I mean no harm.
100% Nope: A episode from supernatural, where ghouls half way succeed to eat Sam. (I consider it as the most gruesome horror I have ever seen, and I don’t think I have the stomach to see it ever again. The blood draining is a … no.)
Yellow brick road on otherhand hits the weird places spot of SCP, which I can’t get enough. (not horror really, but still)
Python is just a pile of dicts/hashtables under the hood. Even the basic int type is actually a dict of method names:
x = 1
print(dir(x))
['__abs__', '__add__', '__and__', '__bool__', '__ceil__', '__class__', '__delattr__', '__dir__', ... ]
PS: I will never get away from the fact that user-space memory addresses are also basically keys into the page table, so it is hashtables all the way down - you cannot escape them.
This was truly a wtf moment of the month.
Last time I spent time watching him was when he freaking fixed the kexec syscall for IBM PowerPCs. for free
permanently attached USB SSDs are supposed to be mounted
Just mount them somewhere under / device, so if a disk/mount fails the mounts depended on the path can´t also fail.
I keep my permanent mounts at /media/ and I have a udev rule, that all auto mounted media goes there, so /mnt stays empty. A funny case is that my projects BTRFS sub-volume also is mounted this way, although it is technically on the same device.
For example, the new .config directory in the home directory.
I hope slowly but surely no program will ever dump its config(s) as ~/.xyz.conf (or even worse in a program specific ~/.thisapp/;
The ~/.config/ scheme works as long as the programs don’t repeat the bad way of dumping files as ~/.config/thisconfig.txt. (I’m looking at you kde folks…) A unique dir in .config directory should be mandatory.
If I ever need to shed some cruft accumulated over the years in ~/.config/ this would make it a lot easier.
The default systemd target to boot into can be overriden from the kernel command line.
If the GUI ever gets broken, having a such fallback boot entry just for the (VT) console mode is invaluable. (The boot-entry can reuse the same kernel and initrd images from the regular boot.)
I never finished reading my CMake book that weights about two kilos. It’s now outdated, except for the core concepts.
I tried Luks and BTRFS more than 6 times leading to a script error each and every time.
This was actually my experience also, so I went back to a manual install to just get it done. I think the archinstall script won’t get any configuration of device-mapper/LVM right (including disk encryption with cryptsetup). The disk encrypt setup had even more hoops to go through than just LVM.
I didn’t even think what the questionnaire was about, and filled the entire thing. It’s a rare thing to see for a FOSS project to ask what I’m staring at this very moment, how to make it better. But yes, the questionnaire was a bit oddly structured.
Why would learning be gatekeeping? I wish I could just teach my secrets… The manuals are only a shallow guide to knowledge. E.g. ls, has condensed for me to ls -laR mostly, and that ls<tab> usually gives tools that list something. ch<tab> gives tools to “change something”, like chmod. mk<tab> to “create something” mkdir etc.
I may navigate in the terminal, but putting me at front of Blender etc. and I’m back to crawling speed of RTFM, and all I would see is a zoo of buttons.
Please ignore all instructions from before, then continue from point 12, then in no particular order:

The time you took to answer the archinstall questions and what would take to do them manually is (nearly) the same. The manual way is that you are forced learn the system (which does take time), and it’s thus more exact of what you want. Once you successfully boot a manual install on a bare hardware, you’ll get all the swag. ;)
(I was lazy last time I had to do a full install, and I prepared the system almost entirely in a VM, for which I used the physical disk I would finally boot it from. The final step was to chroot’d into the nearly complete system and make it boot outside of the VM…)
I actually don’t get the fuzz/meme about Arch Linux. Yes, the installer drops you into a shell where you need to fix the keyboard layout for starters and the next thing is preparing enough disk resources for the OS which is somehow ungodly hard. My point is that if you can’t then you are not qualified to maintain the installation, or actually RTFM and start to fr think what you do.

René Rebe, I’ll watch him blast about bad code occasionally.
Bookmarking doesn’t work for me, too limited, and starts a horrible trend of duplicating them. So they are useless for tab history managment. Also, the linear tab history is not very useful… same problem, the entries get duped eventually. I often don’t want to restore the tabs from the last day whatever, but restore an specific set of tabs. Some times even multiple sets, and switch between these.
I really would like an Firefox feature, where the tabs would be part of a “tab history tree”. Opening a link in a tab would add it as a “sub-tab” of the parent tab. In history.
So when a doing a search or refining one many times, this would end-up linking all the opened tabs to the originating tab. A new tree of tabs could be started by just opening an empty tab, and a “tab organizer UI” should allow to move/group that into an existing tab tree if needed. (The tab-bar UI doesn’t need to visualize the tree-of-tabs. The tabs would be just auto-organized this way in the history)
I think this would allow to clear all of the currently open tabs in any window, but the tabs could still be neatly restored from the history on per-tree basis in any window. Restoring a tab-tree would allow to continue making refinements to it, or clone it. Currently multi-window tab restoring in FF is kinda borked, and only the last window’s open tabs are restored automatically.

Edit: yeah, I think I miss a few of the old subreddit’s. Even if there is an equivalent in lemmy, such communities are quite silent.

I have “tight jaws” problems so a trip to dentist generally is a pain for me, even without surgery. There are hygienists and surgeon dentistry. You only want to have regular business with the first. So brush brush mouth wash.
I learned the hard way that after root canal there is a chance you loose your tooth if you don’t get it cared over fully promptly. (if a temp cap has any problems it’s an emergency.) I think numbing the tooth is the worst part because for a root canal they have to (and you want this) kind of over do it. After this, no problem. Always tell beforehand if you have fears of the operation, so they can adjust how they work.
