GustavoM , 20 hours ago to linux in What is something you want to use, yet are NOT using?

Anything beyond setting up a network-wide dns blocker on docker, so… crowdsec, fail2ban, some proxy-related stuff, zero trust tunnelers and so on.

Why? Because its overkill to my current setup and I don’t see myself using em for real other than for learning purposes, and thats it.

And before someone asks “Do you protect your server at all?”. Other than making some “hacky” stuff with my internet so all ports appear as closed whilst they actually aren’t? Eh, not really. Still, my server is about to reach a year of running nonstop 24/7 and it has never been hacked a single time since then, so naaaw.

GustavoM , 1 day ago to linux in Hyprland is now fully independent!

Mostly because the “reddit mentality” has already established in this community, where the downvote exists solely as a self-validation/“dopamine fix” feature rather than flagging a post as bad and irrelevant.

GustavoM , 2 days ago to linux in This is why people should stop recommending Arch. Fedora or Opensuse TW should be recommended instead for new people.

Eh, archinstall is a thing nowadays – there is nothing to “learn” on arch anymore.

Nice job on not adding nothing relevant other than “(Folks that doesn’t like the same stuff as I do) are (buzzwords).” – you are not better than em.

GustavoM , 2 days ago to linux in what exactly am I doing adding deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid main to my etc/apt/sources.list? trying to install newest yt-dlp on debian 12.6

Eh, it’s a tradeoff that I get in exchange of a longer microsd lifespan. Which I’m completely fine with.

GustavoM , 2 days ago to linux in what exactly am I doing adding deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid main to my etc/apt/sources.list? trying to install newest yt-dlp on debian 12.6

Apparently pipx dislikes tmpfs partitions, so nah.

Just install it via pip and then symlink its binary file to /usr/bin.

t. Am running a live stream 24/7 on my orange pi zero 3 (via ffplay/yt-dlp) since forever.

“Why not simply add $HOME/.local/bin to $PATH?”

Because it breaks things. While symlinking it does not.

“Why?”

No idea, honestly.

Also, you can take a step further and make a tmpfs partition @ $HOME/.local and then add the following line to your .bash_profile file: TMPDIR=$HOME/.local pip install --break-system-packages -I --no-input yt-dlp &&.

It’s like kissing that ugly girl in a party nobody wants to partake with – it’s useless and completely unnecessary… but oh boy it sure is fun!

Even a fish can act like a dog if you try harder enough.

GustavoM , 6 days ago to linux in What's on your "Everyday Carry" USB stick?

Eh…

Ventoy (on a comically small external hd – 8 GiB) and retrogaming/backup-related files on a 1 TB one.

GustavoM , 6 days ago to linux in Sell us on your favorite exotic/niche distro

Dietpi for me. It is meant for sbc’s, but it can (also) be installed on x86 pcs. And its focus is on minimalism – as much as possible.

GustavoM , 9 days ago to retrogaming in Final Fight MD Dev Working On 'Driftin' Rage', A New 16-Bit Racer For Mega Drive/Genesis | Time Extension

For a second I thought it was “Road rash but with cars” until I realized that isn’t possible at all – specially on the sega genesis.

Looks comfy.

GustavoM , 9 days ago to linux in Firefox enables user tracking

I’ve no idea, honestly. Does it gives me more free time to worry about more important stuff however that will (very likely) not be changed over time by money-hungry developers with false promises of unachievable anonymity and/or privacy in their applications? That I can guarantee a reasonable YES.

GustavoM , 9 days ago to linux in Trying to rescue a 1GB RAM laptop

Use Dietpi as your main distro, do a minimal install, install sway and then your usual stuff.

t. Got a orange pi zero 3 w/ 1GiB of ram, did exactly as my suggestion implies and everything works as intended.
