What application have you recently discovered?

He surely looks like seeing THE END in the eyes.

Nice. Genealogy program, which helps you track your family tree. I’ll take a look at that. I can go back about four generations. To go further, I’ll need to do some serious genealogical research - that is, check church and civil registry records.

For a tea break:

I tried Hollywood a month or so ago, and it made the fans in my computer go crazy. I ended up removing it.

Not a bad start if your are into genealogy. . . . good for tracing family historical trees when exploring the past.

Sounds interesting. The Extra repository lists it as “Flagged out-of-date on Date 26-04-13” … what might this mean?

In the USA this TV mini-series ignited a lot of interest in serious genealogical research back in 1997 and the early eighties.

My paternal aunt really got into this and gave me her findings. I ended up buying Family Tree Maker and doing some detective work on the internet. That’s how I found out that one of my paternal great great? grandfathers bought some of the acreage for the homestead.
After the US Civil War the federal government gave Union soldiers script (a form of money) and a deed document so they could get some land and start a new life. A lot of soldiers were not interested in farming so they would sell the script and deed document. My grandfather bought two 40 acre plots with military script. He was not in the military, so he had to have bought script from soldier(s). This brought the homestead up to 160 acres which was a lot back then.

Pudge

Forget hollywood. . . . just compile and install qt6-webengine. . . . I think that was the software that I tried installing a day or two back that literally ran for over an hour or two. . . just compiling. . .

That’s a great backdrop for any Hollywood movie that needs computer screens scenes running in the background as a backdrop. . . .

It’s curious it hasn’t been updated, but I was able to successfully build it with a simple version bump.

yay -G gramps
cd gramps
sed -i 's/^pkgver=.*/pkgver=6.0.8/' PKGBUILD
updpkgsums
makepkg -sri

On the original Gramps site is an update on 26-05-16.

That is the problem. Modern day C/C++ programs Compilation takes hours and in case of Linux Kernels at least half a day. So if we want to update a package in AUR, keep the system running for multiple hours to even a day.
Such a waste of electricity and time. Enlarges the carbon foot print substantially.

One of its goals. Fans go wrrr == I is so busy :wink:

Half a day is pretty extreme for a kernel build. Either you machine is extremely slow or you need some optimizations in makepkg.conf

Persepolis Download Manager

Small Download Manager. With scheduled downloads and support for downloading YouTube Videos (doesn’t work for me :slight_smile: )

I was looking for a tool that search words inside (text) files, anf found clapgrep.

It looks very nice, search results are properly formated, that tool was a very good surprise !

It is available as AUR package.

I dont know about KDE but gnome is doing this out of the box with “localsearch”.

Yes, but localsearch is about indexing, and I don’t want all my content (any dir any disk) to be indexed. Database and cpu usage would be quickly a problem.

More than this, searching for text inside “ASCII text” type files such as simple .toml file does not work (from my testing). So I consider Gnome localsearch useful for filename search, not more.

clapgrep parses dynamically a given directory for a given keyword : it is simple, and it works. And this was what I was looking for ! :slight_smile:

Love the name :rofl: grep without the antibiotics :pill:

I use silver searcher (ag) for text searches and fd and locate for files.

In KDE the tool comparable to clapgrep is KFind.

Not equivalent but comparable.
