How to change context menu in "linux"

I want code to right click context menu on a file and if it is a .mp4, then convert that to a .mp3 of the same name

also include an option to play faster by +25 +33 +50 or slower by -25 -33 -50 (in a sub menu)

I understand this is different depending on your system, so answer how to do it for the people who use the same system as you

  • Well in this particular case, zcat failing with error on uncompressed text isn't a behaviour worth preserving.

    It should do the expected zcat behaviour, which is just print the text.

    I have a hard time imagining a scenario where you call zcat and would prefer an error rather than a useable output

  • I wouldn't call all this hoop jumping to reading common log files "doing it better".

    This is exactly the kind of arcane tinkering that makes everything a tedious time wasting chore on linux.

    At this point it's accepted that text files get zipped and that should be handled transparently and not be precious about kilobits of logic storage as if we were still stuck on a 80386 with 4 megs of ram.

  • Here's what we're gonna do. We're going to do the equivalent of x11 application network transparency but with wayland.

    Kind of like streaming a desktop with sunshine, but on an app by app basis.

    Also we're gonna make a client that work for it on android, windows and in a browser.

    Then I'm going to fuck you in the ass

  • Not improving existing software leads to stagnation.

    It's certainly a good part of why so much of linux is an awkward kludgy idiosyncratic mess to use.

    Whatever the first implementation does ends up being a suicide pact by default.

    Another option is to change cat to auto decompress compressed files, instead of printing gibberish.

  • Thanks !

    But still we shouldn't have to resort to this !

    Also, can't get the output through pipe

    for i in $(ls); do zcat $i || cat $i; done | grep mysearchterm

    this appears to work

    find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -I{} sh -c 'zcat "{}" 2>/dev/null || cat "{}"' | grep "mysearchterm"

    Still, that was a speed bump that I guess everyone dealing with mass compressed log files has to figure out on the fly because zcat can't read uncompressed files ! argg !!!

    for i in $(ls); do zcat $i 2>/dev/null || cat $i; done | grep mysearchterm

    zcat shouldn't error out if you try to zcat an uncompressed file, it should just output the damned file !

    There I said it !

  • Cumulatively pen and paper will add up to more effort. And I would person give up at some point. It would probably never enter my daily jabits. Realistically if on the scale everyday, the changes are so minute you won't notice the monthly and longer duration trends.

    It's really surprising there isn't a no bullshit option you could just buy

  • How do you automatically compile the daily readings into an excel file with graphs? Raspberry pi running opencv sending the time series to influx db and then grafana generate graphs for you home assistant health monitoring dashboard, along with the blood pressure monitor, continuous glucose monitor, pee ketone content, the pills dispenser and the rest of your fitness regimen?

  • Actually the question was, "which animalbcan I breed with?". I think it's important not to misrepresent the facts.

    As for rogers, they didn't have to pay Alliant because the court changed its mind after reading the french version of the contract. In the french version, it is clear the english contract means the plainly obvious interpretation, not the lawyery silent american comma bullshit!

    The deal was a five year term, that auto renews for five years unless you cancel it a year in advance.

    Alliant wanted to cancel the contract inside the first five year term, the gall of these lawyers!

    Expressing your needs, especially when related to health, can be delicate. Here’s a way to frame it that focuses on your health concerns and care, while also being considerate of the relationship:

    "Hey, I’ve been thinking a lot about my health, and I recently read that regular intimate activity, around 21 times a month, could help lower the risk of prostate cancer. I know this might sound like a specific number, but it's something I’d like to work towards for my well-being.

    I’d love for us to share more closeness not just for this reason but also because I feel it deepens our connection. I want to be open and honest with you about my needs, but I also want to make sure you're comfortable and that we find a balance that works for both of us.

    How do you feel about this?"

    On .LAN domains, how to stop firefox switching to https (when it's not available) and stop complaining about self-signed certificates when it is available ?

    I'm just so annoyed of fighting this all the time.

    If I can't figure this out I'm going to disable all https redirecting and all certificate errors off so I can have some peace

    EDIT: I do not wish to manage certificates I do not want to setup private key infrastructure I don't want to use real internet domain names I don't want to manually install certificates into browsers after fishing them out of my ephemeral virtual machines

    I just want to, add exception for *.lan for https auto redirect and auto-accept self-signed certificates as valid. This is not much to ask.

    Is there an addon that will load the entire page ?

    You know those websites that load a little bit of the page as you scroll, I want to search the whole thing !

    First it would be something that autoscrolls the page without needing me to keep the page down button pressed down for the entire duration, which can be a lot. I want to do other things while this happens

    Second, some websites, like facebook, actually UNLOAD from memory the data as you scroll further, defeating the simple scroll down. So, once the first one is done, I would like something that aggregates the entire page and loads it in a static second tab and/or saves it to a single file ?

    Is there anything like that, yet ?

    Anyone else getting youtube tabs loading forever ?

    BTW this is on gigabit internet

    It is quite annoyting, it prevents some other addons like close duplicates from running at all, as it does not run as long as there is something loading

    Fortunately, "Stop all" does work to shut them off

    This is a new behaviour from today, possibly ?

    I just gave it a try, openned 3 tabs and waited 60 seconds, they didn't finish loading.

    I tried turning off ublock, no effect

    NOTE :

    Issue has resolved itself after a reboot. This is a system with a amd 5950x and 64gb ram.

    How can I quickly "unclog" firefox when it runs out of memory (with 1000/2000 tabs)

    Hi, Once in a while I try to clean up my tabs. First thing I do is use "merge all windows" to put all tabs into one window.

    This often causes a memory clog and firefox get stuck in this state for 10-20 minutes

    I have recorded one such instance.

    I have tried using the "discard all tabs" addon, unfortunately, it is also getting frozen by the memory clog.

    Sometimes I will just reboot my PC as that is faster.

    Unfortunately, killing firefox this way, does not save the new tab order, so when I start firefox again, it will have 20+ windows open, which I again, merge all pages and then it clogs again !

    So far the only solution I have found is just wait the 20 minutes.

    Once the "memory clog" is passed, it runs just fine.

    I would like better control over tab discard. and maybe some way of limitting bloat. For instance, I would rather keep a lower number of undiscarded youtube that as they seem to be insanely bloated.

    In other cases, for most website I would like to never discard the c

    Are there addons to freeze javascript (toolbar button) and "discard tab to disk" (instead of plain discard)

    I don't like it when I go back to a tab and it reloads.

    For whatever reason, I want tabs to stop changing. I don't want the to reload from their javascript and I don't want the tab content to be deleted by the automatic discard (to save memory)

    If firefox decides to free memory, it should dump tab data and tab state to disk, not delete and reload from the website later.

    Sometimes the website won't exist later.

    Somewhat related but this one is hard : Some website dynamically delete content after you've scroll past it (firefox) this means even if you scroll to the "true" bottom, you can't ctrl+f search and you can't freeze the page and read it all at your leisure and preserve it for later.

    Currently my solution is to video screen capture the whole tab while scrolling slowly, this is quite a ridiculous step to take but apparently the only option to keep our data !?

    I would like to be able to perform the following actions from outside the browser, for example from a script

    Is there an addon to move selected tabs to a bookmark folder

    And I really mean move, not copy.

    The difference between copy and move is that copy... copies, but move dies copy->verify->delete original, in a single operation of the user.

    Preferably, that is reliable. Meaning it checks the bookmarks have been successfully created before closing the related tab.

    Also it should be clear what bookmark folder it is going to put the tabs in.

    Because the current bookmark manager, it is easy to end up dumping all your tabs in the parent folder of tge destination you indented.

    Or end up creating an extra child folder inside your intended destination bookmark folder

    Would also be nice to have quality of life features, such as a default bookmark folder.

    The option to put the bookmarks in a folder named with today's date.

    Maybe an option to specify a default destination bookmarks folder on a per site domain basis

    are there dedicated thin client linux distro, I mean moonlight, SPICE, waypipe, vnc, rdp, remmina, X.

    Either pxe netboot or usb or installable. Immuttable or not. Ramfs. With a host selector or fully auto login ?

    Ultra light 16 to 128mb storage 64-128mb ram. Or "full sized"

    And lastly, something like that, but that would run on a proxmox host.

    Is it possible for an addon to tell if a tab was closed, or pulled out ? (github issue, feature request)

    The select-after-closing-current addon is a way to pullout a random tab out of a window, which will not change the tab that was visible in that window.

    However, what it does is any closed tab, it will select the previously seen tab no matter what.

    The reason for my question, I would like to know if it is possible for the add-on to have a different behaviour for closed tabs from pulled out tabs.

    I wish, when I close a tab, to always select the tab to the right. But when I pullout a tab, I wish to always see the tab that was visible before the pullout.

    Which addon, will open multiple tabs, from the multiple URLs in my clipboard ?

    There used to be an addon, "Open tabs from clipboard URLs" but I can't seem to find it anymore.

    The best I find now is, an addon that opens a box, then you paste your URLs in it, then you press a button.

    That's not what I want. I want a toolbar button, I press it, the tabs open.

    So that I can opens large blocks of URLs.

    Also, I would like another addon which opens large blocks of URLs but does not load them immediately.

    I have LoadOnSelect3 for this, but the problem with that one, is that it opens special moz:// pages until you load the tab. And that breaks searching and filtering tabs because the tab title and URL are not the real ones.

    You should try Tab Manager Plus, it's the best Tab Manager IF you change the default settings ! (video demonstration)

    Tab Manager Plus Set to "Open in own tab by default" Set to "Dark mode" Set to "Vertical view" -- very important

    You can live search your tab titles to select them

    You can open all selected tabs in their own window

    You can close selected tabs

    You can "discard" tab contents (different from close, the tab is there but content is gone)

    You can highlight/select duplicate tabs

    You can hide not selected tabs

    You can pin selected tabs (unfortunately, they still only appear on the one window they are pinned to, they just get pinned to the left of the tab bar)

    You can drag and drop selected tabs to another window of your choice, both the representation of that window in the TMP tab, but also into the other firefox window itself. That means, drag and drop from here, is the same as pulling out a tab out of a normal firefox window !

    Cannot search text inside of tabs, especially not sleeping tabs
