Have something you use every day that you think might be useful to others? Post it here. Here’s one of mine: #!/bin/bash # The output is similar to what you'd see by simply running pacman -Ss "search term" # but each package name is prepended with a number. If you wish to install any of the # pac…

Some aliases that I use: A nice markdown editor with the code package. Make the window wide enough, then use “Ctrl-K D” to open preview too: sudo pacman -Syu code # install code first alias md='/usr/bin/code-oss -n' md README.md Then for those who want easier commands but don’t want to le…

Is that last very different from: alias pacdiff='DIFFPROG=meld suc pacdiff' in operation? Oh - and replace “suc” with “sudo” if you prefer it :grin:

[image] freebird54: Is that last very different from: Not necessarily (if you already know your configs and envs), but eos-pacdiff takes care of many different environments and configurations as well. Likely in your environment eos-pacdiff does about the same as your alias.

I think it mainly depends on whether I have the mouse in hand, or fingers on keyboard - now that Welcome opens on my preferred tab! Hadn’t thought of trying to call eos-pacdiff directly though… :grin: Also, sometimes I’m on a Arch-based setup without the EndeavourOS repo - though the number of those…

Just out of curiosity I tried to compare execution time (user time) for the different random functions (10000 iterations with 30 repeats for some statistics). searchword=$(echo ${searchwords[$(echo "${!searchwords[@]}" | sed -e "s, ,\n,g" | shuf -n1)]}) (31179 +/- 64) ms searchword=$(tr ' ' '\n' <<…

[image] vlkon: Not sure if that is of any significance since I want to generate like 1 random wallpaper per day… [image]

Hey, I paid for that CPU so I want to use every damn cpu core/thread it has. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

You were warned… :upside_down_face: [image]

The best thing about arrays is that they occupy a contiguous part of memory, which makes makes it possible to access any element by its index. It takes the same amount of time to read item 0 and item 10000, you don’t have to iterate through all of the array to find the element at a given position. I…

Here is the best alias ever: alias 🐱='cat' It works flawlessly.
