I use xfce because it is stable, simple and lightweight. Perhaps I don't know what I'm missing but I'm very happy with it.

Dupe: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44284291 (117 points | 8 days ago | 28 comments)

Seems like the link changed, and thus not caught by the dupe detector.

Any particular reason to use -print0 and pipe instead of -exec?

Based on recent reads (will edit if I remember more):

* "Daros" by Dave Dobson https://www.amazon.com/Daros-Dave-Dobson-ebook/dp/B0946C153P - At the heart of the plot was a powerful artifact with different groups vying to gain access for different reasons. The humor, especially the chapter titles, worked well for me. Features mysterious creature, a sassy AI, a fast paced plot with good amount of action, etc.

* "Dim Stars: A Novel of Outer-Space Shenanigans" by Brian P. Rubin https://www.amazon.com/Dim-Stars-Novel-Outer-Space-Shenaniga... - Fun and filled with humor that had me laughing almost every page, especially enjoyed the slice-of-life feel in the first half of the novel

* "We Are Legion (We Are Bob)" by Dennis Taylor https://www.amazon.com/Are-Legion-Bob-Bobiverse-Book-ebook/d... - read the first one a few years back, remember enjoying it, need to read the sequels...

* "The Shadows of Dust" by Alec Hutson https://www.amazon.com/Shadows-Dust-Alec-Hutson-ebook/dp/B08... - spacy fantasy featuring giant turtles as spaceships, not really sci-fi

Does Kindle Unlimited count? Been a subscriber for a few years and I read about 5 KU titles on average per month. Mostly fantasy and sci-fi.

grep+tr can be done within sed too (or go with perl for more features and easier portability)

My thumb rule is no extension if the script goes to the local bin folder and `.sh` otherwise. Beyond syntax highlighting, the extension also helps for wildcard matching for file operations (`ls`, `cp`, `for` loop, etc).

https://davidkoloski.me/blog/intelligent-brute-forcing/ might help, if you don't already have some sort of automatic solver to figure out solutions.

looks cool! so far I've been using FBreader and Mcomix without fiddling too much into settings

going through the features for bookworm, I didn't know I wanted some of those (ex: annotations, metadata/tags mainly to make it easier to search later on, etc)
