Hey, I’ve recently designed a Poster about the FHS since I often forget where I should place or find things. Do you have any feedback how to make it better?...
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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
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).
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
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.
This video by dizekat shows a new kind of kinematic system based on string. It should be possible to make very fast but cheap printers like this due to low inertia of the system. Very interesting!
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...
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.

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 :)
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.
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....
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...
Windschatten, wohl gerade in den Niederlanden, ist hilfreich beim Radfahren. Wie verhalte ich mich um Windschatten eines anderen Fahrradfahrenden zu nutzen? Gibt es eine akzeptierte, geläufige Frage, ohne sonderbar zu wirken? in wenigen Tagen überschreitet ich die Grenze zu NL und Gegenwind ist angesagt.
