you can configure mako to not show notifications and it will keep a history of them as well. not to discredit your project but makes me wonder if something like this can be built with some bash scripting :)
Yes, I killed the parent process. Also after killing the process with firefox PID, the file equivalent to that process /proc/PID was still there. I think it could be - “likely I/O or driver related” or “stuck in a syscall waiting on some kind of I/O operation that isn’t timing out/is bugged out/can never complete”.
Stow is very useful, but a bit unknown. Hard to explain in a Lemmy post, but basically it helps you manage symlinks between your git repo directory and your $HOME.
You can “install” and “uninstall” configs by managing the symlinks with stow.
Did you literally type kill -9 firefox? Because the kill command normally takes PIDs not process names. killall takes process names, but process names are not always straightforward. Under normal circumstances firefox would exit when X/Wayland goes away though.
kill takes a process ID (i.e. a number) not a process name. Either find the right PID with ps first or use killall, although be aware that killall does exactly what it says: kills all processes matching the string it is given. If you only want to kill one of several Firefox processes that isn't what you want.
Stuck in kernel code, possibly because they tripped an assert. Even if not, if your distribution enabled hung task detection, the kernel will log backtraces for these processes eventually; by default, after 2 minutes of being stuck.
I used to have a git repo on Github for my dotfiles but I took it down when I realized that there are some config files I don’t want public like my newsboat links or API keys on my ~/.bashrc. Now I just sync it encrypted to some file storage but I may put it on my private git server instead where password-store lives.
If you are begining in Docker/Podman, you can try take some course from red hat like DO188, if you don’t want fork money, Red Hat with Dan Walsh offer free books developers.redhat.com/e-books/podman-action
It will be beneficial for us, developer, and Dan Walsh, Brent Baude, are mostly replying in #podman libera.chat. Well you can ask here tho, I think it’s okay.
I just hope /r/podman in reddit moved here, and being federated…
I’m not as fancy as using git. I have a folder with all my config files, and it’s not a lot, in Nextcloud. When I’m on a new install, I sync my Nextcloud account then create symlinks to the files in the folder. So far no issues. I just keep track of where each simlink needs to go.
But I use it for share my dotfiles between my home and my work computer. For distro hopping only, I have my /home mounted in a secondary HD, so it’s never formatted.
For the config files in other paths, I keep a log of everything I changed in Dropbox and then I redo. I admit that this may not be the best solution, but the others works good.
