I’m hosting most of my homelab off one m910q I got off eBay, with a 128gb M.2 SSD I bought separately. $55usd total. It handles around 15 services (including DNS and *Arrs) pretty well. Using a separate NAS for the actual storage and Plex streaming.
Are those custom 3d printed rack mounts for the ThinkCentres? Got an STL to share? I’d love to print rack mounts for mine (m910q)
I have the same but it’s called “please”
Maybe controversial, but the fish shell. I know it’s not strictly bash syntax, but the OOTB features are just so user-friendly. The most helpful features for learning: the autocomplete (with descriptions of subcommands and flags!) and the fuzzy history search.
I write bash scripts all the time, and am significantly more knowledgeable than anyone else on my team (admittedly frontend) because I got comfortable in fish.
Oh hey, you’re totally right, that’s crazy. I use Beeper (hosted matrix setup) to aggregate my chats and I guess I’ve always been using that to search across all servers without realizing. Fully thought the DM search would also search across servers.
DMs are definitely also another case though - you can’t easily DM people on another server if that requires you to log into another server.
That’s still not a solution. That entails non unified communication, access, and search. Making it easy to log in to others still doesn’t solve easy sharing between others. Also oauth2 is a pain to set up, and many people hosting their own instance aren’t going to bother.
You could’ve made music out of ejecting/retracting those all at different times!
Would’ve actually been fantastic distributed systems practice, synchronizing all of those to tight tolerances of music across a network connection…
Another really helpful tool is to use the fish shell instead of bash. It has tons of useful features, but my favorite is by far the autocomplete. It parses man pages to provide suggestions for flags, subcommands, even passed arguments, and each item in the results list has a description, and it’s all searchable by hitting shift+tab.
That’s what leveled up my cli game from 0-100. It’s a massive difference in usability and discoverability. And unlike things like nushell, it’s close enough to bash that you won’t feel confused if you have to use bash instead.
I had that on a physical machine! It broke hardcore lol I had to reinstall the OS after trying to update
My best recommendation is a good git GUI. I really like Gitkraken (proprietary & freemium unfortunately, but a pretty generous free plan). I’m now more advanced than many of my coworkers because it helped me form an intuitive understanding of git.
What do people have against the Mach kernel?
Favorite terminal? iTerm2 on mac, hands-down. Wish they would port it to Linux.
On Linux though, I usually end up using guake, as I like having easy drop-down global access to my terminal.
This made me go down a rabbit hole of server names and I now have a super long list of names from mostly Greek mythology that I’m going to use next time I have a chance
Yeah but it’s awful, and can only install UWP apps which are just plain bad
If you’re asking why there isn’t one shipped with JS, the answer is because JS is built for the web, and the “don’t break the web” rule makes changing things in JS hard, as well as browser devs pushing back hard on anything that increases install size.
If you’re asking why as a community, we haven’t agreed on a single package to be a stdlib - lodash.
