That… doesn’t really explain anything, but good luck anyway.

What made you choose this particular community to post your story?

Why would you post this article here, in this community?

Did you cross-post your blog to the wrong place?

What is this and how is it relevant to the community you’re posting in?

hence the distraint

Is this a typo or a cool new word I can use?

In a technical context, yes, a GIF refers to a specific image format. However, plenty of people now use “gif” to mean any short soundless video loop, regardless of how that video is stored.

It’s silly, but I can see how it happened.

No. Duolingo is a for-profit company.

And even if they were a non-profit org, cutting jobs isn’t a good thing. It’s sometimes an unfortunate necessity.

Yeah some of the libraries near me have a selection of video games on the shelves. At least one even has board games.

I love libraries.

Those caps are meant to affect the way you read it.

In this post, the capital letters (plus the “How To”) suggest a title, like a book or something.

Ha, I missed that part. Subtle.

My friend had light switches that glowed with a bright blue LED glow.

I couldn’t stand it. I prefer to sleep in the actual darkness.

Syncthing may not have its own Web-based file browser but a regular Web server (like Apache or ngninx) can show a list of files in a directory without much configuration. Just point it at a shared folder. You could configure a fancier file browser like Filestash, File Browser Quantum, or even Nextcloud if you feel it’s worthwhile.

Likewise, Syncthing may not have its own concept of a “main” hoster, but it doesn’t need to: you can decide what “main” means to you. Perhaps the one you designate “main” has different ignore patterns, or a longer retention policy.

“Keeping some files remote” can be simply making sure your ignore patterns are set how you want them, if that works for you.

Color codes will pass through pipes just like any other output.

In this case, your grep is being smarter than you want and actually parsing the incoming color codes itself.

You can try a simpler program like head, tail, or even sed -n /ii/p to see it for yourself.

You can also control GNU grep’s color processing with --color but you may not find exactly what you seek.

MODE=0022 sounds like user perms are different from group and other.

0022 in octal perms corresponds to u=rwx, g=rx, o=rx.

I don’t know if udev “MODE” is the relevant thing here but you could try 0002 so the user part and group part are the same.

Do you mean you want to put the resulting image files into a particular folder on your computer?

I would have thought anything to do with folders and stuff is up to your scanning software, not the scanning device.
