A bit of a PSA for LG owners running webOS:

https://www.webosbrew.org/

I rooted my tv and now have adless youtube, but apparently root is not a prerequisite - there also installation using dev mode. Admitedly, haven’t tried it and it’s probably less convenient to get it set up, but then it should be a one time thing.

How do you control it? Any fancy integration or just good old mouse?

At least on zsh it would pop both of those as suggestions you can cycle through.

I did not know that! Thank you!

What do you mean by implementations? Is this closer debian vs rhel or more like linux vs bsd?

killall -9 processname works well when you can’t be asked to get the pid.

kill -9 $$ is my favourite way to save face when I enter something into shell that shouldn’t be in its history. Usual situation - switching panes and forgetting a recently used sudo session. Switching to root and getting there without a password prompt, but still typing it in. Wouldn’t be helpful in situations where shell history is monitored remotely, but hey ho.

I’m a syaadmin now, but self hosting nextcloud is what got me my first IT job. I now host a bunch of stuff (even email!), lemmy included.

how did you decide that you would like to self-host? I wanted my friends to play a cs1.6 map I had created.

That voice acting! Marvelous!

dire problems, including those that accumulate over time

That’s not a thing. You create problems over time by experimening in what is, effectively, production load. If all you ever did was install any distro and kept it up to date - not much can break. Granted - shit happens, but it’s incredibly rare.

As an example - I’ve set up my mail server in May 2019. Chose archlinux, because I never wanted to go through a big upgrade. The only exta software installed there is mail-server related. Direct from the repos. I’ve become confident enough that now there’s a nightly cronjob to update the system with a hook to reboot if kernel or init gets updated.

In all those 5 a bit years I’ve had one issue where I hqd to revert a kernel update.

Another example is tang on an ubuntu server. This was at a previous workplace, but essentially it’s a piece of software from the repos. Originally installed on 16.04, has gone without reprovisioning all the way to 22.04. I’ve now left the company, but I hear it’s still running.

Upgrading an ubuntu desktop fleet with a myriad of custom software, on the other hand… let’s just not talk about it.

I’ve skimmed over the blog post briefly - the post itself has nothing, but the link in it to the git repo has a (what appears to me) very straightforward set of instructions.

Text is difficult, I don’t mean to be an ass; I don’t want to spell it out for anyone, either. Part of magic dies that way :)

Let me know if there’s any step you need a hand with.

I’m not the best person to query about backups, but in your situation I would do the following, assuming both server and desktop run on BTRFS:

Have a script on the desktop that starts btrfs-receive and then notifies the server that it should start btrfs-send.

You can also do rsync if BTRFS is not a thing you use, but It would either be expensive storage wise, or you would only ever have 1 backup - latest.

I’ve had more playing with those angles than I dare admitting. Thank you!

Same as the other commentor. Good read!

As comment in another post said - this is for modules only. There’s still a ton of binary fluff that is the main cause of issues and that is not getting open sourced.

I’m running Graphene on a pixel - google camera works as it would normally. The only issue is the preview-click-to-open-gallery bit not working. It needs the Photos app which I have not installed on purpose.

Is this from Tokyo Vice?

No, cardboard is out of the question. Same for paper.

I’ve found this.

It does seem suspicious, though.

Sysadmin rather than dev here, but magit was what converted me to emacs. And then, at some point, it clicked that the whole shell uses the same (where applicable) shortcuts as emacs. Or, more likely, the other way around. Anyway, point being - what I learnt in emacs, I could reuse on all the hosts I ssh into.

On top of that - basic navigation in tmux also uses the same shortcuts. Win-win-win :)

What peace deals were those? Must’ve missed them.
