All Hail Midnight Commander!

[Farley Flud]

Midnight Commander is, hands down, the absolute best file manager+
for GNU/Linux:

https://midnight-commander.org/

_I_ use it exclusively and therefore it MUST be damned good.

MC is fast and versatile and beats ALL that GUI shit that the
crippled distros offer.

But MC was once, not too long ago, on the verge of extinction.
However, concerned people got together to bring it back and
are continuing to maintain it.

Lets give a hearty hail to these MC developers. They, as well
as countless and nameless others, make GNU/Linux truly the greatest
OS in the history of technical man.

By the way, the fantastic text editor Cooledit is based on the
code for the internal text editor of MC.

Check it out:

Don't be a fucking distro lackey all your life.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

If I'm going to use an ncurses file manager, I'll use vifm. Like mc, it
can inspect zip files.

However, mostly I get by quite well with cdargs, find, grep, bash completion,
and common unix commands like cp, rm, rmdir, and mv.

All you mc lackeys better shut the fsck up! :-D

I mostly use mc when I need to move a lot of files into one folder or
vice versa. It's a nice tool but a bit unwieldy for single files.

Also pushd/popd are pretty nice sometimes.

You should try cdargs. Once installed, add this to your .bashrc file:

source /etc/cdargs-bash.sh

(There is also a cdargs-tcsh.csh version).

This adds some shell functions to your environment.

Then cd to where you want, and type the "mark" command. To get to that
directory (e.g. /home/user/development/git) later, type "cdb git".

If you have bash completion installed, you can use tab-completion as well:

$ cdb git/<tab>...

Post by rbowman
alias cfs='cd $SRC_DIR/net/cfsd

$ cdb cfsd

Running cdargs itself brings up a list of marked directories, and offers other
comands; "man cdargs".

I'd assume it would persist between terminal sessions, and also be a
named system rather than just pushing to a stack.
I might install it, that sounds super useful.

It does a lookup.

Try it. You can delete it if you don't like it.

The big problem with pornography is defining it. You can't just
say it's pictures of people naked. For example, you have these
primitive African tribes that exist by chasing the wildebeest on foot,
and they have to go around largely naked, because, as the old tribal
saying goes: "N'wam k'honi soit qui mali," which means, "If you think
you can catch a wildebeest in this climate and wear clothes at the same
time, then I have some beach front property in the desert region of
Northern Mali that you may be interested in."
So it's not considered pornographic when National Geographic
publishes color photographs of these people hunting the wildebeest
naked, or pounding one rock onto another rock for some primitive reason
naked, or whatever. But if National Geographic were to publish an
article entitled "The Girls of the California Junior College System
Hunt the Wildebeest Naked," some people would call it pornography. But
others would not. And still others, such as the Spectacularly Rev.
Jerry Falwell, would get upset about seeing the wildebeest naked.

When you reboot Windows, reopening Terminal will bring up the number of
tabs you had open before rebooting, but the tab titles will be reset,
and the directories you were last logged to will revert to the default
(which you can set).

So it's halfway there.

That's another of your sentences in which one can say a lot about.

For a start, I don't believe the "exclusively" word on your sentence.
I'm pretty sure I saw one of your videos in which you displayed a
graphical file manager.

Post by Farley Flud
and therefore it MUST be damned good.

Then, in your videos about Linux (ie: not the ones in which you are
dreaming about what you would do to others if you where able to get out
of your asylum), you show your way of using Linux is the worst possible
way of using Linux. So it would mean it's the worst tool ever. Or, as
it's not the fault of the tool if you are unable to use it correctly,
one need to read the manual and not your claims about it.

In fact, it's a TUI, so it's as close as possible as a GUI file manager
when a command line is more efficient. So that means you are a mouse
lackey who can't use properly a keyboard trying to hide it at all costs.
But, once again, you lose in you claims.

Unrelated to the sentence, but related to the tool, I tried it years
ago. When GUI file managers didn't exist on Linux. So I was eager to
have something useful to avoid the command line. But MC wasn't that good
and as I was learning the command line. So, the more I learned the
command line, the more I liked it and I never really used MC even if it
was really appealing in the beginning.

Post by Farley Flud
MC is fast and versatile and beats ALL that GUI shit that the

Every distro offers a terminal which provide a command line better
suited than your way of trying to use it to try impress your asylum's
roommates. No need of the GUI shit you are using even if you claim
otherwise.

So what? A text editor which can't compete with vim based on a part of a

If you are limited in what you can learn, you prove in every message,
you are boundless in the ways you can show your mediocrity. Each time
you speak about something, you have to prove you don't know what you are
talking about. The real issue is that DFS is using your arguments
against Linux. And in this way, you are, as always, a Windows advocate.

Your inability to do something with Linux doesn't prove it's impossible
to be done, it only proves you are unable to learn how to do something.
So,, this link is not the only one which proves you wrong, it's only the
first one in a ten seconds research because I have no more time to spend
educating you and to prove you wrong for others who could use your
message against Linux :

Post by Farley Flud
You may think that you are progressive but you are just another stunted
distro lackey.

In fact, your message proves that you are more a distro lackey than me.
Because, to my knowledge, no distro provides Swaywm as a default WM, so
I had to install it by myself, which is, unlike your claim, not what a
distro lackey would do. When you can't do what's not installed by default
by your distro, makes you a distro lackey. And your inability to compile
the kernel is just another proof.

Videos are useful for some purposes and useless for others.

In this case, a program tutorial, videos are useless. This

Needless to say, I did not view the video. Why should I waste
10 MINUTES when the same information can be packed into 10
seconds of text?

The programs she recommends are only GUI wrappers around
ffmpeg. They can allow a novice to avoid the steep learning
curve that the ffmpeg CLI requires, but, as with all GUI wrappers,
they cannot express the full potentiality of the CLI.

It is always better to wrestle with the CLI. In time, the

government high official visited him during the last days of his life he
saw he was busy learning Latin in his bed. He asked him something to the
effect of, "Why on earth are you studying Latin at your age and
condition?" To which he responded something like, "My medicine is for my
body, and Latin is for my brain."

Borman was probably a high school teacher or something, and now she's
using her experience in dealing with various OS to help her brain keep
going, I think.

I think part of the reason she does videos is to keep her brain
functioning.

Probably the biggest part is a desire to make $bucks from
Google. I don't know how that works but she has 54K subscribers
and that must bring in something.

I seldom partake of YouTube instructional videos but whenever
I do I usually encounter another "talking head" and that really
infuriates me. It makes me shout at the screen: "I don't want
to see your ugly mug! I want information!"

Very few of these YouTubers keep their ugly heads out of their
videos.

By the way, I understand that YouTube has LOTS of ads but since
I always use yt-dlp to view videos I will never see them.

Linux must've become popular. Even computer newbies must by now hate
Windows.

I give it a good chance that the code monkey cro-magnon "DFS" has
installed every major form of linux on his various computers, and every
now and then licks the screen in joy, saying "If not Physfit's dick, why
not Linux then?".

There's no reason for him (her) to be in COLA other than learning even
more about linux.

No.

Newbs generally like easy to use GUIs like Windows or Macs. That's why
the Linux community has spent so much effort building a dozen desktop
GUIs environments.

Yes, I've installed MANY Linux distros to metal in the past 20 years.
But right now I only have Kali Linux installed in Windows WSL.

I first tried Red Hat 4.2 in 1997 for a short while. Should've stuck
with it, to learn *nix if nothing else. But the job market was all
Windows and MS Office, and I was already doing well there.

In 2004 I was perusing a computer magazine and saw a Novell ad
indemnifying Linux users from lawsuits against Linux. I thought that
was cool, so I took another look at Linux, and found cola.

Doesn't Iran still stone their chimps to death for homosexuality?
Better be careful about the homoerotic fantasies you post.

Did you see the brave Iranian who took off her clothes and walked around
in her underwear?

I wonder if that shit country full of weak, backward, insecure males
like you will murder her for it.

"The university’s public relations director said the woman was suffering
from mental health issues." Yeah bullshit. She suffers from severe
oppression at the hands of wimpy males who wilt at the thought of
competing with a woman.

This can be a decent place to learn Linux and some programming even, but
reading a few books and using a bash shell is much better.

* How Linux Works: What Every Superuser Should Know
* Unix Power Tools
* a book on shell scripting
* the Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard document


And if you're feeling exceptionally squirrelly, look at systems
programming books such as:

* The Linux Programming Interface by Kerrisk
* Linux System Programming by Love
* Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment by Stevens
* Low Level Programming by Zhirkov
* https://linux-audit.com/elf-binaries-on-linux-understanding-and-analysis/

For IT Soopermen like you and Feeb, who claim writing an OS is easy,
this should all be second nature.


I came across this nice chart recently:

https://bernardteo.me/nus/CS2106%20Reference.pdf

That was created by a stellar undergrad student (bachelor's in both
applied math and computer science, both with high distinction, from
National University of Singapore).


OSes and programming and databases and tech is endlessly interesting.
