While I find that I agree with his takes like, 55% of the time, I do agree that Debian and Arch are basically the S-tier distros. So many of the other ones are basically just opinionated Debian or Arch, and while those can be useful when you’re getting started, I’ve found that for the long haul you’re better off just figuring out how to configure the base distribution with the elements of the opinionated ones that you like rather than use those distros themselves. Also, RIP CentOS. I would have put that in a high tier before the RHELmageddon (not top tier mind you, but it had a well defined use case and was great for that purpose).

It depends if you're using them all. Systems where I have lots of applications installed (especially graphical ones) will have lots of packages, my bare-minimum container hosts will have few. I think there's also an element of selection bias here, because people posting screenshots of neofetch on their system are also likely to be people who intentionally run very minimal systems focussed on minimizing the number of packages so they can brag about it on the internet.

TL;DR - the right number of packages to have is as many as are required for your computer to do what you need it to do, and not too many more than that.

Something I've found very helpful is time tracking. I have an app on my phone that is always running a timer where I input a task and a project (basically a category for the task). What this has forced me to do is to consciously decide when I'm doing a thing, and it acts as a kind of lightning rod for my attention. When I start a new task, I need to decide that is what I'm going to do and put it into the app, and if I find myself drifting from the task I must either stay focussed or decide that I'm not able to focus on the current task and instead focus on what is distracting me. It helps me remind myself that "now is the time for X, not for Y."

The thing with cats is that they just kinda know themselves and offer you the deal of “yeah these are the three nice things I like to do and the three annoying things I like to do and if that jives with you, we’ll work. Otherwise, I guess just let me back outside and I’ll go back to eating birds and shit.” So every cat owner is like “yeah sure he vomits in my shoes every 2-3 days so I just turn them upside down when I take them off but he likes to sleep on the couch beside me when I watch TV and that’s our special time, you don’t really need to get it.”

You can create sudoers rules that allow users to run specific commands with root privileges.

Create a file in /etc/sudoers.d with the contents:

zabbix ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/zfs status

This will grant the zabbix user the ability to run /sbin/zfs status as root without a password. However, they will need to run the command with sudo. If you want to allow that user to run additional commands, just add them to the end of that line like this:

zabbix ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWORD: /sbin/zfs status, /sbin/zpool status

We are in contact with the team there to understand why this incident occurred.

I can tell you right now why this incident occurred, it’s because of all the rats.

So two things about this:

1. Tailscale doesn’t actually route through Tailscale’s servers, it just uses its servers to establish a direct connection between your nodes. You can use Headscale and monitor the traffic on the client and server sides to confirm this is the case. Headscale is just a FOSS implementation of that handshake server, and you point the Tailscale client there instead.

2. Doesn’t renting a $3 VPS and routing your traffic through that expose many of the same vulnerabilities regarding a 3rd party potentially having access to your VPN traffic, namely the VPS provider?

For what it’s worth, I generally think that the Headscale route is the most privacy- and data-sovereignty-preserving route, but I do think it’s worth differentiating between Tailscale and something like Nord or whatever, where the traffic is actually routed through the provider’s servers versus Tailscale where the traffic remains on your infrastructure.

Oh my god thank you so much you’re a hero to the people

Does anyone know where you can get a copy of this game online? I’d happily buy it but I can’t find it online anywhere.

This is very exciting, I’ve felt that SQLite has held back the performance of the *arrs for a long time so I’m excited to see this.

Love the app, congrats on getting out of beta! You’ve done some great work in a very short time.
