In general, I’m with you
But sometimes I need to revert/comment out a code block, because another code part isn’t finished/working as it should.
Sure, it clutters code, but if I just comment out a function call and temporarily replace it with the workaround, it should imho stay in code.

Else the workaround will stay forever and the commented out code will act as a reminder, that this part isn’t clean yet.

But maybe it really is a case by case thing, where sometimes it’s better to branch it out for later merge - although that can get really messy, while having the future implementation commented out, others will also see, how it is supposed to work and don’t try to further extend the workaround, which makes future merging hell

Out of interest, how would your best practice look in such cases?

What if the script fails?

Thanks!
Probably good to know, if/when I switch to wayland

Yeah, sorry…
Was just skimming over your post and immediately after sending it, I read the Wayland part and that you already tried scrot

Well yeah, I guess the intention counts? ;⁠-⁠)

(Down votes didn’t came from me btw)

On i3 I’m using scrot and keyboard shortcuts to screenshot my whole desktop, a window or a region.

Currently not on my computer, but here they show how to do the different things, just by calling scrot with different arguments

So it was rather simple to setup

Although, it’s of course not spectacle and I’m not sure, if you want a faster integration for that specifically

Edit: ah, fuck… You already looked into scrot
Sorry, my bad… Don’t know anything practical about Wayland, sorry

Interpreted it the same, but I’m coming from C++

Just tried it, as I already had it downloaded for image manipulation and didn’t know about this feature

Works really reasonable well

Yeah, error reports seem to be some esoteric concept for some people…

I’m obviously doing the IT stuff for my family (although in the last years, I got out by saying, I’m doing Linux exclusively). So once I got a hysterical call, that the laptop is dead and nothing is working anymore.
So stupid me rushed over, just to find out that they just couldn’t receive emails, because their provider had a problem.

In my book, if a laptop is dead, there isn’t anything on the screen anymore - best case some BIOS stuff is happening.

I started to switch people over to Linux, at least the next generation and my near surroundings, and decline now most things on windows (or smartphones), because I officially haven’t worked with those operating systems since years, and all I do is just searching around and reading things, they could’ve done themselves, if they wouldn’t be too lazy to read.
I’m all open for people who are lost and need help, but then they mustn’t treat me like a fucking employee. I’m here to help you to solve your problems next time yourself, else my work here has no point.

Looking at the error reports and the user input logs, a rabbit couldn’t do worse…

rsync?

Yeah, can recommend that one too Although it sometimes seems to have some performance problems with a large amount of files - could be, that it’s already fixed though

I’m sporting a Framework 16 since a few months and had some battery problems at first. Due to work load, I couldn’t really get into the problem and something I changed or updated resolved it.

But I sent a mail to framework support at that time and the answer was just awesome.
Not just some typical 1st level response to update or restart, but real technical questions and obvious interest in my problem.
They even sounded a bit sad, that I couldn’t really tell them anything, because the issue resolved without me being able to pinpoint it.

On that note, I also have to say, that Tuxedo support was really good.
My Pulse 15 battery was starting to get a belly, and they sent me a new one without much questions - and no pay.
Now, after like 4-5 years, I have my old Pulse to my nephew and saw that the CMOS battery is dead. Again they just sent me a new one.

Some companies really deserve to get recommended.

Yeah, I’m with you, fuck Oracle - and not just for their DB

Yeah, on my laptop - because I travel with it and confidential data (like from my customers) could land in hands its not supposed to

No, in case of my desktop, because it’s easier to access it in case of failure

Hey, don’t you curse on my bread and butter! ;⁠-⁠)

The compiler optimization example (IIRC #6) was unexpected, when just looking at the code

CF, or their follow-up CFast, are still in industrial PCs - at least in the Beckhoff IPCs my (ok, more like “my customers”) Automat is sporting

Used as system storage and easy to swap for the customer in regards of backups, if something breaks

That one actually sounds pretty good!
I need to try it, thanks!

Edit: although I was more going in the direction of wormwood/absinthe with vodka - although I’ve tried that mix and it tastes like…I don’t remember

Yeah, FreeBSD OS absolutely awesome
Have nothing more to add…

Well, maybe: I wanted to setup my work server with FreeBSD and I really had trouble getting Linux VMs up and running
Still don’t know, what I did wrong, but I went the other way round and setup a Linux server, with a FreeBSD VM as “Gate-keeper” (my Wireguard every point), and so it secures my other stuff behind

But I really liked how nice it is to work with. Sadly I was too stupid to set it up right, with multiple services/containers/VMs I needed …

What data do you record, if I may ask, that’s not tracked with such apps?
