i need to find active communities again. everywhere i'm in feels dead and i feel lonely on the internet

hmm

i'm trying out archlinux32 on a thinkpad T42. should i install NsCDE or WindowMaker? and why?

other suggestions welcome too. i want old computer feel primarily. i liked how windowmaker looked last i tried it (2015 i think?) but it was largely incompatible and crashy which made me shy away from it.

i got it to play youtube videos

@madewokherd ah! looks like yes you can just do

yt-dlp $url -o - | mplayer -

though now it's complaining about the video codec, but i think i'm on the right track now! thanks!

@madewokherd for reference the command line i've been trying:

`youtube-dl -q -o- $url | mplayer -cache 8192 -

@madewokherd is there a way to get something out of yt-dlp i can stdio pass to mplayer? i want to watch youtube videos on the framebuffer and mpv doesn't do framebuffer.

so to use youtube-dl you need to use an up to date version

if you download through pip or even pacman you get a version from 2021

if you try to update that, it tells you it can't update because you installed it with an external package manager

and if you try to install it manually using their binary, it's been taken down

i love the future

first real crack at running arch seriously in the form of archlinux32 on a very old thinkpad T42 and without setting any expectations of a desktop computer i'm actually having a pretty fun time just doing dumb shit on the TTY like making it play DVDs on the framebuffer

when are we getting archie linux

i don't mean to brag but i'm hot!! i got a great fuckin bod!!!!

@thelastpsion if you need a professional embedded C developer to back you up i think you're right. i've also never seen it done that way

if you have images that were poorly scaled up (non-integer) with nearest neighbor resampling, here's a script to fix those images: https://gist.github.com/Lana-chan/5b4604c8a03b21a897161afa01bd3542
