Because if you are into minimalism there’s no eye candy. I use river as well and decided to ditch the status bar. There’s literally nothing to see on my screen except for my terminal. It might have neovim but again, i went super stock on my neovim config: https://erock-git-dotfiles.pgs.sh/tree/main/item/dot_config/nvim/init.lua.html

There’s really nothing to see

Sorry but this is a ridiculous argument. What entity has dropped nukes on an entire population? Who is the current president of the US? Insane take.

There’s also archinstall which comes with the latest os image which is just like any other installer and holds your hand through the process.

It’s really very simple to get arch installed

My salt is just a memorized password I put in addition to the one stored in pass

This is what I do. If someone can figure out pass with my password protected gpg, plus my passwords are partials (I salt them), and otp then they can have my access

I have a simple bash script that manages folders and files with a way to route them to whatever location. Then I run the script and it does all the symlinking for me. This is what I do for systemd unit files and my own dotfiles

For anyone looking for a simple rss-to-email digest I recommend this service: https://pico.sh/feeds

Stand up a local lfs server or figure out a different way to store large files. I generally avoid lfs

Why not just run bare repos on your n100? That’s what I do. I have no need for a code forge with code collab when it’s just me pushing

If you want a web viewer use a static site git viewer like https://pgit.pico.sh/

While not the same I use an rss-to-email service that hits the minimal sweet spot for me

https://pico.sh/feeds

Ah interesting, how does this compare with treesitter-textobjects?

It seems like there might be exceptions to the “no partial upgrades” which has not been discussed: you can pin your version of the kernel primarily to give time for packages like zfs to catch up to the latest kernel

I’ve never used bcachefs and only recently read about some of the drama. I wish the project the best but at this point it is hard to beat zfs

Here’s my journey from arch to proxmox back to arch: https://bower.sh/homelab

I was in your shoes and decided to simplify my system. It’s really hard to beat arch and I missed having full control over the system. Proxmox is awesome but it felt overkill for my use cases. If I want to experiment with new distros I would probably just run distrobox or qemu directly. Proxmox does a lot but it ended up just being a gui on top of qemu with some built in backup systems. But if you end up using zfs anyway … what’s the benefit?

Many political terms are so emotionally charged they are virtually useless except to insight controversy. In media it’s all a complete distraction to cause in-fighting and control how we think

I’ve been slowly working on a set of decoupled services that could replace some aspects of GitHub.

https://pr.pico.sh/ — a pastebin supercharged for git collaboration.

https://pgit.pico.sh/ — static site generator for git repos.

Both are still WIP but I think they are pretty handy

If you want low effort high value then get a synology 2 bay. If you want full control over the host OS then run Debian/arch with zfs

I didn’t use any of the terms you used in your post. I’m not using those products in part for the reasons I discussed but also I don’t see it particularly useful beyond a cult of personality building it.

This was a really great read. The numbers don’t lie: 7 companies each independently invested 100 bn in AI and have seen little revenue in return (relatively speaking). When overlaying that on top of its impact on the us stock market as a whole, once the veil has been lifted that this is not leading to super intelligence, a bubble will burst and the entire economy will feel it.

That doesn’t mean “nothing to see here, move on.” It means that AI isn’t the bow-wave of “impending superintelligence.” Nor is it going to deliver “humanlike intelligence.”

It’s a grab-bag of useful (sometimes very useful) tools that can sometimes make workers’ lives better, when workers get to decide how and when they’re used.

This is the part that is overlooked when discussing anti-ai hype: these tools are very useful, but they appear only useful to the skilled laborer wielding them, instead of the investor claim that they will be replaced.

I have the rb5009, love it and routerOS. WireGuard and DDNS was so simple to setup, I found the software much better than unifi.
