I keep seeing ads for suped-up laptops for #Linux, and that's great and all--I know a lot of people are really into just how damn fast they can download an update--but I'm way more interested in, "I got my MacBook 2007 to be perfectly serviceable with #DebianLight or whatever." I want to breathe life into an old piece of shit, not acquire yet another piece of tech I'll have to recycle someday.
ah, IT issues... yesterday I tripped a fuse when making dinner (the electric kettle somehow creates a power surge just before boiling, and when the oven runs at the same time it gets tripped).
When I put it back my small rpi server in the living room all of a sudden makes issues. It runs, and I can connect to it from the outside, but somehow not from inside my home network.
But I ping it and it seems to be on... but I just can't seem to ssh onto it anymore.
after troubleshooting way too long into the night this morning it finally dawns on me: when I tripped the fuse the rpi rebooted, but my laptop didn't. So when the network came back the laptop registered on the network first and by chance got the IP the rpi normally reserves for itself.
So all the time when I was trying to ping my little server I was pinging my own notebook and of course I saw it as online
@coffe
Everything comes to what do you need and like.
I3 is tilling, lightweigh and so much easy to configure
Awesome is bloated, to much things that nobody really uses in a wm
DWM is tilling, lighweight but it's configure in compile time, that means that you need to recompile it every time you want to change anything in you config.
Spectrwm is a fork of DWM with a config file.
Bspwm is the most complete, easy to configure and use that you can find.
Mini had strong specs for 2014 (1TB SSD and 16GB RAM) and is a bit overpowered for a lightweight distro which should run with just 256 MB of RAM.
The dual core i7 didn’t age so well though. Well you won’t notice until you launch a slow motion operating system simulator . I mean a browser on today’s shiternet.
I think I’ll settle on AntiX Linux for now on the mini. It’s Debian based, no systemd, starts with icewm. Very light out of the box. I wouldn’t recommend it for newbies as it feels more nerdy than say KDE Neon or plain Ubuntu. But as a nerdy person I like it. Seems fast stable and usable.
@kaia email me (webmaster@cyberciti.biz) or privately dm ray ID that is at the bottom of that page and I will look into it why WAF prompted for verification?
@antranigv Note: the reason you can't use mount.fstab is because this parses the file line by line makes regular mount commands out of it instead of just using mount -F to the file! And there's not even a way to make mount ignore already-mounted errors unless you use -F
Maybe it would be easiest to umount the stopped jail as you will know for sure it was torn down correctly if you can successfully do that
@athas I have a pretty large feature surface with all my systems and nixos-unstable broke too often for me. Blocking updates. So yeah, I follow the stable channels. And yes, they get backports.
Got my first development environment (Jekyll website) running in NixOS on my Framework laptop using devenv. That makes this my first successful dev environment in nix. :) Nice work @domenkozar!
Is there any text-based, ideally distributed monitoring software out there? I want a TUI that shows me (e.g. with green/red highlights) the reachability of hosts (simple ping checks) while I'm doing network maintenance. Like a really simple, curses based nagios? It would probably look like a bloomberg terminal.. (I know this wouldn't be too hard to implement.. but I can't really believe it's not already out there...) #linux#TUI#monitoring#network#networking#sysadmin#software#curses
@jlsksr I know of several network or system command line monitors. Unfortunately I'm not aware of one similar for event monitoring for servers that is a CLI. I would love to see one myself.
#alacritty in the #debian#sid package has been sat at V0.12.2-2 for almost a year now. The latest version is stuck in the #experimental packages. I build alacritty myself using cargo crates and have had no issues with V0.13. I'm guessing it's the switch from YAML to TOML for the config that's the issue. But surely you can create a script to convert this? Poor stable is still at V0.11 :loading: .
@kura I like laying the separate windows over each other when working in multiple terminals. It's just different ways of achieving the same result. I purposefully make sure I can only work in one at a time. I'm very easily distracted. Even when working in an IDE I sometimes have multiple terminals overlapping the sides of the window.
@nixCraft One thing I've always wondered is why group access isn't ok if the group is the user's own named group (eg if username is Person, the group name would be Person.) Which is going to almost always be the case with anything in the ~/.ssh directory anyway. I get the security implications of allowing anything else access, but why is the user's own named group not ok?
My "Screenshot Dump" folder is so out of control. I need to do some culling BUT I also need to save and rename some so I can find them at a later date.
What I wish #Linux had was a desktop application that could identity objects and expressions in pictures similar to how Google Photos (others are available while stocks last) does.
Because I don't want to upload 2000 images to my Google drive to find the one I'm looking for with a /laugh emote in it.
