Appimage for me ticks all the boxes for cross distro package as its very portable, simple to run, what are devs trying to do when creating snaps and flatpack?
Can you elaborate on update system? AppImage is just a format, right? Whereas flatpak is a format and an entire toolkit for downloading and running flatpaks.
I’ve recently aquired the hardware to build a home server/NAS. I’d love to know some community-guided advice on tools I should consider, and what best practices are?...
I don’t know how much content there is to share, so you might be overflowing with things to talk about every week. But I fear that doing so much effort weekly could be unsustainable. I would suggest, or hope you consider, a less freqent blog/podcast, like every other week. I think this would be more modest, and easier to maintain. You wouldn’t need to change to title of the blog, either.
Anyway, this is an exciting project and I’m thankful for your work.
Perhaps I’m guilty of good luck, but is the trade off of performance for reliability worth it? How often is reliability a problem?
As a different use case altogether, suppose I was setting up a NAS over a couple drives. Does choosing something with COW have anything to do with redundancy?
Maybe my question is, are there applications where zfs/btrfs is more or less appropriate than ext4 or even FAT?
Can you elaborate more on deduplication? Is this a feature you setup, or does it sort of work out of the box? This is a new concept to me, but sounds incredibly useful, especially in that scenario.
How do you all handle this? I’m going to start poking around with NixOS but anticipate Python dev to be impossible on the base OS, so curious what sorts of options y’all use when connecting your configured editor to a container- e.g. if I have Neovim configured in my host, is it better to re-set-up Neovim again with the same...
In my experience, you still have your same path to your nix installed binaries in the distribox container, so you shouldnt even have to duplicate your configuration. I also dont suspect python dev to be that bad so long as you use venv or conda.
Dust is a rewrite of du (in rust obviously) that visualizes your directory tree and what percentage each file takes up. But it only prints as many files fit in your terminal height, so you see only the largest files. It’s been a better experience that du, which isn’t always easy to navigate to find big files (or atleast...
If you have ideas please let me know. I’m preparing to hop distros so I’m very tempted to ignore the problem, blame the old distro, and hope it doesn’t happen again :)
I looked up a solution for this with no luck…I want to use The PF app with grapheneos but with all the configurations with both the app and gp services it still asks me to update the gp services and it force closes…any of u guys figured how to get the app working?
If you need just the id you can always screenshot that barcode or store it in an app like Catima. I dont have any advice for if you need other functionality, sorry.
