In today’s chautauqua…
I used to work in audio, some of these superstition-level solutions are hilarious. I remember a site that sold little baggies of rocks that you hung from your IEC cables at the wall outlet, and I think they were almost $100 before shipping (7 or 8 years ago).
One thing I do like from the audiophile world though: elecrostat speakers. They’re just neat.

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.
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.
Maybe the acid square should be Mimosa hostilis/Peyote instead to keep with the plant theme, but either way that one hits the hardest for me
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.

Indeed, I was referring to Martin. I’m not holding my breath, as there are supposed to be two more books, but perhaps at least one will appear at some point!
The Insect-kindens! And it is quite a lengthy series, at that, if anyone is looking for something new to get into (not to mention he actually finishes series, unlike another fantasy writer…)
No spood lovers in here?! I could watch those Darth Maul lookin’ mofos all day long.
Also love the joros 'cause they eat that which I despise the most: the brown marmorated stink bug.
I’m not sure that was an AI summary, I think that is OP that wrote that. I don’t see anything about a jungle cat in the actual screenshot.
