  • Yeah I’m curious too because I have played Cyberpunk without any issue on both the steam deck and bazzite for a long time, cyberpunk even has a graphics preset for the deck so I’m not sure what’s happening either.

    EDIT: Even using both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards (before the latest nvidia driver version debacle though)


  • Oh this absolutely happens to me to the point that I just tell people when I meet them that it might happen but I do try because I have a lot of names rattling around in my head hah! I also use how someone answer ls as a sort of read on who they are as a person haha. That said, I have never had someone call me selfish but if they did I would probably respond by telling them that it’s selfish to think everyone should remember their name and to remember they are not the main character in anyone’s life but their own. I try not to be mean about it but I am definitely snarky about it.


  • Hah I am glad it was helpful! Glad to share, I always felt like half the point of learning is to share what you learned. That is one of my favorite “hidden gems” for lack of a better term that can be a real time saver.

    Bonus just for more fun: you can use cd - to switch back to the directory you were last in after changing directories, it toggles the top two paths in the stack. It is similar to how pushd/popd work if you have you used those. I use that one a ton, there are fancier tools now but that one works everywhere.

    Oh also, anyone on a Mac needs to know about pbcopy, Linux has xclip and I don’t remember what the Wayland analog is.



  • In contrast, and I say this as someone who has used various types of Unix and Linux for a long time, I think this is an excellent use for AI, just be sure to use it to teach you things not just to solve your problems for you.

    What I mean by this is I have found (mostly Claude) to be great at explaining concepts, especially if you use it to make analogies to something you know. It is absolutely not right every single time but I have had great luck with questions like “explain to me how to X in Y tool, I know how to have the same outcome by doing A in B tool” or “explain to me how docker works using a rocket as a metaphor” or things like that. Also I use it a lot for new subjects where I don’t know what to search for quite yet and I can just give it a long rambling explanation and example and ask it for 3 suggestions to research further or things to check. It is kind of useful as an expensive search engine but if you use it like a research engineer to get you started it can be really helpful in my experience.

    As others have said though, I have been doing it forever both personally and professionally and I am definitely still learning. Linux knowledge is more of a skill to develop over time not something that is easy to master because it continually changes. Learning how to find or figure out the answers is the most valuable skill though, it’s impossible to remember everything. That and often there is no single right or correct answer for every situation but there are a lot of options and opinions and often more of the latter than the former. That said though usually the best answer is the one that I forget about because it functions forever and doesn’t blow up in my face hah.

    Anyway, hope at least some of that is helpful, best of luck!

  • I think you already decided what I would have recommended (just write to a log file in your python script) but I wanted to hopefully help with the rest of the question hah.

    So the first thing to remember is that a pipe (|) in Linux is a unidirectional data channel that passes stdout from the left command the right command’s stdin and this is its only function. Also notable is that exit status of a pipeline is the exit status of the last command in the pipeline (unless the pipefail option is enabled but this isn’t the behavior you wanted either), this is what is available in $? as well immediately after the pipe exits in a script, problem with that is that tee can exit successfully while the previous command failed because it did its job redirecting output.

    To get the behavior you are after you would probably need to write a script that does the signal handling or it might work if you use exec to wrap your python+tee command in your dockerfile because then the bash process will get replaced by python or tee, I’m not sure which or how tee will interact with exec without testing though.

    Anyway, hope that helps, here are the docs on pipe which are worth a read. In fact when double checking something just now, I learned I can do |& today instead of 2>&1 | which is neat hah!

    Edit: I forgot to mention, signal handing in docker is a whole other animal so depending on how you are specifically running it the behavior and signals might not be what is expected or the same as running the commands outside of docker.

    Great article about it: https://medium.com/@gchudnov/trapping-signals-in-docker-containers-7a57fdda7d86

  • It’s funny you say that, I have one of those but he actively demands that I turn the water on so he can drink from it hah!

    He definitely has enough water bowls around including directly next to that sink, he has done that since he was a kitten. No idea why, I just work here :D
