A bit of a PSA for LG owners running webOS:
I rooted my tv and now have adless youtube, but apparently root is not a prerequisite - there also installation using dev mode. Admitedly, haven't tried it and it's probably less convenient to get it set up, but then it should be a one time thing.
How do you control it? Any fancy integration or just good old mouse?
At least on zsh it would pop both of those as suggestions you can cycle through.
I did not know that! Thank you!
What do you mean by implementations? Is this closer debian vs rhel or more like linux vs bsd?
OpenRC is daemon supervisor (probably not the right name).
OpenRC-init is the init.
By default, on OpenRC installations, the init will be SysV.
I have switched a few boxen to openrc-init and have to report that it works fine.
That is literally the way it works now. As an example - go to https://phtn.app/. Photon is a UI for lemmy. That specific website is hosted by the developer and you can log into any instance. I think Alexandrite and Voyager webapps act the same, but I haven't tried them, so can't be sure atm.
killall -9 processname works well when you can't be asked to get the pid.
kill -9 $$ is my favourite way to save face when I enter something into shell that shouldn't be in its history. Usual situation - switching panes and forgetting a recently used sudo session. Switching to root and getting there without a password prompt, but still typing it in. Wouldn't be helpful in situations where shell history is monitored remotely, but hey ho.
I'm a syaadmin now, but self hosting nextcloud is what got me my first IT job. I now host a bunch of stuff (even email!), lemmy included.
how did you decide that you would like to self-host? I wanted my friends to play a cs1.6 map I had created.
That voice acting! Marvelous!
It's been alright. Bank holiday Monday, wfh tomorrow and Friday. I'll survive :)
dire problems, including those that accumulate over time
That's not a thing. You create problems over time by experimening in what is, effectively, production load. If all you ever did was install any distro and kept it up to date - not much can break. Granted - shit happens, but it's incredibly rare.
As an example - I've set up my mail server in May 2019. Chose archlinux, because I never wanted to go through a big upgrade. The only exta software installed there is mail-server related. Direct from the repos. I've become confident enough that now there's a nightly cronjob to update the system with a hook to reboot if kernel or init gets updated.
In all those 5 a bit years I've had one issue where I hqd to revert a kernel update.
Another example is tang on an ubuntu server. This was at a previous workplace, but essentially it's a piece of software from the repos. Originally installed on 16.04, has gone without reprovisioning all the way to 22.04. I've now left the company, but I hear it's still running.
Upgrading an ubuntu desktop fleet with a myriad of custom software, on the other hand... let's just not talk about it.
This was a bugfix release.
The !general@lemmy.cafe has been reverted to being public as the private switch appears to break notifications.
Due to increased compute demand of lemmy software the VM lemmy.cafe is running on had to become a little beefier. DB VM is still chugging along without changes.
Happy socials!

Look at virtualbox or something for inspiration.
