  • Dns is annoying ti find as a bug on my home system. The ip changes every few days. So until then it works.

    I have a dns updater but updating it without checking the notes, like I do usually, resulted in breaking the current configuration. And I had to figure out how to configure it again.

    Now it works and I don’t update it anymore




  • DNS

    A server where you ask what IP is connected to the letters you enter in the browser.

    VPN

    A way to connect to someone else’s pc and Internet.

    The issue that I had with dns was for example connecting to the router.

    It has a url like fritz.box so you get to the UI. Now with a vpn this won’t work, because the router is circumvented and can’t redirect your DNS request to its own ip.

    However the ip of the router still works.

    So you must know that when using a vpn you have the dns of the config in router of your vpn provider. You can overwrite that on various places but it is a bit confusing.





  • Actually on windows 7 I found out how to get which process is locking one file.

    You open the resources manager (task manager has a link to it)

    Inside you can see how much each process uses on cpu, network and stuff.

    And there is a tab where all used files for each process is listed. You can search for specific files.


  • Development seems to be a bit of bite in the ass.

    Intellij does have a package but for some reason plugins use often some random binaries and those do not work well with nixos.

    Also getting always the right dependencies for the current project was for me difficult to learn.






  • Learning curve is steep. Everything is fine as long as you don’t need to compile some c program that isn’t available in the existing packages.

    Have fun figuring out which libraries it expects to exist in a normal Ubuntu that are not in nixos.

    There is flakes which I haven’t even touched yet, but people claim it makes everything easier.

    I have kde as DE but you can do whatever you want on any Linux system
