It is very stable and I like that when an update breaks it fails to build rather than failing down the road during runtime, but I never quite got the hang of running -9999 packages (Gentoo’s -git equivalent), which I like running on Arch. Also in general getting new updates quicker and just having a bigger library of packages and the AUR available, since it was kinda getting old coming across software I use or wanna use that has no ebuild available and having to make my own.

I mained it for a year but not all beauty is worth pain.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Alternative to github pages?English
2·5 months agoBesides other pages alternatives you could try a cheap vps. They start as low as $10/year and any will be plenty for a static site. It’s also fun to play around with hosting other stuff. lowendbox.com has some good listings.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Context: Docker bypasses all UFW firewall rules
5·6 months agoI put off docker for a long time for similar reasons but what won me over is docker volumes and how easy they make it to migrate services to another machine without having to deal with all the different config/data paths.
Even if something is finished it’s a risk if no one looks after it since there’s always the possibility of security vulnerabilities, software is rarely truly done.
For Arch, packages are archived online for quite a while, you could still install neofetch via
sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/n/neofetch/neofetch-7.1.0-2-any.pkg.tar.zstcurrently.Installed packages are also left in
/var/cache/pacman/pkguntil cleaned up manually and can be similarly installed from there. The one thing to look out for is whether the dependencies are still available and compatible since, unlike on Windows, packages don’t usually bundle their dependencies. For a closer experience in that regard there’s.AppImagewhich is a self-contained package similar to an.exe.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•NGINX Introduces Native Support for ACME ProtocolEnglish
8·6 months agoI believe Let’s Encrypt only allows wildcard certs for DNS challenges so it’s not really in the scope of Nginx; but I haven’t used other web servers, do they implement that?
Edit: Looked into Caddy, it seems to have a plugin system for DNS providers, that’s pretty slick. I can’t see that ever happening for Nginx they seem very opinionated in wanting to be unopinionated unfortunately. I’m still sad they rejected the PR to implement
prefers-color-schemefor default error pages.
How are the numbers tracked?

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•PewDiePie goes full Linux! Year of the Linux desktop!
454·10 months agoI expected it to be a silly video with lots of misinfo but he’s just spitting for 20 minutes straight, really pleasantly surprised.
I cannot wait for Firefox to finally support WebUSB.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Dual-booting as an intermediate phase for fully switching OSs
1·1 year agoI can recommend Btrfs for testing distros on bare metal. You can install them onto subvolumes without needing to change the physical partition layout, then once happy with one delete all the other subvolumes to reclaim your space. Only downside is not all distros’ installers support them natively so it needs some manual work occasionally.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Discord now properly supports screensharing on linux
2·1 year agoHaven’t used it in a while but from what I remember it always puts you in idle if you do something else and only back to online if you do something in Discord itself, as expected from the Wayland limitation.
It could be implemented with the ext-idle-notify-v1 protocol.
zram is swap on ram, it works by compressing parts of the ram when you run low and it’s much faster than traditional disk-based swap.
When I started hitting OOMs I just downloaded free ram.
(Modifying my zram-generator config to use 1.5x my ram size instead of the measly 4GB – uncompressed – default. Seriously it’s worth looking into, though default depends on your distro)

KDE@lemmy.kde.social•This week in KDE: Discover and moreEnglish
4·2 years agoIdeally there should be no issue with speaking different languages on Lemmy since you can set a language for your comments and which languages you wanna see, but that probably doesn’t translate to outside posts and not everyone sets a language.
It’s fitting for this image too since CachyOS kernel + packages + defaults go zoom.
Laughs in LLVM-compiled kernel.
I believe you’re looking for KWrite.
