so it’s not exactly a mirror, right?

Correct!

Your workflow is actually something I thought of but the duplication of all lossy files would be a bit too much and replacing them with symlinks would not work with git afaik.

It sure does.

Just came to say Thank You!

I’ve been using FramaGit ever since Github went Microsoft.

How did you copy it?

Are you sure you have all the data?

In any case, you can tell mpv to target chapters individually (it doesn’t do dvd menus);

mpv dvd://[number] --dvd-device=/path/to/my/rip

Where [number] is the number of the title/chapter.

TIL! Or should I say TILL! (Today I learned (more about) Linux)

Before any commenter rushes to condemn the Chaos That Is Linux, please check out OP’s posting history to get a clearer picture of their credibility.

(and like they themselves stated, this is a rant and not a PSA)

That’s kindof the opposite of what the previous commenter said. Have you tried explicitely setting the env var to a value different than what’s in gsettings?

What env var are we talking about btw?

And what freedesktop spec? AFAIK they do not deal much in env vars apart from XDG_*

I think it’s a coincidence and not etymologically related - scandinavian languages use the verb “talar” or variations thereof for “pay” or “tell” and I think it’s more related to the German word “zahlen”: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zahl#Etymologie

We had a smaller version of this in our childhood; the contents were somehow halfway between chocolate and chewing gum.

I love the name. Sounds like something edible. Maybe it just reminds me of GNUtella. A Taler, btw, is an old currency (mostly present in fairytales these days) and etymologically related to dollar.

Hm, weird, they have a perfectly working HTML/CSS site yet they fill it up with 3rd party requests for javascript etc.
In this case enabling javascript might actually make things worse.

This curbs my enthusiasm a little.

Meh. ssh<space><tab><tab> does the same.

Also, useless use of cat. And grep.

awk '/Host / {print $2}' ~/.ssh/config | fzf

Shell completion ftw. Once you grok the double-tab you might start using the terminal more than your filemanager.

I had been browsing the site for 5 minutes before I realized that I had not enabled javascript. Everything works: drop-down menus, icon fonts, everything. This is a very rare and skilful thing. I have deep respect and adoration, and it bodes well for the actual software.

Which I’m a little hazy about: can I build a forum with it? Or a blog?

Me. I support this, and I did for over a decade. If you don’t use windows there are more performant general purpose media players than VLC. Anybody who’s been reviving old hardware with Linux knows this.

You sound like you suspect that people want to dis VLC. That is not the case. I’m sure VLC has valid use cases even on Linux, and it certainly is a marvellous piece of software in its own right.

Now go away, you silly person.

Both: ssh config AND your fancy gui. Because most secondary and tertiary apps recognize the ssh config aliases. I know first hand Gigolo does.

Or your file manager: enter sth like sftp://user@host_alias/home/user - after success, create a bookmark.

And most secondary apps, e.g. git and sshfs, even Gigolo, recognize these aliases. It’s the best.

How do you define totalitarian governments in an actionable way? The license is a legal document.

And what if the shitty government doesn’t give a shit about your license because it’s shitty?

What if excluding any group of people in this way is actually illegal?

That said, lots of licenses exist, e.g. non-commercial ones. Check them all out, don’t write a new one.

I want to know only one thing: is it based on mpv?

Ha! Butterflies!
