Gonna be a 🤓 for a moment. Since this "Every rule has an exception" itself is a rule and thereby must have an exception then there must be a rule which has no exceptions so not every rule has an exception. Because of this this statement cannot be true.

Ah, the good memories of being bullied and being told to kill myself

Sorry I looked up the right terms now. It's gasoline pumps and CNG is the one which isn't in every station.

No, not much in my view happened. If you mean the car line I don't want to doxx myself as it's very close to my home

Heard some booms outside and not even 10 minutes later there was a long car line for a nearby gas station (actually we call it "پمپ بنزین" or benzin pump station here, gas pumps aren't in every station so not sure gas station is the right name)

Ghostty in review: how's the new terminal emulator? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Why does it have a GTK dependacy? It makes it noticeably slower to open on KDE compared to kitty

Programming languages in c/programmerhumor@lemmy.ml

[–] jroid8@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Rust

no undefined behavior outside unsafe
performance
package management
lots of crates
it's enums
Result and Option
makes good practices easy and bad ones hard

Other languages are cool too (except java) but they often miss half of what I like about rust. I like C but debugging undefined behavior is hard even with valgrind

Should I wipe and reinstall my arch system? in c/archlinux@lemmy.ml

[–] jroid8@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Having a single file config simplifies backups and that's tempting but I don't want to lose the arch wiki (I know some info is general to Linux but some isn't), AUR and other stuff that I miss once I lose it to an even more niche OS. I can try it on a virtual machine at some point

Should I wipe and reinstall my arch system? (lemmy.world)

This installation of arch is 2 years old at this point and there's nothing wrong with it and I want to do a clean reinstall to feel more fresh. But I've been constantly delaying it for a long time because I'm scared breaking something and also not having my laptop fully functional for even a day isn't a pleasant thought.

The benefits I think is being able to handpick which files I want to keep and which packages I would reinstall since the thought of how many files and packages are left over from when I momentarily needed them is really unpleasent. But this habit of reinstalling the OS as a cleanup method might be a bad one I've brought myself from the time I used windows which was justified back then but it may no longer be here since I can achieve what I want with a much more simple and less risky method

So am I being an idiot here? Or should I go for it?

Edit: I do have bleachbit but the benefit of a reinstall is that only system files, essential packages and my personal files are kept (actually copied out, formatted and copied back in for my files). These two aren't the same

Edit 2: Thank you everyone for their answers, it's clear that I don't have that much reason to wipe my system at the moment. It might be a better learning experience to look for orphan files and packages

Closer number keys (lemmy.world)

For over 2 years my only problem when using vim is how hard to reach the number keys are. They make jumping between lines easier but despite my attempts to get used to the far number keys, some are still not easy to reach like 6. I only have ideas of what would an ideal solution could look like but I don't know how to execute them. One is to make caps lock some kind of modifier which turns home row keys into number keys, but because of the limitations of terminal emulators even if I turn caps lock into an obscure modifier (in kde settings) I won't be able to use it in neovim. I would appreciate any ideas that help. I'm using kde plasma with wayland under arch linux.

Edit: please no mention of split keyboards. Even if I can afford them I prefer not getting used to something I have to carry additionally with my laptop
