Big stuff

-euo pipefail now being a posix standard is really awesome, as well as readlink and realpath (didn’t even know these last two were non-standard).

Formating of the configuration content under point 4 seems to have spilled out, you might have to use a triple backtick followed by newline if it’s a multiline code/content.

This.

venv
pip-tools

Specify your primary dependencies in pyproject.toml and use pip-compile to keep stuff locked in requirements.txt to exact versions (or even hashes).
Though after working with cargo a bit, I would love to have all of this in a first-class program, hope uv can get there.

If you exit KDE is the passwd shell of the root user actually changed to /usr/bin/bash ?
Or is it just $kde_terminal_emulator running bash directly instead of respecting the shell selection (and possibly not opening a login shell) ?

Numbers from my instance, running for about a 1 year and with average ~2 MAU. According to some quick db queries there is currently 580 actively subscribed communities (it was probably a lot less before I used the subscribe bot to populate the All tab).

SELECT pg_size_pretty( pg_database_size('lemmy') ): 17 GB

Backblaze B2 (S3) reports average 22.5 GB stored. With everything capped to max 1 USD, I pay cents - no idea how backblaze does it but it’s really super cheap, except for some specific transactions done on the bucket afaik, which pictrs does not seem to do.

According to my zabbix monitoring, two months ago (I don’t keep longer stats) the DB had only about 14G of data, so with this much communities I am getting about 1.5G per month (it’s probably a bit more as I was recently prunning stuff from some dead instances).

Prometheus says whole lemmy service (I use traefik) is getting within about 5 req/s (1m average) though if I go lower it does spike a lot, up to 12 requests within a second then nothing for few.

Attach it to the VM

Is this possible only with the extra, bought storage boxes ? Or is this possible even with the free 100G backup boxes offered with each dedicated machine ? (Or is this just nfs mount?)

We have a dedicated machine in a project from Hetzner with big raided hard disks but the latency is starting creep up on us, moving some of the data off to the faster ssd/san boxes would be rather helpful.

Edit: I’ve reread your post, you are trying to run non-steam games through steam & proton right?

Did you move/symlink compdata out of the NTFS disk?

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows#preventing-ntfs-read-errors

I use ntfs3 (not ntfs-3g driver) with uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000,rw,user,exec,nofail,nocase,windows_names flags and after moving compada out (see the github link) it kind of just works.

Also what is your HW? If you have a laptop with extra dedicated gpu or have PC with cpu with integrated graphics and extra GPU card the games might be trying to run on the wrong GPU.

Graphical applications should definitely do this, it’s rather easy to hit delete accidentally but in CLI? I wanna see a cat type rm and some valid parameters, so if the user typed the whole command out it should probably do just the one exact (destructive) thing.

Run your ip through ip abuse databases to make sure there is nothing wrong perceived from outside.

It hasn’t released yet it seems, october 8. Though HBO does not seem to claim any of the above, I smell another flop.

There is a youtuber for that!
Asianometry has a lot of “documentary”-style videos about microchips, civil engineering and histories of interesting industries (Zweis lenses, ASML, so on).

This happens to me often whenever nvidia (dkms) rebuilds and the module compilation fails (for whatever reason).

Usually I drop into tty ctrl+alt+f2 as root, run dkms autoinstall (or just yay -S <your nvidia package> should trigger dkms rebuild if needed) and then rebuild initramfs ( mkinitcpio -P), reboot.

I’ve once tried WinBTRFS and on top of not making it work I still have leftover drivers that can’t be deleted.

I just use ntfs3 and ever since tweaking steam so that it does not put proton compatdata on it I didn’t have to reboot and run chkdsk for months now.

Wohoo time to hack this old phone of mine. (for the interested, I’ve found CVE-2024-31317 which is easier but should get only system user/uid 1000)

… certain parties violating the old license, by not attributing and stripping my copyright. Packagers being collateral damage was a beneficial side-effect, considering they don’t clearly mark their versions as modified (also a GPL requirement), break functionality, and expect upstream to provide support.

Emphasis mine, snipped from the authors comment

As a maintainer of few AUR packages this is always so hurtful.
Where does this position come from? Packaging is the avenue that people using any linux distro use to get your software. This also my first time hearing that packages (re)building GPL code have to mark the packages as modified in some way. I can understand that being a valid concern (if it is one) but that’s a problem that can be rather easily fixed without throwing all of the maintainers overboard (?).

I can see there being bad maintainers that will come shouting to upstream with every little thing that does not work on their platform, but man that’s just insincere towards maintainers that will dive, analyze and help where they can to make it work.
For every one maintainer coming to your github issues with their problems there is probably shitton of patches and time spent on making your program work with the given distro.
