atzanteol,

Most people seem to just want to use RPIs as a very slow Linux server for some reason…

Use it to play around with hardware integration with the GPIO pins. Get a sensor HAT and start recording temperatures, write some code that turns on/off an LED, build a robot controller, etc. There are lots of kits and documentation on the various things you can do!

I believe they used heritrix at one point. The important bit is that there is a special archive format that they use which is a standard. There are several tools that support it (both capturing to it and viewing it) - it allows for capturing a website in a ‘working’ condition with history or something. I’m a bit fuzzy on it since it’s been some time since I looked into it.

atzanteol,

xdg-open will check mime types and open files with preferred applications as well. So ‘xdg-open foo.ods’ will launch libre office for example.

“social mistakes”???

atzanteol,

He did mention the murder of his wife and said he would detail his regret to anyone who asked.

This is true - I’m reacting more to the title than the content. It’s a very peculiar choice of words.

There’s no forgiving what he did to his wife but there’s at least some evidence he’s changed since that happened.

Perhaps - it’s hard to tell. It still reads a lot like one of his standard narcissistic rants even as he’s complimenting others. It’s still all about his “dream”.

atzanteol,

I love how people are up-voting your completely wrong “just a guess”.

I broke nextcloud and i cant fix it

I managed to install and set up nextcloud snap on my ubuntu server a couple months ago. I haven’t used it since and now I tried to log in to it but I forgot the username and password. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the snap to reset the data but i couldn’t access the web page. I couldn’t find anything online. Any...

atzanteol,

Have you tried reading the docs?

docs.nextcloud.com/…/reset_admin_password.html

atzanteol,

Just install one. Find out.

atzanteol, (edited )

Just friggin’ install it. People spend so much time debating “which distro should I install”. Toss a dart at a board and pick one. Install it. Get your hands dirty and go. You’re not naming your first born you’re trying a new OS.

atzanteol,

They did it “for the vibes”

Vibes are just as important to free/open source software as proprietary software and although there were solid technical reasons for the port, the PR outcomes are added benefits.

atzanteol,

How do you know if it’s open source? Well if it’s called something like “huggingface” or “redpajama” there’s a very good chance it’s made by people who have no marketing department. So good odds it’s free.

Let me save you from reading this.

Why I left nobara: because I did… Then scattered rambling that goes nowhere and certainly doesn’t end with a twist.

atzanteol,

It’s not a “language” issue it’s a “computer” issue. This math is being done on the CPU.

IEEE 754

Some languages do provide for “arbitrary precision math” (Java’s BigDecimal for example) but it’s slower to do that. Not what you want if you’re multiplying a 4k matrix every millisecond.

atzanteol,

For desktop apps maybe. How do you run a flatpak from the cli? “flatpak run org.something.Command”. Awesome.

Both suffer from not making it obvious what directories your application can access and not providing a clear message when you try to access files it can’t. The user experience sucks.

atzanteol,

Another key for me to pop off my keyboard. Great.

atzanteol,

Wouldn’t this also be possible with plain sockets tho?

You keep using this phrase. Given time and money anything is possible. Technically we don’t need to use http - every server could implement their own standard using raw sockets. You then could download a simple client library for every site!

With a well defined dbus interface your application can talk to any number of applications that implement that interface. Even those you didn’t know about it at time of development. It provides a structure for ipc other than “go fetch libblah” and also “libblarg” and “libfloob” and read all of their docs and implement each one separately.

atzanteol,

Why would that be great? It’s so weird that people care this much about what language their OS is written in…

atzanteol,

Is “magic sysrq” enabled? Could be the cat hit alt+sysrq+something.

atzanteol,

Kernel boot logs aren’t well disciplined to be careful about what is an error or not. Sometimes it’s just checking for the existence of hardware and reports the error it gets if it doesn’t exist.

If things are working I wouldn’t worry.

atzanteol, (edited )

Oh yeah, you never hear such complaints about Windows or MacOS.

BTW can you recommend any good tools to cleanup my registry?

New to Linux, have a few questions

I currently use Windows 10 and I’d like to try out Linux. My plan is to set up a dual boot with OpenSUSE tumbleweed and KDE Plasma. I’ve read so many different opinions about choosing a distro, compatibility with gaming and Nvidia drivers, and personal issues with the ethos of different companies like Canonical. I value...

atzanteol, (edited )

It’s a bit of an unpopular opinion, but if you pick a mainstream distro there isn’t a lot of difference between them. Especially to somebody who is new to linux.

With most any distro you can use KDE, gnome and other desktop environments. You can pick which one you want to use when you login. So don’t think you’re tying yourself to KDE if you install kubuntu or something.

If you want an easy way to switch to a new distro make sure you create a separate partition for /home. Then if/when you want to install something new you can have it overwrite everything except your home directory. So all your steam configs and games will be left untouched (for example). Alternatively just backup /home somewhere and restore as you need.

atzanteol,

What’s with the weird anti-Ubuntu bias? “It’ll probably work fine but I don’t like their management?”

You’re recommending a distro for beginners. Personal disagreements with the company are irrelevant.

atzanteol,

They may have been, things were far more trusting back then.

X servers, for example, would accept any connections. So we would often “export DISPLAY=friendscomputer:0.0” in the computer lab and then open windows of embarrassing content. Which at the time would likely be ASCII art…

atzanteol,

chown -R root /

I forget why. I think I was getting some permission issues and thought “I’ll just set all files back to being owned by root and then fix home directories”.

Turns out a lot of things in /etc aren’t owned by root for a reason…

atzanteol,

Adding ‘-f’ overrides the ‘-i’.
