true for open source software though, a lot of open source devs are mini dictators

When I ran my open source project, I was discerning as to what code I’d accept from people.

Does that make me a little dictator if I don’t want to then maintain removed code from someone who doesn’t know what a comma splice is, like above?

Sorry if you do code better than you write.

Flatpaks are a cancer. Got anything else?

What is a bash script?

At this point in time, I need to stop you.

There’s a massively-increased risk of you being misled by someone else’s agenda without knowing it’s not the simplest and most effective solution to your problem because there’s a lot of technical stuff you may not know and can’t pick from available options based on their nuances. So:

1. find a real person you trust who knows this
2. ask them

Whatever they tell you, they’ll be able to support. Ensure you’re the one typing so you learn things, and ask every question you think of all the time.

Stop asking random strangers which solution is best, because you’re going to get a lot of short-sighted clique answers that DO NOT HELP YOU.

I’m going to mention Ansible

Oh for the love of god, don’t. Ansible is 2002 technology used in 2024. It’s so clunky and janky that I’m relieved I can get chatgpt to boilerplate my stuff and save me time actually staring at removeding YAML all day. Use Anything Else before your brain rots.

source: it’s like half my day job now and I should’ve charged more.

replicable.

As someone who spent time in OS Build/Relmgmt before security, I have a pressing desire to play the “how do you know” game, here.

The only thing is that I would want the way I’ve configured Gnome, Joplin, Thunderbird, Gnome Calendar (only for the widget), my Gnome extensions, what program is automatically opened on what workspace, etc to be saved so that it could be reproduced on another computer easily.

These sound like user settings that don’t even exist outside ~/ . Rsync is your friend. So is git, gluster, syncthing, resilio, and a good bunch of others depending on how often you want synch to occur and how much time you have to spend.

you need to fix the UUID

Don’t use UUIDs. They serve a very specific purpose, which you’re now trying to defeat (for all the right reasons).

Fix your mounts and then carry on.

Rfc2142.

I keep hoping someone will come up with a half-measure that looks like ipv4 with an extra octet and writable in hex.

• Let people stew a bit on their 00c0a8011f IP which is like a 192.168.1.31 IP.
• increment the big number. Oh removed, we’ve got lots.
• repeat
• start adding the cool parts of ipv6
• moar
• add a 00 to the end that old removed just skips
• somewhere in there, switch the engine

We can either take yeeeears to do it well, or we can take more decades to try and big-bang it. This ain’t 1983.

I’m running ZFS at two jobs and my homelab.

Terabytes and terabytes. Usually presented to the hypervisor as a lun and managed on the VM itself.

I don’t run proxmox, though. Some ldoms, some esx, soon oVirt.

rightaway

Not a word. Spell-check should have told you.

Twice.

In 5 steps it violates ISO27002 3 times.

I’d say any setup result is purely accidental on the way to something far more exciting.

Ah, so a correlation/causation comprehension conundrum affects both your comments on this page. That’s some good coverage, Lou.

because the another backdoor

You’re gonna want a cat-scan.

I’d look over the server install if the process had docs.

I looked at matrix but the server setup was janky – enamoured of the current mayfly shine tools, and when I saw mumble install cleanly on my tiny arm box it was a sea change. No longer have the tiny arm box but I still run mumble.

I’d be super happy if it and its polite codecs were brought into the fed but I haven’t been paying attention.

Yay mumble!

And I agree: it’s better. I think it’s faster and that, IMHO, is where the power is. It can look boring like a hammer as long as it’s intuitive … like a hammer.

If it’s only GNU Linux - and not regular Linux - then we know it’s not the Linux where the issue occurs. ;-)

(Just analyzing what’s said. It’s probably all linuxes if it’s not a glibc issue)

I’m so flattered!
