I guess I'll worry about this in 2 weeks then

ebay, ebay, ebay (and also pcpartpicker).
Unless you want to frag people at 4k@140Hz in the latest AAA game, you probably don't need the latest generation components (and I'd say your requirement are quite low here, consider how the only thing you complain about is storage space).
Unless you really want to assemble everything by yourself, consider buying one of the second-hand, previous-gen gaming rigs on ebay (but watch out for scams!). Even if you do want to assemble the PC yourself, consider buying used parts on ebay (or buying a full PC to cannibalize reselling the excess).
What are the specs of your current rig? Except for storage, are you satisfied with how it runs? How much storage do you need for the projects you are working on? How much to archive things? Do you want to do anything about backups? Is a full size tower ok? How good a video do you want? What is your budget?
It's quite easy to get rid of all that crap: just come living in the EU
The problem with Chinese EVs is that they show it’s possible to innovate, keep prices down, and mass produce.
It's not only possible, it's easy: you just need terrible labor and environmental standards, poor welfare, cheap access to raw materials, and tons of state subsidies :)
It's interesting to note that "we" knew all along it would end like this but just couldn't resist moving/outsourcing production to China nor investing in China's fast-growing economy.
"We" were chasing short-term profits and China was playing the long game. Apparently, both parties won, each at their own game.
Stop making $70K SUVs and start making $20K Taurus and Escort EVs. You did it once. You can do it again.
The cost of batteries is (relatively) higher for cheap vehicles, so that's the segment where it makes the most difference.
I took notes for the benefit of anyone who doesn’t like their info in video form.
I love you.
But it has no ads
Reading https://codeberg.org/river/river/src/branch/master/protocol/river-layout-v3.xml it seems to me that what I want to do is actually not possible in river, even writing a custom layout manager...
IIUC the protocol works like this: river asks "how should I layout N windows in HxW screen?" and the layout replies "window1: H1xW1 at offset X1,Y1; window2: H2xW2 ...", so there is no way for the layout manager to identify specific windows and, in my use case, put all the text editors on the left side of the screen etc.
Did you have some other approach in mind when you suggested river? (I may very well be over-complicating things and not seeing a more straightforward solution)
That, or git log --graph --pretty=oneline
(IDK why people seem to be willing to recommend using anything in order to learn git, with the exception of git itself)
TBH I really liked the idea behind river, but does it have tabs? Also... I would need to write my own custom layout, wouldn't I?
BTW: are there other WMs that are modular like river?
Sorry to be a bother, but... how do I tell hyprland I want a window to be added to a specific group?
I was thinking of something like:
windowrulev2 = tag texteditor, class:(myfirsteditor)
windowrulev2 = tag texteditor, class:(mysecondeditor)
windowrulev2 = group XXX, tag:texteditor
but I can't find what I should write instead of group XXX
to tell hyprland/hy3 that I want the window to be added to a group on the left-side of workspace 1...
I would also be fine with some rule that could be added to exec
or probably even some dispatcher, but I can't find anything that allows to target (or define) a specific group.
Am I pursuing this from the wrong direction?
Philosophy aside, the practical issue with your terminal emulator having to support your shell is... that one does not use just one shell: what happens whenever you start a repl or an whatever program that has interactive sessions (say, for example, psql or parted)?
tightly integrated shell and terminal emulator support. There are just things you cannot do with these being separate things.
I can't think of any, but I'm not the most creative person... what do you have in mind?
Having something that is like (say) tmux+fish could make sense, but only if it's something that outweighs the lost flexibility of being able to combine + .
I'd recommend learning/using systemd timers instead (well, if you are on inux and your distro uses systems)
