I agree with the FUCK COPYRIGHT statement, but copyright law and patent law have nothing to do with each other. please stop mixing these two concepts together. Richard Stallman has a great presentation where he discusses patent law, I think it is called "Patent law, danger to programmers" or something close to that.

hi, I just found this software that might be interesting to you: https://github.com/beandog/bluray_info the author also made a utility for regular dvd. I have not made any tests.

you might want to have a look at this software: https://github.com/beandog/bluray_info makemkv is not libre software.

If you find out a way of ripping blu-rays with libre software or find some tools that look like they could be assembled to solve the issue, do share! I don't feel like doing it myself for now because I have only 5 blu-rays but maybe it would be simple to change my existing script to adapt to blu-ray. Have you tried using dvdbackup or lsdvd on a blu-ray? Both programs rely on libdvdread, maybe it works on blu-ray too. In that case I think it wouldn't be too hard to adapt dvd2mkv to blu-ray.

emacs has everything on this list I think.

Hey I finished my ripping guide and ended up writing my own script which uses only libre software (dvdbackup, lsdvd, mkvmerge and jq). Worked great for my collection of ~350 dvd. Check it out!

I don't understand why they mention programmable keyboards there. Buying a programmable keyboard to be able to rebind your keys is silly when it can be made entirely through software. On X11 for example you can load a .Xkeymap file and set your keyboard mappings this way. I use this to have a modified dvorak keymap with Altgr+auoeidhtns giving [{(|=+)]}] on the home row for instance, very convenient. Then I use my window manager i3 to rebind mod+p to send Ctrl+V using xdotool (because mod+p seems more vim-like) and I've set my terminal urxvt to treat Ctrl+V as paste. if all software supported the Sun copy paste keys then I could send those keys instead of Ctrl+V.

For now I would recommend orgmode, neorg does not have all the features of org yet. It's important to note orgmode also has awesome plugins like org-roam.

You can convert all your markdown files to org in one go using pandoc.

I don't know, nothing struck me as new, the only difference is the presentation and the mouse (but I prefer keyboard). the example given for animated indicators already exists using ASCII escape codes. my zsh already has syntax highlighting on the prompt indicating mistyped commands, and suggest possible completions with a tui (with vim bindings). I could go on but anyway my point is everything they show is already possible with a tui, the only reason a clicky clicky solution doesn't exist is because keyboard are freakin better and faster. They are right that we need a terminal evolution/revolution, but it's not the mouse.

 

Long live Julian Assange.

 

To my understanding:

Many terminals are capable of displaying multiple fonts at the same time, say latin unicode characters in font foo and japanese unicode characters in font baz. In urxvt at least, it is also possible to have one font in a certain size and the next font in another size. However, no font can have a size bigger than the base size, the size of a terminal cell.

Why is it not possible to have multiple terminal cell sizes? For exampleso one line has terminal size 8 and the next line has terminal size 12.

 

Hi, does anyone know of a program that will automatically lower sound / set a maximum sound level so as to prevent hearing loss? Preferably something that works with mpd.
