The solution to the problem is to install git into a clean system so you can observe what changes it makes.

How would you do this with Nix?

So TLDR is that this is Proxmox for the systemd hate club?

Linux is not an operating system:

• Ubuntu is an operating system
• Fedora is an operating system
• Archlinux is an operating system
• MOS is an operating system

Apparently no E2EE, so probably only a good choice for public servers

Completely off topic, but

Unfortunately, I didn’t check that before monkeying with things, so I have no idea if I’ve changed my system accidentally.

Reading this makes me feel so powerful to be as familiar as I am with podman/docker (which to be clear is a modest amount). Just do:

podman run --rm -it debian:latest bash

Then apt install git, check those folders, and finally exit so the entire container gets automatically deleted.

The whole thing is done in a few seconds (or more depending on how long git takes to download and whether the debian image is already cached)

Everyone on Linux should have this in their toolbelt.

I had a realization recently. All the pro-AI people pushing vibe coding or “coding assistants” are completely missing the point.

These tools aren’t helping you write code, you are helping the tool write code, because it can’t do it on its own yet. The more they improve, the less you’re needed.

Idk if they’ll ever reach the point where you can actually give it a prompt, and it’ll provide a fully functional implementation on its own with no human intervention required. If it does, I can’t imagine that tech would be as available as it is now. Your peasant ass isn’t going to be vibing the next big thing that’s for sure.

The modern game industry was being run by pedophile billionaires, two of the worst adjectives you can apply to a human being. I’d say that’s more of a factor than not having enough “creative constraints”

Just set up wireguard and use that to connect to your home network when you’re out.

Q and Picard are the real Ying Yang Twins

Yeah it’s weird, I was just being lazy with wording, but now I want to defend BMI a little since it’s not that stupid. (I meant to say he didn’t look like the stereotypical image of a morbidly obese person, which in hindsight isn’t very productive)

It’s true that BMI is only useful for “normal” people, which excludes pro-athletes/body builders with a lot more muscle than the average person, and people with conditions that affect their weight. For the vast majority of people, it’s a useful metric for overall health. Anyone who cares about longevity and quality of life shouldn’t ignore it just because it’s uncomfortable to think about or “seems wrong” based on some self assessments. Obviously, there’s a lot of stigma around being labelled as obese, but people are judgy assholes about everything. What’s basically guaranteed, though, is that if you do lose weight to reach a “healthy” BMI, you will feel a lot better physically (and probably also mentally). Pains you didn’t even realize you had will go away, you’ll have more energy, etc.

I’m not saying you should lose weight, idgaf. Your life isn’t mine, and I’m not here to give unsolicited advice. I just feel compelled to add some extra context so people don’t draw hasty conclusions.

That’s almost 300lbs! The reflection rules out morbidly obese, so are you tall as fuck, jacked as fuck, or both?

Wikipedia says her dad is Mike Gabbard. Are you saying Mike Gabbard is actually Chris Butler, or that Mike Gabbard is a cuck?

Either way this is the first time I’ve heard about this lmao. What a fucking joke we are as a country.

How about you ask the friend that gave you those files? It’s impossible for us to know what these things are through a screenshot.

I have been unfairly biased against fish ever since Phil Fish became public enemy #1 many years ago. I don’t even remember what the controversy was about, but fuck him and the unix shell he has absolutely nothing to do with.

Look into “Oh My Zsh” or similar plugin managers. OMZ is bloated as fuuuck and you’ll probably want to replace it with your own custom configs at some point, but it’s the easiest way to see what a decked out zsh feels like. It’s a good starting point for sure.

Personally I’m down to just 4 plugins with minor config tweaks on top of a bare zsh install. I’ve read good things about Starship but I’m happy with my current setup.

Thank fuck I switched to Zsh

It is an MIT-licensed open source app that…

People never learn. If this gets popular, some proprietary fork (probably owned by a US company) will win, become incompatible with the open source version, and maybe even hire the original devs and kill off the original project.

He might be wrong about many things (like a child’s ability to consent), but Stallman was certainly right about software licensing.

I thought Anki was just a flashcard app? That’s like hello-world tier software. I don’t understand why there would be a whole business around this.

I haven’t actually, I just assumed it would be pretty straightforward to do, but apparently not :/

That issue is full of cringe though. Not a good look for either side, and not productive. It’s not clear whether the ublue people don’t feel like supporting it, or if it’s actually not possible due to SELinux issues.

I think distro maintainers need to do a better job highlighting the actually important differences between distros rather than what fancy wallpaper is enablednby default.

The most impactful difference between the major distros:

• Debian prioritize stability at the cost of shipping outdated packages
• Fedora prioritizes modernity at the cost of some stability
• ArchLinux says “fuck it” and tries to ship the latest software as soon as it releases, at the cost of stability
• other distros like Ubuntu, Mint, Bazzite, Manjaro, SteamOS, etc are usually derived from one of those three (Ubuntu is derived from Debian)

So there’s kind of a sliding scale of linux fear/comfort for users, and your distro choice should reflect where you fall on that scale. Fedora generally provides a good middle ground and doesn’t break often, but will eventually break things (esp if you install updates frequently), so you should be prepared to fix them.

Nowadays, atomic distros change this up because they support rollbacks, meaning a broken update can be fixed without any tinkering or Linux knowledge required from the end-user. Also, they’re theoretically less likely to break and easier to test due to their immutability.
