Am I the only one who thinks #suckless software actually sucks ... *more*?

Of course not more than the bloated crap suckless people hate so much, but more than some other lean and simple projects that did *not* dump the concept of "runtime #configuration"? 🤔

It's amazing how much I actually enjoy reading their thoughts on philosophy and related topics about software architecture and design. I just think runtime configuration is an *essential* feature of any non-trivial software. 🤷

Je ne savais pas jusqu'à aujourd'hui qu'on pouvait se faire un fichier de configuration .ssh pour ne pas avoir à taper les noms des machines etd es utilisateurs dans ssh. C'est cool! (mais je ne vais pas mettre ça dans Ansible) https://linuxize.com/post/using-the-ssh-config-file/ #ssh #astuce #configuration
Using the SSH Config File

OpenSSH allows you to set up a per-user configuration file where you can store different SSH options for each remote machine you connect to. This article covers the basics of the SSH client configuration file and explains some of the most common configuration options.

Stupid #Linux / #Unix question - honest answers please!  

Why not shove all configuration files in a git?

  • Obviously not the ones that actually matter like id_rsa and/or some other private keys / certificates...

But like regular #SystemConfiguration files.

  • In all seriousness noone should actually do this with a public git but then again noone puts their Ansible public either.

What did I miss with my train of thought, folks?

My screen resolution can do as far as 4096x2160, with both Windows and Linux, recommending I use 3840x2160. I usually like my screen around 1920x1200, but something has changed with the drivers or something, because at that setting I end up with two black bars on the left and right of my screen, making it narrow. So I now usually keep it around 1920x1080.

That said, not everyone is using a large Toshiba TV in their living room (which doubles as my work room), and so I took the time to make sure this document could be readable at 1024x768.

How I like to install NixOS (declaratively)

For one of my network storage PC builds, I was looking for an alternative to Flatcar Container Linux and tried out NixOS again (after an almost 10 year break). There are many ways to install NixOS, and in this article I will outline how I like to install NixOS on physical hardware or virtual machines: over the network and fully declaratively.
