after a few minutes of System Standby, the SSD doesn't return to PS: 4, so I have the culprit.
  • Running partitionmanager after that causes it to go back to PS: 4

So we have a solution! All I need to do is run partitionmanager on wake. nlol jk


Motherboard: MSI MAG X570S TORPEDO MAX (MS-7D54)
SSD: Samsung 980 512GB (correct firmware, bought long before the fakes started coming out)

 

Until he actually had to use it.

Took 2 hours of reading through examples just to deploy the site.
Turns out, it is hard to do even just the bash stuff when you can't see the container.
