Question 1:
I want to copy a file to clipboard, how can I do this using cli? I have this file “home/$USER/example.svg” and I want to copy it to clipboard without manually doing it. I tried to ask ChatGPT to help me with it, it didn’t :(
I am pretty sure there is a copy to clipboard option in Thunar and Nemo file managers but I don’t know how to use it. My google searches have been so far fruitless. Please help me copy it?
Use Case: I want to copy it and paste it to Obsidian.md file. Obsidian is a text manager which supports Mathjax but not Latex, so in order to get a semblance of greater Latex support, I want to convert tex to svg and copy it from the folder to clipboard (without opening the folder) and then paste it.
Question 2: Do you have a anonymous file sharing service you use to share videos and images? If so, what is it? imgur helps with images and videos lower than 1 mins, but above that, it won’t accept uploads.
Also, bashify.io and emalm.com seems to be ok ok in this regard. The problem is, I don’t know enough about them to trust them. mehh…
Use case: If I have a problem with my system, I want to share the video of the problem I am facing to Linux forums and I want it to be instantly accessible
Question 3: Is it ok to move random file script you find on the internet into a root folder which is included in your $PATH variable?
https://github.com/tremby/imgur.sh
I was trying to use this script and it is my understanding that if you have a script in a folder included in your path variable, then you don’t have to actually specify the path to run it. You can just give it’s name and press enter to execute it.
am I right so far and should I move that script into my path variable folder? What are the risks?
and why were you downvoted :')
can’t people just explain what they disagree with instead of downvoting?
edit: You could use Bing ChatGPT on firefox? I didn’t know that. it didn’t give me the desired result, but Thank you
