The inclusion of non-free by default was what was unclear to me from the website. Knowing that now, I’ll likely give Debian a spin next time I need an install.
This is why I stopped using rss. I fucking hate seeing an headline I’m interested in, clicking to expand and then having to click through to the site to read the article, dismiss the goddam email list overlay, fight with the stupid paywall, and then close the tab out of frustration.
I miss the days of actually reading articles in my rss feed reader.
Ubuntu LTS, with all my services in Docker containers.
I know Ubuntu gets a lot of (deserved) hate for some of the shit Canonical pulls, but for now, I like Ubuntu and it works for me.
When I rebuilt my server at the beginning of the month, I was gonna jump to Debian, but my god the Debian website is obtuse. After looking at the site and trying to determine what to download to get Debian with non-free (I’m unfortunately working with an NVIDIA card), I decided to go with Ubuntu. I needed a smooth rebuild process and with Ubuntu I know exactly what I’ll get when I download the LTS server.
That’s what I’m finding. I’m not certain I need regex for what I want to accomplish with find. I’m reorganizing my media libraries, and I have a mix of mp4 and mkv files. I want to be able to find all mkv and mp4 files and move them using regex like '.+\.(mp4|mkv)'
I have learned how to use find with -exec and -delete, but I haven’t gotten to -print0 or xargs yet.
I’ve never used git to publish/make myself a repo before. That’s something I’ve been meaning to learn but haven’t quite gotten there yet. However, with the amount of tinkering, and breaking I’ve been doing, I think I’ll move it up on my priority list.
I’ve also got shell scripts I’ve been writing and tinkering with and having proper version control (versus script, script.copy, script.copy.bak…) would also be nice.
Nice anaolgy!
