My mum takes care of vulnerable and very Ill hedgehogs in our garden.

I like to think it that way: It’s a bit like we human represent an Alien abduction, when they get home to their family they talk how some Extraterrestrial being took them and made some crazy experiment on them and nobody believes it ! 😅😁

Yeah Lemmy is very Linux oriented :). Though I do agree Linux is harder to get into but that’s not because GNU/Linux is difficult, it’s because we were so much accustomed to how Windows work !

I don’t really remember because it has been ages, but I’m sure my first steps with Windows 98 where awful and not easy and intuitive at all !

Linux has a lot of issues so does Windows (and MacOS) and learning a whole new paradigm of a working system takes time and some investement, but after you get the basic gists, Linux gives you total control of everything ! (Like to see hidden directories is like Windows, just a check box to show hidden files :) don’t need a CLI for that)

You rarely need the use of the Terminal when on easier distributions like PopOS or Ubuntu (while I wouldn’t suggest the later), However if you tried more difficult distribution first (like arch and derivatives), CLI is mandatory !

Not saying YOU should switch, do whatever makes you happy, more productive and vibes with your current needs/feeling…

However, If you feel the need to switch the Linux community will always welcome you :) Keep in mind, there are good people and a**holes everywhere !

Glad you solved your issue with massgrave, which is a great tool :) ! Have fun with your system !

Edit: Sorry for the off topic XD discussion got a bit heated up haha ! I’m kinda surprised it didn’t got deleted !

Yeah I learned that the hardway when comparing MacOS/linux USB speed…

Took like “seconds” on Linux. I looked quite dumb asking a question and asking for help on Lemmy while shitting (again) on my Mac !

I have somewhere in my notes a command to show interactively how the memory cache gets dumped into my USB stick.

Kinda boggus that’s an over 20 years old known “issue”.

I am not interested in Linux.

The 2 big players in the self-hosted community are:

• Mealie

• Grocy

I have them both on my to do list but haven’t gotten into to give any feedback :/

I was quite impressed by how it looks and the free option ! However, seeing Google tag manager and tiktok analytics domains and I’m already out !

Tmux has probably some specific features Kitty won’t do as good as a native multiplexer? (sorry I’m not the right person to ask this question :s) but It has the features I’m looking for without the need to install one.

It was quite cumbersome to configure a terminal + a multiplexer on MacOS to behave how I liked it. Kitty solved this issue while being fast, simple and a lot of customization in one single app.

One feature that was really important, copy/past over SSH with Micro which involved quite a hacky thing with iTerm2 + Tmux.Also being able to split my windows, create tabs…

But as I said I have only basic use cases and can’t really say If Kitty’s multiplexing features are on par with Tmux. However, during my web search I read about a lot of people far more knowledge than myself who actually switch to kitty from Tmux without regrets !

Yeah Alacritty was my second pick, but after reading their documentation it seemed more for people accustomed to Vi and the like.

So yeah that’s not something I’m willing to spare some time right now, anyway I’m mostly doing some “sys admin” stuff in my homelab, so simple text editing in a simple terminal is a better fit in my workflow/learning process !

Kitty is probably the best terminal emulator I’ve ever tried out… It even made me drop Tmux as multiplexer on my stupid Mac !

I only have basic use case right now, nothing complex but customization seems way above others.

The full OSC52 integration with micro for copy/past over SSH and taking up the terminal clipboard was also a game changer (nearly dropped micro because of this…)

I only scratched the surface and have only basic usage and still I can’t believe one single person is behind this project (I think?).

Yeah most seedboxers are just the new leechers of this generation… Keeping up their ratio about an unreasonable amount where they can leech everything they want without the need to give back…

They just stay for the necessary amount of time specified by their private tracker and leave the queue afterwards.

IMO seedboxes should have another rule associated to them… Straight to 1 month seeding time or get a hit&run warning !

This really looks great, I got a question though. As I understand it, it works based on your bash_history which can be very small or autodeleted after each poweroff for privacy & security reasons.

So it doesn’t work in that case. However, creating a file containing a list or array? Of commands could that be a possible way to implemented a similar behavior?

I’m asking because I’m not very proficient in any programming language but have done some small bash scripts here and there and quite interested in this functionality !

My god… I’m so confused by your comment XD ! OP’s command is something I already came across, so I somehow got it… But your comment put me in total brain rot !

Okay XD it’s less funny when you have to explain the joke XD sorry !!

I’m not very acquainted with any programming language so maybe I’m wrong here (or I didn’t get the joke? XD) but bash didn’t change much in the past few years, I even read some scripts more than 10 years still works because the syntax stays the same (or doesn’t change a lot …)

Compared with the switch from python 2 -> python 3 I read a lot of people pulling their hair off xD

XD okay ! Maybe I put to much fought into it 😅

For my docker containers I use what’s up docker which not only alerts me when there is an update but also give a link to the changes, so I can have a look what’s happening !

For my system itself… Just doing sudo pacman -Syu. Though that’s not great, cause some updates can potentially break my EndeavourOS system… I keep sometimes an eye on the forum when I see some critical changes like the kernel itself or nvidia updates though.

The only thing I don’t install via that way is Firefox addons.

Any specific reason why? Yesterday I installed LibreWolf and saw at the same time a few addons in the AUR.

Do you know what’s the difference from an AUR addon or the official Firefox addon repo?

I guess It would be for security reasons because you never know if someone has tempered with the addon.

Damn… DNS issue early in the morning… What a nightmare 😂! Hope you got enough caffeine.

It really depends on your metadata/ directory structure. Even though navidrome doesn’t care of your directory structure it’s better to have everything neatly separated !

You can spin a docker compose (if you’re a bit acquainted with it) and simply point to your external drive containing your media, just to give it a try and see how it performs with your media files.

Just give it a try and see how it works, however I would wait for the new scanner update before upgrading fully to navidrome which would give some new long awaited functionalities like VA list of all artist.

But I had so many services running it was a pain to maintain.

Are you talking about docker containers? You should take a look at what’s up docker to maintain and keep track of your containers. I have approximately 20 containers and It was easier to keep track this way. If you’re more in the 50/100 range… Yeah this sounds a lot ! :o

It makes me kinda uneasy to see Google way down the list… :/ This seems suspicious as fuck ! Not about the person who made the list, but when something so evil makes something so easy to unlock, make my eyebrows twitch !
