add notation about tr (translate command):
replace every newline with a single space:
tr '\n' ' '
add notation about using find to list only files in current directory and NOT subdirectory:
find $dir -maxdepth 1 -type f
install vrms (because we all need a tiny richard stallman complaining about which packages on our computer actually aren't libre)
paru vrms
install colordiff:
doas pacman -S colordiff
remove mplayer (stopped working, use mpv instead)
doas pacman -Rs mplayer
Note: You may need to add the postgresql runit script (and fudge about with postgresql)
as a recent update broke it on our desktop, and our laptop may need to make the same adjustment.
install rtorrent
doas pacman -S rtorrent
cp /usr/share/doc/rtorrent/rtorrent.rc ~/.rtorrent.rc
unccoment:
#directory.default.set = ./
and rewrite it as:
directory.default.set = ./Downloads
uncomment:
#session.path.set = ./session
and:
mkdir ~/session
uncomment:
#schedule2 = watch_directory,5,5,load.start=./watch/*.torrent
and:
mkdir ~/watch
uncomment:
#dht = auto
and rewrite it as:
dht = on
Whenever you download a torrent (from a browser)
move it from your ~/Downloads folder to your ~/watch
Then simply start
rtorrent
And it will look to watch and session to start/resume torrents
Once done, look in your ~/Downloads folder and it should be finished.
