Bcachefs, love COW files. I wish all file systems had it even if it naively copied the whole file on first write. Sort of a write safe hard link.

omg capitalism, my life is now worse having seen this option!1

did I do it right, lemmy.ml?

Pixel,

If this is real, I wonder why they didn’t just use charcoal to capture the same market that likes hotdogs (and potentially dislikes licorice)

[Question] Which shell prompt do you use and why?

Hi. I’ve been using powerlevel10k for a long time, but a few days ago, I decided I wanted to customize it a bit. I opened the .p10k.zsh file, and I was shocked. It’s really massive, with TONS of options. I’ve been digging through for a few hours already, and it’s absolutely amazing how much you can customize it without...

Pixel,

I used to color my prompt depending on which server I was connected to (ssh), and a different color scheme for prod, dev and local. But that was a long time ago and the script is buried somewhere, also I don’t stay ssh’d to nearly as many places as I did back then. But I did like it, I’d use it now if I had it.

Solution, don’t use Gmail either

I’ll believe it when I see it. I think there’s low inventory.

Pixel,

Honestly I didn’t even know it was still supported and would have assume they dropped it years ago. You can still use non-web clients so it’s not a huge deal. You can also use a less modern style email host if you prefer.

Whole Foods argues it can ban BLM masks because the Supreme Court let a Christian business owner refuse same-sex couples (fortune.com)

Amazon.com’s Whole Foods Market doesn’t want to be forced to let workers wear “Black Lives Matter” masks and is pointing to the recent US Supreme Court ruling permitting a business owner to refuse services to same-sex couples to get federal regulators to back off....

Pixel,

No, you are conflating the organization with the phrase. Probably why they picked that name. People oppose the org and their Marxist agenda, not so much (I hope) black people.

No cookies before dinner.

You are basically insuring yourself against those expenses, which has a premium. If you are good with money and have a savings, you can afford not to pay that premium. Not everyone is in that position or smart enough with money. So many people are bad with money, that stuff really should be taught in school.

How do you deal with being broke?

I’m in my 30s so I should be used to this by now, but this shit is getting so stressful guys. I have no savings, my checking account is drained every month with rent, and if there’s ever a serious emergency I have no safety net, I’m legitimately fucked. I’m one unplanned expense away from absolute ruin. Those in the same...

I have never paid that per year for a cell phone, and my monthly bill is cheaper than your land-line

Pixel,

If blue cities are so bad, why are property values there so high?

Regulations stifling the building of new accommodating housing. Large cities in some red states have massive apartment complexes. Up to you to decide if you like that living arrangement but it lowers prices.

Pixel,

Is that for the VPN, or actually all wifi connections? Not sure how it would be possible for wifi

Pixel,

Https is no match for work monitoring: pre-installed software, certs.

Pixel,

I was talking about work VPN, the thing I connect to every morning to access work’s internal services.

I don’t see how a 3rd party device connecting to wifi can have https MITM. Otherwise many wifi out there would do it and steal your info.

Pixel,

Can you link to something with more info on how it works? I know how certs work and CAs but not how some random wifi network can hijack that whole trust system. It sounds like it would defeat the whole purpose of https. Thanks in advance.

Pixel,

The way Microsoft is just ignoring the user’s default browser choice makes me not want to use edge ever.

Pixel,

I think rebranding Twitter as x was pretty stupid. I wouldn’t have minded it if x was like a parent app and it was “Twitter by X” or something. But now they’re just alienating their users.

Pixel,

Switched to lemmy 100% after 17+ years of reddit, daily user. I think it’s ok but increasingly getting annoyed with a couple things. The rampant extreme politics and phrasing as if it’s fact, and people complain about cross posts but I literally see the same exact posts (same community) over and over as I scroll through the feed. Other than that it doesn’t nearly have much content but that’s to be expected.

That was from 1981 in MS-DOS

Also from MS-DOS in 1981

I didn’t know it didn’t use email at first. Mine had an inaccessible email and I was able to recover my account a few years ago by giving the support info about it, like people’s names in my contact list. It was fun for 3 seconds and I haven’t returned since.

How do you like Haiku?

Well… tax on infinity dollars is (crunches numbers) infinity dollars! Government deficit averted!

What is the worst US state to live in generally?

I’m aware that, at the moment, Florida is deemed unsafe for people to travel to, but what is generally the worst state to live in? Factors such as education, religious extremism, crime, cost of food, healthcare, and access to other resources are relevant. Will “Deep South” states remain one of the worst places to live in...

Pixel,

I think it is a completely personal choice, and that’s what’s so great about it

Pixel,

CentOS. We were stuck on an old version at work. The OS is already designed to use old packages for security/stability, so imagine how outdated they are on an old version. It was a nightmare getting new software running on it. That coupled with the other news surrounding CentOS and RHEL, I’m not touching those anymore w a 10 foot pole. I wish it just crumbles and Debian takes over. I have had amazing success with like 20 years on Debian and it just gets better and better.

Books will start needing to add a robots.txt page to the back of the book

They are known to die randomly, as mine has. So I’m cautious about jumping in again, sadly

It’s not so back and white anymore, is it

A car? you wouldn’t!

I believe online piracy is the uploading part, not the downloading. I think uploading has a much more narrow use case, but if everyone stopped we wouldn’t be able to download.

Pixel,

yea… your sentence was pretty generic, anyway it was a joke

such as thinking and moving and living

bold of you to assume

Is Tidal/Deezer worth it?

Hello, everybody, I’ve been thinking to move on from my Spotify subscription to move to Tidal or Deezer. I want to try out HIFI audio, but still get a good and stable experience. Are there any suggestions for which one I should pick? Could you also tell about your experience with those apps, or are there any other you would...

Pixel,

I am really loving the sound quality on deezer, switched to it a couple months ago after my YouTube music family plan price jumped 50%. I put up with YTM’s awful quality for the (old) price and other perks (YT) for years but no longer. Haven’t tried tidal.

Pixel,

Honestly I never really saw the point of it, just seems like another dependency. The compose file and the docket run commands have almost the same info. I’d rather jump to kubectl and skip compose entirely. I’d like to see a tool that can convert between these 3 formats for you. As for piping into bash, no - I’d only do it on a very trusted package.

Pixel,

To be fair, I ask about stuff I wish we were using, in hopes that some day we will

Pixel,

Let’s have no influencers, FTFY

Pixel,

Isn’t that akin to security through obscurity… you might want one more layer of defense
