After my having 3 Sinclair computers, I moved on to Atari ST, for a week... before I switched it for an Amiga. At the time, Atari and Amiga were the big names in home computing, while those with more funds might have gone with a Mac or a PC.

What did you use?

#Computer #Atari #Amiga #RetroGaming #Linux

9% Atari ST
30% Amiga
6% Mac
38% PC
14% Other
3% None

I've played a bit with the #TODOmd hook and I know how many TODOs there are in some popular Open Source projects:

* CPython: 187 TODOs
* Linux: 3788 TODOs
* Git: 112 TODOs
* Go: 455 TODOs

Source: https://codeberg.org/lig/todo-md/src/branch/main/README.md#examples-of-todo-md-generated-for-some-open-source-projects

What other Open Source projects should I enhance with the TODO.md file?:)

I've been gifted 3 boxes of Dell 5/7 series latitudes. All solid state, i7 and 16 gigs of ram!

Came from a company that was just culligm them for being too old.

You know there getting the #linux and #NixOS treatment and going back out into the world for free locally for folks.

Thanks to Linux for giving machines like this an epic second life!

Coworker: Sir, how do you deal with stress, depression, and the rat race of life?

Me: Ah, my friend, whenever existential dread starts creeping in, I remember... somewhere out there, in the giant maze of Microsoft, there's a poor soul whose sole purpose is to ensure Microsoft Edge functions flawlessly on Linux. Suddenly, my problems seem far less difficult to solve. It's all about perspective, you see. 😉

Pondering #Linux distros...

Arch-based

You're either doing the full Arch experience (good for you), or doing something Arch-based that's going to be unpredictably unstable and leave you with a non-booting system at some point in the future, and not having the technical understanding to fix it. Been burned by that already (twice!), hard pass.

Directly #Debian-based

I love Debian. I've loved it ever since a kind person at a Linux LUG burned me a copy of the Debian Potato 2.2 CD-ROMs in 2000. But an every-two-year release schedule is kind of hard to deal with given our current break-neck seat-of-your-pants development practices. Lots of compilers don't even want to work in Debian after midpoint or so in the release (1 year old), requiring things like rustup to be able to compile many tools.

Ubuntu-based

I'm going to skip over all of the meme-based criticisms of Ubuntu, and even the more technical criticisms of snap, which isn't that hard to eliminate. Simply put, from the things I've read, canonical sounds like a cult of personality, and gives me a bit of the heebie-jeebies. Other than that, ubuntu-based distros have the great benefit of actually decent user-focus and community support.

Fedora-based

#Fedora is adored by a lot of Linux enthusiasts, and has the benefit of a fairly large user-base, as well as being in the sweet-spot of having biannual updates. The only negative is the big lumbering evil shadow of IBM. I honestly don't know exactly what the relationship between Fedora and IBM (RedHat) is, but I'm fairly certain [it can't be said that there is none].

Umm... what exactly is left? Anything user-friendly? Well, perhaps...

OpenSuSE-based. (Yes, I'm using the old capitalization, because I'm crochety like that ;)

OpenSUSE Leap seems to have a release every year, which is pretty cool, but the new #OpenSUSE #SlowRoll seems like a really nice solution!
SUSE gives off a lot of "RedHat before they turned super evil" vibes, and I'm down with that
OpenSuSE also packages a lot of software for other distros. The debian package I'm using for #GPXSee, for example, is provided by https://packages.opensuse.org — that's super cool!

Worst keyboard layouts?

Personally I think that azerty was meant made by drunk students trying to troll people but it somehow caught on.

Hey, qwerty is kinda bad… You think we could try to make one that’s even worse to mock it?
Oooh that’d be hilarious! Let’s make a French version of qwerty but a lot worse!
I know, lets put dead keys for all accents except for the accent aigu so that when you need it on an uppercase letter you CAN’T type it!
Ahah good one! Let’s also not add anyway to type an uppercase cedilla! Imagine, a French keyboard that can’t type uppercase é and ç !
And what if we rearrange all the punctuation and symbols so that the open and closed parenthesis are no longer next to each other? It’d be sooo funny!
Right right! Let’s do it too for the brackets and curly braces too!
Good one! How about we don’t add guillemets which are used in French instead of english double quotes, so that people will be forced to type double quotes and their advanced text editors will have to automatically replace them by guillemets so that the text uses correct punctuation for French?
That’s so sneaky! Let’s also add § so you can cite your sources with the correct paragraph symbol, but not use real quotations marks for the quotes!
What else would be really stupid?
Let’s use one key for a random greek letter!
What?
You know, like α and β?
Ermm… okay… which one? α or β?
Neither, people might actually use those once every 2 years. Let’s just pick one at random!
µ it is! Has anyone even seen that letter used in a French text?
Nope, never, so it’s perfect!
How about also adding ¤?
What the hell is ¤?
I haven’t the faintest clue! And neither do you or most people! That why it’s funny!
Sure, why not, let’s cram pointless characters and not add actually useful ones like guillemets! Any other ideas?
Let’s put the hyphen on the one most unreachable key!
Oh that’s a good one!
I got better! Let’s put the period on the same key as the semicolon, but with the semicolon as the default character, and periods will be Shift+semicolon! That way we can say that it’s canonically why French phases are long-winded: it’s easier to type a comma or semicolon than a period!
Man you’re hilarious!

When I was still on Windows I put qwerty as my keyboard layout and used the Alt+number shortcuts for accents because that was less painful than using azerty… Those shortcuts didn’t work anymore when I switched to linux so I had to find a real solution, which ended up being a colemak base which I modified to add accented letters. I don’t like bepo, it moves z x c v and I like them being in the same place as in qwerty for the shortcuts I’m used to, and I didn’t know qwerty-fr existed at the time 😅

Do you have worse for your language?

Bonjour le #introduction !

Je traine sur le fediverse depuis 2017 où je m'autoradicalise à vos côtés. Je souhaite la fin du 🔥 capitalisme avant la fin du monde. J'aime la technologie hors des GAFAM, je suis fan de #gentoo et d' #alpine #linux . J'aimerai que chacun puisse s'auto-héberger et j'ai développé une obsession pour les ⌨️ #claviers (mais je me soigne par injection de radinerie).

Je passe mon temps à mater des 🎬 films et il me tarde le beau temps pour aller faire des promenades en 🚲 #vélo et je fais un peu d' 🧗‍♂️ #escalade.

Je tiens un blog 🔗 que je spam de temps à autre pour éviter de me répéter. Je co-administre également l'instance :craftopiart: Craftopi.art ainsi que le réseau irc Geeknode où vous pourrez me retrouver. :-)

My latest blog post: Next Trains

https://mikecoats.com/next-trains/

My two-year-old loves trains so any time we can swing past the station and see them is worth the detour. This web app displays the next few arrivals and departures to help us schedule a visit. It's also my first time publishing code as a package on PyPI.

Reposting my #introduction, since I'm seeing a lot of fresh faces recently. I'm an associate professor at UMass Amherst, where I teach about #journalism and #MediaIndustries. My research focuses on media distribution and, occasionally, dysfunction in the adtech industry.

I also co-edit a book series on the civic impacts of media distribution for The MIT Press. Feel free to hit me up if you're working on a relevant project!

What command do you prefer for switching to root?

Edit: I realize now that I forgot a looot of options. So many ways to switch to a root shell. If only I could add more options to a mastodon poll in an edit...

#linux #unix #sysadmin #sudo

40% sudo su
42% sudo -i
8% su root
10% I use doas instead

- réfléchit aux outils libres... qui libèrent ! notamment autour de la #décentralisation et du #smallweb #smolweb
- kiffe la musique du #Mali
- de manière très originale aime la #nature, les #arbres, et développe ses compétences en #permaculture

Hey, I'm looking for resources to get better at Linux administration - preferably servers... I have basic knowledge - even if I use Linux almost every day.

Do you have book / website / video recomendations?

Thanks for the help.
