Bonus when you disable software flow control: In addition to Ctrl+r to reverse search through commands, you can search forward via Ctrl+s

IMO it’s not even about something making sense, we’re just very accustomed to fahrenheit, so it feels more natural to us.

I’ll be the first to admit that I have no idea about what’s warm and cold in Celsius. I know 0 is quite cold, 20 is room temperature, and 100 is near instant death.

I’m with you, but language has a scary amount of influence over how people perceive the world around them.

It’s going to be a sad day when I have to replace my gas oven and stove with electric appliances. There’s something deeply ingrained in humans that draws us to fire.

Using podman-compose, I usually have a section like:

volumes:
    - ./local_folder:/container/folder

Specifically, I have to use either an absolute path or a relative path with “./” to prevent it from treating a directory as a volume name.

Yeah, I’m confused by this video (which is from nearly a year ago, btw). It looks like a gnome shell overview more than anything.

My practical answer: Nah, it’s probably not going to nuke your files.

My software engineer answer: Never trust us to not make a mistake. It doesn’t take much to accidentally nuke a directory.

Seems like a fine feature to me?

Except you have to pay for rewinds. They probably give you one or two freebies, but then you’re screwed if you legitimately made a mistake swiping in the wrong direction.

Agreed, for me containers are really nice for playing with new software without dirtying my host install.

Well good thing I finally realized it wasn’t enabled and set my environment variables to enable it.

I’ve run plain ol’ openbox without a desktop environment on top of it, and it’s quite nice. IIRC I also had a standalone status bar application, but I can’t remember which one I used.

There are a couple utility programs (obconf and obkey?) that help to configure everything comfortably.

Based, mostly

And even then, a properly configured SSHD instance wouldn’t really benefit from a firewall, unless you wanted to block all countries besides your own or something.

Every computer has a bunch of ports (1-65535 if I recall correctly), each of which is a unique entity to which a single service can bind. In layman’s terms, a port is a door that one service is able to answer when someone knocks. By convention, some ports have a specific associated service (80 = HTTP, 443 = HTTPS, 22 = SSH), but there are a lot that you can just use as you deem appropriate.

If you want a service (e.g. a web server) to be accessible, you have to run a service that binds to a known port (e.g. 80), and a client has to reach out to your server on that same port. A firewall sits between your service(s) and any potential clients, much like those steel security screen doors. If that’s closed, nobody gets through on that port, even if a service is bound to that port and is listening for a connection.

As a general rule of thumb, you want your firewall to block as much traffic as possible without breaking something (I.e. blocking one of your public-facing services). If you don’t run any services on your computer (web services, media servers, etc.), you can probably get away with blocking all inbound traffic. without any discernable impact.

We did this for my girlfriend’s dog, and he had uncontrollable diarrhea for a couple days after we added a bit to his usual food.

I’m not saying it won’t work, but your mileage may vary in unexpected ways.

I’m actually almost completely unfamiliar with Nginx, short of a few hours of tinkering. NginxProxyManager is a direct competitor to Caddy, with a graphical interface, SSL cert creation and auto-renew, etc. I’m not going to say to switch from Caddy, since there’s probably no major benefit, but it’s much nicer than trying to figure out Nginx reverse proxies by hand.

I think the problem is that normal consumers wouldn’t ever buy a tape drive, so the only options still being produced are enterprise grade. The tapes are still pretty cheap, but the drives are absurd.
