  • What email client are you guys using?

    Jump

  • Evolution, Thunderbird and KMail, depending on the system. Though I've had only trouble with Thunderbird and gpg signing with a yubikey. The others just work.

    On Android I'm using FairMail.

  • How programmers comment their code

    Jump

  • What a function does should be self evident. Why it does it might not be.

  • xkcd #2954: Bracket Symbols

    Jump

  • Fira Code

  • Is it safe to automatically pull and update docker containers?

    Jump

  • I get a summary once a week of all the updates. I then check the release notes and if nothing needs any changes just run the ansible playbook that updates to those releases. I don't want to get up and first thing in the morning read alert emails because an update failed over night, so i sit down for 10 minutes once a week.

  • What is your favourite shell to use

    Jump

  • Bash, not because its my favourite but because it's nearly ubiquitous. I don't want to have to think about which shell I'm using.

  • what foss phone OS do you use and why?

    Jump

  • Went with lineage since I grew up on cyanogenmod.

  • Need suggestions for VPS

    Jump

  • Contabo is really cheap and has a few datacenters around the world. That low price comes at a cost though, their uptime is not as good as that of other providers. Expect about 3 outages a year, lasting about half an hour, maybe a day in extreme cases.

  • You may want to avoid NVIDIA driver 550 if you're on a laptop

    Jump

  • I'm not sure why they specifically say laptop, and then don't mention what's different to a desktop PC.

    Then you click on the linked NVIDIA article and the first comment says, that it also happens on their desktop.

  • What is/was your distrohopping journey?

    Jump

  • Didn't really hop much, started with Windows, went on to OSX, got annoyed at it and ran Arch in a VM until I was comfortable with it, then went bare-metal with it.

    Happy Arch user for some years now, though recently I'm using Fedora for work and I really like it. It's not a good fit for some machines I'm running which need a lot of customisations to run properly.

  • Meet my new puppy: Ass!

    Jump

  • Maki

  • How old is the oldest building in the town you live in?

    Jump

  • It was built in the early 12th century.

  • Do you encrypt your data drives?

    Jump

  • Always, if nothing else it makes "wiping" them securely easier.

  • Restart Docker Container Without root privileges

    Jump

  • If a user is in the docker group they can also run docker commands.

  • General Advice for shell scripts

    Jump
    • I usually use bash/python/perl if I can be sure that it will be available on all systems I intend to run the scripts. A notable exception for this would be alpine based containers, there it's nearly exclusively #!/bin/sh.
    • Depending on the complexity I will either have a git repository for all random scripts I need and not test them, or a single repo per script with Integrationtests.
    • Depends, if they are specific to my setup, no, otherwise the git repository is public on my git server.
    • Usually no, because the servers are not always under my direct control, so the scripts that are on servers are specific to that server/the server fleet.
    • Regarding your last question in the list: You do you, I personally don't, partly because of my previous point. A lot of servers are "cattle" provisioned and destroyed on a whim. I would have to sync those modifications to all machines to effectively use them, which is not always possible. So I also don't do this on any personal devices, because I don't want to build muscle memory that doesn't apply everywhere.

  • What PCI cards do you use ?

    Jump
    • Second GPU for a VM
    • SATA controller
    • SAS controller
    • SAS Expander

  • Owners of a domain, which domain registrar did you choose and why?

    Jump

  • OVH, reasonably priced, API for DNS management and existing certbot integration

  • Anyone have a working solution for programming Arduino or PIC micros?

    Jump

  • I wrote a small program for the arduino nano 2 years ago, it isn't that fancy, a quickly hacked together led flash animation, but the Makefile works. You really just have to install the dependencies and adapt it for your project and it should work.

  • People using 'less' when they should be using 'fewer'

    Jump 
  •  
        
-bash: fewer: command not found

  • Stop being elitist, spread Linux!

    Jump

  • If someone comes to me I'm more than happy to answer questions and help, but I won't bring it up. People don't like being told that their tool of choice is "bad" "not optimal" or anything like that. Even if it's only their choice because they grew up with it or don't want to learn anything new. And they still need to learn if it's more than browsing the web.

    Also I really don't want to be the one they come running to once something doesn't work the way they expected - or not at all. I don't have the time nor the inclination to be tech support for my family and half of my friends.
