Honestly, I was running into the limits of stow. Want to unstow some configs on a bare machine? I hope you wanted that entire directory to be a symlink. Then I saw that someone had actually fixed that many years ago but the maintainer at the time was caught up in some personal crypto related projects and did not appear to be looking at the mailing list.

Chezmoi fixed that, applied a templating engine and added a data mechanism. In moving my stow configs I realized that application specific config file deployments are nice but shouldn’t be necessary. Templates fill that gap, and meshing them with scripts allows you to do some cool things only when variables change.

Plus I was beginning to play around with go at the time, so it just seemed like a good idea to use something I could contribute to if I needed.

I still don’t think I’m using chezmoi to it’s full potential, but I am fairly proud of the script I use to determine data sources for my waybar config on all of my machines.

All public and I regularly link people to my bash functions. Started with git bare repos, moved to stow, now on chezmoi. If I need anything more complex than chezmoi for these I’ll probably give up syncing them altogether.

The problem here being these payment processors are global and none of this is illegal in the jurisdictions affected. This regional blocking, while nice, shouldn’t even need to be a “solution” to this. It’s a sledgehammer “solution” to something that was never enough of an issue for actual legislation.

Edit: clarify point

Well, to be fair the 10 series was actually an impressive improvement to what was available. Since then I switched to AMD for better SW support. I know since then the improvements have dwindled.

Asynchronous trim is interesting to see in a performance optimized config. I remember it actually being slower at deleting files and causing more ware on SSDs that periodic trim.

Usual tracking and fingerprinting issues. Would need to sandbox it to make it secure, but that then makes the fake traffic easier to identify. Not worth it in the end.

That defeats the privacy and bandwidth reasons you’d want to use uBlock but that’s close to the operating idea of AdNauseam.

Now we just need Valve to convince 8bitdo to start working with lvfs again

I just want some doc language that handles conditional sections sanely and has useful appendix tools.

Don’t forget about linkwarden

I think one has to cope with it the same way the inventor of the ice pick had to cope with Walter Jackson Freeman II. You can’t really control what people do with your tools. If you think someone actively destroying lives will bend to the whims of a license, that’s cool. I wish I had that level of optimism. Right now it’s still pulling teeth to get companies to respect GPLv3.

Pinchflat is one of the good containers that doesn’t try to play with ID remapping or anything. You just need a container quadlet like the following:

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

[Container]
Image=ghcr.io/kieraneglin/pinchflat:latest

Environment=TZ=CHANGEME

Volume=CHANGEME/config:/config
Volume=CHANGEME/downloads:/downloads

PublishPort=127.0.0.1:8945:8945

It’ll run as the quadlet user id by default.

I haven’t heard anyone talk about puppy Linux in a bit. That used to be the go to for ultra lightweight setups.

All of these alternatives and you missed the best one ripgrep (rg). The other ones in my opinion are nice to have. Recursive multi-threaded grep that respects gitignore files is a must for me.

“I want to know why this is broken. How to fix it can come later.”

Or override the TERM variable in your ssh config. Setting it to an xterm value has been supported by any niche term I’ve used over the years without sacrificing any of the usual functions.

Arch. Started using it in high school. Never had a reason to switch. Now I’m just regularly frustrated by other distros trying to make things easier by abstracting simple configurations behind layers of custom scripts.

AUR, when I can. I run my own binary package repo. App images are an interesting concept, but usually they are compiled against ancient versions of glibc for increased compatibility. Optimizations and CVE patches may or may not be applied, LD lookups are longer, etc.

Sway still primarily counts as a WM + Compositor, but considering it has keymaps, autostart, and libinput config mechanisms embedded in it, I would say it borders a desktop environment.

The inhibit_idle specifier is cool, thanks for the pointer. This two liner can be replaced with:

for_window [all] inhibit_idle fullscreen
