This is part of the June events.

Time to show off your workflow to everyone! You know the concept.

What is it ?
This is a video compiling a bunch of screencast from the nixers members, all performing the same task, but using their personal setup.
this would result in a compilation showing the personal workflow of each participant, and setting a comparison point between them.

Can I participate ?
Sure ! The more videos we get, the better. Just post your submission and we'll add it !

What are the rules ?
1. Nixers will have to perform the tasks in the exact order they are listed (see below).
2. Nixers must use a single monitor for the screencast
3. Nixers' screen resolution should be above 1280x720
4. Nixers submissions should be in webm format
5. Nixers should submit their compilation before 2021-06-30 at midnight (UTC)

How can I record the video ?
The command to use is the following (adjust the resolution to fit your actual setup, it might also vary as you may find the recording too fast):

Code:
RESOLUTION=$(xwininfo -root | sed -nE 's/-geometry[[:space:]]([[:digit:]]+x[[:digit:]]+)+.*$/\1/p')

Code:
RESOLUTION=1440x900

ffmpeg -f x11grab -s $RESOLUTION -an -r 16 -loglevel quiet -i :0.0 -b:v 5M -y workflow-compil-${USER}.webm

Another example

Code:
RESOLUTION=1440x900

ffmpeg -thread_queue_size 128 -f x11grab -r 30 -s $RESOLUTION -i :0.0 -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -threads 0 -y output.mkv

ffmpeg -i output.mkv workflow-compil-${USER}.webm

For those running OSX:

Code:
RESOLUTION=1440x900

ffmpeg -f avfoundation -s $RESOLUTION -an -r 16 -loglevel quiet -i 0:none -b:v 5M -y workflow-compil-${USER}.webm

To end the video, press `q`.

What is the task list ?

Put on some music
Write some random text to a file in /tmp
Show "toilet", "figlet", ASCII art, and try it in a funny way !
Install a simple software (show pkg management)
Set a wallpaper
Take a scrot ( beautify it if you must ) and upload it to a pastebin of your choice
Join the IRC and paste the link to the scrot in #nixers
Check your RSS feed (optional)
Browse the forum (post something on this thread, you'll edit it later with the actual link of the video)

Submissions

Previous threads: #1, #2, & #3.

Feel free to add more information about your setup as others might be interested in knowing what is actually running in the video. Otherwise, hope on IRC and ask.

Have fun!

The result has been uploaded as webm, on a YouTube mirror, on movq mirror

would be nice to see the short description of your setups - wm, launcher, os, used applications...

It's nothing grandiose compared to what you all posted, but it's still a contribution.

You should take a quick look at who made pmenu ;)

Heh, I'm pmenu's developer.
It's really nice to see other people using pmenu, I get that felling of fulfillment of having a work appreciated by others.
I really like your port of the week post about pmenu, and the port of the week series in general. Your blog is in my Firefox bookmarks!

Does your video end prematurely? It stops in the middle of the posting on the forum. :o

I don't know why but every time I record the screen with ffmpeg, it discards the very last seconds.
After the video stop, I just clicked to post reply, changed the workspace to the one with a terminal running ffmpeg and pressed q to quit and save the video.

	movq Offline \| 04-06-2021, 04:19 PM \| #15

Let’s quickly talk about background music of the final video:

I see users with bright or bright-ish themes and users with dark ones. Maybe we could use some music that fits those themes.

For the bright ones, some happy/uplifting chiptune-y stuff might work. Mort’s “sea major” also works very well.
For the dark themes, maybe dark electro / EBM / industrial? Something along these lines?

The big problem is finding music with a “permissive” license. Creative Commons works, if it doesn’t have the “nd” (non-derivative) clause, which, sadly, a lot of stuff uses. If you know any music in the categories mentioned above which also is CC, let me know!

Hmm, I see nothing wrong with that. :/ Well, if it’s just a few seconds, then I guess it’s fine.

So I expected `miccdd` to be some type of small package manager shell script. But it's just an alias. Hah!

Oh noooooo my shameful alias addiction is out in the open!! haha

Yeah, I really should write shell functions seeing as ksh has autoload builtin. I'll get around to it eventually.
Also, I thought seeing as pkgsrc is native to NetBSD it would be more interesting showing it's usage than a simple pkgin command.

Hey Cyr4x3, would you mind sharing your sxiv/dmenu script to set the wallpaper and also your dmenu screenshot script?

Also, I didn't know about that pb cli tool. I might have to get on that!
Edit: Can't seem to find an up-to-date pb project anywhere, got a link for that?

	prx* Offline \| 07-06-2021, 06:09 AM \| #23

Hi,
nice to see other dmenus users :) That's the **only** tool I really need for almost everything : search engine, music library, app launcher (of course), ssh session, notes taking, bookmarking, manpage searcher, file finder...

Also, minor suggestion for the first post :

Code:
RESOLUTION=$(xwininfo -root | sed -nE 's/-geometry[[:space:]]([[:digit:]]+x[[:digit:]]+)+.*$/\1/p')

Of course, here you are:

The wallpaper thingy consists of 2 scripts really. First i launch the one i called choosebg, which just searches for images in my wallpapers folder and displays them in sxiv and from within sxiv, using sxiv's keyhandler i launch setbg, which launches a dmenu to choose how the wallpaper should be set and sets it with xwallpaper.

The dmenu screenshot script can be found over here: dmenu-scrot.sh (requires maim and xdotool).

Also, the pb cli tool that i used is this one overhere, by xero.

Thanks!

This might be getting a little off topic (and I'm tempted to start a dmenu scripts thread)..

I did some searching and found This dmenu screenshot script which is basically the same but also includes an upload option using something called fb which I cannot find. I wonder if this scrips can be modified in a way to use the pb script by xero, using the 0x0 flag or to just execute a the curl 0x0 command? I've tried a few things but cant quite get it to work.

Ideally, I would love to choose the upload option, have it take a screenshot, upload it to 0x0 and then paste the url link in the notification (for my linux box running gnome links are clickable in notifications). This would be sweet!

fb is paste.xinu tool, it's part of Arch Linux community packages and other distros as fb-client. See here

Thanks Venam. Probably not really necessary for me to install such a tool for one single purpose, plus I already have Xero'd pb script installed. I was hoping someone with more scripting knowledge than I could possibly modify it to work with pb or simply use the curl 0x0 command instead.

I am going to open a new thread on dmenu scripts because there are heaps out there and it might be worthwhile keeping links in one place.

My Workflow is still using GUI applications f.e. for checking Emails I’m mainly using Thunderbird. I really often use newsboat, vim and WeeChat for a couple of reasons. And I don’t want to miss them.

Alright: here’s the screencast: https://upload.disroot.org/r/8NaJ7XLX#4V...ovsUkTUqE= - Link will expire in 30 days

I wish I knew how to record the screen under wayland. Anyway, I don't have much to show off yet as I'm still figuring out how to make a usable wayland desktop. Looking forward to the full vid !
