Just put your system configuration in Ansible playbook. When your distro has new release, go through your changes and remove ones that are no longer relevant.
For home, I recommend a dotfiles repository with subdirectories for each tool, like bash, git, vim, etc. Use GNU stow
to symlink the required files in place on each machine.
Finnish indeed. I’m not aware of any alternative layouts. å is completely unnecessary for finnish, so maybe the layouts you mentioned could work.
Typing \
in those cases instead of _
is super annoying.
In my keyboard layout backspace is behind altgr.
Does alt+arrow work in your terminal?
What would be the most common username and hostname?
Are there even any default usernames in distros?
As for hostname, I think Debian defaults to debian
.
This is the way.
Add unattended-upgrades, and never worry about security updates.
Owned by Oracle. Stay away from Oracle.
I guess MRU means Most Recently Used.
Please include explanations for abbreviations you mention.
I recommend just backing up the files.
But if you really have to back up the disk image, dd a copy of it, mount the copied image as loopback device, write the loopback filesystem full of /dev/zero, sync, delete the zero file(s), unmount, cp --sparse=always and store the result.
The reason for using the loopback image step is to prevent wearing out the SD card with writing the free space full of zeros every time you make a backup.
There may be an existing tool for this, but I don’t remember it.
Juwt remember “man chmod”.
No idea if they’re any good, hopefully I’ll never look at them
Well, better to be prepared. When you are starving and freezing from cold in a forest, lost and about to be mauled by a black bear, it’s nice to have that stick around so you can quickly grab it and shove it sideways up in the arse of the bear.
We run production loads on 2.6 kernel. Please don’t ask questions.
Tab Grouping would be great if implented well.
Dan Goodin seems to write sensationalist articles of vulnerabilities. Then buried in a footnote you notice that the vulnerability doesn’t really affect anyone in real world.
How does systemd-run
/run0
handle what /etc/sudoers
currently does?
I’m disappointed in how little technical discussion there is in this thread.
Someone excitedly demonstrated to me how easy it is to code with copilot. They generated a bunch of code easily. And then proceeded to debug subtle bugs for longer than it would have taken to write it yourself in the first place.
And in the end they were still left with badly structured and maintainable code.
LLMs will do exactly what Stackoverflow has done, but more efficiently: allow profileration of bad/outdated solutions to problems, and application of those with no real understanding.
More garbage code and more work for the few people who continue to actually read manuals and understand what they are doing.
What are the other solutions?
Use software owned by Oracle? Fuck that, I would rather get mauled by a bear.
