What's that? You mean "Object Oriented"? If yes, are you really a

no, do you know that python doesn't require Object Oriented programming

But then I discovered that to install img2pdf one must first install "pillow," or the Python Imaging Library.
But look at the fucking prerequisites for pillow:

Yes and no... Everything in Python is an object but you don't necessarily need to construct your own classes.

Holy fucking shit! Pillow is just some stupid wrapper

On Gentoo, the pillow install is a whopping 45.5 Megabytes!
All this just for a fucking wrapper???!!!

Integers are immutable objects in Python. When you modify an
integer, a new object is created instead of modifying the existing
one.
x = 10
Wowza!
What do you notice about those id numbers?...

That was just my example. They're actually prefixed with the name of
the newsgroup:
comp.lang.c_551568
comp.os.linux.advocacy_1239605
etc.
No extension.
I use SuckMT for Windows to download them. Well, I try to, but it
doesn't work too well. It always crashes after downloading around 4K
message files.

+ "/"
msgfile = ''
filearr = []
for pfile in os.listdir(msgdir):

msgfile = grpName + '_' + str(articleID)
.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------

line, grpName is the full name of the newsgroup. ID, abbreviation,
group name and other info is in a db table.

A tiny bit.

Yeah, I know ls will list the files in the correct order. I couldn't
make it happen using Windows dir, though.
Windows File Explorer and thunar and Nemo showed them in the correct numerical order.

You can get crafty with a lookup table and stat(2).
I mention this mainly because if Laughing Boy was
capable of reading your article, he'll surely launch
into a cackling fit that might brake his brane. (That
is...if he understood the program, which he probably wouldn't.)
(Regarding article lookups and such, I use a shell script that calls
openssl(1) s_client to connect, log in, and leaves me with
the NNTP prompt...a place at which Feeb would be lost.)

No doubt! Everything should always be written in assembly language.
You can get crafty with a lookup table and stat(2).
I did stat against text files and a couple files in usr/bin, and against EXCEL.EXE, and it called all of them 'regular files'.
How would I use stat and a lookup table to get a better description,
like 'file' provides? Isn't file and the 'magic' db as good as it gets?

If you read the thread (it's old so hard to get to), Fool Feeb's
response to that code was to say it didn't actually work, because it
didn't use ncurses.
(Regarding article lookups and such, I use a shell script that calls
openssl(1) s_client to connect, log in, and leaves me with the NNTP

I use these most of the time: https://imgur.com/a/cj36AzT
Also custom python programs using the soon-to-be-deprecated nntplib
library.
Using that NNTP prompt, can you store messages locally? How?
I just wish lsblk wouldn't tell me I have 3 devices with funny names
like 'sda'. There's only one.
Not that stat(1) program, but the stat(2) system call.

But those are device names, they are not used for referring to files on mounted volumes.

Yes. Of course, as painful as they are, they are way better than

That's better than leaving out the damn punch in column 6.
Those old IBM chain printers were awesome, though. Paper just *spewing*
out.

Note also you might sometimes want lstat(2), not stat(2).
Imagine having to wait so long for your compiler to "warn" you that
you added two numbers, when you should have subtracted them! :-D
Imagine even considering posting such ridiculous lying idiocy as the

Rufus for Winblows

That's one of those rare FOSS-for-Windows-only apps (along with
Notepad++ and SumatraPDF and a few others I'm sure).
Did some looking into Rufus:
* stands for "The Reliable USB Formatting Utility, with Source""
* he claims Rufus is the result of reverse-engineering an old
proprietary HP utility called HPUSBFW
* he claims "as of 2023, Rufus gets downloaded close to 3 million times
each month"
* he has no plans to port it to Linux or MacOS. He thinks a Linux
version that has ~75% of the features of the Windows version would
take him at least 4 months of full-time work.

Rufus is an excellent utility. Unfortunately, even with Rufus, some
Linux ISOs end up not booting because, for whatever reason, the people
behind the distributions enjoy giving us a free preview of what to
expect when running Linux.

Line editors? You mean like 'ed'?

Do you have snaps? Because lsblk is pretty good by itself but snaps put
a lot of garbage in its output.

I know DFS can be a prick, it's just that sometimes it's easier to
accept Usenet as being Usenet, than counterattack. But I'm certainly
not one to talk, as such, because of past times when I was more
emotionally triggered by stuff.

Well, don't you think it's funny? That dumb fsck was too ignorant to understand what was wrong with Relf's statement. I knew, and expert programmer Peter Köhlmann backed me up. But DumFSck claims that I'm a
"tech moron".
I was programming Z80 microprocessors with machine code and building
circuits with TTL logic 40 fscking years ago. DumFSck didn't even
know what hexadecimal was, until recent years. But DumFSck claims
that I'm a "tech moron".
I'm a degreed electrical engineer, and have made a career of being a technical expert in an electronics company. But DumFSck claims that
I'm a "tech moron".

I used to program a *lot*. For fun, in school, and for my job. I've probably forgotten more about programming than that dumb fsck knows
today.
But, according to that dumb fscking liar, not only am I unaware of the
need to test code to make sure that it works, I think that doing so is "stupid"!
A real live wired modem and not an acoustic coupler? You had it good.

I’m not sure why we need it, anyway. dd works fine for simple cases. And for more complex ones, there’s Ventoy.

But you don't know the difference between positive and negative feedback!!!
:-D Obviously I am just teasing you, remembering that feud of
long ago.

There are definitely other disk burners, like gnome-disks.

More functionality and better choice than Rufus.
