What's involved in getting a "modern" terminal setup? in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] rutrum@programming.dev 3 points 8 months ago

Atuin has been such a life saver. I never learned/used whatever mechanism bash had for looking up history... (ctrl+s maybe?) And the history command always seemed to miss things.

Spice rack cleaning day. in c/cooking@lemmy.world

What's your favorite spice? If that doesnt make sense for cooking then I'll just ask what spice do you use most often?

Which is great for TSMC opening new fabs in the US too lol

This project uses Docker to create an environment where you can run containers on a remote host, in such a way that your local working directory is visible to the container and optionally use X11. in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] rutrum@programming.dev 3 points 9 months ago

Many people think of Docker as a virtual machine, but a better way to look at it is as a security wrapper around a process.

I really like this interpetation of containers. Thanks for sharing.

Why is xxx2nix a preprocessing step? (programming.dev)
 

For example, compose2nix lets you build nixos configuration for containers defined in a docker compose compose.yml. But this step happens offline. You have to first ad hoc generate the config from the compose.yml and then use that generated output in your config.

It seems obvious to me that the best user experience would be to write a flake/module that let's you just point to a compose file directly in your config. On rebuild, it would parse the compose file and build the appropriate config.

But I've not really seen that. These projects that convert from one package mamagement scheme or config file to another (xxx2nix projects) work using this preprocessing step. More examples include pip2nix and cargo2nix.

Given how common this pattern is, I suspect there is something preventing generating at rebuild time from being feasible, or at least easy. Does anyone have ideas for why this is? Thanks.

1 big SSD or multiple? New NAS build. (programming.dev)
 

I'm looking to spec out a new NAS. I have a relatively small media collection, that I hope to grow as I digitize more family VHS tapes etc. Right now I have around 4 TB of data, shared across an external drive and my internal ssd.

Whats the best path forward on drives in this new NAS? I've heard advice for buying one big 20TB drive over multiple smaller drives. What's best for mitigation of drive failure? Is that even a concern? If I do multiple drives, should I use RAID?

I'm a little new to this. If you have resources for learning some best practices I'm all ears.

We started a new privacy podcast. in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] rutrum@programming.dev 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Im glad you are not over ambitious with your schedule. An episode every three weeks / month is a great way to keep going. I remember when privacy guides said they were going to do a "this week in privacy" which unfortunately lasted about 6 weeks. I wish you best of luck!

How many people around you (family, friends, colleagues, etc.) use Signal? in c/privacy@programming.dev
[–] rutrum@programming.dev 0 points 9 months ago

Me and one other tech friend who appeased me. We tried simplex first, but sometimes their background service would be off and they wouldnt get messages. So we switch to Molly.

RustDesk, probably one of the best TeamViewer Alternatives in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] rutrum@programming.dev 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I've had an amazing time remoting into friends and families windows machines from my linux box, and they were able to install rustdesk very easily. It's incredibly streamlined and has been so helpful when I need it.

systemd has been a complete, utter, unmitigated success in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] rutrum@programming.dev 4 points 9 months ago

Most compiled output of NixOS configuration (besides packages, perhaps) is just systemd units anyway. I found out quickly when learning nix that my lack of systemd prowess was going to cap how well I could understand NixOS.

Where can I find the 500 most exciting nix.conf files and try them ? in c/nix@programming.dev

I've been playing an MMO that you can only play via rest API calls: Artifacts (artifactsmmo.com)

The gist is you write macros/automations/scripts to play the MMO based on your logic.

I decided to do it in bash/curl/jq to make it extra fun and learn some tools I use occasionally but only withheavy man page referencing. After some playing I might be a bash-scripting pro.
