More moaning about #linux.

  • More moaning about . I'm trying to get a discourse server off the ground. Why the fuck do they insist on installing non-OS stuff in the middle of all the OS stuff.

    /var/discourse is not a good default. And then fucking docker wants to be /var/lib/docker. Never mind how /var/lib doesn't make any goddamn sense.

    Related to my earlier discussion of hard drive partitioning. What I would like to do is have a volume that is not the operating system, but is instead all the application data. The discourse data, database, assets people upload, etc. That way I can have this nice virtual disk that encapsulates it. I could theoretically build a new node, attach this drive to the new node, and migrate the site. I can snapshot that drive more frequently than, say, the OS drive. Lots of benefits to encapsulating it.

    But no. The discourse "easy installer" sprays shit all over /var. I'm gonna get some database down in /var/lib/docker/something and I'm going to get assets living in /var/discourse, and umpteen gajillion container images in /var/lib/docker.

    But I also have fucking /var/log for OS logs, and /var/run for runtime information like PIDs, and /var/lock and /var/tmp. I think /var/most-important-app-on-the-system is NOT where you put application software. So my volume/filesystem to encapsulate discourse? Is that a big ass /var?

    I love because it is so well organized. They even go to trouble to make packages like postfix or apache fit the idiom, rather than let it install in /var/lib/opt/sbin/etc or some shit.

    @paco this is also important to me. 👊

    @paco@infosec.exchange why Discourse?

    Use NodeBB. We keep our shit in one folder.

    You can put that folder anywhere 🫠

  • An eSIM was recommended to a friend who's travelling to Japan. Her phone isn’t eSIM-compatible, though. Does anyone with local knowledge know if she’d even need a SIM there just for a short trip? I imagine Japanese WiFi to be tip-top in trains, hotels, cafés. But then again, I imagined German WiFi would be tip-top better than Danish WiFi until that time our DSB train crossed the border and Deutsche Bahn immediately turned off the WiFi. So instead of assuming, I will , please

  • @Fabio Platone era un idiota che invidiava chi amava o era amato, entrambe cose evidentemente a lui negate.

  • @TomF I was surprised by how astute this take is. I watch him for music stuff, his interviews with some of my favorite jazz musicians, e.g. Pat Metheny, who Beato obviously loves, are among the best that have ever been done. But, he understands a fundamental aspect of big expensive computers that a lot of people are somehow still missing about AI. There is an assumption that we'll need big data centers forever...or at least for the next decade or two so they can pay for themselves.

  • Ingredienti per ottenere un predatore sessuale di minorenni:

    Prendere un giovane trentenne

    Aggiungere qualche centinaio di milioni di dollari statunitensi degli anni 80

    Lasciare riposare per qualche decina di anni, rabboccando regolarmente la quantità di milioni man mano che quelli precedenti evaporano.

    Condire a piacere con abbondanti applausi, asservimento e leccate di culo a mezzo stampa e in TV, come i cortigiani che applaudivano l’imperatore nudo.

  • Amore platonico (?)

    Amore platonico è un modo usuale di definire una forma di amore priva della dimensione passionale (romantica) e sessuale. Infatti Platone considera l'attrazione fra i corpi il primo dei vari livelli di amore, benché egli aggiunga che questo livello vada abbandonato per giungere a quelli superiori (amore per l'anima, per le leggi e le istituzioni, per le scienze, assoluto)...
