Currently reading Ansible for DevOps by @geerlingguy and wow, I have so much to learn.

Currently on page 144 and there’s already so much I can improve.

Gonna try to implement some of that stuff in my Arch Linux post-install playbook this week.

If im able to do so in time, a few blog post should arrive later this Sunday.

If not, there’s still gonna be a post, but on a different topic.

The playbook will get the blog post soon after improving as it’s well deserved.

Okay this might be a really weird question but I have one question regarding command-line-only workflows.

I am already used to and very comfortable working in the command line as is.

And as any heavy user of the terminal will know, at some point you'll probably start writing scripts and functions and aliases to create your own little shortcuts for common tasks or preferred program call-up options and such. So do I.

Now my weird little 'problem' is that I don't always remember all of the scripts,  aliases, functions and even programs I built for my workflow over the years off the top of my head.

For example, I might have an "update" alias set up, but nine out of ten times will still enter the command manually out of sheer habit.

Or I will have a calendar or to-do application for the CLI/TUI, but sometimes forget that I have it installed when I need it. Or I'll forget where the files are I set up to organise my journal or my time tracking.

Or going even further, I don't always remember all the neat features of my shell I could use, or the computing/typing habits I wanted to build, or the projects I have going on, and so on!

In a graphical desktop environment or on a mobile UI, you have tools like desktop shortcuts, quickstart icons or application launcher menus for an overview of all of your environment's user-facing programs. Seeing an icon out of the corner of my eye sometimes reminds me of things that a purely reactive user interface like a shell doesn't.

Now there's obviously ways to solve this that come to mind:

• writing a script that prints comprehensive documentation on everything, so I only need to remember that one script name.
• keeping a physical cheat sheet next to my computer.
• using a terminal multiplexer to have a permanent digital 'cheat sheet' or 'launcher' open at the side of the screen.
• trying to just automate these things by using cronjobs/services and shell init scripts to, for example, show me the weather and my to-do list automatically on boot so i don't have to remember these commands at all
• trying to keep a super organised self-documenting file system and harmonious custom dotfile configs so every config is in the same place, every program uses the same keybinds, all scripts are in ~/.bin/ or something etc.
• writing my own "home page" type greeter.

… but with all of these solutions, while they may work perfectly fine, something doesn't feel "right"!

I mean it's nice and good to print these things upon shell start, but later on in the day that won't be there to look at anymore. The multiplexer one is cumbersome. The self documenting file system organisation sounds like a pain to maintain.

I feel like this is an issue that corporate folks probably should have solved by now, as documenting workflows for employee handovers and stuff is critical there too. Do they use wikis for that? What about all those newfangled workflows like #scrum and #agile and all, do they have anything to say about documentation?

Can anyone relate? How do you handle this?

Beyond the limits of physical VRAM

Earlier this year, Natalie Vock made a splash with a set of patches to the Linux kernel that greatly increased performance on AMD GPUs with lower amounts of VRAM. With that work now accepted by upstream, Vock decided to turn their attention to another interesting problem: what if you run out of VRAM, and how can we improve performance when we do?

Regardless, what I

If you use #Linux on your desktop, the foundation you *should* support is not the Linux foundation, but rather the @XOrgFoundation AKA freedesktop.org. The X.Org foundation oversees:

- #X11
- #Wayland
- #Mesa
- #Noveau
- #DBus
- #GRUB
- #GStreamer
- #PulseAudio
- #PipeWire
- #NetworkManager
- the Linux kernel graphics subsystem
- the #XDG base directory specification
- and more!

Also, development of what would later become #Flatpak started here.

These projects have a way stronger impact on your day-to-day computing experience than anything managed by the Linux foundation.

RE: https://sunny.garden/@bragefuglseth/116920572163082606

Quoting this again because it extends to the recent happenings as well. You really shouldn't be caring too much about them.

The #Linux Foundation is way less relevant for the Linux desktop space than you might think. The "Linux" in its name is a little misleading, because while it does indeed support the development of the Linux kernel, it also oversees a bunch of other projects. It's not at all comparable to e.g. the #GNOME Foundation, #KDE e.v. or the #Debian project.

It's not run by the same kind of people, and does not have the same kind of goals. It does not concern itself with the ideology of the free software movement, or the "community" in the sense that you and I perceive that word.

It exists as a collaboration ground for corporations, and primarily serves the interests of those.

Happy birthday to us! 🥳️

I was thinking today about my diversity of hardware and systems I maintain.

Sure, I've got a few standard VPS cloud systems (vultr, hetzner) running #FreeBSD. These do the heavy lifting for my web, DNS and other services.

My least standard setup is an RPI4 installed in an RV. The electronics are 100% solar powered and connected to the internet via Starlink. Starlink was also converted to 12v and the router replaced with an openWrt powered system.

What's your most unique setup?

You can run the top command in "batch mode" and have it stop after gathering information once.

Great for getting information and sorting it, for example by processes consuming the most memory.

Could be a useful alias if you need it more than once.

This also works for the BSDs, but with slightly different options.

@Elizafox yeah, the slopification is extreme.

I know folks that are now deciding to go full "Anti AI - Action" and DIY their own minimalist OS/distro because they want "[…] something simple, something auditable […]" and if that means something weird like " toybox + musl / illumos " then that's okay.

• Cuz in the end they only want a smol rescue system to SSH into things.

What's really bitter is how Linux got slopified.

• I hope someone forks it pre-AIslop (6.6.x-longterm) and keeps maintaining i486 support and proper ISA drivers.

OK! After running this poll about X11 vs. Wayland vs. other application environments on #Linux or #BSD or other #UNIX type operating systems, let me ask...what TOOLKIT, what general-purpose widget set or GUI toolkit, is your preferred option:

C is what made the #Linux miracle possible and the #tech elite are very into that.

There's not space here to go into the disastrous corporate corruption underlying the Linux community and fanbase, or the way in which the words #FreeSoftware have come to mean basically nothing in a world where "open source" is a mere buzzword in the mouths of Sam Altman and Elon Musk. There's not a particle or glimmer of actual #freedom anywhere in this scene, all because Linux nerds have tended to like money and power. Lots of it, all the time.

I'm finally switching from ack to ripgrep for quickly searching through text files.

I kept using ack because it's quite fast and being written in Perl, Ack has perfect Perl regex support.

But ripgrep is 10x faster on my projects, popular across teams and has good-enough Perl regex support.

(I recall some bug in the past where another tool get a Perl regex wrong but Ack got it right, but I'm not 💯 it was ripgrep at fault.)

I found this is misleading, but I read this protest a lot around, and while I understand it, I think it is a misunderstanding.
Linux never got has goal to make run forever all kind of hardware. It is a misconception because the hardware support is longer and many used it for old machines, but this is coincidental, not a stated goal.

If you need a OS that runs "forever" on everything, that's NetBSD: running everywhere is their goal.

Perhaps what is really needed around is more awareness to alternatives to Linux too, not just for Windows/MacOsX.

A lot of these drivers that are getting removed from Linux, along the 32bit, are niches that can fall into retrocomputing at this point.
If you fall in it, I could suggest you to pick NetBSD, that has the 32 bit support along many things.
You could even run it on an Amiga68k (the CLASSIC hardware!) even if is a low priority port.
