Oh yeah, nothing to do with intelligence for sure. I just meant that, for me, since I've always used mouse plus a good amount of keyboard shortcuts, was too much to learn. That and the config files (hyprland, hyprpaper, this and that). I'd rather have less options, but be it more "easy" on the learning curve. On my work pc I use a tiling assistant for Gnome (it runs on catchyOS) and I just have a few combinations to tile midscreen or to the corners, and that is enough most of the time. "It is just that the brain forgets stuff it doesn’t see as relevant " that is so true and infuriating now that I'm trying to learn some academic work... pretty irrelevant for me lol

Something that I really like about Catchy is that it's been a really smooth experience so far. I wouldn't even know what to customize other than the DE, to be honest... so I'll keep running Catchy then :) As for the Arch benefits; I've always used Ubuntu and it is true that problably someone asked xyz so you'll find the answer on some forum but the archwiki is so good that it helps not only to fix sutff, but also to learn stuff lol. That's been for me the benefit. (That and also the pac-man-like animation when updatind the system lol). Thanks for the answer!

Oh I'm so saving this in case I want to try it out! Thanks for the detailed answer! I'll problably install Arch on an old laptop that's been laying around for too long and see how it goes :)

This is actually a great post. I've struggled with this and it feels like all those tiling window managers are for power users. They're a pain to customize and 0 intuitive (at lest for me). I share your question!

How hard would be for me to switch coming from catchyOS? And would it be worth it lol

In /docker I have just the yml and .env files. All the data is on an external volume, docker runs as a local process and Dockman is a container (not sure if this is what you asked, sorry).

I tried dockge yesterday and I think it does not change permissions, haven't had time to really check. I just want to select and x number or containers and click update lol until now I had to get into every folder and docker compose pull.

I just found out something else: restic can't access the folders because root:root. this is so annoying! I'll try podman again... I didn't see how to make it find my containers lol

 

tl;dr: dockman changing permissions of /docker an I don't like it. Is it normal? Am I a control freak?

I've been using Linux for years, but always at a user level. Since last year I started tinkering, since I wanted to get out of big tech dependency. Now I'm running a modest home server and it's been great so far.

The problem I'm facing right now is that the number or docker containers grew up to a point where I thought of using a manager of sorts. Dockman feels good enough for me but it keeps changing permissions of the docker folder to root:root, so I keep getting pushed out.

I guess makes sense that, if I manage everything from Dockman, it would take control, but I really don't like that I can't manage permissions of folders on my server or PC and delegating that to a mere docker manager.

Thoughts on this?

I feel like an idiot. No, I have not! I got so frustrated with the starter not rising that I've been tossing starters that smelled really good. Should I use those dry yeast o the refrigerated ones?

[–] Beardedleftist@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago (3 children)

I've used mine (although the rising was mediocre) and the flavour was intense, we really like it!

I got the book because I could not for the life of me get it right... Lately I'm just throwing flour and water a I see fit. We'll see if the underthinking works lol Thanks for the advice!

Do you feed it once a day?

I can't get my sourdough starter... Started! I get to a point where I feed it and it gets a bit bubbly but nothing else. It's like a soup. It's weird because the first feedings go so well: it grows, smells great, but after a few days it just kind of dies. I don't want to give up but I even bought a book, followed instructions to the gram and still won't get it right!

PS those baguette look so good!!!

I've been thinking about buying a meshtastic device for a while now but I'll tinker with reticulum first, because the concept is amazing and would solve an actual problem for me. Thanks for sharing!

 

Hi everyone!

First time posting here and so happy that there's a community about composting!

I was having a look at the different posts and saw some about critter IDs. I just wanted to let you guys know that iNaturalist lets you create projects and I follow this one https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/home-compost-exploration, which turned out to be useful sometimes.

It's great that you can contribute uploading pictures of whatever you find in your compost, and pretty fun (if you're curious) to see what other piles attract all over the world. You can also filter by location, of course, and see what you might find in neighbouring piles.
