To automatically and recursively download subtitles for all videos in a directory on Arch Linux, you have several options. Here's a comprehensive approach using some of the tools mentioned in the search results:

Using Subliminal

Subliminal is a powerful command-line tool that can recursively search for video files and download subtitles for them[1].

1. Install Subliminal:

sudo pacman -S subliminal

2. Use the following command to download subtitles recursively:

subliminal download -l en /path/to/your/video/directory

Replace "en" with your preferred language code and adjust the directory path as needed.

Using QNapi

QNapi is another excellent option for downloading subtitles[5].

1. Install QNapi:

sudo pacman -S qnapi

2. Use QNapi in console mode to download subtitles recursively:

find /path/to/your/video/directory -type f \( -name "*.mp4" -o -name "*.mkv" -o -name "*.avi" \) -exec qnapi -c {} +

This command finds all video files with .mp4, .mkv, or .avi extensions and passes them to QNapi for subtitle download.

Using yt-dlp

While primarily used for downloading videos, yt-dlp can also download subtitles for local video files[2].

1. Install yt-dlp:

sudo pacman -S yt-dlp

2. Use the following command to download subtitles recursively:

find /path/to/your/video/directory -type f \( -name "*.mp4" -o -name "*.mkv" -o -name "*.avi" \) -exec yt-dlp --write-sub --sub-lang en --skip-download {} +

Replace "en" with your preferred language code.

Using OpenSubtitlesDownload

OpenSubtitlesDownload is a Python script that can be used to download subtitles[3][4].

1. Install OpenSubtitlesDownload:

yay -S opensubtitlesdownload

2. Use the following command to download subtitles recursively:

find /path/to/your/video/directory -type f \( -name "*.mp4" -o -name "*.mkv" -o -name "*.avi" \) -exec OpenSubtitlesDownload.py {} +

Additional Tips

• For all these methods, you may need to adjust the file extensions in the find command to match your video file types.
• Some of these tools may require you to create an account on the subtitle service they use (e.g., OpenSubtitles.org).
• If you encounter rate limiting issues, you may need to add delays between downloads or use a tool that handles this automatically.

Remember to respect copyright laws and the terms of service of the subtitle providers when downloading subtitles.

To synchronize your home directory between two Manjaro systems using rsync, you can follow these steps:

Preparation

1. Ensure both systems are connected to the same network.
2. Install rsync on both systems if it's not already installed:

sudo pacman -S rsync

3. Determine the IP address of the destination system:

ip addr show

Syncing the Home Directory

To sync your home directory from the source system to the destination system, use the following command on the source system:

rsync -av --update ~/ username@destination_ip:/home/username/

Replace username with your actual username on the destination system, and destination_ip with the IP address of the destination system[1][2].

Explanation of the Command

• -a: Archive mode, which preserves permissions, ownership, timestamps, etc.
• -v: Verbose mode, which provides detailed output of the sync process.
• --update: This option skips files that are newer on the receiver side.
• ~/: This is the source directory (your home directory on the current system).
• username@destination_ip:/home/username/: This is the destination, specifying the user, IP address, and path on the remote system[1][3].

Additional Considerations

1. SSH Key Authentication: For a smoother experience, set up SSH key authentication between the two systems. This eliminates the need to enter a password each time you run rsync[4].

2. Exclude Files: You might want to exclude certain directories or files. Use the --exclude option:

   rsync -av --update --exclude '.cache' --exclude '.local/share/Trash' ~/ username@destination_ip:/home/username/
   

3. Dry Run: Before performing the actual sync, you can do a dry run to see what would be transferred:

   rsync -av --update --dry-run ~/ username@destination_ip:/home/username/
   

4. Bandwidth Limit: If you're concerned about network usage, you can limit the bandwidth:

   rsync -av --update --bwlimit=1000 ~/ username@destination_ip:/home/username/
   

   This limits the transfer to 1000 KB/s[3].

5. Incremental Backups: The --update flag ensures that only newer files are transferred, making subsequent syncs faster.

Remember to run this command from the source system, and ensure you have the necessary permissions on both systems. Always double-check your command before running it to avoid unintended data loss or overwriting[2][5].

To install all programs from one Manjaro system on another, you can follow these steps:

Export Package List

On the source Manjaro system:

1. Open a terminal
2. Run the following command to export a list of explicitly installed packages:

pacman -Qqe > packages.txt

This will create a file called "packages.txt" containing the names of all explicitly installed packages[1].

Transfer the Package List

Transfer the "packages.txt" file to the target Manjaro system. You can use various methods like USB drive, network transfer, or cloud storage.

Install Packages on Target System

On the target Manjaro system:

1. Open a terminal
2. Navigate to the directory containing the "packages.txt" file
3. Run the following command to install all packages from the list:

sudo pacman -S --needed - < packages.txt

This command will install all packages listed in the file, skipping any that are already installed[1].

Additional Considerations

• AUR Packages: The above method only covers official repository packages. For AUR packages, you'll need to install them manually or use an AUR helper like yay[2].

• Configuration Files: Remember that this process only installs packages, not their configurations. You may need to transfer configuration files separately.

• System Differences: Be aware that some packages might not be compatible if the two systems have different architectures or Manjaro versions.

• Updates: After installation, run a system update:

sudo pacman -Syu

• Cleaning Up: You might want to remove unnecessary packages on the target system:

sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq)

This process should help you replicate most of the software environment from one Manjaro system to another. However, always review the package list before installation to ensure it's appropriate for the target system[1][2].

To automatically open output in a pager when it exceeds the screen height in Zsh, you can use a shell function that wraps commands and pipes their output to a pager if necessary. Here's how you can implement this:

1. Add the following function to your .zshrc file:

auto_pager() {
  local cmd="$1"
  shift
  $cmd "$@" | {
    if [ $(tput lines) -lt $(/usr/bin/env wc -l) ]; then
      $PAGER
    else
      cat
    fi
  }
}

2. Create aliases for commands you want to automatically page:

alias ls='auto_pager ls'
alias grep='auto_pager grep'
alias tree='auto_pager tree'
# Add more aliases as needed

This solution works as follows:

1. The auto_pager function takes a command and its arguments.
2. It runs the command and pipes its output to a subshell.
3. Inside the subshell, it compares the number of lines in the output to the terminal height.
4. If the output exceeds the terminal height, it uses the pager defined in the $PAGER environment variable (usually less).
5. If the output fits within the terminal, it simply uses cat to display it.

To ensure the pager behaves correctly, you can set the following options in your .zshrc:

export LESS="-FXR"

This configures less to:

• Exit if the entire file fits on one screen (-F)
• Not clear the screen when exiting (-X)
• Display ANSI colors (-R)

By using this approach, you can automatically page output that exceeds the screen height while still displaying shorter output directly[1][2]. Remember to restart your Zsh session or source your .zshrc file after making these changes.

Open source projects often face challenges in securing adequate funding, donations, and contributions for several reasons:

Limited Awareness and Visibility

Many open source projects struggle to gain visibility among potential users and contributors[1]. Without a large user base or strong marketing efforts, it can be difficult to attract donations or financial support.

Misconceptions About Open Source

There's a common misconception that open source software should be entirely free, including development costs[2]. This leads to a reluctance among users to financially support projects they benefit from.

Funding Models and Sustainability

Traditional funding models often don't align well with open source development:

Donation Challenges: Relying solely on donations is rarely sustainable for most projects[5]. Only a small percentage of users typically contribute, and amounts are often insufficient to support full-time development.

Venture Capital Complications: While VC funding can provide initial boosts, it often leads to pressure for monetization that may conflict with open source principles[3].

The "Free Rider" Problem

Many companies and individuals use open source software without contributing back, either financially or through code contributions[2]. This creates an imbalance where projects provide value but don't receive proportional support.

Your Proposed Solution

Your idea of a self-hosted project with a demo featuring ads presents an interesting middle ground:

Potential Benefits:

• Provides a steady revenue stream without compromising the open source nature of the project.
• Allows users to try the software before committing to self-hosting.
• Could generate enough income to support full-time developers.

Considerations:

• Ensure the ad implementation doesn't compromise user privacy or experience.
• Be transparent about how ad revenue is used to support the project.
• Consider offering an ad-free option for users who prefer to donate directly.

This approach aligns with the concept of "open core" models, where the core functionality remains open source while additional features or services generate revenue[1]. It could potentially address some of the funding challenges while maintaining the project's open source ethos.

Balancing Open Source and Sustainability

Your proposal represents a pragmatic approach to the open source funding dilemma. By generating revenue through non-intrusive means, the project can maintain its open source nature while working towards financial sustainability. This model could potentially:

1. Attract more contributors by demonstrating a path to sustainable development.
2. Provide resources for marketing and outreach, increasing the project's visibility.
3. Allow for consistent maintenance and feature development, benefiting the entire user community.

While not a perfect solution, this approach offers a promising compromise between open source ideals and the practical needs of sustainable software development.

If you're experiencing flu symptoms, there are several self-care strategies and remedies you can try to alleviate the discomfort and manage the fever. It's important to note that if your symptoms are severe, persist beyond a week, or you have difficulty breathing, you should seek medical attention. Here are some recommendations based on the provided sources:

Rest and Hydration

• Get plenty of rest: Sleep helps your body fight off infection[1].
• Drink fluids: Staying hydrated keeps the throat moist and helps prevent dehydration. Warm liquids like broth, caffeine-free tea, or warm water with honey can soothe the throat. Cold treats such as ice pops may also provide relief. Avoid caffeine and alcohol[1][2].

Gargle and Humidify

• Saltwater gargle: Dissolve 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of table salt in 4 to 8 ounces of warm water. Gargle the solution and then spit it out. This can help reduce throat swelling and discomfort[1].
• Humidify the air: Use a cool-air humidifier to add moisture to the air, or sit in a steamy bathroom for several minutes[1].

Lozenges and Pain Relief

• Lozenges or hard candy: These can soothe the throat. However, they should not be given to children age 4 and younger due to the choking risk[1].
• Pain relievers: Over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) can ease pain and reduce fever. Remember, never give aspirin to children or teenagers[1][3].

Avoid Irritants

• Stay away from cigarette smoke and cleaning products that can further irritate the throat[1].

Alternative Remedies

• Herbal remedies: Slippery elm, licorice root, and marshmallow root are commonly used to soothe a sore throat. These are often found in teas, sprays, or lozenges. However, check with your doctor before using any herbal remedies, especially if you're taking prescription medications, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding[1].

Additional Tips

• Antihistamines: May help if your sore throat is due to allergies by reducing congestion and post-nasal drip[5].
• Hot shower: Breathing in steam from a hot shower can loosen mucus and moisturize the throat[5].
• Elevate your head while sleeping: This can help reduce swelling and make breathing easier[5].

Remember, these remedies are intended to provide relief from symptoms. If your sore throat is caused by a bacterial infection, such as streptococcal pharyngitis, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics. It's crucial to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed to fully resolve the infection and prevent complications[1]. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen, or if you experience severe pain, difficulty breathing, or a high fever, seek medical attention promptly.

Here are some of the best tips for teeth whitening:

1. Use a whitening toothpaste and an electric toothbrush. The best electric toothbrushes for whitening are the Goby brush and the Oral-B 7000[1].
2. Get a professional tooth whitening treatment. This involves the application of a high concentration of carbamide or hydrogen peroxide onto the teeth[1].
3. Use custom whitening gel trays. These trays are made and custom-fitted by your dentist based on unique impressions of your teeth[1].
4. Apply whitening strips[1].
5. Use baking soda toothpaste. Baking soda is a mild abrasive that can help remove stains from the surface of your teeth[5][7].
6. Try oil pulling[1].
7. Practice good oral hygiene[1].
8. Regular dental checkups are essential[1].
9. Prevent teeth stains caused by food[1].
10. Quit smoking & tobacco use[1][3].
11. Consider getting veneers for a more permanent solution[1].

As for UV light, it's not recommended for teeth whitening. Studies have shown that UV light does not provide long-term effects and may harm oral tissues, create a greater possibility for teeth sensitivity through dehydration, and put patients at risk of high levels of radiation to sensitive areas[2][4][6][8]. The use of UV light for teeth whitening can be four times more dangerous than sunbathing and can cause toothaches, mouth infections, stomach problems, and nerve damage[8].

In-office treatments that use a combination of hydrogen peroxide gel and UV light are considered safe and effective when performed by a professional, but at-home UV light kits are not recommended due to the potential for user error and damage[6][10].

Before starting any teeth-whitening process at home, it's recommended to talk with your dentist to see what they may recommend for your specific goals[7].

The best way to freeze and thaw bread dough for later use is as follows:

1. Make the dough according to the recipe instructions and allow it to prove[1].
2. Knock the dough back, shape it into rolls or a loaf, and freeze it on a lightly greased baking tray or loaf tin[1].
3. Once frozen, remove the dough from the tin/tray, wrap it tightly in cling film or seal it in a freezer bag, and date the wrapped dough[1]. Consume the dough within 6 months[1].
4. When you're ready to use the dough, remove the packaging, place it on an oiled baking tin/tray, and cover it with a damp tea towel[1].
5. Allow the dough to thaw and rise in a warm environment until it has doubled in size and is light and puffy[1].
6. Be careful not to overprove the dough. Bake the bread according to your recipe instructions, but you may need to bake it slightly longer (by an additional 10-15 minutes)[1].

Remember to store the dough in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and ensure the best quality when thawing and baking.

If you prefer having many tabs open and want to group or stack them, there are several browsers and extensions that can help you manage your tabs effectively.

For browsers, Vivaldi is highly recommended due to its integrated tab management features, such as lazy loading of tabs, hibernating background tabs, and tab stacking. It also allows you to save your open tabs in a session and tile tabs that you need side by side[1][3][9]. Opera is another browser that is known for its advanced inbuilt tabs management features, including a feature known as Opera One workspace, which can handle many tabs without any issues[3].

If you prefer to stick with Firefox, there are several extensions that can enhance your tab management experience:

1. Workona: This extension is designed to help you organize your tabs and documents by project. It also auto-saves tabs so you won't lose your work. Workona also offers a tab suspender for Firefox, which allows you to auto-suspend tabs or pause them manually to reduce memory usage[2][7][9].

2. Simple Tab Groups: This extension allows you to create, modify, and quickly change tab groups. It also supports multiple windows and integrates with Firefox Multi-Account Containers[6][8][10].

3. Tab Session Manager: This extension allows you to save and restore the state of windows and tabs. It also supports automatic saving and cloud sync[4].

4. Tab Center Redux: This extension features a vertical listing of your tabs on the left side of your browser window, allowing you to organize your work from there[2].

5. OneTab: This extension 'bookmarks' tabs and saves them in an editable list, which can be useful for clearing tabs to have a fresh browser when working[6].

6. Auto Tab Discard: This extension increases browser speed and reduces memory load when you have numerous open tabs[4].

Remember to choose the browser or extension that best suits your needs and preferences.

How to Create a Bash Script for Managing Temporary Files with Automatic Archiving and Cleanup?

Here is a command to create a temporary directory for your user that will hold files for 90 days since their last modification date:

mkdir ~/tmp
chmod 700 ~/tmp

find ~/tmp -type f -mtime +90 -delete

This will:

• Create a directory called ~/tmp owned by your user
• Set permissions on it so only you have access
• Run find daily to delete any files older than 90 days inside the ~/tmp directory

To automate the find command, you can add it to your crontab by running:

crontab -e

And adding:

0 0 * * * find ~/tmp -type f -mtime +90 -delete

This will run the find command every day at midnight to clean up files older than 90 days in ~/tmp.

The ~/tmp directory will now persist and hold files for 90 days since their last modification date before being automatically deleted.

To make a bunch of Python functions executable from anywhere in Manjaro Linux, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a directory for your scripts: You can create a directory named bin in your home directory by running the following command in the terminal:

mkdir ~/bin

2. Add the directory to your PATH: You need to add the bin directory to your PATH environment variable so that the shell can find your scripts. You can do this by adding the following line to your shell profile file (e.g., ~/.bashrc):

export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"

3. Make your scripts executable: You need to make your Python scripts executable so that you can run them from the command line. You can do this by adding a shebang line at the beginning of your script and making the script executable using the chmod command. For example, if your script is named myscript.py, you can add the following shebang line at the beginning of your script:

#!/usr/bin/env python

Then, you can make the script executable by running the following command in the terminal:

chmod +x ~/bin/myscript.py

After following these steps, you should be able to run your Python scripts from anywhere in the terminal by simply typing the name of the script (e.g., myscript.py) and pressing Enter. The shell will automatically find the script in the bin directory and execute it using the Python interpreter.

Here is a step-by-step estimate of the amount of glucose an average male consumes in an hour:

1. Estimate the person's basal metabolic rate (BMR). This is the minimum number of calories needed to sustain vital bodily functions at rest. For a male of average height and weight, the BMR is approximately 1,800 calories per day.

2. Divide the BMR by 24 hours to get the hourly energy expenditure. 1,800 / 24 = 75 calories per hour.

3. Glucose provides about 4 calories per gram. So if all calories came from glucose, the person would use about 18 grams per hour (75 calories / 4 cal/g = 18 g).

4. However, the body uses a mix of nutrients for energy, not just glucose. Glucose may provide around 50% of resting metabolic calories.

5. Therefore, if 50% of the 75 calories per hour are from glucose, that equals 37.5 calories from glucose per hour.

6. With 4 calories per gram of glucose, 37.5 calories equals about 9 grams of glucose consumed per hour (37.5 cal / 4 cal/g = 9 g).

In summary, a rough estimate is that an average male at rest consumes approximately 9 grams of glucose per hour to meet 50% of basal metabolic energy requirements. This will vary based on the individual's exact weight, body composition, and metabolic rate.

Hey fellow programmers,

I wanted to share a little experiment I've been conducting lately that has significantly improved my workflow. I've started using AI to generate my Git commit messages, and it's been a game-changer!

By feeding all the changes I've made into a language model with a large context window (LLM), the AI not only generates a concise commit title but also provides bullet points describing each of the changes in precise detail. The level of detail and informativeness it brings to my commit messages is incredible.

I used to spend a considerable amount of time crafting commit messages that accurately captured the essence of the changes I made. Now, with the help of AI, I find myself copy-pasting its generated messages most of the time. It's not just a time-saver; it also ensures that my commits are well-documented and easy to understand for my team members.

If you haven't explored using AI for your Git commits, I highly recommend giving it a try. It can significantly boost your productivity and help you maintain clean and informative version control history. Plus, it's a fascinating intersection of AI and software development!

Have you experimented with similar AI-powered tools for your programming tasks? I'd love to hear your experiences and any recommendations you might have. Let's discuss the future of AI in programming in the comments!

To use xRDP for a Windows Remote Desktop connection to Manjaro Linux, you need to install and configure xRDP on your Manjaro system. Here are the steps you need to follow:

1. Enable AUR support: Manjaro Linux does not support xRDP out of the box. You need to enable AUR (Arch User Repository) support to install xRDP. You can do this by selecting "Add or Remove Software" → Preferences → AUR → Enable AUR support[2].

2. Install xrdp & xorgxrdp-git: Install the latest packages of xrdp and xorgxrdp-git from the AUR[2].

3. Configure xrdp: Enable the xrdp service and xrdp-sesman service using the following commands:

sudo systemctl enable xrdp.service
sudo systemctl enable xrdp-sesman.service

Then, allow any user to start an X session by adding "allowed_users=anybody" to the /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config file:

sudo echo “allowed_users=anybody” >> /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

Next, edit the ~/.xinitrc file. Comment the line #exec $(get_session "$1") and add the following line to the end of the file:

exec dbus-launch --sh-syntax startplasma-x11

This command starts the KDE Plasma desktop. If you're using a different desktop environment, you'll need to modify this command accordingly[2].

4. Reboot & connect from Windows RDP client: After making these changes, reboot your Manjaro system. You can then connect to it from your Windows system using the Remote Desktop client[2].

Please note that xRDP does not currently support Network Level Authentication (NLA). If your local RDP client uses NLA, you may need to disable that connection setting[1]. If you encounter any issues, you can troubleshoot by using the netstat command on your Linux VM to verify that your VM is listening for RDP connections[1].

I'm trying to install all packages of a file in Arch Linux with the following command:

yay -S --noconfirm --norebuild - < "$DIR"/pkglist.txt

However, when a program fails, the rest of the packages aren't installed. How can I make sure all the programs that don't fail are installed and print an error at the end for the ones that failed?

On Lemmy, a link aggregator, if a community increases in size over time, new posts will get more votes than old posts and be more likely to appear at the top of the "all time" sorting algorithm. To address this issue, we need to implement another sorting method in Rust. For example, we could create a new algorithm that takes into account the monthly active users at the moment of posting to calculate the post's score.
