callcc,

That doesn’t look good :(

callcc,

/mnt is explicitly meant to be used as temporary mountpoint for admins. That’s not a good place.

callcc,

From my humble knowledge I would suggest /var/opt/XXX. It’s the variable part of the /opt hierarchy.

callcc,

I’d be more than happy if this was used. Do whatever you want with it as long as you abide by the CC BY-SA-4.0 license. This means you can share freely and modify as long as you keep the authorship information and share with same license.

callcc,

1000 might by your user’s user-id

callcc,

Done!

callcc,

Added to new version. Thanks for the suggestion.

callcc,

Many FHS things don’t make much sense for single-user (human user) systems on modern hardware. /usr/local does though. It’s for you (as admin) to install software that doesn’t come with the os.

callcc,

The FHS says the thing about /mnt. It’s not normally meant to have subdirectories or be mounted to by default.

callcc,

Depends on the scope of your project. But if they are services for example or you want them to be run by different users on the system, you could either use /opt or /usr/local. There is some discussion about which is better or how to choose: eg. linuxjournal.com/…/pointcounterpoint-opt-vs-usrlo… . The FHS is mostly relevant when packaging your software though.

callcc,

That’s NFS shares? I might add that later although it’s not very common or standard I guess. Thx

callcc,

I’m not into those since they just shift the complexity. People should learn how to package things and just do it. Ok, documentation on making dpkgs is pretty tough to understand and confusing.

But yeah, I guess with docker it’s complete anarchy ( the bad kind of)

callcc,

But who knows what’s inside?

callcc,

I spent a few hours making it myself. Of course based on the standard document.

callcc,

Of course you can, but few people care and do it. There is a saying about docker: “Docker images are like smoothies, you immediately know if you like it but you don’t know what’s inside”. The idea being that there is no good quality control and transparency. People just install random blobs, like in the old days where you would install a cracked game from eMule.

If you care about security, docker is not what you want, they are not reproducible nor transparent nor is it possible to easily update broken shared libraries (eg openssl).

But then again people have different requirements. Some just wanna have things running quickly without the hassle. That’s where docker shines. But it leads us to a world where we hide ugly stuff under the carpet instead of fixing things.

callcc,

I guess the reason it’s not in FHS is that FHS is concerned about system wide things whereas /home is the opposite. It’s the user’s realm.

There is XDG for /home/$user though.

callcc,
callcc,

I’ll have a look but probably not.

callcc,

There is a lot of work being done on reproducible builds in the guix project and other distros. The idea being that you can be sure that a binary package is bit for bit the same, whoever builds it and on whatever system. This would be the first time you have complete traceability of what goes into your binaries.

On guix, you can for example install substitutes of packages which you could also build manually. Since the build environment and the dependencies are very tightly controlled, you have mathematical proof that the substitute is equivalent to the package built by the maintainer. You can thus be sure that no evil third party injected malware into the substitute binary, unless ot was done at source code level and the package maintainer has put it there (by accident).

callcc,

You could invert the colors in GIMP or similar.

callcc,

The legend is a bit broken. Will fix it maybe.

As for the rest, yes, the FHS can be confusing. It’s from a time where mostly professional admins would deal with it and requirements were pretty different from today’s end-user systems. If you want to understand more, I urge you to read the spec. It’s highly readable! refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs.html

callcc,

Added a black background version.

callcc,

The better you understand it the less it seems bad.

callcc,

I unfortunately did it in whimsical.com which is great but also closed if you don’t pay. whimsical.com/fhs-L6iL5t8kBtCFzAQywZyP4X is the best I can do.

callcc,

Thanks for the input. Things are complicated: askubuntu.com/a/135679 . Apparently it originally meant “user” but then slowly was used for system stuff. So people invented backcronyms.

callcc,

Afaik guix is very similar to nixos in that respect. The store where applications are installed is called /gnu there.

callcc,

Uhh, very nice. I didn’t know about xdg-ninja.

callcc,

Searth the web for free fromnext ticket. Companies with stands are giving them away in return for an email address. Sinterit does it for example.

callcc,

Would love to go but have other important stuff happening that week. Next year I’ll go hopefully.

[HELP] PrusaSlicer and Klipper (mainsail) ERROR: Move exceeds max extrusion | SV06

Hi everyone, I figured I have struggled with this enough over the past day and its time to consult the community. I’ve been running this same setup for about a month now with the only major change in that time being implementing the input shaping. Recently (last week) I have been unable to complete any prints because every...

callcc,

Could you share the top few lines (including the first few G1 … Lines) of a gcode file that fails?

callcc,

Hmm, can’t see anything wrong with it unfortunately. I’m also not used to Klipper G-Code (yet).

callcc,

You could also have a look at the few lines of G-Code that seem to trigger it. Although finding that line is not so easy. I’m just wondering if you would find an unexpected jump in the E coordinate ie. E jumping to E. That would at least make sure that the slicer is the culprit. If you don’t find such a thing, I guess your printer is badly configured somehow.

callcc,

People use OS’ for different things. As an admin I’d love to have an os that’s just there and never needs any attention. I’ll have to investigate if slackware fits the bill :)

callcc,

Spiders are no insects technically. But whatever…

callcc,

I would feel so bad for using so much plastic. I already feel like this when using a spool every couple of months.

callcc,

Also add some vinegar, white wine or lemon.

callcc,

Definitely try turning down the current on that motor.

callcc,

The cups look coated from the inside. Interesting but definitely not groundbreaking. I’m looking into printing with biopolymers using a syringe. I’ts interesting also because it needs way less power since no heat is needed.

callcc,

Don’t really like the look of it on David but noce execution and interesting technique

Exploring the available CAD software (faulty.equipment)

Hey there! As a 3D printer addict I do a lot of small parts in CAD to print and use around the house. Lately I’ve been exploring all sorts of CAD software since finding out there’s a more around than just Fusion360 and Onshape so I started exploring what’s out there and jotting down my impressions....

callcc,

This is the topological naming problem and should be solved in an upcoming version pretty soon (within a few months hopefully)

The Fairphone 5 released, is the sleekest repairable phone yet (www.androidpolice.com)

Two years after the Fairphone 4 and following the release of some audio products like the Fairbuds XL, the Dutch company is back with a new repairable phone: the Fairphone 5. It looks and feels a lot like the Fairphone 4, but it adds choice upgrades across the board, making it the most modular and also most modern-looking...

callcc,

noyb.eu/en does it for the EU created by the guy who sued the EU for the EU-US privacy shield infringing on the EU-GDPR.

callcc,

Ich machs gelegentlich, aber nicht ewig :P. Wenn’s jemand bei mir macht, störts mich auch nicht sonderlich sondern spornt mich an schneller zu fahren.
