The TH-cam bar at the bottom of the screen is only a problem if someone pauses the video and wants to type the terminal commands you are typing. To completely avoid this problem, keep the stuff you're typing in the top 90% of the screen. Either that or include the commands in text form somewhere else, like the TH-cam description or a pinned comment. If you have a video with a lot of terminal commands, a link to an article on your web site might be appropriate.
@@Xur______ Sure, parts of it are based on FreeBSD and it fulfills the POSIX standard. You can easily install homebrew and have a ton of Linux CLI functionality.
In an old job, I had to administer a pair of IBM RS-6000 machines running AIX. Trust me folks, you wouldn't want to run Unix even it you were paid to do it. 🤣
7:12 He means when you are on full screen and pause the video. I have the same issue. The navigation bar or title bar that shows when you pause a video sometimes covers a command line, and the only way to read it is exit full screen.
Indeed. I have to resort to slow playback sometimes, which is fiddly to use. Also on resume that bloody navigation bar doesn't drop for 5 seconds (unless you move the mouse pointer off the browser window .. in full-screen, to another monitor ..) meaning too-frequent use of the back arrow to catch something we've missed. Common on these types of videos, not just DT's.
The aim of the GNU Project was never Unix on the desktop, but a free software desktop (and servers etc too of course). Richard Stallman has written that he doesn't have any great love for Unix, but that he used its model of a very modular operating system to organise his new project. He realised that there could be people or groups of people who could work on discrete bits of the operating system. The whole thing could be put together like a jigsaw puzzle. And it was, with one bit of the GNU operating system unfinished; the kernel.
I think the person who asked about installing "UNIX" was probably using it as an inaccurate blanket term for the various BSDs and other UNIX like options that aren't Linux. I'd personally be interested in a free bsd or net bsd install, or something like that.
I like the fact that of the amount of time you spent answering each question, I think you spent the MOST amount of time answering the last (Unix) question... to explain that you aren't going to waste your time talking about Unix. 🤣🙃
Hey DT, a while ago you had mentioned installing Ubuntu server then installing a desktop interface like openbox over the top. Can you make a video of this? I actually like Ubuntu and would love to start from a minimal Ubuntu and build it up instead of starting with regular Ubuntu and trying to strip it down.
AIX is still used widely. it's kernel is only 23MB and runs extremely fast. It can run 192+ cores and over 4TB of memory. All the other "Unixes" have pretty much died off. Basically you have Linux and AIX. I maintain almost 100 instances of AIX in my current job. Actually, JFS filesystem in linux is from AIX. The only downside to AIX vs linux is you cannot run it on x86 type hardware... just power. AIX has some neat tricks though. Migrating to new storage can be done without downtime. I can move rootvg and all the other vgs that are created without even taking the instance down. RH on power does not even support migrations. Their idea of migrations is install new instance and migrate your apps. That has left a bad taste in my mouth for RHEL. I ended up having to do it from the san level. AIX still has its place...but unfortunately, a lot of software is going to linux.
For those looking for another open source alternative to Audacity, look up Saucedacity. The most recent update (v. 1.2) was in August of this year. It's by the same people who did Tenacity it seems. Not sure if they abandoned the original Tenacity or if this is the successor to Tenacity, but hey, it's another option.
I was going to recommend it too. I work a little with DAWs and those can definitely be humbling but another good one (that happens to be a DAW) is LMMS. But again, The learning curve is very steep. Sauce is a good choice!
the navigation bar on TH-cam disappears when your mouse is not on the vieuw screen. when the mouse is on the view screen, a navigation bar appears with a red line.
Hey, DT! All you had to say about Unix is mention how long and how often Novell/SCO spent suing everyone under the sun and how that process effectively litigated Linux into existence! 😆
the thing with the youtube controls hiding the bottom line is a problem, when you pause the video to read the command closely. that's when they show up. i have not found a way to hide them when paused. it is youtubes fault, of course, but it can't hurt to leave some margin at the bottom as a youtube centered content creator.
I have been running QubesOS with KDE for the last 3 years. Man, so hard to go back to regular linux ! It's so simple to maintain quite a few virtual machines clones that do specific job and lunch them from the menu. I tried a few time going back to virsh for VM and CT/podman but it's just not quite there. Before I had a proxmox system for my desktop to easily run containers. I still find flatpak sub-optimal for managing compartimentation. There was a KVM implementation of QubesOS that I am not sure if it is still maintained. Just my rant.
1. The annoying yt progress bar covers everything in the bottom and the top, So many times when I need to read something slowly on a video I push spacebar or click in the video to read it, but because it is on the top or the bottom it is unreadable... and the bar dissappears only when I resume playback... I hate this. The obvious workaround is to make a screenshot while playing. But I think it would be nice to always put sensitive detailed onscreen data closer to the middle of the screen. 2. Actually I was working for a TV network, It was pretty important to use safe margins always when putting any type of information on the screen. Because People had different tv sets with different aspect rations and different cropping mechanisms and technologies. I think taking the TH-cam bar into account and using safe margins is the way to ensure that your content gets to your audience. Safe Margins should be easy to turn on on any video editor you use.
I don't know what it is like elsewhere, but on Firefox in Ubuntu, I get two different right click menus depending on if I right click once or twice. In the second menu it says "Take Snapshot..." and that basically does a screenshot but omits the nav bar and other overlay stuff. If you need info from something that goes by quickly, you can do this while paused instead of trying to screenshot while playing the video.
the issue of mastodon instances shutting down would be a non-issue if it was a peer-to-peer thing rather than federated, but there's not a lot of developer effort being put into making the existing p2p social media platforms good
I like the idea of Mastodon instances that collect donations. I'd like it even more if they collected enough to pay for a staff member or two. Also, another difficulty with Mastodon is navigating the pathways created by petty instance block lists. I had to do an awful lot of research before choosing an instance. That was visible to other instances, with decent rules, moderation, and community.
Such a trash social media. So confusing. Can't find a search input where I can find new servers. I don't know how I could see all the servers I follow in one timeline.
For whoever was asking for a UNIX video, the best and closest and most used you will get to that while still being FOSS is FreeBSD. It's fantastic, it's stable, it has a saner userland, and it's much more compatible with Linux than most people recognize. I also recommend doing some research on the origins of BSD and Linux and UNIX/UNICS to learn the history of how all this came about. That will also help you to understand the UNIX philosophy which Linux does indeed carry on, with some exceptions *cough* systemd *cough* lol.
Been in the Unix world back then. Stable as feck but if you wanted any other software for your system, it was a matter of downloading sources and porting them yourself. Appstores and repositories? What's that? No, nothing that I wasn't to get back to. Actually have a customer that is still running an ERP system on SCO Unix 5 and I helped them move the server over to a vm 15yo so now they don't have any driver problems for SCO anymore. Noone knows anything under the hood stuff about that ERP system anymore, No support or updates for the os but the system just keeps running.
The most recent version of Audacity, without telemetry, is 3.0.2 I don't mind using this one. It has enough features. And it doesn't really need updates for security, because it doesn't do anything with the Internet, that I'm aware of. It exports to formats that are widely supported, so that's fine. I think it will continue being useful for as long as I need. And if it stops being useful, chances are, things will have changed so much by then that someone will have already been working on a more modern program with the relevant new features people will need. And hey, maybe people can just make plugins for 3.0.2 as a way to extend it's usefulness, without diving into the guts of the entire program. Sounds more manageable to me. And easier to maintain, when the main program never gets updates.
Mastodon sucks because there has been NO UX work on top of Instances not being backbones for each other in the way that real decentralized networks like i2p and Freenet do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
19:00 I believe there was a Scandinavian dude that was working on a Unix like OS - commenter asking for Unix might like to do a search for it. Scandinavian dude didn't expect it to go anywhere , he was just doing it as a hobby.
Regardless of early Unix licensing (which is a complex topic, as AT&T was not able to offer it as a commercial product due to an earlier antitrust court ruling), there are free versions of it. FreeBSD could be considered a Unix with a free license, as well as Illumos, as a successor of OpenSolaris. I've used both at home (first OpenSolaris 2008, then FreeBSD 2010), serving as ZFS home NAS, which was migrated to Linux around 2013 as its ZFS support become more stable. I've been using Linux since 97, and being exposed to OpenSolaris and FreeBSD showed me how similar yet different all those systems are, as well as realizing that the GNU userland is so much friendlier to use! This journey made me appreciate even more the huge debt we owe today to the GNU project, creating the base of a free Unix system in the 80s, and the investment they did to ensure we would have a free operating system today. Without it, Linux probably would've never existed, and maybe the Unix legacy would've been lost forever to NT.
Hey DT, I'd like you to make a video reviewing Hyprland. It appears to be stable for regular usage, and has some cool features, so I'd love to hear your opinions on it as you try it in a VM.
"just fork the os" He doesn't realize it, but someone out there's taken these words to their core. 20 years from now there will be a documentary about an operating system that changed the game & in it will be an entire section about how the creator watched this vid lmao
If the youtube timeline bar thingy gets in the way there are browser addons which will let you set a hotkey to toggle the UI on or off. I use it to screenshot paused fullscreen videos. I think "Enhancer for TH-cam" does this but I may be wrong. There are lots if you search for "toggle youtube ui browser addon".
I saw Rust and I couldn't believe my eyes: the state of the art programming paradigms are built on the assumption that the declaring block owns the entities that it declares, with the exception of the declaring block running to an end, in which case the entity ceases to exist or the ownership goes over to the caller. Not so Rust: it instead maintains that the ownership of a declared goes to the first function whereto it is sent as an argument. Whatever Rust is, it is not normal. Perhaps abnormal, but not the very least normal.
The almost same minus is at PeerTube. Technologies just serve to personalities. But owner can not afford or accept your personality an see you like leecher.
Hey DT! Will you comment on latest Chris Titus Tech video about linux distros? Also, what do you think about alternative init systems such as finit, hummingbird or busybox init? Should we have that possibility to swap init systems?
You have the possibility to change the init system. Gentoo and Artix to name two big ones give you the choice with ease, but don't expect other major distros to support this because it can be pain to maintain, document and support multiple init systems.
@@d3stinYwOw you are free to package them for any distro you like and maintain the package... That is exactly what i am talking about... It is a pain and not just install package "openrc" and you're done
Also IMHO, when I looked into the Audacity thing, I have no problem with it. I'm not against Telemetry in itself, provided I'm given an option and provided that they don't collect data for other purposes than making their product better. That's overly simplified, but I'm not going to write a whole rant ;) Let's just say that I think the Audacity "fight" is much shouting over nothing much.
The YT navigation bar on desktop browsers takes a while to disappear after no mouse movement like a timeout, while on phone you tap the screen and disappears instantly. Just rewind 10 seconds and let it disappear to see the content.
Or maybe use a different TH-cam client. I tend to use MPV when I want to watch and try out at the same time. Not sure about the alternative TH-cam clients like NewPipe, LibreTube, etc. YMMV
I am not DT, but I might suggest something. It seems that Manjaro has some different issues, the most important of which seems to be AUR packages becoming unstable. I do not suspect that problem to go away soon, so if you are familiar with some of linux components or if you are open to learn some of them, then try out ArcoLinux. I would say this is the next moderately-user friendly well supported Arch Distro. or try EndeavourOS, XeroLinux and Garuda. I had a lot of fun with both Arco and Xero, but I went back to debian based, because it was easier for me to setup and fix issues there with grub, wine/lutris, and I had bad experience with rolling updates.
@@reveninja5252 Thank you for the reply. After looking at your suggestions I have decided to go with Xero Linux. Looks like a fair replacement to this Manjaro install.
Problem with mastadon is the lack of communities. I searched for my interests in mastadon social, found a post from 3 years ago and nothing more. Its either that or bots copy pasting from twitter or just bots in general....and porn.....everywhere....
If I'm not mistaken, the mainframes that IBM still make, that have names starting with Z, those have a UNIX OS or something similar. Certainly UNIX certified (which Linux isn't, though it's mostly compatible). And that OS, from what I've heard, yeah, is proprietary, but not clearly garbage. They're doing very interesting things there. A shame that it's so unknown to the general public.
AIX, not garbage but ultimately useless outside of the IBM environment. It has great support for POWER architectures. It is dying out and exists mostly for back compatibility. I've used BlueGene P and Q systems and both were running Linux, as support for applications is vastly superior even if the architecture support isn't as great as AIX's.
Hey DT! You may have already answered this at some point, but why did you remove the Haskell icon from your Xmonad deployment in DTOS? I thought it added a little bit of extra charm, and I'm sad that it's gone! I tried quickly resizing an .xpm of the icon myself, but it looks very bad and I haven't had the time to really sit down and figure out why.
Well mastodon does suck, it's nothing but echo chambers and groupthink.... Mainly for the left of center folks And it's not black and white with Unix technically Unix code is open source.... the trademark, however, is not...

There is no reason not to use the updated Audacity. You can opt -out if the telemetry, and even if opted-in, it is just crash reporting. Firefox actually sends more telemetry than Audacity every will.
People, stop crying about Audacity "spying". Especially when you can easily disable that option. The same crying as Half Life fans about Cinematic Mod. @DT maybe some instructions how to disable it "and hack the bad system" would be good?
The big problem for many free and open source lovers is not if you can turn it on or off, the problem is that they even try in an application that absolutely has no need for collecting data. It's more an political thing than an technical.
Can't people just hand off their Mastodon Instance if it gets to be too much? Can you do a video guide on running with Mastodon, I need a place to go. Hey DT I need a tiling wm to build ontop of Proxmox, any guidance? I've been up for days working on this.

I think there is an option export your data out of a mastodon instance, and you can probably import it on another instances I guess.
What about OpenSolaris? For a Unix instal/use?
poor DT has to deal with so much noob questions.
Salute to you man, someone has to do it.
"It's a UNIX system... I know this!"
Hey DT! Will you comment on latest Chris Titus Tech video about linux distros? Also, what do you think about alternative init systems such as finit, hummingbird or busybox init? Should we have that possibility to swap init systems?
You have the possibility to change the init system. Gentoo and Artix to name two big ones give you the choice with ease, but don't expect other major distros to support this because it can be pain to maintain, document and support multiple init systems.
@@demipy Having them in repos will be enough for me, just like Debian have OpenRC in repos ;)
@@d3stinYwOw you are free to package them for any distro you like and maintain the package... That is exactly what i am talking about... It is a pain and not just install package "openrc" and you're done
@@demipy I know, I just need package and rest I'll figure out, to practice packaging I have Slackware ;)
DT, BSD *is* real UNIX - now personally I'm not interested that much in it, but BSD is not just Unix-like, it is Unix.
Also IMHO, when I looked into the Audacity thing, I have no problem with it. I'm not against Telemetry in itself, provided I'm given an option and provided that they don't collect data for other purposes than making their product better. That's overly simplified, but I'm not going to write a whole rant ;) Let's just say that I think the Audacity "fight" is much shouting over nothing much.
You did BSD.. which is actually a unix. It's not by name, but its a registered UNIX...
he disclaimed that. he said UNIX BY NAME :)
Rustacean and Arch btw user:
💪💪 same energy
The bar on youtube is active when you pause.
glorious thumbnail
Please try Ocenaudio.
No trailing quip? Are you alright?
The YT navigation bar on desktop browsers takes a while to disappear after no mouse movement like a timeout, while on phone you tap the screen and disappears instantly. Just rewind 10 seconds and let it disappear to see the content.
Or maybe use a different TH-cam client. I tend to use MPV when I want to watch and try out at the same time. Not sure about the alternative TH-cam clients like NewPipe, LibreTube, etc. YMMV
For the browsers you could try the Enhancer for TH-cam addon by Maxine RF (corrected)
this UNIX thing is like saying "i'm not a true 1337 hacker unless i become monkey"
Hey DT should I keep using manjaro? I keep seeing videos of how bad manjaro is 🤔
I am not DT, but I might suggest something. It seems that Manjaro has some different issues, the most important of which seems to be AUR packages becoming unstable. I do not suspect that problem to go away soon, so if you are familiar with some of linux components or if you are open to learn some of them, then try out ArcoLinux. I would say this is the next moderately-user friendly well supported Arch Distro. or try EndeavourOS, XeroLinux and Garuda. I had a lot of fun with both Arco and Xero, but I went back to debian based, because it was easier for me to setup and fix issues there with grub, wine/lutris, and I had bad experience with rolling updates.
@@reveninja5252 Thank you for the reply. After looking at your suggestions I have decided to go with Xero Linux. Looks like a fair replacement to this Manjaro install.
Problem with mastadon is the lack of communities. I searched for my interests in mastadon social, found a post from 3 years ago and nothing more. Its either that or bots copy pasting from twitter or just bots in general....and porn.....everywhere....
Great work Thank you
there is a way to remove the youtube overlay while paused! I added this script to a bookmark so it executes for the current video I'm playing:
javascript:(function(){var goaway=".ytp-chrome-top,.ytp-chrome-bottom{display:none;}";if("\v"=="v"){document.createStyleSheet().cssText=goaway}else{var tag=document.createElement("style");tag.type="text/css";document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(tag);tag[(typeof document.body.style.WebkitAppearance=="string")?"innerText":"innerHTML"]=goaway}})();
alternatively, you can use Ublock origin to remove the controls. But I find executing this script with the click of a bookmark much easier
I love mastodon
If I'm not mistaken, the mainframes that IBM still make, that have names starting with Z, those have a UNIX OS or something similar. Certainly UNIX certified (which Linux isn't, though it's mostly compatible). And that OS, from what I've heard, yeah, is proprietary, but not clearly garbage. They're doing very interesting things there. A shame that it's so unknown to the general public.
AIX, not garbage but ultimately useless outside of the IBM environment. It has great support for POWER architectures. It is dying out and exists mostly for back compatibility. I've used BlueGene P and Q systems and both were running Linux, as support for applications is vastly superior even if the architecture support isn't as great as AIX's.
Hey DT! You may have already answered this at some point, but why did you remove the Haskell icon from your Xmonad deployment in DTOS? I thought it added a little bit of extra charm, and I'm sad that it's gone! I tried quickly resizing an .xpm of the icon myself, but it looks very bad and I haven't had the time to really sit down and figure out why.
I use Rust btw
Thank you
FYI: Ublock Origin extension removes add's, pop up's, and ticker tape bars from TH-cam. Just sayin. 🙂
The problem with Mastodon is that it's the result of a benevolent dictator for life. Using something else, like pleroma, would be better.
Mastodon has many many instances.
@10:00 Thanks for answering that question of mine 👍
Well mastodon does suck, it's nothing but echo chambers and groupthink....
Mainly for the left of center folks
And it's not black and white with Unix technically Unix code is open source.... the trademark, however, is not...
All social media is groupthink. Everyone wants to be around like-minded people
@@spht9ng never said it wasn't.
why can't mastodon maintenance be automated?
Ayyy a new QnA
Using Ocenaudio instead Audacity
What I understand is Oceanaudio not open source
what's the difference between Rust fanboys and Arch fanboys?
Arch fanboys have more merch...
... you have your "btw, I use ARCH" mug right there... i can see that...
There is no reason not to use the updated Audacity. You can opt -out if the telemetry, and even if opted-in, it is just crash reporting. Firefox actually sends more telemetry than Audacity every will.
Tell me you don't know anything about Unix history and where it is currently used without telling me any of that.
I checked your TH-cam channel. Where are your videos about Unix, its history and its current use?
Yes. Open source can be fun.but the downside may not become apparent for a while. It takes time.There are upsides and downsides to everything in life.

"Hey DT! bigpod SUCKS too because of THIS! --> 'First'" (And Other Comments)
@@Menezham Lmao
how about Alpine linux ?
People, stop crying about Audacity "spying". Especially when you can easily disable that option. The same crying as Half Life fans about Cinematic Mod. @DT maybe some instructions how to disable it "and hack the bad system" would be good?
The big problem for many free and open source lovers is not if you can turn it on or off, the problem is that they even try in an application that absolutely has no need for collecting data. It's more an political thing than an technical.
Can't people just hand off their Mastodon Instance if it gets to be too much? Can you do a video guide on running with Mastodon, I need a place to go.
Hey DT I need a tiling wm to build ontop of Proxmox, any guidance? I've been up for days working on this.
Xv6 is (really) UNIX. It's definitely free software.
8:18 If you want to remove the bar at the bottom of the screen in TH-cam.
BTW this works in both Firefox and Chrome based browsers.
In your browser create a bookmark and call it "TH-cam Full" in the URL field add the following. javascript:(function(){var goaway=".ytp-chrome-top,.ytp-chrome-bottom{display:none;}";if("\v"=="v"){document.createStyleSheet().cssText=goaway}else{var tag=document.createElement("style");tag.type="text/css";document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(tag);tag[(typeof document.body.style.WebkitAppearance=="string")?%22innerText%22:%22innerHTML%22]=goaway}})();
