Scrolling is tmux is what I hate about it. I would prefer to use tmux since I’m use to it. But if someone can explain to me why I can’t just use my scroll wheel on my mouse.

I have my .bashrc print useful commands with a short explanation. This way I see them regularly when I start a new session. Once I use a command enough that I have it as part of my toolkit I remove it from the print.

I forget where I got it. But mine will do this if I double tap ESC after I sent the command without sudo. Very useful.

I should probably figure out what it was I added to do this.

Doesn’t issue the command. Have to hit enter. Useful to verify it’s the right command first.

With the way bash history can work Id be worried about running sudo rm -rf ./* by mistake.

Windows is a win for the proletariat at work. Linux was made for the proletariat for the revolution.

mkv and mp4 are the container not the codec. It’s a bit more complicated than just the file extension. You likely have more luck with mkv because of just more consistency as mkv is used more often when the file is meant to be played locally and not streamed.

So, you’re right. But just looking at the container isn’t going to ensure compatibility. The codec is significantly more impactful on whether playback is supported. That’s the part that’s literally taking the compressed video data and decoding it into viewable pixels/frames you see on your screen.

I’ve never downloaded an mkv that wasn’t just standard h264 or h265. So it’s still a good bet. But h265 is less universal and much more CPU intensive for playback (because it has significantly better compression).

I don’t disagree in general. However, my mom has been running Linux with a Windows XP skin for almost 8 years now without knowing she’s using Linux. Literally just keeps her from running a random .exe and she does everything on a browser anyway.

Plex still good for the boys that bought the lifetime pass. I understand why people would change. But it’s still the best plug and play option. Waiting until they break the “lifetime” thing and fuck us over.
