The original Runescape Midi files are interpreted 3 times with different, Soundfonts. The results are then mixed together in a harmonic way. A reinterpretation of the original music. I have uploaded all songs as a single video collection format on YouTube and uploaded music files in AAC format on Archive org.

Hello folks. So I'm still not good at Rust and learn even basics after years (just on and off doing some stuff). I'm currently working on my first small GUI application with FLTK in Rust. It's not that important for my question, but I think this gives a bit of context. The actual question is about struct and impl, using a builder pattern like pattern, but without impl builder and build() function.

Normally with the builder pattern, there are at least two structs and impl blocks. One dedicated to build the first struct. But I am doing it with only one struct and impl block, without a build() function. But it is functionally (at least conceptional) the same, isn't it? A shorted example for illustration:

Edit: Man beehaw is ruining my code blocks removing the opening character for >, which wil be translated to < or or completely removed. I use a % to represent the opening.

struct AppSettings {
    input_directory: Option%PathBuf>,
    max_depth: u8,
}

impl AppSettings {
    fn new() -> Self {
        Self {
            input_directory: None,
            max_depth: 1,
        }
    }

    fn input_directory(mut self, path: String) -> Self {
        self.input_directory = match path.fullpath() {
            Ok(p) => Some(p),
            Err(_) => None,
        };

        self
    }

    fn max_depth(mut self, levels: u8) -> Self {
        self.max_depth = levels;

        self
    }
}

And this is then used in main like

    let mut appsettings = AppSettings::new()
        .input_directory("~/test".to_string())
        .max_depth(3);

BTW I have extended PathBuf and String with a few traits. So if you wonder why I have code like this path.fullpath() . So just ignore that part. I'm just asking about the builder pattern stuff. This works for me. Do I miss something? Why would I go and do the extra step of creating another struct and impl block to build it and a final struct, that is basically the same? I don't get that.

Is this approach okay in your mind?

Ted Ts'o sent out the EXT4 updates today for Linux 6.11. He explained in that pull request:

"Many cleanups and bug fixes in ext4, especially for the fast commit feature. Also some performance improvements; in particular, improving IOPS and throughput on fast devices running Async Direct I/O by up to 20% by optimizing jbd2_transaction_committed()."

This is not a troll post and I hate nobody. (I know, the title may sound like it is.)

This year I got into Switch emulation for first time and finished Breath of the Wild with 130 hours on Yuzu, with 60 fps patch and higher resolution. Besides some control issues on very specific shrines, most of the time it was a smooth experience. I fully switched to Ryujinx after it and now started playing Tears of the Kingdom. Here are my issues with it after playing for over 10 hours on Ryujinx:

• minor: distracting graphical issues all over the place on ground and walls texture corners, but I can live with that and its more or less depending on the angle and places
• major: sometimes game freezes and crashes randomly on the overworld map
• showstopper: could not progress any longer, on a specific mission where I had to use the camera it just didn't want to recognize the photo of the statue

I tried different Roms for the game, with and without mods, with and without different patches (1.0, 1.2.0, 1.2.1) and different settings on the emulator. Always same problems, nothing could resolve for me. Then I copied my save file to Yuzu and tried the game there. Results after playing game for 6 hours on it:

• very minor: no longer those graphical issues, but light blinking issues when traveling, so much less distracting and less active
• safe: no freezes happen anymore
• progress: instant progress on the place with the photo, I could hear the audio that was missing on Ryujinx, I tried 10 different images on Ryujinx to do exact same photo but it did not work, it only works on Yuzu

My PC System:

• OS: Linux
• GPU: AMD 7600
• CPU: AMD 7700X

Does anyone have similar experience? I searched lot, but could not find any other solution and gave up after days. Again, please this i not a war. I just share my experience. I play Super Mario Wonder on Ryujinx and its a perfect experience so far and want to keep using it as my main Switch emulator. I also like the fact that addons (patches, updates and mods) are not installed on the NAND, but I just point to the place where they are without installing.

A documentary not only about how CoD 4, but how CoD came into in the first place. I'm currently a few minutes into the video and want to share it here. Documentaries by Ahoy are always enjoyable, without too much fluff and jokes. Highly recomended.

Solution: Thanks for finding the solution, kate (in the comments). The option to control this is --extractor-retries .

I recently start using SponsorBlock feature with yt-dlp . When it looks up SponsorBlock server, it tries 3 times to connect and download information. I would like to increase the retries for this specifically, but could not find the right setting or option in the manual (man yt-dlp) and help (yt-dlp --help). I would like to increase it to at least 5 or maybe even 10 retries per video.

I've noticed for sometimes it cannot login within the first 3 look ups, but when I retry the command after that it will just look up fine. Therefore an increase in the retries setting would be helpful. Especially helpful when downloading entire playlists, leaving it for some time alone.

Project name is changed from "ytdl" to "yt-dlp-lemon", after user "lol" in the comments convinced me. Thank you for the suggestion! Remember to change the directory name at ~/.local/share/ytdl to ~/.local/share/yt-dlp-lemon .

The terror continues...

10 days ago I posted the initial version of this script. Since then lot of changed and added. Here some of those changes since v0.1:

• -h is now much more simple, to see full help use -H
• -f to repackage to another container format, or -F to force re-encoding video content with a codec to any other format
• -s and -b will operate on sponsors only, and -S and -B on complete list of SponsorBlock segments
• similarly -e and -d will only embed and download only a few extra metadata and files, -E and -D does all extra files and data
• new -R will download and name files in reverse order, with index starting at 1 for the bottom file, useful for playlists who add newest entry to top
• by default all file names are simplified and sanitized a little bit, even if no option -r (for very strict) is used

My goal is to make the usage of yt-dlp itself easier with this script, without the need to study help, the manual and to write a configuration file and a script. And you don't need to test it with various sources. It does not everything what yt-dlp offers, but most of the stuff in the way I like it.

git clone https://github.com/thingsiplay/yt-dlp-lemon
cd yt-dlp-lemon
chmod +x yt-dlp-lemon
./yt-dlp-lemon -h

Output from simple help:

$ yt-dlp-lemon -h
yt-dlp-lemon [options] [url...]

Simple wrapper to yt-dlp with only a subset of options.

options:
-h                show help and exit
-H                show all options, notes and exit
-m HEIGHT         max height
-f FORMAT         repack format
-I                no ignore file
-s                add chapter marks + recognize sponsors
-b                remove sponsored segments
-c                split file by chapters
-p                playlist mode
-a                audio mode
-d                download description files
-e                embed meta and chapters
-q                show filepath only
-x                skip download

Today I'm here again to terrorize this community with my Bash scripts nobody asked for.

This new biggest is a script evolved from a much simpler version found at biggest.sh to something more complex and complete. Now there are even options to show a simple horizontal bar and relative percentage numbers instead the file size itself.

It's a script to control du command in combination with several other standard Linux utilities. I'm well aware of these alternative applications to help visualizing what the biggest files on the system are. Well, I like these kind of scripts and I like its not too much bloated. And especially the output as paths can be combined with other tools easily. It's also kinda fun doing this. Edit: Forgot to mention, it also reads stdin pipe, as output from another program like find in example.

Have a good day.

ytdl is a small script for Linux as an alternative interface to yt-dlp (which itself is a fork from youtube-dl, to download YouTube videos). My goal is to make some of its functionality a bit more accessible for the daily usage. This includes predefined settings and narrowing it down to options I care most about.

Solution was quite easy. Thanks to the user reply here: beehaw.org/comment/3535588 or programming.dev/comment/10034690 (Not sure if the links actually work as expected...)

Hi all. I have a little problem and don't know how to solve. A CLI program in Python is broken since Python 3.12. It was working in Python 3.11. The reason is, that Python 3.12 changed how subclassing of a pathlib.Path works (basically fixed an issue), which now breaks a workaround.

The class in question is:

class File(PosixPath):
    def __new__(cls, *args: Any, **kwargs: Any) -> Any:
        return cls._from_parts(args).expanduser().resolve()  # type: ignore

    def __init__(self, source: str | Path, *args: Any) -> None:
        super().__init__()
        self.__source = Path(source)

    @property
    def source(self) -> Path:
        return self.__source

    @property
    def modified(self) -> Time:
        return Time.fromtimestamp(os.path.getmtime(self))

    @property
    def changed(self) -> Time:
        return Time.fromtimestamp(os.path.getctime(self))

    @property
    def accessed(self) -> Time:
        return Time.fromtimestamp(os.path.getatime(self))

    # Calculate sha512 hash of self file and compare result to the
    # checksum found in given file. Return True if identical.
    def verify_sha512(self, file: File, buffer_size: int = 4096) -> bool:
        compare_hash: str = file.read_text().split(" ")[0]
        self_hash: str = ""
        self_checksum = hashlib.sha512()
        with open(self.as_posix(), "rb") as f:
            for chunk in iter(lambda: f.read(buffer_size), b""):
                self_checksum.update(chunk)
            self_hash = self_checksum.hexdigest()
        return self_hash == compare_hash

and I get this error when running the script:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/tuncay/.local/bin/geprotondl", line 1415, in 
sys.exit(main())

Now replacing _from_parts with _load_parts does not work either and I get this message in that case:

I have searched the web and don't understand how to fix this. Has anyone an idea what to do?

A short list with categories of my smol terminal focused tools, scripts and functions I have created over the years. There are some general purpose and very specific ones. This list was needed, because in Github it was a bit cluttered. Maybe, just maybe, you find something useful or inspiring in there.
