  • You can still move your folder from .config/librewolf/ to .librewolf/ and it will use it from there. At least, it works like that in Firefox (potentially to be removed in the future, but there’s no real reason to remove it any time soon).

    But yeah, I don’t know how that works together with KeePassXC. I mean, if it worked on LibreWolf before, then presumably moving the folder back to .librewolf/ should fix it until KeePassXC is updated…

    (And yes, the .config/ directory is specified by the XDG standard.)

    (Also, good shout about the directory being relevant. I guess, that’s also why the extension is currently broken for me, because I was a bit too eager to switch to the .config/ dir. 🙃)





  • Just to kind of confirm this:

    ls -l does not show them like hard links, but rather like soft/symbolic links.

    But when I do tail -f /path/to/file.txt on a file (to keep it open in a process) and then delete the file, I get this output in ls -l:

    3 -> '/path/to/file.txt (deleted)'
    

    The 3 seems to just be an incrementing number for each file opened by the process. And then, well, obviously the file isn’t now called “file.txt (deleted)”. That is just a name the kernel makes up when ls -l asks it what’s in that directory.

    So, presumably the kernel keeps a separate copy of that file in memory until the process closes the file or is terminated. And then exposes it through this pseudo-softlink rather than making use of hardlinks.

    I’ll go on a trip over 2½ days in autumn, and for dietary reasons, I can’t really expect to find food there. So, my current plan is genuinely to just bring my own food for the whole trip.

    And yeah, it’s just 7 meals, a bag of food is probably enough. But in my head, I’m already trying to work out the logistics of transporting a shopping cart’s worth of food there. 🫠


  • The section “4. What editing does to the mark” talks about that. Probably best to look at that illustration again, but basically those edits would interrupt consecutive runs of detectable text, but if a run is long enough, it can still be detected with statistical significance.

    So, it doesn’t have to check the ‘color’ of the words from start to end uninterrupted, but rather can also detect color sequences in the middle of the text.






  • You’d also need some way to automatically install the right package, if a dependency is missing. And you’d need to make this work seamlessly on all distros.

    As a dev, I want my users to be able to use my software with as few clicks as possible. Ideally, just one. I’ll also accept two (download + run). For expert users, we can talk about 4 clicks, where they’d still unpack an archive after download.

    But anything beyond that, especially if they have to first troubleshoot what dependency is missing on their system, that’s just not happening. They’ll just give up and delete my program, because they don’t want to invest time into getting it to run, when they don’t even know yet, if it does what they want. I know, I would.
