fxt_ryknow, in what caused you to get into Linux?

Early 2000’s I took a class in highschool called “What’s in the box”. A buddy of mine and I would hangout after school just talking and building computers. He showed me Lindows. I specifically remember looking at the clock in the dock, and thinking… “Wow!!! Look how you can customize the clock so much!”

It stuck with me. Shortly there after I dabbled with Suse. Then moved to Ubuntu. By 2005 I was almost exclusively using Linux on all my machine. Had one machine running windows for gaming, but the other machines I had were all Linux.

Pantherina, in OpenSUSE Leap 15.5 -> Tumbleweed conversion

Slowroll seems just as mature as TW? Just update, upgrade, change repos, upgrade?

Rockslide0482,

It’s only been around for less than a year as far as I’m aware and from what I gather still seems to be finding its sea legs as far as balancing between what rolls in immediately(ish) and what comes in through the big “tumbles”

Pantherina,

I guess with the BTRFS snapshots there is no reason to not use TW. But Slowroll really sounds like a Distro that makes sense

M500, in What are people daily driving these days?

Accidentally wipes out Mint last week, but have been meaning to try out Fedora 39 Plasma. So far, I love it. I have been really busy recently, but it has been a great system so far. My SteamDeck really made me fall in love with Plasma.

halfempty, (edited ) in The Unity Desktop Environment an Underrated Masterpiece

I never particularly cared for the Unity desktop. The first few times I tried it, there were hardware incompatibilities, slow performance, and crashing. Gnome3 is a complicated mess. I prefer to keep it simple. XFCE is fine for me.

xlash123, in How to take actions on multiple docker containers at once

Just a few shortcuts that may help:

  • docker ps is an alias for docker container ls
  • as long as it can be uniquely identified, a prefix of the container ID can be used instead of copy pasting the entire ID
  • you can use container names instead of IDs
  • tab completion works for container names

As someone else suggested though, docker compose is probably best suited for this job, but hopefully this helps in other situations.

I’m using docker packages for Doom Emacs. The main one is docker.el. On top of being faster and easier to use than the cli, you can also do some pretty neat stuff like use dired+tramp to browse files and open them in Emacs.

lautan, in Ubuntu is my daily driver but I'm thinking of setting this up on my never used Raspberry PI -- anyone using it? How tough do you think it will be as a first project?

It’s a good idea. I recommend it.

drwho, in Ubuntu is my daily driver but I'm thinking of setting this up on my never used Raspberry PI -- anyone using it? How tough do you think it will be as a first project?

As long as you follow the instructions you should be okay.

wowwoweowza,

Thank you — seems like a nice place to start to move beyond starting a browser.

My better way is just using Portainer, select some containers and hit the stop button.

luthis,

If I eventually get around to using a GUI, I’ll check out portainer

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

Why create the function _dcl()?

luthis,

I needed a way to pass an argument into the command so it can be used in name=“$1”

FishFace,

you could instead do:


<span style="color:#323232;">dcl() { docker container ls -aq -f name="$1" }
</span>

in bashrc or wherever you’re setting this up.

FlappyBubble, in what caused you to get into Linux?

Used to use Windows 98 SE. First introduced to Mandrake Linux around 2000. Had no Internet, got the install media from a friend of my father. Barely got it working and couldn’t read English. Went back to Windows XP. Ubuntu came. Began to use it around 2008 for a few years. Back to windows briefly and then Raspberry Pi was launched. Switched to Linux permanently.

Almost went back in 2013 due to Lightroom, gaming and a few work related medical software.

Began to grasp FOSS maturely in 2014 and switched to alterbative software. When Steam launched Proton there was no turning back.

I was obsessed but it has come and gone. Now I’m a bit of a nuissance to friends sllwly switching them to alternative software. My partner gets the worst treatment. Now she uses hardware security keys, assymetric keys auth etc

vaidooryam,

where do you use asymmetrical keys for auth ?

FlappyBubble,

Everywhere possible. For SSH sessions, logins on the Internet. PGP and chat apps. All the time.

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.

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.

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)

cows_are_underrated, in How to see enabled services that have been stopped [systemd]

Don’t you start a service with system tl servicename?

luthis,

Yes,

systemctl start [servicename]

But I wanted to see what I have stopped and not started again

cows_are_underrated,

OK, that’s nothing I can help you with.
