Bisexual_Cookie, in what caused you to get into Linux?
@Bisexual_Cookie@hexbear.net avatar

Windows kept getting in the way of my productivity (I constantly needed to find workarounds for problems that didn’t exist or were much easier to solve on linux, and I couldn’t customize the ui to my liking) + it lacked basic things like a tabbed file-manager (before win11) and my hardware was getting slower so I jumped ship.

I got into Linux because BSD didn’t have enough hardware support.

Sophia7Inches, in what caused you to get into Linux?

Certain games wouldn’t run in Windows, but ran perfectly fine on Linux. This was the tipping point for me to fully switch to Linux. Gaming never been so smooth and pleasant for me as it is on Linux now. No more random crashes, driver shit, etc.

Curiosity, followed by realizing how good it is for development.

knfrmity, in How to take actions on multiple docker containers at once

You can use the container names to address containers. Whether this is a randomly generated name (docker run… with no --name flag), the compose working dir and service name, or the compose container_name var.

I also rarely use the container command. docker is sufficient, or docker compose … while in the working dir of a given compose stack.

Nibodhika, in Ipod problems

Never had an iPod, so I can’t really help you, but have you tried the arch wiki? wiki.archlinux.org/title/IPod

Zealousideal_Fox900,

Thanks for your help. Sadly it doesn’t help much for Linux Mint.

Nibodhika,

Other than the way you installed the packages there’s nothing intrinsically arch on that wiki. I recommend you read the page and see if it helps before assuming it doesn’t because you’re using a different distro, arch wiki is great even if you don’t use arch.

Zealousideal_Fox900,

Hey mate, I did read through it and it was of no use to me. Thanks for your help.

bizdelnick,

What is the problem? I used rhythmbox for that ~15 years ago and it worked.

muhyb,

Rhythmbox or GTKpod don’t work with iPod Nano 6 & 7.

Zealousideal_Fox900,

Doesn’t recognise my Ipod at all.

Nibodhika,

Ah, sorry, your reply was 8 min after I sent the link which seemed awfully short to test the different approaches listed there, I assumed you hadn’t read it and just discarded for being a different distro. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.

Zealousideal_Fox900,

All good.

whostosay,

Man I love this place. So much less “Fuck you, ur dumb bc xyz” than reddit. Y’all are awesome.

Bratwurstboy, in what caused you to get into Linux?

I always liked tinkering with shit. Modding gameboys, custom fw on my phones and psp… It was the next logical step.

Caitlynn, in what caused you to get into Linux?

My Mainboard had somesort of error, where Windows wouldnt Work, Linux did tho

somegeek, in I finally switched back to Linux as my daily driver after a couple of years of being on nothing but Windows.

Mint is just lovely

Diplomjodler,

It’s a breath of fresh air…

somegeek, in what caused you to get into Linux?

My philanthropic beliefs and love of freedom. I was absolutely amazed when I found out about open source and free software. Then I got to it and loved it even more, the community, the UI and DEs, how much you could customize everything and how much choices you had. But mostly it is the philosophical beliefs that makes me love linux. Even if it is not better than some alternatives in some aspects, I willl still stand by it.

This works but I’d just create a function and use that instead of creating an alias that creates a function and then calls itself.

if your containers are created with a docker compose file you can use docker-compose to target them all

luthis,

Is there a way to do this without cd-ing to the directory with the compose file first?

JASN_DE,

You can use -f /path/to/compose.yaml to call it from wherever you like.

RagingToad, in How to take actions on multiple docker containers at once

If the containers are related you could use docker-compose, which has commands to stop / restart/ remove all containers at once.

wcooley,

I use Compose even when I have a single container to run because I can put all the config bits I need into a file and can then do most of the work without remembering lots of command line options and often without even needing to mention the service name directly.

youngGoku,

Same. I can’t remember the last time I started a docker container without a compose file.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU,

I keep a docker directory in my home dir that has a directory for each docker container/stack in a compose file. Taking down a container looks like so.

  • cd docker/wallabag
  • docker-compose down

Imo, the best way to work with docker.

Discover5164,

i do the exact same

luthis,

Cool, didn’t know that!

Just tested, so you have to cd to the directory with the docker-compose.yml file in it first

gratux,
@gratux@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

you can also use the -f option to specify the compose file without going to it.

chunkyhairball, in FOUND file in device by hex content using wxHexEditor

Luthis, you’re doing God’s work here. You are learning by experimentation and then, importantly, documenting and sharing what you’ve learned. There is absolutely zero wrong and only good to be had in either of those and in combining them, you’re doing service to our entire community.

luthis,

Thanks! I will keep it up!

luthis, in How to take actions on multiple docker containers at once

You can of course do it this way too, it’s just extra typing:

docker container stop $(docker container ls -qf name=snikket)

KISSmyOS, (edited ) in Why didn't anyone remind me the dual booting exists?

Most people forget you can also run a Linux VM inside Windows if all the other options don’t work for you.
It protects your private data from virusses, doesn’t let Microsoft’s telemetry spy on your usage and browsing, and gives you more control.
Just limit what you do in Windows to what needs it running natively and do everything else inside the VM.

uzay,

It only protects your data if you encrypt the virtual disk. And then you could still lose it to a ransomware attack.

bellsDoSing,

That’s why regular backups are advisable.

milkjug,

This generally works for people who only need command-line or headless access though. I’ve been waiting for proper GPU virtualization and partitioning to actually work on consumer gpus for so long now that I’m doubtful it will ever be a thing. And the hardware industry has gradually transitioned to single GPU setups now so PCIe lanes for multi-GPU setups are harder to come by, especially with recent motherboards dedicating more and more PCIe lanes to NVMe slots. Still, even GPU pass-through with VFIO is not a trivial thing at all to get up and running. Its a travesty that CPU virtualization is so mature and far along in the consumer space, juxtaposed with a seemingly absolute big fat zero on the GPU virtualization front.

You could get away with using VMWare for their proprietary GPU virtualization feature but besides simple sandboxes for testing, I will not personally get too far into it as the experience is not great.

You999,

Proper vGPU would be so much better if nvidia weren’t twats. Anyways if you use proxmox you can unlock vGPU support for most consumers GPUs using this script

milkjug, (edited )

Great find! Thanks, this is new to me. I would have taken this out for a whirl immediately but I just read the docs and sadly it doesn’t support my 3000 series nvidia card. Team Green is seriously getting on my nerves for their anti consumer practices, enough for me to go all in into Team Red or Intel for my next GPU.

At this point, Intel (if you’re listening), the single most important feature you can implement to get an immediate buy from me, is SR-IOV on your Arc cards. I will probably buy a few of them for each of my PCs as well.
