    • Hidamari Sketch
    • Lucky Star
    • Non Non Biyori
    • Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou
    • Gochuumon wa Usagi desuka?
    • Tanaka kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge

    Hidamari Sketch is very underrated and is much less well known than it’s contemporaries like Lucky Star, but it’s basically the comfiest thing ever. Any CGDCT/SOL could work for this (Nichijou, Yuyushiki, Kiniro Mozaiku, K-ON!, …) but I specifically chose shows with a slower tempo.



  • I use fish abbreviations. Unlike bash/zsh aliases, they expand when you press space or enter. This way you see the original command every time you use the alias, and you can edit as well. This should lighten the concern you have a bit. Your concern is something that sysadmins keep in mind e.g. default vim bindings so you are always comfortable on any server. However for desktop use I don’t think leaving the speed and comfort on table is worth it. Most desktop users only use their own systems anyway.


    • set a good tty font (it’s almost all you’re gonna see)
    • be comfy with basic core utils (mv, cp, chmod, …)
    • choose a shell (bash, fish, …) and set up some useful aliases/abbreviations
    • fzf or something similar does wonders (also replaces things like dmenu)
    • terminal multiplexers are used instead of window managers
    • some applications allow you to do some graphics (like mpv to play video)
    • there is more advanced stuff you can do with frame buffers
    • there are terminal browsers like w3m or lynx
    • a good extensible text editor is essential (vim, nvim, emacs, helix, …)
    • research some cli applications for your usecase (cal (calendar), neomutt (email), …)

    Over time your collection of aliases and scripts will grow to make common tasks you do easier.







  • I understand the end result you want to achieve, but what do you mean with “parse a rss reader through ffplay”? Parsing is taking in a string (text) and building some datastructure from it (like an AST). You can parse a rss feed (it’s XML) but I don’t get what parsing a rss reader is. Also “through ffplay”? You want ffplay to parse your rss for you? Or do you want to parse rss and than have ffplay somehow display the result (the news headlines taking from the feed)? ffplay displays videos and images (I use it as my only video player lol). If you want to render some text underneath a video stream I think you need ffmpeg first and than pipe the result into ffplay.


  • Speed of a package manager should never be a major concern nowadays.

    I would like to disagree with this. It’s not just updates. Sometimes I add and remove a bunch of packages back to back to test stuff out or check soft dependencies or pull/remove dependencies for projects I am checking out and compiling or switch between prepackaged/compiled versions. For example I was once testing the difference between wine and wine-stable-ubuntu in combination with winetricks installed/uninstalled. That is four configurations and you might visit each one more than once. I once saw a classmate use the fedora package manager in real life and I thought it was quite slow. I am happy with pacman, it really rips through packages which is convenient.





  • I don’t see why the moderation tools couldn’t just be improved on Lemmy. The new moderator view has been very useful for me as a moderator. We already have Lemmy and Kbin. The Sublinks about page doesn’t say how it is going to be different/better than the existing options apart from moderation tools. On top of that it is made in Java instead of Rust? That’s just going backwards in my opinion… This post also does not state why you guys are interested in a Lemmy alternative. You could have named some issues you have with it and why something else would be better(just like the Sublinks guys could have done in their about page). I started my communities here and put a lot of effort in them. I can’t just switch instances without destroying most of the work done. The language used here really makes it sound like this instance is on borrowed time. Being able to transfer communities to another instance would be nice…


  • I completely hid my tabs with custom css and I’ll never go back. With something like vimium-c you can switch tabs with vim-like bindings and an fzf-like menu. If you have lots of tabs, the fzf way is way faster to pick out a specific tab than it is to look for it in a tab row (or column). If you have few tabs, you don’t even need to see them to know where they are. I’m being very serious. Tabs are bloat. I recommend trying it out if it is something for you.

    (edit) On top of that, it looks so clean. You get a bit more space for the actual content (I also hide my url bar, it pops up when you use it). It fits right in with a keyboard focus workflow, you get consistent keybindings across vim and your browser (I use the same keybinds for switching buffers in vim so it feels the same).
