@chris_spackman lol, sleep is for the weak.

By the way, it's deprecated, not depreciated. Different word altogether.

@lydiaconwell It depends on your desktop environment. Gnome lets you rename files exactly as you describe.
@itsfoss I just use Sublime text, which calls gcc or make for me.

I ran #Arch updates today and #VLC player stopped paying MP4 files.

On my machine, installing the following plug ins fixed the issue.

sudo pacman -S vlc-plugin-upnp
sudo pacman -S vlc-plugin-ffmpeg
sudo pacman -S vlc-plugin-x264
sudo pacman -S vlc-plugin-x265

@gerowen the term aggressiveness means how likely it is to clear RAM that will require a disk write because the data isn't already on a drive. It's a classic case of a poor choice of a name/term.

@gerowen Almost everything you read about swappiness is wrong. It's just the same incorrect stuff repeated again and again. I read the kernel source code to find out what it really does. It has nothing to do with when swap cuts in. You have no control over that. It actually sets a ratio that determines what type of RAM zone is preferentially swapped.

@bamboombibbitybop I think it probably means they created a fork and didn't add DEI or anything else questionable.
@thelinuxEXP @bloodaxe @ORSOrama Nor a form of Simpson.
@pinboard_pop Open-source is a development model, not a financial/revenue model. Open-source doesn't automatically mean free, although a lot (perhaps, the majority?) of open-source is free to use.
