Less resources needed, less physical space needed, less power consumption, no need for a network, don’t need to maintain/update multiple systems, etc.

What's the best way to have a .bashrc that I can use throughout systems?

So, I just found out about a programme called SynthShell which kind of does the work for you and gives you a nice looking shell, the thing is that this also creates some config files and other stuff in my system, instead of just one .bashrc file to edit. What would be the best way to learn to have a nice looking bash where I can...

I personally use yadm

I just use some code and Git.


<span style="color:#323232;">if [ ! -z "$PS1" ]; then

</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    title="e[1me[31mn ░▒▓e[7m    %s    e[27m▓▒░e[0mnn%snn"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    status="$(git --git-dir="$repo" --work-tree="$HOME" status -s)"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    diff=$(git --git-dir="$repo" --work-tree="$HOME" diff --stat --cached $br)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    [ -n "$status" ] && printf "$title" "Uncommited changes!" "$status"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    [ -n "$diff" ] && printf "$title" "Not yet pushed commits!" "$diff"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    unset title status diff br
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    alias dotfiles="/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$repo --work-tree=$HOME"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">fi
</span>

The code runs when it’s an interactive shell with a PS1 prompt and just checks if any of the tracked files have changed or if there are commits that are not pushed. By configuration I ignore all untracked files. If something has changed or wasn’t pushed it always prints an annoying message.

Whenever I want to do something I use dotfiles … instead of git …, everything else works the same.

I simply play music using mpv.

Is it actually dangerous to run Firefox as root?

I have a few Linux servers at home that I regularly remote into in order to manage, usually logged into KDE Plasma as root. Usually they just have several command line windows and a file manager open (I personally just find it more convenient to use the command line from a remote desktop instead of directly SSH-ing into the...

You don’t need to create the user first. Here’s the simplest I can come up with:


<span style="color:#323232;">FROM alpine:latest
</span><span style="color:#323232;">COPY myscript.sh /app/myscript.sh
</span><span style="color:#323232;">USER 10000:10001
</span><span style="color:#323232;">CMD ["sh", "/app/myscript.sh"]
</span>

This simply runs /app/myscript.sh with UID 10000 and GID 10001.

Yep! The names are basically just a convenient way for referencing a user or group ID.

Under normal circumstances you should let the system decide what IDs to use, but in the confined environment of a docker container you can do pretty much what you want.

If you really, really, really want to create a user and group just set the IDs manually:


<span style="color:#323232;">FROM alpine:latest
</span><span style="color:#323232;">COPY myscript.sh /app/myscript.sh
</span><span style="color:#323232;">RUN addgroup -g 10001 mycoolgroup && adduser -D -u 10000 -G mycoolgroup mycooluser
</span><span style="color:#323232;">USER mycooluser:mycoolgroup
</span><span style="color:#323232;">CMD ["sh", "/app/myscript.sh"]
</span>

Just make sure to stay at or above 10000 so you won’t accidentally re-use IDs that are already defined on the host.

Wayland-Proxy Load Balancer Helping Firefox Cope With Wayland Issues (www.phoronix.com)

Among the Firefox Wayland bugs, one of the top crash bugs is over a lost connection to a Wayland compositor. For dealing with it is to have a proxy between Firefox and the Wayland compositor to cache messages and prevent compositor message queue overflows.

When you need a proxy between your application and your graphics server then something fundamental went wrong long before.

Why are they even still pushing that nonsense

Forget YouTube.
