mariom , 7 months ago to linux in what caused you to get into Linux?

Same here. Curiosity which changed in time to my work.

I even was using win10 + wsl in company, but after time of adding crapware + forced win11 update (downgrade) I just said “gimme Linux laptop”. Gave up totally, useless for me

On personal hardware - Linux is first choice, omly gaming pc is Windows based.

And it could be that corporate bloatware is breaking it. I know, and I wasted some time looking if it’s possible to use S3 state (nope, it’s not on hardware I got -,-)

Have it on work laptop… It wakes laptop for random things, if I put it in backpack I can find empty battery in the morning… Nope, s0ix does not work at all on windows anyway.

Do we need constant change?

In that way PiS did A LOT as they changed (without bigger thought) personal tax system making year with changes like a ride on roller coaster. I just prefer “not doing shit” then. But PO did a lot of things during their time, and most important - the state of economy was good.

Also they did few unpopular decisions and, even being young (so most affected) - change of retirement age was really good and still needed. We’re aging society, we live longer than current age was set, etc.

Or just launch second profile… Firefox / chrome(ium) supports it. No need to use different browser.

mariom , 9 months ago to linux in Why do you use firefox?

It’s not chrome / chrome-based. We need to have any choice. As Chrome is very, very loved by corporations, and Firefox hated… it means that for personal use it’s the best browser available.

mariom , 9 months ago to linux in What is your favorite terminal emulator.

Tested dozen recently… And nothing was so much better to change the default one of KDE.

Used to urxvt (when I was using tilling vm on desktop pc). Used gnome-terminal when I was on cinnamon. I switched to KDE year or so ago and I’m using Konsole. It really does not matter that much, I only need tab support and 256 colors.

mariom , 9 months ago to selfhosted in What's your preference for a text chat server (e.g. IRC/XMPP/Matrix/Zulip/etc.)?

Place where you have most of your friends…

Used to xmpp, but it died naturally over the time and someday I just stopped my prosody server. Nowadays - a bit of IRC (few friends still are there) and discord (not selfhosted, but from all the alternatives… feels best).

mariom , 10 months ago to programmerhumor in Very unpopular opinion I think

Funny how many people are joking around those weird activities for some of the meetings like stickers, 2 truths 1 lie, etc etc etc. And we still do it.

According cameras - it’s easier, but in my team we never forced anyone.

With a lot of overreactions this gonna be hard this time.

By overreaction I mean f.e. closing forests in my country.

mariom , 10 months ago to selfhosted in Self-hosted GitHub alternative?

Forgejo. Gitlab will be overkill probably.

mariom , 11 months ago to linux in How do you all go about backing up your data, on Linux?

Is it just me or the backup topic is recurring each few days on !linux and !selfhosted?

To be on topic as well - I use restic+autorestic combo. Pretty simple, I made repo with small script to generate config for different machines and that’s it. Storing between machines and b2.

mariom , 11 months ago to linux in How do you keep track of all apps you install and their configurations?

On my GitHub repo. Needs to be customized, but you should get the idea.

Maybe there is a way to write it better, I’m no makefile expert ;)

mariom , 11 months ago to linux in What terminal file manager that you use, if any?

Coreutils, rsync. In more complex scenarios zmv from zsh.

Yes, I almost not use any GUI to manage my files.

mariom , 11 months ago to linux in How do you keep track of all apps you install and their configurations?

+1, essential ones I keep in GitHub repository (like zsh, tmux, xdefaults configs with no personal data). With makefile that makes symlinks. This is the easiest way to sync zsh config between my personal and work machines.

Rest is just in a backup.
