Personally between downloading music from youtube with yt-dlp and bandcamp I don't feel like I'm missing out.

If you find out a way of ripping blu-rays with libre software or find some tools that look like they could be assembled to solve the issue, do share! I don't feel like doing it myself for now because I have only 5 blu-rays but maybe it would be simple to change my existing script to adapt to blu-ray. Have you tried using dvdbackup or lsdvd on a blu-ray? Both programs rely on libdvdread, maybe it works on blu-ray too. In that case I think it wouldn't be too hard to adapt dvd2mkv to blu-ray.

Hey I finished my ripping guide and ended up writing my own script which uses only libre software (dvdbackup, lsdvd, mkvmerge and jq). Worked great for my collection of ~350 dvd. Check it out!

I would rather own my files on my phone like it's the year 2000 than my devices becoming useless whenever $streaming_service shuts down or changes policy like it's the year 1984...

Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux in c/linux

[–] ertai 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't understand why they mention programmable keyboards there. Buying a programmable keyboard to be able to rebind your keys is silly when it can be made entirely through software. On X11 for example you can load a .Xkeymap file and set your keyboard mappings this way. I use this to have a modified dvorak keymap with Altgr+auoeidhtns giving [{(|=+)]}] on the home row for instance, very convenient. Then I use my window manager i3 to rebind mod+p to send Ctrl+V using xdotool (because mod+p seems more vim-like) and I've set my terminal urxvt to treat Ctrl+V as paste. if all software supported the Sun copy paste keys then I could send those keys instead of Ctrl+V.

Note-taking in vim/neovim in c/neovim

[–] ertai 3 points 3 weeks ago

For now I would recommend orgmode, neorg does not have all the features of org yet. It's important to note orgmode also has awesome plugins like org-roam.

You can convert all your markdown files to org in one go using pandoc.

Is a terminal with multiple cell sizes possible? (self.no_stupid_questions)

submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by ertai to c/no_stupid_questions

To my understanding:

Many terminals are capable of displaying multiple fonts at the same time, say latin unicode characters in font foo and japanese unicode characters in font baz. In urxvt at least, it is also possible to have one font in a certain size and the next font in another size. However, no font can have a size bigger than the base size, the size of a terminal cell.

Why is it not possible to have multiple terminal cell sizes? For exampleso one line has terminal size 8 and the next line has terminal size 12.

Hi, does anyone know of a program that will automatically lower sound / set a maximum sound level so as to prevent hearing loss? Preferably something that works with mpd.
