only once have i seen the crash reporter in windows actually do something beneficial and report back an actual fix.

Installed fedora and then used distro box to have arch packages. It’s like cheating but I can run packages that aren’t in repo without the shit storm of the versioning. Is absurd how aur is so good but base configuration sucks so much 🤣

Office suite “vim and mutt” Every thing else is bloat.

rockSlayer, in Foolishness

Excuse me, but that type of foolishness requires – no-preserve-root nowadays

Not in this case. It’s */ here so it expands to directories at current location. I’m sure that’s a typo though

rockSlayer,

I’m not brave enough to test it on my distro, so I’ll take your word on that lol

narshee,
@narshee@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

You can do echo */ and echo /* to see how they expand. Also rm -rf / already is enough without the * as it already is recursive

fl42v,

* is there to bypass the need for –no-preserve-root

rockSlayer, (edited )

I’m aware of how recursive force remove works. I’m just kidding around.

Anybody brave enough to tell the MS rep this on patch night??

(You have backups, right?)

rm -rf / needs –no-preserve-root on GNU coreutils, I think.

yes

why do they even have that lever

second, (edited )

Originally, rm would merrily nuke your whole filesystem if you told it to. At some point, someone thought that was a pretty stupid default behaviour, so they added that flag to change the default to not nuke your entire filesystem. However, they made the change backwards compatible in case someone still needed the old behaviour. I can imagine in a container or throwaway environment, it might be vaguely reasonable to expect to be able the blat /.

Fedora Silverblue enters the chat :) Haven’t had a single hiccup so far. Only ublue spins are a pain in the butt imo. That’s why I configure everything by myself.

But I need to try NixOs soon

Samsy, in Oh no ...

i3? Sorry I use hyprland.

Btw. I thought it’s just a unixporn wm. But I can be very productive with hyprland.

ichmagrum, (edited )

“unixporn wm” and “productive” is not a contradiction at all.

Samsy,

Sure, but come on, Unixporn people are only productive in their dotfiles.

ichmagrum,

Meh. I did that kind of thing for maybe a year 4 years ago and then I just stopped changig it.

Now, I’m not productive (mostly because of health reasons), but I’m certainly not busy with editing dotfiles.

What’s so special about hyprland? Why is it getting so much hype?

Samsy,

It’s near to sway but has some smooth animations, rounded corners, blur effects etc.

All this work just to end using systemd lol

i use swayfx and runit

i don’t like systemd because it has a lot of stuff that i don’t think should be built-in, for example, why have systemd timer when cron already exists?

runit is nice for me because it’s simple and i like activating services by just soft-linking files to /var/service instead of using some fancy tool

PlasterAnalyst, in nixCraft 🐧 (@nixCraft@mastodon.social)

This is not realistic, you also need aliases.

Tmux over gnu screen? Too progressive for me!

I’ve been running the same installation since 2012.
