Do you use bash? If not, which one do you use? zsh, fish? Why do you do it?

Mostly fish, because it just feels much more modern than bash, it has good built-in autocomplete and I don’t have to install millions of plugins like of zsh.

Do you write #!/bin/bash or #!/bin/sh? Do you write fish exclusive scripts?

#!/usr/bin/env bash Occasionally I also write fish scripts. Just replace sh with fish.

What should’ve people told you what to do/ use?

zoxide

general advice?

As @crispy_kilt@feddit.de already suggested, use shellcheck.

is it bad practice to create a handful of commands like podup and poddown that replace podman compose up -d and podman compose down or podlog as podman logs -f --tail 20 $1 or podenter for podman exec -it “$1” /bin/sh?

I don’t think so

Twiit (https://twiiit.com/) checks for nitter instances that still work and redirects you.

I wouldn’t actually selfhost email, it’s not particularly easy and there are many issues you will probably encounter. I recommend ProtonMail, it’s $3.50/month if you only need email and for $8/month you also get calendar, cloud storage, a password manager and a great VPN. Also, they are very focused on privacy and encryption and their apps are open source. Alternatively you can go with IVPN or Mullvad, both are great. Digitalocean has been fine in my experience, have you had any issues with it?

No, it doesn’t use ActivityPub. It’s a separate decentralized protocol.

I was just curious. Use whatever works best for you.

When overpriced streaming services keep becoming worse and worse, it’s hard to avoid piracy

You mean XCP-ng?

• XCP-ng on my virtualization host
• TrueNAS Core on my NAS
• Ubuntu Server on my Jellyfin media server
• Debian on my other server that I use for testing purposes
• DietPi on my Raspberry Pi

Wouldn’t Linux be easier to manage and better in terms of performance?

Damn, fuck Windows. Fortunately I don’t have to use it.

The ONLY DNS server you should have set on your network is a/the PiHole(s).

That’s exactly what I do, since I never had any stability issues with my Pihole.

Windows calls them ‘preferred’ and ‘alternate’ DNS servers. That roughly translates to primary/secondary.

Use something like AdGuard or NextDNS as your secondary resolver
