    Is there anything better (smarter) than sed?

    This sed is seriously beginning to crawl on my nerves and IDK how long it will take before I kick it in its back out of my OS! I have this universal file Saves_trick.txt which I copy inside each game's main dir which then I edit manually to create a link to the original saves dir. But I wanna...

    Nvidia is going down on a suicidal road, just like AMD were 10 years ago

    The last two driver versions along with latest mpv version 0.37 used to break any video I was watching and this always happened after resuming the system from suspend. Shortcut keys were not functioning properly and attempting to exit fullscreen would lead to something very close to this, along...

    My way of running almost any Windows game that isn't preliminary prepared for Linux

    As you probably know there are some games for Windows that have been prepared for Linux - either by Vavle, sometimes by GOG or another platform. But these games do not always run as expected. Not to mention that quite often there aren't enough seeders (if any at all, even if the game is...

    [hint] How to perform a fast library override in Wine within seconds

    Some of you prefer to use Lutris and other tools for gaming but guys like me prefer the old-fashioned way - by doing a library override in Wine. For the most of the games it's enough to just place the DXVK and VKD3D libraries where the game.exe is located. However, for some games, like those by...

    Solved Is there a way to display the result of a command on the same line?

    For instance, you have an echo message, followed by && and the next command. This usually results in this: "echo message" "the result of the next command". Is there a way to instruct terminal to display these two lines on the same line, like this: "echo message" "the result of the next command"?

    Have you seen a bigger one?

    Look at that Greek beast (an orange)! It's juicy, fresh and weighs 414 grams! o_O Have you seen any fruit that is a lot bigger than usual? If you have pictures, post them, let's "wow" together. :)

    Solved CLI tool better than stat?

    Is there any CLI tool that is better and can replace stat? Stat is too limited and... incompetent, for the lack of a better word. Sometimes for different reasons I need to have the OS install date which I print with stat -c %w / but that prints the date in the weirdest possible format which...

    Solved Resetting custom icons settings?

    I'm thinking about changing my storage devices to letters similar to the way in Windows (/C, /D, /E and so on). Up until now I have always mounted them as /media/device-space, like /media/1000GB, for instance. But the terabytes that I have are beginning to run out and soon I will have to buy...

    If you want Arch but don't wanna deal with CLI installation

    If you want Arch but you don't wanna deal with CLI installation, about 18 months ago I found an easy way to achieve that. Nowadays I'm installing Arch with CLI (altough I haven't reinstalled it in over a year, so I've pretty much forgotten the whole procedure) but as someone who took a lot of...

    Have you ever had this problem with Steam?

    Have you ever had this weird problem with Steam? https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/4142816719796559043/ It doesn't prevent me from playing games, it's just annoying. If I close any of the two instances, both are closed and if after that I start Steam again, it works just fine...

    I did what "experts" used to say was impossible

    First to say: this ain't a support topic, I'm just passing by to brag about something I did. Something all "experts" kept telling me for a whole year it was impossible, namely - to return back to my favourite video driver and probably the last kernel that has ever shown resistance to a sudden...

    How to rip an audio CD using FFMPEG CLI?

    I'm using this script to convert mka (the audio track of a mkv) to wav. But I'm wondering - what do I have to add/remove to/from this script in order to make it rip an audio CD and make the output files WAVs with the already predetermined specs? #!/usr/bin/env bash for name in *.mka; do...

    [SOLVED] Is there a way to force the terminal to execute a command?

    For some time now gnome-terminal seems to be ignoring the command "exit". If you just open the terminal and type "exit", that does close the terminal. But if it's like "[your command] && [your command] && exit", the terminal ignores "&& exit" and it remains open after the execution of "your...

    Case insensitive aliases?

    I wasn't sure if this topic is for the CLI subforum but since the question is partly about CLI, I decided to put it here. I have over 200 aliases which I don't wanna nor I wanna redefine with capital letters, so I'm wondering if there's something to write in ~/.bashrc where the aliases are...

    [info, Firefox] Disabling picture in picture

    As probably some of you don't know, "Picture in picture" is a very annoying mode of browsers which works like this: you're watch a video on youtube or facebook, then you decide to scroll down to read comments and listen to the video. But the browser decides to pop-up the same video in a smaller...

    Script to remove certain strings from SRT files?

    Can anyone give me a script to remove square brackets (these: [ ]) and everything BETWEEN those brackets from SRT files? And ofc to save the changes as if you've pressed Ctrl+S. The idea is to put the script into an .sh file and to use it to do its thing on all SRT files in a directory (bulk...

    Port forwarding - how?

    I've never done this before (port forwarding), so I need some help. When I run a python http server, it opens only locally with address 0.0.0.0 and the port I've chosen. But nobody outside my local network can access it, so I was told I should forward the chosen port through the router settings...

    Can a directory be shared via ssh with user & pw to access it?

    I asked KGIII to write an article about this, if he knows how, but anyone's welcome to answer as well. I tried using nginx but I'm not that advanced and whatever tutorials I saw were way too complicated. Then I tried other methods to setup an FTP server for file sharing between me and my best...
