luthis,

We don’t, it’s a psy-op.

luthis,

Do you know if there is a way to generate a ansible playbook based on your current deployment state?

Or do you need to painstakingly manually code every unique facet of your system into the playbook?

luthis,

It’s really hard to [accidentally] permanently break Linux to the point of requiring a reinstall.

Here’s a really good tip: Keep a live distro (I use Mint) on a USB drive. If something real bad happens, you can boot into the live distro, and chroot into your OS and do the repairs you need. While also having a live distro with web access and a browser to help.

I broke my GRUB once (or twice) and fixed it again this way.

Keep a backup of your /boot folder, GRUB (or equivalent) configs, etc, also check documentation on Arch wiki for boot process. 99.9% of the time you should be able to fix things to at least get to a TTY after boot.

luthis,

Plex, CUPS (printing services), Minecraft servers, VPN, file sharing, DHCP/DNS/Wifi, bluetooth are some examples of basic level things systemd can help regular users manage.

Systemd goes far beyond that too.

luthis, 

<span style="color:#323232;">Usage:  docker stop [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Options:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  -s, --signal string   Signal to send to the container
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  -t, --time int        Seconds to wait before killing the container
</span>

Unfortunately no filter here

luthis,

Dude, I use the CLI all day, every day and I can’t freakin remember half the commands I need.

If it’s something I use often, I’ll make an alias even if it’s just so I can run ‘alias’ in the terminal to get a list of things I use often.

luthis,

Is there a way to do this without cd-ing to the directory with the compose file first?

luthis,

Cool, didn’t know that!

Just tested, so you have to cd to the directory with the docker-compose.yml file in it first

luthis,

I needed a way to pass an argument into the command so it can be used in name=“$1”

luthis,

If I eventually get around to using a GUI, I’ll check out portainer

luthis,

You can of course do it this way too, it’s just extra typing:

docker container stop $(docker container ls -qf name=snikket)

How to bypass a metered connection?

In North America, using Xfinity for reference. I want to create both a home NAS and offline Wiki/media backup. Problem is to get the amount of data I need would blow through my plan and throttle my speed. I guess I could try and do it over a longer period or download just before the billing cycle renews so even if I go over it...

luthis,

ISPs still have data caps?

That should be outlawed by now.

luthis,

Should there be a space between ‘relatime, flask=’ ? Is that in fstab? It should all be one string, like in mine mine rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro

luthis,

Also come on guys, let’s prove that the Arch community isn’t all full of assholes, let’s help this dickhead sort their stupid ass issue.

(/s)

luthis,

Both lines are commented out, # means that it is ignored

luthis,

That’s the best part about Linux. You’re allowed to do anything even when it’s definitely a bad idea.

luthis,

Thanks! I will keep it up!

luthis,

True, now you have the power to find your files manually!

luthis,

Yeah now I stand a better chance of recovering files if something catastrophic happens

luthis, (edited )

Tried a different way:


<span style="color:#323232;"> filefrag -v testfile 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Filesystem type is: ef53
</span><span style="color:#323232;">File size of testfile is 6 (1 block of 4096 bytes)
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> ext:     logical_offset:        physical_offset: length:   expected: flags:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   0:        0..       0:    4660742..   4660742:      1:             last,eof
</span>

Went to offset 4660742 in wxhexeditor, but still when I copy out the hex and convert to ascii, it’s nonsense

luthis,

I think you’re thinking of

systemctl list-units --type=service --state=stopped

status gives the state of the system and a cgroup tree

luthis,

Only if you know what the [service] is. In my case, I’m prone to forgetting so this way I can see what should be running but isn’t

luthis,

Yes,

systemctl start [servicename]

But I wanted to see what I have stopped and not started again

luthis,

Actually, I suspect ‘login’ refers to init and logind,

Back to the wiki to find out the steps during late userspace…

luthis,

I just discovered cgroups, so it’s cool to see some practical examples here.

Looks like not far off having easily managed load-balancing for I/O which is pretty cool.
