dil 🎭Never assume that just because a server is Ubuntu or RHEL, that its filesystem is ext4 or XFS.
Always verify with `df -hT` or `lsblk -f` before you start tuning mount options or disk quotas. Assumptions are the fastest way to break a perfectly good configuration (speaking from new experience). A two-second check ensures you are working with the right metadata before you begin the initialisation process.
Verification over guesswork, every time.

bµg#nixos is too complex for me, so I decided to write a 110 lines Python script to help manage a fixed list of packages on #archlinux
It reports inconsistencies between your requested packages list and what's actually on the system.
The list can contain inline comments and group packages.
Basically, a declarative Archlinux packages helper. Anyone interested?
PS : I have a bug to report in pacman and I'm unable to get an account on the gitlab (they didn't reply to my mail).
It's FOSS
MarekA program just crashed on me with a segmentation fault. That reminds me of the "Not planned" closed bug from 2023 in makepkg. makepkg crashes (at least back then) when given an extremely large PKGBUILD as an argument.

(As far as I can tell, it's not particularly catastrophic - just a poor user experience due to a vague error message)
