Hello Lemmy,

InvidTUI is a cross platform Invidious client, which can:

• Browse, play and download YouTube audio and video
• Create, save and open m3u8 playlists
• Interactively switch between instances
• Change video and album art resolutions
• View and manage user feed, playlists and subscriptions

Among many other features.

In addition to the above, it also has a menu system, so that users need not remember all the keybindings, and instead select the required option from the menu to perform the desired operation.

This release contains the following new features:

• A HJSON based configuration format, where you can define custom keybindings as well
• Faster JSON parsing, thanks to jsoniter
• Create new folders and rename items within the filebrowser
• Automatically or manually configure the download directory from within the application
• Change thumbnail quality

I hope you enjoy this release, and any feedback is appreciated.

I've developed my first Rust program with some help of ChatGPT. The result just got its first release.

You can configure filesystems to host backup image files of devices in a json config file. You can specify the amount of backups for each device, preserving a static size and count.

Running dd_backup run will initiate the backup process, creating backups for all connected filesystems and devices which are configured.

Has some safety features, like checking fsck -n before writing or calls sync before unmount. Never be afraid of confusing if= and of= anymore when running dd 🙈.

dd_backup is designed to run on Linux systems, and you can also utilize it on a booted Linux live system to back up your Windows devices or others.

See the readme for more information.

One of my favorite command line tips: you can add 'comments' full of keywords to shell commands, which makes searching your command history easier.

> obscure-cmd --with-weird-flags -Qdt # searchable comment keywords

Presumably you're using something like fzf for history search, but this is still useful without it.

This is especially useful for cli tools with obscure names/flags, or when you can't remember where a particular log file is.

Some examples from my history:

tail awesomewm logs:

tail -f ~/.cache/awesome/logs -n 2000 # tail follow log awesomewm

fix linux clock drift:

sudo ntpd -qg && sudo hwclock --systohc # fix linux clock time drift

copy ngrok public url to clipboard:

curl -s http://localhost:4040/api/tunnels | jq ".tunnels[0].public_url" | tr -d '"' | tr -d '\n' | xclip -selection clipboard -i # fetch ngrok url uri, copy to clipboard

sign ssh and gpg, then refresh the emacs keychain env:

keychain --agents gpg,ssh --eval id_rsa <some-gpg-id> && emacsclient -e '(keychain-refresh-environment)' # sign ssh,gpg password, refresh emacs env

Another gpg one:

git config commit.gpgsign false # disable gpg signing for this repo

Pacman/pamac commands, like listing orphaned packages:

pacman -Qdt # list orphans
pamac list -o # list orphans

xprop - super useful for debugging window management, for some reason i can never remember what it's called:

xprop # mouse click window x11 linux describe info client helper whateveritscalled

Some helpers from my clawe project:

bb --config ~/russmatney/clawe/bb.edn -x clawe.sxhkd.bindings/reset-bindings # reset sxhkd bindings
bb --config ~/russmatney/clawe/bb.edn -x clawe.restart/reload # reload clawe

Aliases come to mind as well - in some cases that might be a better fit. I like this because it's so low-lift.

I need help with wget and I hope to find it here. My goal ist to mirror a site (the soon to be replaced website at work) and I tried to do so with wget. I am totally able to mirror the pages and filter out the unwanted file types.

My problem is this: on several pages (e.g. /internal/forms) there are linked files like this /files/12345/form1.docx. So wget doesn't save the file in the folder internal/forms but creates a new folder files/12345.

I understand why this happens but I really need the file in internal/forms and I can't find a solution - is there any way to achieve that? Thank you so much for your help!

Despite the pithy title, this is a unique and educational perspective about creative things you can do with bash.

A script in bash in combination with a script in C can help you solve a sudoku puzzle in a png file.

https://gitlab.com/christosangel/sudoku-solver-ocr

You can see the script in action in this video.

The main dependency is tesseract OCR, responsible for the oprical character recognition.

Another important dependency is imagemagick, responsible for the necessary image manipulation.

The file selection of the png image is done with zenity.

Feel free to give your feedback.
