I help #Ruby developers and #Linux sysadmins to deliver results faster, better and more reliably. Specialized on IT teams of one to ten who have little time to level up.
I'm sure this has been asked many times, but how are people password protecting their @owncast streams?
Was about to use it for some students following from home but I don't want to make the stream public.
One way I suppose is to embed the stream in a password-protected page, but that still means the stream is public for those who figure out the stream url...
@kubikpixel Fedora Silverblue hat mir eine ganz neue Seite der Linux-Distributionen gezeigt. Eine Seite, die mir nach der Eingewöhnungsphase sehr gut gefällt! Wenn du Neuland begehen willst, ist eine der Immutable-Linux-Distributionen auf jeden Fall einen Versuch wert.
@thelinuxEXP I don't get the point. The /sys filesystem is virtual, provided by the Linux kernel, not a file storage location. Since it's managed by the kernel, it behaves identically between all Linux distributions.
@thelinuxEXP@jorge@frigidcode You just didn't know a working approach. I installed Resolve in a Fedora Workstation distrobox on my Fedora Silverblue workstation, works like a charm.
@thelinuxEXP You’d have to do that on every distribution since, as I pointed out before, this is a kernel thing. Turning that into an argument against a specific distribution is disingenuous.
@thelinuxEXP@jorge@frigidcode Okay, if you define “limited” as “requires a few extra steps for broken edge cases” then you’re right. I don’t find it helpful, though.
@changelog And that’s why I’m giving community online courses in Linux system administration. I love to see all the “OMG this is so much easier” feedback!
sat down at the computer this morning and my wired interim keyboard just worked. No needing to toggle Bluetooth off and on again in order to type anything.
Oh no! I just learned that #FlockToFedora is going to be in Ireland! And it's happening next week -- right when I'm leaving for holidays. 😭 This would have been such a great opportunity to get to know the Fedora community. Well, next time then!
It looks like there is no easy way to export one's account settings from Thunderbird, to import them onto another machine, without also moving the whole message store.
I just want to export settings, import them on the new machine, and then download messages from my mail server.
It looks like I can do it by faffing around with rsync and rsync exclusion rules, but am I missing something?
@thelinuxcast It won’t. You install your “extras” as overlays, and they will be preserved and upgraded. As Jorge said, it’s just about keeping this “extras” list short so you don’t lose the benefits of the concept. My rule is “overlay what needs to be there at boot time”, ie all the WM and X11 stuff.
@Karb_Derg I didn't purchase any laptop and then installed my distribution of choice on it. I bought a laptop from Tuxedo which I knew would work nicely, and then installed my distribution of choice on it.
I get, and fully support, the... "unhappiness" around #GitHub#Copilot violating people's OS licenses when it suggests uncredited and unlicensed snippets as if they're new creations.
At the same time, using it for writing inline docs faster has been a game changer. I'm writing so many more, and as far as I can tell this can't violate anyone's license, because it's just comments about my code.
having a discussion on slack. friendly seeming back and forth about test failure i introduced.
Couple minutes later, a DM from the CTO / (my manager): "Kay, i’ll ping you after lunch"
😱 terror.
Being #actuallyautistic i'm constantly in fear of allistic people on slack thinking i'm arguing or violating some invisible social rule they can't actually describe.
few seconds later...
"blah blah ... like you to take over CI build responsibility... blah blah "
@masukomi Yeah, turns out I missed the “seconds later” part; that why my response overshot.
What I was referring to were more the ominous messages some leaders drop such as “We need to talk. Do you have time tomrrow morning?” Those tend to cause even neurotypical people like me anxiety. Especially in today’s climate.
You've started using #Linux, and now you'd like to learn more about the terminal and the internals of the operating system? My free Linux Administration Master Course covers everything from at to zsh. Sign up now, the course is starting soon!
Hey my dearest followers. I need your help. I finished my last project today. As soon as I am getting home, I am downloading #linux and installing it before I am even greeting my mom or wife. I am so over windows and will never return back to it again. I am currently looking at #PopOs#Manjaro#Ubuntu. Shill yours to me and give me your best recommendations!
This video rings bells for me. I've been using 3 displays for years now on my Linux laptop. but recently I've started using a laptop with full screen apps when I'm away from my desk. I find myself more productive. https://youtu.be/bIDL6buGNBY
@popey At my desk, I like to have the screen real estate of my ultrawide monitor. But on my laptop, I use Sway with stacked windows, which is essentially single window-mode, too.
we've got pretty good test coverage on the codebase at work (dunno enough yet to say great) but holy 💩 does it take forever to run. Like multiple hours (literally). I think it's like 20 mins parallelized on the CI, and yes i know i can parallelize it locally too. but still.... UGH
#Rails is WAY too reliant on hitting the DB during tests.
@masukomi That depends on what kind of tests you need to run, though. Integration tests that actually run the whole HTTP interaction have to rely on DB access.
Unit tests, OTOH, will often be satisfied with a build instead of a create.
@thelinuxcast Efficient keybinds are heavenly. I’m so used to my <leader>w that I keep pressing it in Obsidian (with vim plugin) although Obsidian doesn’t even have a save function.
