Yet there were no systemd logs, nothing in dmesg, literally zero information on what happened.
this is pretty typical for hard crashes, ur system is so unbelievably fucked up that it can’t even write to journal, and if it could, it wouldn’t be persisted anyway (hard shutdown)
by default sure, aren’t these just like, XDG specifications or something? Surely you can just change them.
Case in config files is certainly interesting, not sure how i feel about that as a standard.
Downloaded files are a gamble, but they’re always a gamble, they might not even be in english lol
what kind of programs are you using that use case in filenames. Smells like a skill issue to me.
oh, that’s rough. Yeah no i would still recommend using samba for that tbh.
do you rent out your computer to other people? I think you’ll live tbh.
I would have a problem if a terminal app were to do something like this, but for GUI apps, it is expected for them to make stuff easier. And I feel like, if you were to use a slash in a file name, it would most probably be either an “or” slash or a fraction slash, so the substitution is fine in my books.
it’s close enough, i generally consider an “illegal” character a non typable character. Especially these alt characters that are visually hard to distinguish from others such as the forward slash for example, i believe this was the same character used for a handful of somewhat clever phishing scams.
Seems like it’s fair enough to me.
Turns out Dolphin just replaces the forward slash with U+2044 “Fraction Slash” character, hence, not requiring any escape. I’d call that cheating, but it works well.
called it, i knew someone would use illegal characters eventually.
true my mistake, how could i forget this.
either or, whatever the fuck you want really.
You can just not use capital letters if you feel like it. Works pretty well. Or just use a case insensitive shell handler for pretending it’s not actually cased at all.
Hell im pretty sure you could just render all of the text in a certain case and call it a day lol.
it depends on your shell configs. In my case it sits at dir/Dir (case insensitive) waiting for me to specify 1 or 2, where as if you disable it, it’s dependent on whether or not you type d or D.
if you’re using samba file sharing across OS’s (like you should) you should use something called catia:mappings in order to solve that problem. It means shit like colon will be mapped to a different character, but there are some sane mappings out there that you can use.
maybe on macos, that might be funny, it’s probably fucky over there for some other reason anyway.
Im pretty sure it’s just explicitly illegal in linux though.
i’m not sure if you’re allowed to escape the / character, i feel like it’s blatantly illegal. But you could use the funny character set trolling thing instead, where you use a not forward slash instead. (not the \)
hence the inclusion of the case insensitive auto completion, it’s not 1982, you can use that now.
surely this is the only place where we would run into stupid syntax problems, right?
imo syntax bugs will be a thing until the end of time, they certainly beat having to rip out 90% of what you’ve done to fix it that’s for sure.
so cool story, on linux theres this thing called you can just not make case sensitive files, i do it a lot.
You can also just, use a case insensitive autocomplete setup as well. If you’re using a mouse idk why you’re even talking about this so that wouldn’t matter.
i doubt it would let you run .com files, or any of the other various “special” characters though.
Though we don’t include whatever bullshit DOS compat might cause problems in either of these.
you can also use basically anything that’s not / in a file name as well, it’s pretty based. Meanwhile on windows you have to use SMB mappings if you don’t want your directory structure to self immolate, what a good operating system.
wouldnt be the internet if people didnt think everything you said was stupid for no fucking reason.
but yeah, the old school ones are mint, we need more of those.
and we love them like brothers and sisters.
And we also treat them like such, lol.
Together we can create a dysfunctional OS user base, and this is what we’re missing.
