Editing (or running) file(s) regardless of current directory. [Cli tip]

tl;dr...

Is it possible to parse a rss reader through ffplay?

Title. Basically, a lower panel that shows the latest news, etc (fetched from a rss link or a sequence of rss links) while scrolling left (ala CNN). Why? I’m trying to make a “smart clock” of sorts that shows a live stream, a real time clock and -also- the latest news – all crumbled together in a single screen....

Best ergonomic/vertical mouse for FPS gaming?

Title. Is it the Logitech MX? Thanks in advance.

Has any of you ever tried the "Ragnok 2 gun mouse"? If so, how good is it?

Title. Been using “conventional mouses” since a while, and I’m in the mood to try something new. Even so considering its a ergonomic mouse that won’t screw my wrists even more while gaming(I’m over 40 y/o)....

I'm looking for a command that is similar to cpupower, but for gpu (or even both -- gpupower?systempower?)

Title. Something that is minimal, has a daemon and a very KISS config file. Bonus points if it also has a “generic” setup (works for all pcs but its not optimal? So I could run this on my sbc.)...

"Combokeys" instead of hotkeys. [Feature/new command suggestion]

Title. Basically, “if a street fighter gamer and a linux tryhard had a baby” where a combination of keys is issued to run a command/script rather than a single or a simultaneous stroke of two or more. i.e left, down, left, right arrow keys, R_CTRL to run Firefox. Right, right, Up, right arrow keys, delete to power off the...

As a normal, boring user that does nothing special other than browse the internet and the occasional "casual coding" -- what am I supposed to do with 32GiB of ram?

Title. Besides setting tmpfs to use 10GiB of it to store downloads.

Hows my forkbomb?

j/k its not a forkbomb. But it does (intentionally) make your PC sweat....

Alright, I'm gonna "take one for the team" -- what is with the "downvote-happy" users lately?

Title. “lmao internet points” and all, but what is the point of participating in a community that sees assumptions and other commonly non-harmful commentaries/posts as “bad” this easily? Do folks in here are really that needy of self-validation, even if it means seeking such from something completely insignificant like...

Have a pixelated bonfire to warm your night. (Image size is ~ 19KiB.)

Nothing too shabby, but still. To run it you need docker, and after that just type...

Am I wrong to assume that docker is perfect for single board computers that relies on low life expectancy drives (microsd)?

Title. Mostly because of two flags: --read-only and –log-driver.

How exactly "secure" is a container with all capabilities dropped, distroless, with a custom rootfs directory, a static, single binary with chmod set at 100 and file ownership pointed to non-root u...

ser*, and said non-root user being “nonexistant” (i.e set via ENV)? Can such container -STILL- be exploited/breached through malicious means? Forgot to mention that its a DOCKER container @ title, but there you have it. Just curious....

Anyone want to try this "nyancat" docker image? It's pretty big -- 23kIB. :^) (hub.docker.com)

Long, short story: CLI animation with some minor annoyances. “Handcrafted” most of em out of the .c file, followed by a bunch of gcc flags. Made it distroless, and this came up. Then my “sharing itch” started after checking the memory usage of the container at a whooping 0 bytes. (I know it must be way more than that,...

Non-root user that (suddenly) has elevated privileges in a specific command (only). [Have I been hacked?]

Title. Long,short story: creating or editing files with nano as my non-root user gives (the file) elevated privileges, like I have ran it w/ sudo or as root. And the (only) “security hole” that I can think of is a nextdns docker container running as root. That aside, its very “overkill” security-wise (cap_drop=ALL,...

Copy this code and paste it in the CLI. And no, it's not a forkbomb.

How bad/terrible is this docker image? (Click here to see it.) (hub.docker.com)

Title. Just wondering if I did something bad/terrible with it. Link is @ title. Check the image tag @ its repo to see how it was built. And before someone asks… the Docker lemmy community is really dead so I had to resort to you guys. Sorry, I guess....

Apparently, all you need to do to "git gud" in an online FPS is to reduce hand "stress" while aiming.

Long, short story:...

Do I need to run "rootless docker" even if my containers have "cap_drop" set to ALL? [Docker]

Title. Just curious since apparently cap_drop=all means that the container “can’t do a thing” (?). Root users are (also) included in this (?). That’d be great if someone could enlighten me on this topic....

Give browser and wine ownership to user "nobody" = "foolproof" against viruses?

Title. Just had this baseless yet possible idea on my head and I’d like to know how wrong it is? Since afaik, “nobody” has absolutely zero permissions… other than the ones given by the user. Pretty sure I’m missing something vital or important, but… I’m completely fine being called dumb every now and then....

Switching to a sid repo via /etc/apt/sources.list and then avoiding any -critical- packages is (pretty much) all I need to do to run Debian unstable, right?

Title. Probably the dumbest thing I ever posted in my entire lifetime, but there you have it. Downvote at your own leisure....

Could use a "tl;dr guide" of sorts on how to use Android.

In other words… a “Use this to do that” guide. Or more specifically, how to customize it (Get rid of the wallpaper, use lower resolutions, set up apps to run on boot, permanently change scaling_min_freq, etc without the usage of third party apps) and where to find a decent/optimized version of it (Something like LineageOS?...

Craziest/most "exotic" devices able to run Linux?

Something like a thermostat or a smart fridge – have you seen any? If so, please share with a video or two.

Is anyone else using the Orange pi zero 3 right now?

Because Im currently typing this on mine (1 GiB, android install) and everything is (very surprisingly) rock solid – page loading is very smooth, youtube playback is smooth as well (it can even play 4k videos no problem) and even gaming works flawlessly well (Havent went too far beyond PS1 games, but from PS1 and under it...
