I'm not sure where you get the idea that Linux doesn't have hibernate - there's both userspace systemd-hibernate bindings and also the kernel swsusp which both work equally well (although you may need to make sure you have a

I share the same sentiment. I've had the same Arch install running since ~2016 and have been using Arch since about 2013 and the number of times I've needed to chroot from a live image is under 10 and were mostly related to system

As an early adopter (signed up for the matrix.org riot instance some time in 2016) and someone who has run a homeserver on and off for nearly a decade, my primary issue with Matrix these days is that it still feels like there largely is sta

The book that's really stood out to me is the Kernighan/Pike "The Practice of Programming" as something that steered me in a really good direction when I was first learning to write code. I really wish they'd do a r

But with a containerized app image you can reduce the blast radius of the poorly maintained app compared to running it bare metal on a host with other services. Also you can still maintain base images to patch/try to reduce vulnerabili

Rootkit anti-cheats can still often be bypassed using DMA and external hardware cheats, which are becoming much cheaper and increasingly common. There's still cheaters in Valorant and in Cs2 on faceit, both of which have extremely intr

I view it as Valve is doing me a favor by adding friction towards me installing a rootkit to play video games. There's also been numerous userspace ACs that work well and also run in userspace (EAC, Battleye, etc.) that have been enabl

You can buy a mini pc for >$200 USD that is capable of running most desktop tasks and can also handle server tasks. Good quality integrated graphics APUs are also plentiful and fairly easy to come by these days.

Sorry to hijack this thread to ask - but what is the current state of sliding sync? Does it still require a separate proxy service to enable sliding sync if you're self-hosting a homeserver; or is it upstreamed into synapse? Also is th

"dead simple" really depends on what you're targeting and how. If you're targeting a cloud deployment on hardware you don't control or that's running with multiple instances/replicas, OTEL makes that prett

I don't really know anything about self-hosting Next apps - but if you're deploying to k8s, it's not really that difficult or far-fetched to run an otel collector sidecar for your applications. It's already common to run

That doesn't really mean it's heavyweight though; an extra layer, sure (but I don't even really agree that it's complex - you set it up once and then mostly just log the same way you would with any other). You can still

What specifically is heavyweight about OTEL? At its core it's a standard for producing structured logs along with some standards for exporting/collection. The heaviness is really implementation-specific and can vary stack to stack

> Why can’t logger().info() just work in a sensible way? I think OTEL is pretty sensible for a vendor-free and if you want to have a console logger you can use the console exporter[0] for debug mode during local development. Also if Nex

The Bitnami images and helm charts are just convenient repackaging of things that are already freely (gratis) available. There's nothing stopping you from still deploying Kafka or Redis, etc. into your k8s cluster without using the Bit

Isn't it likely that newer projects licensing under GPL are also unlikely to be using GitHub and instead be using a platform like GitLab or Forgejo (or previously Gitea or something)?

This is basically the modern "google-driven" development experience as well. The copy-pasting from SO trope has existed for some time, but it's much worse in the last 5-7 years with the increase of blogspam/LLM generate

Maybe that's part of the reason why "strider" bikes are becoming a lot more common for toddlers to learn how to ride a bike. They're effectively what the OP describes, a bike with no pedals that you run and then balance

Wasn't the original benefit of Perl that it was fairly close to a standard tool, i.e. it was available on pretty much any server you would be pushing a script to anyways? Raku doesn't seem to have the same ubiquity, while Python i

It might be worth giving another try. The `archinstall` script that's a part of the installation media (even though it's not technically "supported") really makes the process of installing a lot more painless if you know

Out of curiosity, what time investment is required for maintaining an Arch install? I've been using Arch for the past decade and other than the turbulence when switching over to systemd, I don't do anything other than `pacman -Syu
