@pid_eins if I were to try to "backup systemd", what would that look like? Most of my stuff on servers is managed through Ansible, but I'd like to be sure.
Does that mean basically everything in /etc/systemd/?
Whitespace is important when dealing with regexes! Also, the interactive tester at https://regex101.com/ is really handy. Hopefully I got my #RenovateBot working.
I just got my copy of Shift Happens from @mwichary! I've only flipped through it so far but holy crap are the pages are amazing. The quality is superb! What a great weekend I've got coming up. 😊
#TIL that pigz, the parallel implementation of the gzip compression tool, doesn't support parallel decompression. It compresses really fast by doing it in parallel, but the reverse is still single-core. 😟
@thunderbird is there a public timeline of the next expected release of K9? The latest beta resolves a crash I'm encountering (starting a background service for IMAP IDLE, Android 14) and would love to see that go stable.
@nogweii Hi! K-9/Thunderbird for Android will be on our 2024 roadmap, which we'll be publishing as soon as we're finished building it. We definitely want to keep you and our entire community informed on what's coming, including mobile releases, and their planned target dates.
Every year, it impresses me just how big Phoenix is. Who decides to build a giant metropolis in the middle of the desert?! Happy new year, and hopefully another year of smart development!
@Foxboron would you say sbctl and any other bits are ready & stable? Is it as easy as turning on secure boot on my #Framework13 laptop, do some thing in firmware, and set up some pacman hooks? (Getting me secure boot with no conscious maintenance and low/zero risk of an upgrade not being able to reboot.)
If so, is there a tutorial you know (or had written 😅) that guides someone through the setup?
Playing Mario Wonder in the boarding line. Heard an Indian couple complain behind me - some mix of Hindi and the words "playing a game" and "I know, a grown man!" Which, fuck you two. Who cares?
Well, whatever. 🙄 Got on the plane and never saw or heard from them again.
Argh! I think I found out why my Debian EC2 VM isn't acquiring a DHCP address. Its because I was deleting machine-id!
I am building an AMI for rapid deployment of Gitlab CI workers, and part of the preparation phase is to delete /etc/machine-id so that every clone has a unique value. But! The default option for networkd is to generate the DUID using a hash of machine-id. That file won't be generated since in early boot /etc is read-only.
The solution is to write uninitialized, not delete it.
