Not sure I understand either but when I need to tinker with devices from another network through the Internet I usually rely on Tailscale or setup my own dedicated VPN using e.g OpenVPN.

Because it’s a tool by one of the biggest, if not THE biggest, corporation ever made. It’s nothing more than a way to lock-in users deeper in an ecosystem of extortion and learned helplessness.

Through Windows, computer users discover that they have a black box at work and then at home. It is NOT their computer. It is a computer that they are allowed to use a certain way. This then is extended in a myriad of ways, through other tools, e.g mobile phone, and services, e.g Office360, reinforcing that behavior. It becomes a second nature to the point that computer users dare not even imagine HOW they want to use a computer. Instead they buy whatever they are allowed to consume.

I do not care for Windows as an OS, I absolutely do HATE it though as a vehicle for cognitive enslavement. I do so keeping in mind the history of the company that made it. It is not a repeated random process, it’s a strategy. This is what I find disgusting.

Looks like a USB stick.

Superficial feedback but I can’t read more than 3 lines without syntax highlighting. Here I believe lines short for the text but makes code even harder to read due to new line. Maybe Codeberg allows for HTML embedding.

Now for a comment on the content itself, how is that different from aliases in ~/.bashrc? I personally have a bunch of commands that are basically wrapped or shortcuts around existing ones with my default parameters.

Finally, if the result is visual, like dmenu which I only use a bit in the PinePhone, then please start by sharing a screenshot of the result.

Anyway, thanks for sharing, always exciting to learn from others how they make THEIR systems theirs!

fclones https://github.com/pkolaczk/fclones looks great but I didn’t use it so can’t vouch for it.

FWIW just did a quick test with rmlint and I would definitely not trust an automated tool to remove on my filesystem, as a user. If it’s for a proper data filesystem, basically a database, sure, but otherwise there are plenty of legitimate duplication, e.g ./node_modules, so the risk of breaking things is relatively high. IMHO it’s better to learn why there are duplicates on case by case basis but again I don’t know your specific use case so maybe it’d fit.

PS: I imagine it’d be good for a content library, e.g ebooks, ROMs, movies, etc.

Neat ,wasn’t aware of it, thanks for sharing

if you use rmlint as others suggested here is how to check for path of dupes

jq -c '.[] | select(.type == "duplicate_file").path' rmlint.json

I don’t actually know but I bet that’s relatively costly so I would at least try to be mindful of efficiency, e.g

• use find to start only with large files, e.g > 1Gb (depends on your own threshold)
• look for a “cheap” way to find duplicates, e.g exact same size (far from perfect yet I bet is sufficient is most cases)

then after trying a couple of times

• find a “better” way to avoid duplicates, e.g SHA1 (quite expensive)
• lower the threshold to include more files, e.g >.1Gb

and possibly heuristics e.g

• directories where all filenames are identical, maybe based on locate/updatedb that is most likely already indexing your entire filesystems

Why do I suggest all this rather than a tool? Because I be a lot of decisions have to be manually made.

Half-life: Alyx, Baldur’s Gate 3, Elden Ring, … you get the idea. It’s not so much those apps per se, and I’d prefer them to be FLOSS too, rather it’s the amazing content and in such rare cases, I’m happy to financially support the creators.
