I take my shitposts very seriously.

  • I've never used Linkwarden, but the /data folder is often used by Docker containers to store the application's data, so it's likely an internal path. You'll have to create a volume that exposes the internal /data path to the host filesystem, then whatever is written into that directory will be made available to both the container and the host system. Any file or directory in the container can be exposed this way.

    I usually put my data volumes in /srv (where my large RAID array is mounted) and config volumes in /config, into a subdirectory named after the service, and with the minimal necessary privileges to run the container and the service. You could, for example, create volumes like this:

     text
        
    /srv/linkwarden/postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    /srv/linkwarden/linkwarden_data:/data/data
    /srv/linkwarden/meili_data:/meili_data
    
      

    The volume path (left side of the colon) can be anything. The right side is where the services expect their files to appear inside the container.

  • That's... that's what a distribution is. A base OS with bundled, preconfigured user applications.

    Take a gander at the git repo: https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy

    It does as much as most desktop distributions. More in some areas. It has merits regardless of your politics. I know I'll be borrowing some of the scripts.

  • Please observe rule 3 point 3:

    No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.

    It goes both ways. The situation is still developing, whatever information you have might become obsolete an hour from now. If you need to air your feelings, this isn't the right place for it. It's also worth keeping in mind that the interaction that led to this controversy was nothing more than an already opinionated post and a reply from a Framework employee who has no say in who gets sponsored. Even the person who made the original post decided to "let it rest".

    Be intelligent, do not be led into a smear campaign on somebody's leash.

  • Because it's a competently-made, new distribution with interesting features. Not everything you don't understand is a fucking conspiracy.

  • Jazz 2.0 just dropped

  • Use the guitar controller to branch, commit, and merge to the beat of Through The Fire And Flames and try to get a conflict-free repo.

  • The Lemmy backend, the default web frontend, the Jerboa app, and the lemmy.ml instance are all owned by the same person.

  • I don't know which label is the most accurate, but he supports Putin's war, which lands him in the "shitbag" category. Being technically not fascist does not negate supporting the military invasion of a sovereign country, the ethnic cleansing of its people, and the rape, murder, and torture committed by the invaders.

  • We're all shipping the penguin and the wildebeest.

  • And that improves readability, how? Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of the Elvis operator, but chaining multiple null coalescing assignments into a one-line expression is a chore to decipher.

    By the way, you forgot to return the result.

  • Looks a lot like more syntax sugar to me, to hide boilerplate code. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it can obfuscate the actual meaning of the code for the sake of brevity. What does A ??= B do at a glance, for example?

    It's not exclusive to C# or "corporate" languages either. Rust has a fuckton of syntax sugar that makes it difficult to read.

  • You are literally on Lemmy. The project owner's views are well-known.

  • Yes, and that is one of the tools that would be evaluated. My immediate problem is that it requires a working OS to rollback to the last filesystem snapshot if the configuration change (which is still not atomic) is interrupted.

    The area where filesystem-level snapshots would be amazing is the /home partition, whenever a teacher asks the computer to be cleaned before an exam.

  • on limewire

    Not only has this made me realize how fucking old I am, but I also got curious about how Limewire is doing, and...

    In September 2025, LimeWire acquired the Fyre Festival brand, including its intellectual property, trademarks, online domains, and social media assets, from Billy McFarland via an auction held on eBay.

    ...according to Wikipedia. At this point, my 2025 bingo card would serve better as kindling.

  • Install the OS, clone the config, rebuild, walk away and go to the next computer.

    Honestly, I'd automate it to be even fewer operations. The Windows process is already down to only four keystrokes, and three of them are just to boot into PXE. The fourth is just a pause to make sure every computer has booted into Clonezilla (Debian preloaded with the cloning software and my own scripts, pulled from a TFTP server) before they start pulling the Windows image and the network becomes saturated.

  • If it ever comes to pass, there will be an extensive evaluation to determine which tool is best suited for the job and the environment. The Prime Directive applies: we must not disrupt classes that are in progress or about to start unless they specifically ask for something.

    Support for atomic updates is one feature that I won't compromise on, and while Ansible will definitely be part of the toolkit (on that note: fuck WinRM, all my homies hate WinRM), its idempotent model on its own is not enough to guarantee disruption-free deployments. If the process fails for any reason, the system must roll back to its last functional state. I don't know if Nix can do that, but when it becomes relevant (so probably never in my professional capacity), I will find the right tool.

    (for the record, that is not my downvote)

  • I've tried, at least in theory, to migrate an entire university's classroom computers to Linux. Even in the absence of technical limitations, the one obstacle I can't overcome is entirely human. ~The living fossils~ Our esteemed tenured professors refuse to change their habits because they need their Netbeans, they need their Eclipses, they need their Visual Studios. In a lot of ways, it feels like wayland-protocols' governance. A single NACK from a stubborn fool kneecaps the entire project, and now the university gets to spend hundreds of thousands of euros upgrading the computer labs because the perfectly usable computers are juuuust barely outside Win11's requirements.

    Sidebar: Back when I was a student at that same university, when Windows was small enough to allow dual-booting with Ubuntu from the same SSD, my Prog-1 teacher insisted on using Joe. He hated Vim, Emacs, and Nano with an equal passion.


    Edit: Just to give some validation to the people who need it, I should point out that Nix would be the ideal OS. We use Clonezilla to deploy a painstakingly prepared golden image of Windows with all applications and configuration changes before every semester. If a teacher forgets to request a software (despite the five separate e-mails and posters around the university), we have to pray that it's available either as an MSI or through winget, otherwise we have to manually remote into each affected computer (up to several hundred) and install it one by one.

    I would give my left testicle and half my liver for the ability to have a centrally hosted Nix config file that can be edited whenever and then deployed as the computers come online.
