Any chance you’d be willing to share playbooks or point me toward any resources you used?
I use Ansible to manage config across all my workstations/servers but I haven’t gotten around to automating log shipping yet or aggregating system metrics.
The five node limit is a dealbreaker for me too. I’m also annoyed the free version doesn’t have any real built in options to secure data by default. I followed a TechnoTim tutorial to get the NetData/Prometheus/Grafana stuff setup but it was too limited and required too much manual effort.
I learned to write scripts on Windows Powershell and got spoiled by everything being an object so when I started writing bash scripts I think 90% of the work is trying to parse the raw text output of commands with things like awk or sed.
I have yet to have any success with Bottles but I assume it’s because I don’t know what I’m doing and I’m trying with software known to be difficult.
I remote into a Windows PC for Fusion 360 and Affinity suite but if I could get those working on Linux I’d be in really good shape.
I’ve not tried GPT4ALL but Ollama combined with Open WebUI is really great for selfhosted LLMs and can run with podman. I’m running Bazzite too and this is what I do.
I see there is an m.2 slot too with what looks to be a Kingston SSD.
I’m still confused what era this laptop is from. It might be a SATA m.2.
Wayland was subject to “first mover disadvantage” for a long time. Why be the first to switch and have to solve all the problems? Instead be last and everyone else will do the hard work for you.
But without big players moving to it those issues never get fixed. And users rightly should not be forced to migrate to a broken system that isn’t ready. People just want a system that works right?
Eventually someone had to decide it was ‘good enough’ and try an industry wide push to move away from a hybrid approach that wastes developer time and confuses users.
Can someone please validate my decision to pay $23 a year for this dumb corndog.social domain just so I had something fun for my Lemmy instance.
I’ve had exactly this happen to me. It was my own fault but it took a bit of work figure out.
Look upon what thou has twat and ponder it.
Unironically Powershell is great and learning it has propelled me through the last 12 years of my career as a Sysadmin. My biggest complaints with it are generally Windows complaints or due to legacy powershell modules.
No need to optimize when you can just push people to upgrade their hardware more frequently so you make fat stacks of cash from OEM’s.
I’ve been using ZFS now for a few years for all my data drives/pools but I haven’t gotten brave enough to boot from it yet. Snapshotting a system drive would be really handy.
I thought it was just a meme.
I see way more complaints about ‘elitist Arch users’ than I ever do comments from actual elitist Arch users.
They also specifically warn that it’s not optimized for a VM right now. It’s still not quite ready on bare metal, but less so in a VM.
Bazzite has finally got me to pay attention to Fedora derivatives again for the first time in like 15 years.
At one point I triple booted my laptop with Ubuntu, Windows 7 and OSX mostly just to prove I could. Weird times, a lot has changed since then.
I use Ansible playbooks to keep my config in sync. It’s great but there is a bit of a learning curve. Makes it easy to deploy config changes.
Zsh on workstations. Bash on servers.
What I haven’t figured out is this…
If we’re all going to LLMs instead of asking each other for help (or providing help to others), then how do the models learn new things? Aren’t we no longer generating the same volume of consumable data?
I suppose we can provide feedback to the models to tell them if their solution worked, but I can’t tell if that sort of feedback is more useful than just crawling forums.
