Sometimes I think you young people are just making this shit up. Not that I didn’t laugh.

Bookmarked. I don’t know why. But, it is. Bookmarked now.

What rabbit hole have you lead me down… Now I can’t stop reading about BSD.

Haven’t checked my low level sound drivers in a long time - I’m using pipewire and wireplumber to control it all. Is ALSA still there at the bottom/as a dependency? Arch btw.

This about the IFS variable was eye opening! Thank you SO much! This is exactly what I was trying to understand, namely, how on earth the for-loop is smart enough to understand how to count when I haven’t specified a numerical interval (as I do in for instance C when I practice that). This just solved it all. Thanks! Now I also understand why my code gave me excessive outputs when I changed ls into ls -l. The IFS variable made the for-loop count every single blank space!!! :D

Reading this part of the Bash manual for the third time today, I think I finally understood it better, thanks to this part in particular:

[…]execute commands once for each word in the resultant list […]

In other words, whatever follows in is half expected to result in a list of words (items), each for which command is then executed. Beyond that, I guess I’d have to simply look at the logic behind for-expressions.

Thanks!

I was a teacher for some years and I absolutely understand your style of explanation. I don’t find it condescending at all! Thank you so much for the in depth guidance! Some of it I already knew, some of it I didn’t. Anyhow, a new perspective is always appreciated! :) God, Bash (GNU/Linux in general) is so much fun!

What a gem! Thanks for letting me know!

Sic! Thanks!

There’s a gdrive frontend for Linux?

I went Debian -> Ubuntu -> Lubuntu -> Mint -> [some obscure abandoned hobby distro] -> Arch. I’ve been on Arch for three years now.

Thanks! I’ll noodle it around a little. :)

Now THAT sounds like a smart solution! I’ll look into it! :) I can ask my ISP to give me a static address for my home. But something needs to prompt the ssh command “at home” to connect to my second computer, right (actually Termux on my Android phone)?
