Well written, and I learned a few things from this story. I recently started a cloud of my own with 4 20TiB HDDs in a raid 5 configuration so this story felt very prescient to me. Makes me very grateful for the simplicity of Cockpit and LUKS2… my setup felt so trivial to configure!

That is good but only shows the last 10-15 lines of the log, unless there is an arg to expand that, or a command to follow the log. I am aware of neither.

I usually use your suggested command to check if a service is up, then if it isn’t, use journalctl to find out why.

Say city.

tbh my go to command is just… journalctl -fe -u service

ex :
journalctl -fe -u jellyfin
journalctl -fe -u nordvpnd

so I’d also like to know the answer to this question. my other go to is dumping journalctl to text files and parsing with grep and awk and creating my own reports with that parsed information.

grep -E is my favorite, I love regex capturing groups.

You’re right, ha, I’m totally not… they, I mean they are totally not! You got it guy! Everyone listen to this guy! I’d go as far as to say anyone reading this article is innocent of ALL crimes!

I don’t know this command, about to test it out.

I always use 0 and $, then W and B to leapfrog words manually 💀

Thanks!

How could I live without dd, vap, 99j, 99k, 555gg, zt, zz, zb, [, ]?

If these were the only vim commands it would still be better than Nano.

It’s interesting that a “level-headed” comment is one in which bringing up the murder of a US president’s rival is not an unexpected topic.

If that is the new threshold for level-headed then this world has gone insane.

Random guess, it grants some sort of overreaching privilege to some agencies and they are clinging onto that overreaching power?

Anyone got a real answer?

Ahh, you have skinitis, be glad it’s not boneitis.

They will certainly come here, but as a defederated website we don’t have to defend against them with one approach, everyone can take a different approach, see what frustrates them the most, then mass adopt that. I see this as the ideal… no idea how it will unfold in practice.

Lol. I guess it’s hard to tell when you haven’t seen the site change over time but… yeah?

It uses to be “argumentless” discussions on esoteric tech and philosophy issues… then a few years later it was people commenting the same 9 memes for 9,000 comments… then a few years later suddenly everyone’s anecdotes are praising China, or capitalism, or offhandedly mentioning some product or influencer.

Tbh tho, most of Reddit now just reads like Subreddit Simulator. All of the site’s value regarding sincere, unique, and detailed user content… yeah, that’s gone. They’re just coasting on past laurels, will be fun to watch the wheels fall off as the data stays locked in 2023, before the LLM Ouroboros.

Listen to this then tell me what your choice is.

So cool.

Go to a local video game bar and play socially there.

This application looks fine to me.

Clearly labeled sections.

Local on one side, remote on the other

Transfer window on bottom.

No space for anything besides function, is the joke going over my head?

I agree with the comedy image.

The only thing worse than the squalor of addiction is the unearned confidence of people with glasses.

It would be more accurate if you said, “This is not about right and wrong (for me).”

If you say it’s not about right and wrong, dead stop, then you are pledging full faith to the institutions, the very ones we are critiquing.

Basically, you are dismissing my opinion as misguided, dismissing me as missing the point and I am telling you it was expressed exactly as intended.

In short, you are arguing on the wrong conceptual meta-level for me to respond without dismissing my own claim. If I take as True that “this isn’t about right and wrong” (it is), then I am setting aside the power I have in a democratic society to say, “Fuck this I’m changing it.” Maybe we’ve just been stuck in gridlock politics, with a ruling class that strips and monetizes every aspect of humanity that the society today doesn’t realize the power citizens wield.

Not sure. Been fun to think and share thoughts with you though. Thanks for your time and have a nice night.

An impasse is a perfectly acceptable outcome on a sane platform like Lemmy.

It’s a quote of an opinion, so in general I ignore them. I’m usually more interested in distilling ideas constructed with some line of reasoning.

But I guess we can look at this one. Find it’s essence. Tho it doesn’t seem very deep…

“Societies with rule of law are dictatorships. How leaders are selected and the existence of fundamental Constitutional rights is not a factor.”

So in short.

Having laws at all is a dictatorship.

Yeah, that is one of the opinions I’d ignore. It’s easy to have that opinion inside the walls of a lawed society.

Luckily it is valid to respond to an opinion with an opinion, and mine is that I imagine everyone (except the strongest with the most resources) would abandon that perspective as soon as they lived in a world with no laws.

I had nothing to say to that. I agree with it.

One paragraph discusses action, the other discusses philosophy. I only took issue with your regressive philosophy. I’m open to correcting misunderstandings, elaborate if you feel I continue to miss something.
