Dotfiles matter! Please stop dumping files in users’ $HOME directories.

Jump

  • I just keep my stuff far away from $HOME and not bother about the junk. Not even a subdirectory under $HOME.

    Same goes for ' My documents' on windows.

    • [Help] go and perl5 folders in ~/

  • I don't like the mess some software makes when it install in my system

    I gave up bothering about this a decade ago and I just store my files elsewhere while software treat the home directory as 'application data'.

    • Forgetting the basics look like this.

  • Well, we could allow root login via passwordless telnet so that they can be extra sure that we aren't hiding anything.

  • Together we can make this happen!

  • Remove the battery Wait, you can't do that these days...

    • i feel like this is a threat

sleep 120 #TODO: actually solve a problem
echo "Sorry, we could not solve this problem."

  • Gosh, if I ever get into the business of writing software for spacecraft with long duration missions, I have to test for such cases.

    • How do you all go about backing up your data, on Linux?

    Jump

  • Features necessary for most btrfs use cases are all stable, plus btrfs is readily available in Linux kernel whereas for zfs you need additional kernel module. The availability advantage of btrfs is a big plus in case of a disaster. i.e. no additional work is required to recover your files.

    (All the above only applies if your primary OS is Linux, if you use Solaris then zfs might be better.)

  • I use rsync+btrfs snapshot solution.

    1. Use rsync to incrementally collect all data into a btrfs subvolume
    2. Deduplicate using duperemove
    3. Create a read-only snapshot of the subvolume

    I don't have a backup server, just an external drive that I only connect during backup.

    Deduplication is mediocre, I am still looking for snapshot aware duperemove replacement.

  • Thanks for information.

    Some day I might try to controllaby worsen process creation and file access of Linux to match windows performance. Not today though.

  • Windows is so not optimised (unoptimized?) that I cannot even see what is slow anymore. Doesn't look like windows is targeted for anything in this state.

    • The more you look, the weirder it gets

    Jump

  • Man, this is so cursed I got drunk by just watching it.

    Solaris and BSD are missing.

  • Everything seems to be way faster on Linux than on windows for some reason.

    On one occasion I tested a build that took ~10 min on windows, in a Linux VM installed on the same machine, it finished in ~1min.

    I have searched around for an answer for quite some time now, I could not find any definitive reason. Some say that process creation is slower on windows, some say IO is inefficient. Still struggling to explain 10x increase in throughput.

    • Red Hat refuses Alma's CVE patches to CentOS Stream; says "no customer demand"

    Jump

  • That's too much effort. Just advertise the CVE fix and let a paying customer do the effort.

    • what iso's are a must for ultimate ventoy disk(and what size is recomended)?

    Jump

  • I keep Arch Linux installed on a USB drive, no ISO for me.

    • What's everyone's favourite "oh shit" live ISO?

    Jump

  • Based on the title, I misunderstood as "oh shit I messed up real bad while booted into this ISO". (I have that one too.)

    Until recently I have been switching between Ubuntu ISO and custom Arch ISO. Now I have a regular Arch install on a fast USB drive for repairs (not ISO).
