I read エロゲ and haunt AO3. I’ve been learning Japanese for far too long. I like GNOME, KDE, and Sway.

  • What I want to do is install all of these Optional Dependencies that are part of the wine-staging package without specifying every one of them:

    Optional Deps   : giflib
                      lib32-giflib

                      lib32-sdl2
                      sane
                      libgphoto2
                      ffmpeg
                      cups
                      samba
                      dosbox
    

    --asdeps doesn’t seem to do that. apt has --install-recommended, I think, or something similar. And for all the bad things I could say about apt, that’s a nice feature.













  • I don’t really have a least favorite distribution. I mean, I guess between Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, openSUSE, Manjaro, and Gentoo, the least appealing choices to me are Manjaro and Gentoo. Manjaro is just Arch but worse, because the packages are old and likely to cause incompatibilities with AUR packages that need really up-to-date system packages, and I…don’t trust the maintainers to have configured everything better than I could have myself. Just based on history.

    Debian has ancient packages. That’s the only reason. I’d just end up using Flatpak packages or compiling from source.

    Any other distribution I could use, including Gentoo, but Arch is the sweet spot for me.







  • Kagi is the only search engine I use which has really good results and no junk links. …and you have to pay for it, of course. It’s a meta search engine but they use their own indexes for news results and Teclis, which indexes small commercial sites with fewer than 5 trackers. One of the cool features it added recently was an icon for identifying paywalled articles.

    I’d like to recommend Mojeek, my default search engine, but it still has a way to go. If you’re just looking for an “answer engine” rather than a general search engine…I guess an LLM probably isn’t a bad place to start?
