In today’s chautauqua…
It wasn’t at all clear that you had a 2nd monitor connected, that is also useful information. Still, not enough data to really know.
Are both monitors the same make and model? If not, then it seems likely there’s an issue with your GPU or HDMI cable, but the symptoms are different because the monitors are manufactured by different companies. If the monitors are identical to each other, then we’re back to most likely being an issue with the 1st monitor.
This is the problem with assuming, there’s nothing in their notes about having a second monitor connected at the same time as the one that is tearing. This possibility didn’t even occur to me, but it’s plausible.
edit: literally a minute after I reply, OP confirms you are correct in your assumption.
although another monitor flicker when the monitor tears.
I assume that you mean “the 2nd monitor flickers under the same conditions that the 1st monitor tears”, or are you saying that you have tried 3 separate monitors, all with different behavior?
Take your time and walk through all the steps that folks have laid out for you in these comments, and try to answer each question we’re asking. There just isn’t enough detail for us to give solid answers or further suggestions.
Ohhh, very odd. I’ve been noticing a lot of inconsistencies between Lemmy and PieFed like this, and now an app is something else entirely. Seems the fediverse is not unified on markdown support!
Apologies if I came off as condescending, not my intention.
I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking about. Do you mean the directory names?
In unix, ~ expands to the user’s home directory path and / just separates each level in the path.
You might be on the right track thinking it’s the monitor, but could also be related to the GPU (assuming it’s the same PC/card that tears across different OS’s).
If different machines all tear the same way, then I’d say definitely the monitor and the manufacturer may or may not be able to give some insight.
Otherwise, I think we might need some more details about the machine’s hardware to be able to give any meaningful advice other than double-checking driver versions and firmware updates, etc.
Things that might be helpful:
I do a similar thing for code stuffs, generally always make a ~/Git and ~/Godot so I always have a spot for things.
I also delete most of the auto-created ones if I’m using a DE that does that, because I have my own organization going on with various external/network drives. Only one I have always kept is ~/Downloads.
I used to wear too many hats at work, now I wear too many socks at home
Indeed, folks tend not to look into the docs enough to realize find is a powerful tool on its own!
I think the other answers were just adhering to the request (trying to troubleshoot the script as is), but I generally go for pragmatism despite not being what was actually requested.
It might be instance related, I’m on PieFed, so perhaps the markdown implementation is different.
Also, I realized that the parameter expansion might not be straightforward and added the GNU docs on it, but looks like you found a post about it at the same time! Glad to hear it got you sorted out.
You can do the entire thing as a one-liner using only find:
find ./ -type f \( -iname "*.jpg" -or -iname "*.png" \) -exec sh -c 'mv "$0" "$(uuidgen -r).${0##*.}"' {} \;

btw, Lemmy doesn’t like language specifiers in the multi-line code blocks, so it’s difficult to read all that in its current form since there are no tabs to know how you have it formatted. Makes it virtually impossible to troubleshoot your specific script.

Not OP, but I also live in the woods (albeit I’m in a 4x4 vehicle and don’t stay in one place for long periods).
The point for me is not to, and nature is my TV. When I do need internet, though, I’m in town stocking up on supplies or hanging out in a coffee shop.
Also, though, 5G and the abundance of towers means that hotspots work in a lot more places than they used to. More often than not, my phone still gets data even deep in the middle of nowhere. I’m not doing any gaming or streaming, but again I don’t necessarily want to. It’s just a tool to get information some times and make dumb internet comments.
Simply replay, or “replay as if it were the first time again?”
The latter: Final Fantasy on NES
The former: I never stopped replaying FTL and Into The Breach, and I always end up back on them
yes, I’ve played ALL the overhaul mods for both ;D
I was in a really bad place, mentally, while on the road a couple years back. Had a dual sport motorbike and decided to be really, really reckless in the middle of the desert in Terlingua, TX. Ended up nose diving into a hole, smashing my face on my windshield, and eating a lot of sand. Busted my goggles, the windshield, and the clutch lever was toast.
When I finally got up and started to lift my bike off the ground, I found a bunch of peculiar tiny rocks near where I had kicked up all the dust. Ran a magnet over them, and sure enough they were meteorite fragments. Made a necklace out of one and took the others back to camp with me and gave them to my traveling partners at the time.
If you’re ever in that area, do yourself a favor and check out Agua Fria. Cowboy camping out there is magnificent, and the natural spring it’s named after is, well, very aptly named. Very quiet and it might just change your life.
Believe it or not, it’s still less work than NixOS (at least for a daily-driver OS)
Incredibly simple, free, and quick thing to add for user confidence. Doesn’t sit well with me they can’t be bothered, what else does that attitude apply to in the OS?
It’s 2025, the EFF and certbot exists, but no https? Interesting.
Any who, thanks. I’ll check it out, but I’m a little bit turned off by the above.
This reminded me of my old friend DSL, had to check up on it. Didn’t realize they re-released it!
No longer at the 50MB size, but still 700MB would be great for a small OS on this odd piece of older hardware.
