I feel like we’ve been having the same conversation for 20 years. Meanwhile the linux family of operating systems is now the most widely deployed in the world.

Not sure what your goal is but to make it so nothing can be exexuted in there you can put /home on its own filesystem and mount it with the “noexec” option.

i love mpd and will check this out

I picked up a Denon DNP-730AE network audio player on ebay and I run Tiny-DLNA on my server where the music files and playlists are stored.

Works great and sounds great.

A while ago I did this by making a custom wallpaper with a box on it and set the capture region to the box.

If you ran this as a non-root user then you didn’t move any system files you just made some copies. Delete the new copies and you should be fine.

I use nix for extra packages on my linux desktop. I don"t like brew at all.

Yes its CLI based

You can do this easily with Tailscale or a similar wiregaurd vpn.

It is easier than you think.

I never said how easy I think it is so what are you basing this response on?

I wouldn’t even think about charging anyone for anything until you get it all setup and dialed in with backups, etc and are sure you know how to keep the service running.

Then write a howto instead of asking here. That shouldn’t take much.

How so? if I compromise a containerized app I get all the data that app has access to.

From a security standpoint, each and every container running actually increases the potential attack surface.

Keeping containers up to date for security and bugfixes is just as important as OS packages.

If you are going to store important data I would get a new drive. Either replace the internal or attach an external.

Also make backups.

Its a personal style choice.

With a blank line before the ‘while’ and another after the ‘done’ its a nice little easy to identify block. I don’t know how the ‘while’ would look like its not a part of that block.

A midline semicolon just looks ugly to me so I don’t do it unless it is the only way to make a statement work.

No the opposite. I think more shorter lines makes it easier to read than fewer longer lines.

It just looks weird to me to stick a semicolon into the middle of a line when a compound command isn’t actually needed.

I feel exactly the opposite.

while true do stuff done

looks much more clean to me.

Yes totally a personalstyle choice. To me, using a semicolon to save a line looks more ugly ; then ;)
