“ok, now add a metric shit ton of swearing and further belittle parsers who can’t deal with tabs.”
It doesn’t kinda feel that way, doesn’t it?
Funny that predictive text seems to be more advanced in this instance but I suppose this is one of those scenarios that you want to make sure you get right.
When you came to space dock here, did you notice a sign out in front of my station that said “Dead Romulan Storage”?
I would start by checking for any sort of errors in your system logs, such as /var/log/syslog
or using dmesg -w
. In my experience, Linux is almost universally faster than Windows.
Yeah, I can easily remember the commands to tail the logs because it’s journalctl -fu
and I always think “fuck you” as I’m typing that.
Maybe I don’t understand the problem but the only time that pinentry pops up for me is when I am signing something. What sort of situations does it just randomly pop up or what sort of specific apps/configuration would that happen at random?
I was until about a year ago or so. I had all of my home server’s file systems on top of mdadm but somewhere around 3-4 years ago I started migrating my different storage groups to zfs and then I finally got rid of my root mdadm mirror last year, moving that to zfs too.
To me, zfs is like the Gentoo of file systems. If you actually use the zfs features and do a lot of digging and experimentation before you go all in on it, it’s not bad; it really can be quite good. If someone wants a filesystem that they format and forget, ext4 and xfs are still solid options. I used to use ext4 for most of my filesystem needs and xfs for my long term storage on top of mdadm. I just really wanted zfs snapshots.
Well this is just sad. No Branston over where. Just overpriced Heinz.
Indeed. They’ve done nothing but go up in value.
Well I didn’t have that on my bingo card.
This is a similar reason as to why I use Debian as my base operating system and for just about every service I run on my host, the processes are containerized using Docker. It gives me the flexibility to choose the best “operating system” that supports the software I want to run at the release cadence that suits how I want to consume it for a given piece of software, and the base host OS is just that and nothing more. Upgrades to new Debian releases are non-events and I get no surprises with my apps in containers.
I can upgrade the underlying container base operating systems as I need which I choose Alpine, Debian, and Ubuntu based on which fits my needs. Alpine gets updates quickly, Debian is good for core services that I would normally run natively on my host, and Ubuntu hits well for wide support of almost every other service I need. So I get a stable base with the option to go as quickly as I need if I have a need for a newer package. It’s not always about having the newest software, it’s about stability where it counts.
This is how I typically approach things for my use. If I am going to a place where just being there is the destination, like near a beach or a house with a private pool, AirBNB is my go to choice. If I just need to sleep because the destination for a trip is like an amusement park or somewhere where I plan on being gone almost all day, then a hotel is ideal. If my vacation includes a lot of time just hanging out, hanging out in a hotel sucks.
Apparently trying to keep up with GitHub. Gonna take plenty more where that came from to hit that.
In for a random Ferrari poster and a multi-colored pen.
Today it’s 200MB of dependencies and next thing you know it’s 200PB! When will the madness stop!
