I created something perfect on accident yesterday, and I cannot show any of you.
Not because it is a secret or anything, just because I can't record it without it turning into total garbage.
It is beautiful and perfect I want to make a whole game out of it and also Gnome's screen recording thing just completely shits itself when I try to record it, so you'll just have to pretend you understand just how good this all is.
@aeva if you often work on the command line, they are useful tools: tmux is a terminal multiplexer (like screen), allows you to have multiple shells open in a single terminal, switch between them, disconnect, reattach them elsewhere etc. reptyr is a tool that “reparents” a program from one terminal to another. But never mind, for the time being we'll just use our imagination on your perfect creation 8-)
@aeva I mean, working in a terminal multiplexer is not painful, it actually makes a lot of things easier. But reptyr is … well, let's just say that it's better if one starts already in a tmux session 8-D
@lzg drinking water might not be the solution, but it's important to stay hydrated while fighting for human rights, so it can't hurt to get a glass of water
So, refineries don't want more crude oil.
Where's the bad news?
«Three tankers carrying North Sea Forties crude have been floating off European shores for more than two weeks without discharge, a sign of weakening demand from refineries in Europe and Asia.»

Coppia di cittadini venuta a vivere in campagna, alcune perle:
• giardino tappezzato di luci (a volte accese ininterrottamente per giorni) perché è troppo buio
• prato sostituito da sintetico perché c'è troppa manutenzione
• giro per campi e sentieri no perché chissà che bestie ci sono
• perché rane e rospi gracidano continuamente?
• ma sti uccelli che cagano ovunque?
• stradello che ci collega con la provinciale con pozzanghere fangose quando piove li costringe a lavare l'auto continuamente
• ma se nevica rimaniamo intrappolati?
• segnale telefonico/internet scarso e solo con alcuni gestori, perché?
• l'ippocastano sotto il quale hanno messo un gazebo (da noi sconsigliato) macchia cuscini, tende & c.
Il #Ponte_sullo_Stretto di Messina non si può fare. A norma di legge. Perché sul suo versante calabrese la struttura ricade per intero su una fascia di non edificabilità. Che è stata stabilita dall’Ispra nel 2015 durante lo studio sulle faglie attive in Italia.
L’ipotesi è che gli elaborati relativi al rischio sismico fossero quelli del 2011. Quando l’aggiornamento non era stato ancora effettuato. 🤦♂️
Ok, this is an extremely niche question, but I'm trying to work with a list of files in a Windows batch script, and one of the files contains two single quotes in the name, so the batch script is interpreting that as a command. Does anyone know of any way I can escape those single quotes programmatically? I can't simply add slashes to them because I don't have access to the filename. Should I pipe them to a text file and then munge the text file? I'm happy to give more information if necessary; this isn't a secret or anything. #Windows#BatchFile#programming#FediHelp#BoostsWelcome
P.S. If your suggestion is not to use a batch script to do this, believe me, I've considered it, but at the moment batch is what I've got. I'm not going to install an entirely new shell to do this fairly simple task and I don't like PowerShell enough to go to the trouble of scripting in that. If I were to write a non-shell program, I would probably write it in Python as that seems like the most reasonable option, but I remain convinced that there's a way to do this in a batch script.
@intransitivelie does wearing the filename in double quotes on use work? It's been a while since a I've done DOS/Windows batch, but something like "%var%" instead of %var% when using the loop variable?
@GhostOnTheHalfShell I wonder if it would be easier to just export the follow lists and do the filtering in your favorite spreadsheet or with grep or whatever
If the whole Windows Recall thing scares you and you are looking for options: For many people Linux just does the trick. If you need a browser, some office stuff, maybe a bit of image/media management, Linux absolutely got you covered. It probably will be annoying or something might be broken but that is the same with every operating system.
But before you install something, maybe have a chat with someone who knows a bit more about it to help you navigate the choices and to ensure that your workload is actually supported on Linux.
But it's no longer an OS just for experts. You can do almost anything graphically and a lot of shit just works.
@svenjacobs@tante honestly at this point in time I would recommend Debian. I would have recommended KDE Neon until recently, but I really don't like the direction Ubuntu (which Neon is based on) has taken recently, while I've been very satisfied with plain Debian.
