2·1 month agoHonestly, I was running into the limits of stow. Want to unstow some configs on a bare machine? I hope you wanted that entire directory to be a symlink. Then I saw that someone had actually fixed that many years ago but the maintainer at the time was caught up in some personal crypto related projects and did not appear to be looking at the mailing list.
Chezmoi fixed that, applied a templating engine and added a data mechanism. In moving my stow configs I realized that application specific config file deployments are nice but shouldn’t be necessary. Templates fill that gap, and meshing them with scripts allows you to do some cool things only when variables change.
Plus I was beginning to play around with go at the time, so it just seemed like a good idea to use something I could contribute to if I needed.
I still don’t think I’m using chezmoi to it’s full potential, but I am fairly proud of the script I use to determine data sources for my waybar config on all of my machines.
All public and I regularly link people to my bash functions. Started with git bare repos, moved to stow, now on chezmoi. If I need anything more complex than chezmoi for these I’ll probably give up syncing them altogether.
21·2 months agoThe problem here being these payment processors are global and none of this is illegal in the jurisdictions affected. This regional blocking, while nice, shouldn’t even need to be a “solution” to this. It’s a sledgehammer “solution” to something that was never enough of an issue for actual legislation.
Edit: clarify point
Well, to be fair the 10 series was actually an impressive improvement to what was available. Since then I switched to AMD for better SW support. I know since then the improvements have dwindled.

Why? They are just bringing to light the tools already being used by corps behind closed doors.
Edit: Seems the author wants to paint a different picture. Either extreme CYA or you were correct.
Nah man, waterfall technique applies to everything.
I could never write essays by hand. Too often I would write out a paragraph just to read it, break it up, and subsequently rewrite both parts.
Pinchflat is one of the good containers that doesn’t try to play with ID remapping or anything. You just need a container quadlet like the following:
[Install] WantedBy=default.target [Container] Image=ghcr.io/kieraneglin/pinchflat:latest Environment=TZ=CHANGEME Volume=CHANGEME/config:/config Volume=CHANGEME/downloads:/downloads PublishPort=127.0.0.1:8945:8945It’ll run as the quadlet user id by default.
I haven’t heard anyone talk about puppy Linux in a bit. That used to be the go to for ultra lightweight setups.
All of these alternatives and you missed the best one ripgrep (rg). The other ones in my opinion are nice to have. Recursive multi-threaded grep that respects gitignore files is a must for me.
“I want to know why this is broken. How to fix it can come later.”
Or override the TERM variable in your ssh config. Setting it to an xterm value has been supported by any niche term I’ve used over the years without sacrificing any of the usual functions.
Arch. Started using it in high school. Never had a reason to switch. Now I’m just regularly frustrated by other distros trying to make things easier by abstracting simple configurations behind layers of custom scripts.
AUR, when I can. I run my own binary package repo. App images are an interesting concept, but usually they are compiled against ancient versions of glibc for increased compatibility. Optimizations and CVE patches may or may not be applied, LD lookups are longer, etc.
I’ll keep saying it, this is called a Word Processor. They were cool when they were simple microcontrollers and LCD displays, not so much now.
You have the potential to run into issues if the device is externally managed. At&t likes to push firmware updates at early hours. Cutting power during one of those would be problematic.
