For example:

1. Is there an alternative to GitHub Desktop that works for Codeberg or do I just have to use the CLI for it?

2. If I have to use the CLI, is using git for Codeberg any different than using it for GitHub?

Recently, I can't access any GitHub repositories without having to sign in. This is becoming frustrating.

I'm looking for an alternative to switch to that has good git push/pull speeds (I've visited one which speeds are slow for me).

Any good options? Would one of the following be good?

• Codeberg
• Gitlab

Been playing the Re-Console modpack for Minecraft to get that nostalgic feel. Since Iris was installed, I downloaded the "Super Duper Vanilla" shaderpack to see what Minecraft could have been like back in TU1 if the cancelled Super Duper Graphics pack was around then.

The old crafting menu is very nostalgic too. I still think it's better than the recipe book in vanilla Java.

It's sad to see such a great project come to a close. I've been using ArcoLinux for years and have come to love it.

I wish the ArcoLinux Team and the Beta testers all the best.

I've got political words, certain names, and "Daily Screenshot" because I'm tired of seeing those posts. Tempted to add AI to it.

From fast4x in the RiMusic Telegram channel:

Hi all, i can only say that i am very sorry and that unfortunately the project cannot continue to be a music streaming app based on YouTube.

It is unfortunate this happened to such a good FOSS music streaming app. Hopefully, someone can continue it.

To all the people who contributed to RiMusic all this time, thank you for making a great music streaming app!

As well, thank you fast4x for working hard each week to get RiMusic to where it is.

So, I've recently binged a YouTube channel called Linux Creative Project, which documents someone's transition from macOS to Linux for creative work. They go over their hardware, software, and their experiences/problems during the transition.

Any of you know any other YouTube channels that do something similar (Documenting their transition to Linux)?

So, I've decided that I want to reinstall Arch on my laptop, but this time separate /home from root, and encrypt it using LUKS.

I made a backup of my current, unencrypted home directory (I didn't separate them initially) using:

sudo rsync -aXS --exclude='/*/.gvfs' /home/. /mnt/home/.

Once I wipe Arch and reinstall it, encrypting /home, would I be able to transfer my unencrypted files to the encrypted /home partition, and have them become encrypted?

I made this Python menu-driven CLI script for yt-dlp. It guides you through a series of menus to download content from a YouTube URL.

If anyone is interested, feedback would be greatly appreciated as only I have tested this so far, and I want to make sure it works for other people's systems.

If you encounter any issues or bugs, let me know so I can fix them!

Edit: I should mention: This is not a pipx package. That was never the intention developing this initially. I might make it a package in the future, but for now, it is just a project directory.

I'm not creative, so I made these templates for everyone.

Alternative template with D: face on bottom:

So, I'm making an install.sh script to download script files from GitHub to the user's system. I know downloading to the home directory (~/script_dir/) is typically frowned upon.

For context, this is a directory containing python files, README, requirements, etc. pip dependencies need to be installed before launch. The script would be executed through main.py.

Where would be a good place to download to that won't clutter the user's home directory?

Edit: The script is a CLI interface for yt-dlp to make it easier to use. So, it will download files to specified directories on the user's system.

Edit 2: Appreciate the responses. I forgot to mention this script has a config file it uses for certain parameters, such as default download directory for each category. If a config file doesn't exist it creates one in the script's directory and dumps the default values from a default config file (YAML).

Some of you are mentioning this could be a PyPI package. Would I still be able to read/write my config files if I made this a PyPI package?
