overview for ulterno

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

[~~Help~~ Diagnosis] How to turn off power to NVMe SSD? OR Why/How is my SSD heating up in weird ways? (programming.dev)

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.
