Thank you (and all others who replied), this worked flawlessly :-)

krash,

OMG! I didn’t even know about this, thanks! Will look into it, would be awesome to have ps command spit out things like I want them by default :-)

Ooo, fever API is now finally supported!

Edit: feverAPI is also deprecated, I guess I’ll just use the web version of my rss-app on mobile instead

krash,

Foot

I was considering Foot, it is fast (renderwise and in interactive use) and the dev seems like an awesome person. But it doesn’t support ligatures. I’ll watch the issue and give it a shot when it’s implemented.

krash,

I don’t care much for the terminal, but I noticed that I care a lot about my shell and the tools I use in it.

And the prompt - can’t live without my ASCII bling-blink.

krash,

The only practical thing they provide for me is slightly better readability, and eye candy (my prompt rely on them). I like my shells functional and pretty 😁

krash,

I’ve been using it for a while without any noticeable problems. What issues did you run into?

krash,

All kinds of stuff. I use it when I need a way to structure my data:

  • I use it to keep track of software / libs that are of interest, what they are an alternative to. See example here: ibb.co/ncsdt0W
  • I’ve also tried to recreate the functionality of a personal relational management (a la MonicaHQ, or per this post: medium.com/…/my-homegrown-personal-crm-87dffbcf54…) but found it to be an overengineered solution.
  • I also used it to interact and store data through my python apps, to avoid dealing with it directly in python.
  • You can also use it as a Kanban board
  • Also, I’ve been trying to use it as an excel replacement - which is an overengineered solution but you get impeccable dataquality.

Nocodb is a bit wonky, but it is quite easy to work with (front- and backend) and since everything is in the database format you choose - you’re in control of how you want your data.

krash,

I didn’t really see the benefit of this besides having a snapshot or backup of my home folder for my use case (I don’t have that many config/text files that needs tracking), but I can recommend chezmoi for those interested.

krash,

There’s so much you could do.

  • have a reverse proxy for your services, as containers
  • connect then through netbyrd or nebula if you want the FOSS route (or headacalescale)
  • set up an IDPS, such as fail2ban, snort, etc
  • Set up a backup job, there’s many projects that does this well - check out Borg and kopia.
  • since we’re on linux, try out different shells. Zsh or fish are pretty popular and pretty to look at.

How often do you back up?

I was wondering how often does one choose to make and keep back ups. I know that “It depends on your business needs”, but that is rather vague and unsatisfying, so I was hoping to hear some heuristics from the community. Like say I had a workstation/desktop that is acting as a server at a shop (taking inventory / sales...

krash,

Like you said, “it depends” 😁

I have a huge datablob that I mirror off-site once monthly. I have a few services that provides things for my family, I take a backup of them nightly (and run a “backup-restoration” scenario every six months). For my desktop, none at all - but I have my most critical data synched / documented so they can be restored to a functional state.

krash,

I second obsidian. I was on the verge to jump onto logseq, but found its way of handling notes to be… different. I also felt a dislike of anytype where I don’t really have control over my notes. Obsidian clicked with me from the start and felt right. So I went with it, even though it’s not FOSS (which is usually a hard requirement from me).

krash,

I really look forward to spin this up tomorrow. Awesome release as always!

krash,

Never heard of falco, why would you recommended it over other similar solutions out there?

krash,

But this is by design, snap containers aren’t allowed to read data outside of their confinements. Same goes for flatpak and OCI-containers.

I don’t use snap myself, but it does have its uses. Bashing it just because it’s popular to hate on snap won’t yield a healthy discussion on how it could be improved.

Just make sure about what you’re getting yourself into: features such as IR facial detection and stylus input isn’t supported on all models OOTB by the surface kernel. Also, it is a bit messy with how surface handles booting.

Linux on surface works (I got Ubuntu on both my Go gen 1 and pro 7) but expect to put in time to tinker and manage unexpected issues.

krash,

How is C more secure than Rust? Doesn’t it lack features such as safe memory handling?

krash,

Textual is great, and the community at discord is very helpful and welcoming.

    Of of curiosity, what is it that you dislike? I have Linux on a surface go gen 1 (which works flawlessly) and use gnome for the tablet mode. The only thing that sucks is the on-screen keyboards, but it works surprisingly well otherwise.

    Procrastinate away 😁

    krash,

    This is awesome. What hardware are you running (m1 or m2)? Also, is there anything that isn’t working?

    I’ve been eyeing to buy a m* silicon based mac, but I’m not into tinkering into fixing things.

    Is Ubuntu deserving the hate? (lemmy.ml)

    Long story short, I have a desktop with Fedora, lovely, fast, sleek and surprisingly reliable for a near rolling distro (it failed me only once back around Fedora 34 or something where it nuked Grub). Tried to install on a 2012 i7 MacBook Air… what a slog!!! Surprisingly Ubuntu runs very smooth on it. I have been bothering all...

    krash,

    Doesn’t Debian still ship with X11 by default? For my desktop use, I can’t go back from wayland.

    krash,

    I prefer software with defaults that are in line with my preferences. I rather have sensible defaults and a nice OOTB experience, instead of fighting my distro and it’s packages.
