I’m pretty old school, but as I only have 1 server, I just use ssh, df, du and top.

  1. I would assume you’d need to keep updating the DNS record to match the IP you have.
  2. I’m not. Nothing like that is completely free. I wonder how they pay for the DNS…

In a normal domain/DNS scenario, you need to make sure your domain points to the correct IP. Most registrars have websites where you can manage which domain points to which domain in the DNS records.

Protecting HDDs from (external) train vibrations

I am worried that externally caused vibrations might damage my HDDs (NAS in the planning). The subway / metro runs under my building, and every time the train passes, this causes slight but measurable vibrations in the 50-100 Hz frequency range. It is more like a rumbling noise than the usual vibration of a passing train....

Maybe some foam under the case could elliminate some of those vibrations. Like pieces of a yoga mat or similar mats.

As far as I know, SP is an electron application and if you run Plasma in a wayland session, global keyboard shortcuts won’t work, unless you enable it in the Plasma settings.

NixOS on OnePlus 6 with Extra Steps, or the Diary of my Descent into Madness (pavluk.org)

My biggest blog post yet, and it’s about running (almost) vanilla NixOS on a (formerly) Android phone! This was 50% fun and 50% exhausting… you solve one issue and another one crops up right away… it was certainly an interesting educational experience....

I didn’t know NixOS had official aarch64 repositories. 😜

Strit,
@Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

Thanks for the detailed response.

So nixpkgs is more akin to the AUR, then a binary repository? The AUR is also just build scripts.

That’s already here with systemd 255 which released recently.

Strit,
@Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

It’s a fancy number, but the release only fixes some wifi regressions. Nothing wild.

It’s a cache. It’s meant to be deleted from time to time, especially if the application is not good at it by itself.

So simply delete the folder. Anything electron will need after that will be re-downloaded when the application is run again.

Systemd timer unit

I try to create a timer unit for weekly and daily backups. For example with the weekly unit, it should be executed once in a week, some minutes after login. If the unit was successful, it should shutdown and not start again until the next week. If a start of this unit was missing, it should be start again some minutes after the...

the timer has no idea if it was triggered during last boot. It only has the context of “this” boot, so it will do it right after a reboot and set a timer to start the service again after a week of uptime.

So if you reboot every day, it will trigger the service every day, even though you set it to weekly in the timer.

So it’s up to your .service file to determine if it has been run this week or not.

I actually thing that Fedora is your best bet here. Especially if you really need Red Hat based.

Strit,
@Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

Isn’t the package manager the same on CentOS/RHEL and Fedora? I mean, they are all rpm based distributions. OpenSUSE is also rpm based btw.

Did not happen to me when I updated on Arch. So might be a Neon quirk.

Not x86_64 based, but the PineTab2 and PineTab-V are 2 alternatives. The PineTab2 is aarch64 (ARM) based while the PineTab-V is, you guessed it, RISC-V based.

Both 8 GB RAM versions go for about $210 on their website.

Strit,
@Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

No worries. Just wanted to throw some alternatives your way, since I think €300 is a steep price for a 4 GB RAM tablet with no upgrade option. :) PS: Didn’t know stylus support was a thing. TIL about EMR.

While Linux TTY is multiseat by default, each TTY is a seperate user login, I’m not sure any of the GUI’s support this function.

I know of PRIME, which can be used to offload work to dedicated GPU’s.

It uses the github cert, but that is not set to use the github.io subpages that start with www.

Spending a few days with Hyprland made me realize how awesome Gnome is

Don’t get me wrong. Hyprland is great. I like it a lot. It looks fresh, it’s easy to configure and the keybindings are super easy to implement, but it’s also very barebones. Most of the functionality expected from a DE come from external software. Be it a top bar, an app launcher, a notification daemon or anything else....

Strit,
@Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

The difference, as I understand it, is that Hyprland is not a DE, it’s a Windows Manager. So it should be compared with the likes of Sway, i3 and Awesome.

Nice. I’ve been running Plasma 6 on my Arch test laptop. Not a huge visual difference, but it works fairly well.

Not debian based, but is KDE - Fedora Kionite
