  • Which Linux tool or command is surprisingly simple, powerful, and yet underrated?"

  • Executing a command, capturing all terminal formatting and escape codes so I can do some light manipulation on leading whitespace before dumping it back to the terminal.

  • Tmux was purpose built for terminal multiplexing. You can assign session names for organizing and manipulating multiple instances. Send keys to and read output from detached sessions. It's easy to script.

  • I'd recommend tmux for that particular use. Screen has a lot of extras that are interesting but don't really follow the GNU mentality of "do one thing and do it well."

  • +1 to caddy. There are some services that set safe headers following the recommendations outlined by Mozilla but others don't control headers as strictly. Caddy is the only web server that I found that supports loose default header values. These values will be selected unless the upstream application specifies their own values.

    You can do something similar in nginx but it requires playing with maps and has a little more indirection than I'd like.

    Just wish caddy was capable of starting as root and stepping down permissions like Nginx. I have certs being managed by other tools and have to make sure they are installed and chowned for caddy's use when they are cycled.

  • I assumed from the start that they were purposefully holding back promo codes, or scraping them from users and holding the affected sites ransom (in a sense). "We'll stop serving this cupon if you become a member." Scummy, but ultimately still slightly beneficial to the end user, a Robbin Hood crime. (Ignoring the people who work with genuinely good companies to get discount codes for things like student projects. Unrecognized casualties.)

    It's the affiliate link stealing that's become the source of outcry. That was more stealthy and essentially flipped the script. Now everyone publicly in support of it is being burned.

    If you were never involved in it, it really is just funny to see how quickly a corporate Robin Hood figure can flip sides. It's not like we haven't seen numerous examples before, some of them literally taking the namesake.

  • Ripping my hair out over this, how do I make Wireguard in Docker work?

    Jump

  • Yeah, that thing is honestly impressive. If I didn't already have a full network manager wg setup I'd just use that.

  • Reformatting that compose for people:

    Sounds like you didn't read the extended manual: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-wireguard

    There are a lot of other configs for that container that must be provided before startup. It's just a generic runner. If you want it to run as a server you need to follow this section: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-wireguard?tab=readme-ov-file#server-mode

    Are you at getting the handshake in the app? If so, you're probably just missing the dispatch commands for traffic masquerading.

  • GitHub - ad-on-is/stowman: stowman.sh lets you easily manage your dotfiles using git and GNU stow.

    Jump

  • Yeah, there are a lot of bells and whistles and a fundamental difference between the way they intend to manage dotfiles and the way stow does. Makes it difficult to get started.

    One thing that helped me when I was first getting into it: Chezmoi doesn't like compartmentalization like stow. It supports it, but it want's you to lean into the config langue a bit before you start doing that.

    If you do that you can get away with only touching the add, cd, and update commands.

  • I liked stow, and used it for quite some time. That being said, it has issues. Issues community members have attempted to solve. Issues the sole maintainer wasn't addressing for quite a few years.

    I use chezmoi now. I've still got mixed feelings, but the templating system is neat. Stow seems to have gotten out of it's slump while I was gone. That's good news! Anyone know if they addressed the tree specific folding/unfolding config feature? Not seeing anything in the docs...

  • I would say "take notes", but I know how underfunded your schools are

    Jump

  • Well, I won't lie. It's difficult.

    Ideally you'd know this person and interact with them somewhat regularly. If it's online or this person believes they can ignore you without consequence then it won't matter how you address them beyond that initial interaction.

    Don't use that as an excuse to feed into their believes though. There's a chance someone they know is already trying to coax them back to reality. If anything in that interaction makes them feel justified, it'll take 20x the effort to undo the mental hoops they'll jump through to rationalize the rest of their feelings.

    It sucks. It's not fair to those impacted, but this is the only way to stop this radicalization and hardheadedness that plagues people nowadays.

  • Dude, that doesn't help either

  • I have to do it all the time. I was born and raised in the south by (relatively) liberal parents. I recognize that some of my neighbors my not be up to the standards of the rest of the country, but (I can't believe I have to say this out loud) we shouldn't ostracize a geographic region of people because of social issues.

    Social reform isn't achieved by running up to someone and saying "You're an uninformed idiot from a flyover state and what you believe is incorrect." It's achieved by saying, "I know you don't really mean that" when someone says some weird shit and calling them out in a more neutral environment. Unfortunately you have to convince people to be better. It's too easy to just close yourself off and decline into your own beliefs.

  • How to self-host all of Bluesky except the AppView (for now)

    Jump

  • Well, that diagram brings up an interesting point. In fediverse if the host dies the federated content can still live on (theoretically, I haven't checked to see if they cull content from dead hosts) but ATProto would dictate that the host is missing and therefore all content associated with the host is now immediately 404.
