They call it a polyfill because it polyfills your disk

nah, but storage is cheap bro, you really should just buy another hard drive! don't even think about going below 4 TB, of course!

I don't have any recommendations, but if you download the table of hardware spreadsheet, you can use libreoffice to filter devices by column. like there's a column with the device type, but be careful (and open in a sense) because the classification is not always right. you may also want to reorder the columns, because the default ordering is not that convenient

atomic has had a meaning for a very long time in IT, don't pretend that it's something made up bullshit. with this thinking we could just throw out the word mutable/immutable too, what is it my computer is radioactive and I'll get cancer from it? of course not, because it has a different meaning with computers, and people in the know (not even just professionals because I'm not one) know it.

atomic means that if multiple things would change, they will either change at once, or if the task failed none of it will change.
sometimes these are called transactions, suse calls it transactional updates. but is that any better? now the complaint will be that suse must have transacted away all the money from your bank account!

and distros are obviously not immutable, that's just plainly misleading. we update them, someone does that daily. updating requires it to be mutable, to be modifiable.

what's the benefit of packaging drivers that way? surely not permission separation

thanks for the reminder! recently I keep the warrior down because my amount of ram started to be a bottleneck to me, but certainly manageable when there's urgent need.

why don't they switch the "current project" selection to it, though? It's on telegram now. it would receive more help because that's the automatic choice

I think I have found something interesting, check my reply to the other reply

it can be, if the client downloads everything. I'm not sure if most Matrix clients do that, I think instead they use the serverside search api: https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#server-side-search

though, after looking at it, it seems it has more features than what the element clients expose to us.
also, it seems it's not specified how the server should treat the search term. I think I remember something that with synapse, it is just passed to postgres as it is, but maybe a different homeserver can choose to implement it with wildcard or regex support

well search is not that good, it can only find exact word matches for any of the words, but otherwise yeah. though I think telegram isn't much better at this either

and also, time of "saving" is always correctly preserved

code forges are great for management tasks. host an internal forgejo, and create repos for your servers and services. use issues for keeping track of initial setup, config changes and upgrades. have a longer term issue for whenyou just want to record a little change but too lazy to open a full issue for it. you can also store config in the git repo, and write docs as wiki pages for things that are more stable or important aspects of your systems

yeah, they have other undiscovered vulnerabilities

 

Recently there was a post where the OP pitched an idea for a service related to this community. I don't want to go into details but the post's text has shown that maybe there's some misunderstanding around the technology, and a considerable amount of us also thought that it's not a good idea.
The post was removed (noticed because I couldn't reply to someone) probably because the OP felt shame for their "failed" idea, but I think we shouldn't delete posts for reasons like this.

The post created an interesting discussion around the idea with useful info. It's useful to have things like these for future reference, for similar discussions in the future.
This is an anonymous forum, so there's no shame in recommending things, when you do that politely like it was done in that case.

 

Introduction of the first Managing Director

 

I have just installed the tmuxinator 3.0.5 ruby gem with gem 3.2.5 and the --user-install parameter, and to my surprise the gem was installed to ~/.gem/ruby/2.7.0/bin/.

Is this a misconfiguration? Will it bite me in the future? I had a quick look at the environment and haven't found a variable that could have done this. Or did I just misunderstand something? I assume that the version of gem goes in tandem with the version of ruby, at least regarding the major version number, but I might be wrong, as I'm not familiar with it.

I have checked the version of gem by running gem --version. This is on a Debian Bullseye based distribution.
