I've Just downloaded v15.0 of freeBSD iso install image

Play will be done today

So if you want detailed memory information of your Android just type this in termux

cat /proc/meminfo

Feels like Linux eh?

#programming #bash #csh #zsh #ksh #fish #sh #Linux #command #line #termux #OpenSource #POSIX #technology

Por muitos anos, confesso que esquivei-me de estudar o assunto, mas digo, hoje, que conhecer Shell, como o definido por POSIX, é importante para aproveitar muito melhor o poder que sistemas operacionais semelhantes a Unix, como o #GNU, têm a oferecer. Recomendo.

#Shell #BourneShell #POSIX

One important piece of powerful coding, is that termux is not a virtual machine, not an EMU {emulated environment}
Everything is cost compiled and just patched so that it runs natively in Android

I found the directory using FTP on my Android but I need the ISO file which I need to locate. I'll look for that with the HTTP interface

This is the screen with which Termux welcomes you in the terminal.

Just Gorgeous

It makes my Android feel great again

You may not have expected it but FTP works out of the box, which means that FTP also is baked in the base install of termux

GNOME has had that system for more than two decades or so IIRC {if I recall correctly} they're 27 ATM.
I had seen it in the first couple of years of GNOME spawn and development, when the programmers chose the route of less configuration & more dictation

#sh #GNOME #reg #editor #OpenSource #programming #Linux #UI #Xorg #POSIX

Packages are updated easily with pkg

The hints are plentiful

ifconfig is installed by default
You can also keep the shell evironment permanent, true termux itself and of course you should also use your Android BMS {battery management system} to tell it that termux needs to be unrestricted

#bash #csh #zsh #ksh #fish #sh #Linux #command #line #termux #programming #OpenSource #POSIX #technology

In these screen caps I've shown you how I've installed it on one of my Androids and then started working with it immediately because the environment is familiar just like the ones that I knew 30+ years ago

#bash #csh #zsh #ksh #fish #sh #Linux #command #line #termux #programming #OpenSource #POSIX #technology

Termux has so much because It was written for the Command Line jockey. If you ever worked and an Open Source Operating System in {ba/ch/k/z}sh shell;
If you even worked in a closed source command line like DOS you'll feel right that home here

I want to add both copyq menu and copyq show as global hotkjeys

Interestingly enough I use copyQ as the fix for my favorite clipboard manager Parcellite in Wayland on my SBCs. Both work without the ability to have the keyboard shortcuts triggered.

The problem with Parcellite as a bonus on top, is that I do not even get its icon in the status bar. That means invoking Parcellite in Wayland requires me to pull it up front manually, too tedious.
Once in ten starts Parcellite works flawlessly. Not good .

copyQ on the other hand, has legitimate complains but it works, and most importantly, shows it's icon on the status bar.

copyQ even tells you which functions of it fail in Wayland on the SBC, running Debian arm.

The natively packaged clipboard managers that i found ready to use for Debian ARM are not as polished as Parcellite.

Since copyQ is extremely powerful I chose to use it even though I still can't trigger it with a keyboard hotkey. I have a distinct feeling that XWayland doesn't work properly in relationship with both copyQ & Parcellite. It's even possible that it is not configured properly by default on my Debian ARM installation from the Raspberry Pi full install

WARNING

TIL that bunzip2 in Linux / Debian / MX Linux deletes, I repeat, DELETES the original archive when you run it in vanilla form

`bunzip2 dfly-x86_64-6.4.2_REL.iso.bz2`

resulted in the iso being unpacked with deletion of the original WITHOUT WARNING

Since I'm on expensive LTE+ 4G internet that is significant.

I have not used bunzip2 in years, but should have remembered this hostile default. It was not that way IIRC
Do I need to read the manpages of commands I have not used in years in Linux now? Why was the default changed

Luckily I have copies of the bzip2 iso on multiple partitions of hdd and ssd

I love working with computing Systems both Server & Client Side computing.

What is **absolutely** certain, is that if I do not follow all the important languages I need, and the important POSIX system changes, I'll become a dinosaur and a fossil in less than 3 months

In case you have not done so yet, you should play around with Open Camera and advanced Open Source camera program which will unlock features of your camera hardware you didn't know existed.

I've tested the program on all of my current androids

The photograph shows a close-up view of a green leaf placed on a blue fabric with a floral pattern. The leaf is prominently positioned in the center, with its veins and edges clearly visible. The background fabric features pink and white flowers with a gradient effect, adding a vibrant contrast to the green leaf. The top of the image displays camera interface elements, including icons for settings, flash, and a timer, with the time "06:30:08" and battery level "88.6%" visible. The bottom of the image includes camera controls, such as a shutter button and a circular record button, indicating that the photo was taken using a smartphone camera.

@stefano it works fine here on the Raspberry Pi 5
Maybe the difference is that this system runs on 64 bits {OS/ DDR4 memory}

With firefox running using 4 open tabs, Debian ARM uses just 2.08GB (1GB=1024MB) of RAM. It looks like I should just browse in ARM linux on the SBC

#SBC #ARM #Pie #Raspberry #firefox #good #OpenSource #POSIX

find . -name '*.qml' | xargs sed -i 's/\(import [A-Za-z0-9.]*\)[ ]*[0-9.]*/\1/g'

Which translates to "please remove all versions from import statements in my #Qt QML files"
