restoring the configurations of a GNU/Linux system with git

Posted 11-18-2015 at 01:16 AM by jheengut

As a Slackware user, I tend to customise my configurations file a lot, ie the files in /etc. I try to avoid using programs that write into /etc, this helps to have a certain consistency among my configured files. This also has the advantage to understand and optimise for performance and speed while leveraging the work load to a minimal effect.

A Gaming Laptop working well under a GNU/Linux distribution is not a dream anymore.

I currently posses a MSI GP60 2 PE Leopard Gaming Laptop onto which Slackware was flawlessly...

youtube-dl says bye bye to ffmpeg

Posted 06-11-2015 at 05:36 AM by jheengut

I use the python program youtube-dl almost on every website to download videos legally.

There have been/are some website whereby the protocol used is not understood by youtube-dl.
