  • How to remove a stuck nut from old hand saw

    Jump

  • This reply is the closest thing to good advice in this thread.

    The only thing that's going to get that out without cutting a slot is a tack weld. Which will likely burn the wood. Just cut a slot. You can find another aged carriage bolt to replace it.

  • Tuvix - Self-Hosted RSS Aggregator

    Jump

  • lol I started to reply, suggesting a recommendation feature to help find non-algorithmic tech feeds but then realized that's exactly how all this started.

  • Tuvix - Self-Hosted RSS Aggregator

    Jump

  • While I support the idea of using RSS readers to break free from algorithmic and/or AI curated feeds, I've mostly stopped bothering, since all the content that gets into the feeds has become algorithmic, AI slop.

    There's just no escaping it these days.

  • ... documentation... released soon

    On a project geared specifically toward helping the ignorant, documentation and admin guides are probably more important than code releases.

    Non technical people will want to see and understand the process before they have to do the process, so don't really on simple wizards to be your breakthrough to the masses.

    Jump

  • yup, I even commented on the previous thread.

    I'll take a look at this safebox out of curiosity, but as I said in the previous thread, assuming this even meets OP's goal, I expect the project to be another abandoned GitHub repo once the constant security maintenance cycles hit.

    I'm generally of the opinion that OP's target could be better met with well designed and well maintained walkthroughs of the most common use cases. There's a ton of documentation and tutorials out there, but they're all either terrible or unmaintained. A system that cross-linked and branched for the various up to date use cases like a choose-your-own-adventure book would be super.

  • lol Nix as the beginner friendly choice?

    "very simple RAID?"

    For someone who hasn't even seen a command line before? Who doesn't know what a RAID is? That's the target audience here.

    You're entirely missing OP's point here. You've reduced maintenance complexity, but increased the typical learning curve to get started.

  • Would you?

  • Termix 1.8.0 has been released.

    Jump

  • missing a way to find out what they do without installing them

    At the very top of the project page it says:

    Termix is a web-based server management platform with SSH terminal, tunneling, and file editing capabilities.

    Now you know what it does without installing it

    Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users?

    Jump

  • You're confusing a lack of handholding with gatekeeping.

    beginner friendly solution, something with a UI, fewer manual configs...

    First, you're not entirely right. you can get a ton of self hosting done with things like Synology or Home assistant, and never see the complexity. You might get owned by a botnet, but it "works."

    Self hosting securely has a steep learning curve, there's no way around that. What you're asking for is for someone to write programs that'll let you skip the learning curve.

    GitHub is littered with abandoned attempts at doing this. You bury your lede by mentioning "your project" at the end. It's your project going to be another well intentioned attempt that's eventually abandoned or causes more problems than it solves?

  • The PowerShell Manifesto Radicalized Me

    Jump

  • in Powershell, yes. the cmdlet naming convention is Verb-CamelCase.

    Only specific verbs are allowed as well. It works if the convention is broken, but it'll complain when you import them as a module.

  • it does not.

    .gov.fr. is a subdomain of .fr., unrelated to .gov..

  • SearXNG doesn't load the settings ...

    Jump

  • At some point you had to learn all about debugging the overly-complicated and annoying OS that runs your full installs, didn't you?

  • SearXNG doesn't load the settings ...

    Jump

  • per the searxng container instructions:

    Understanding container architecture basics is essential for properly maintaining your SearXNG instance. This guide assumes familiarity with container concepts and provides deployment steps at a high level.

    The fact that you're logging into your container to manually edit your config hints that you need to read more about managing containers.

    Make sure you're editing the file that you're mounting on the host, and edit it from the host.

    Have you checked the actual log with podman logs? It'll tell you what it's doing about its config.

  • Its all bots, isn't it?

  • Do you leave your paddock stand spools on your bike or take 'em off?

    Jump

  • you're just seeing bikes that either aren't self maintained or whose owners use the platform style stands. no one is uninstalling their spools.

  • Everytime I try to start something with Linux I fail.

    Jump

  • Docker won't make much sense if you don't understand the underlying Linux systems and/or applications.

    It's similar with Wine and Bottles. If you don't get what's in the bottle, then running the bottle won't make sense.

    Find tasks that run on the native OS. learn to manage Linux itself. skip containers, Snap, virtual machines, etc.

    try running a web server using httpd or something.

  • Tape drive backups

    Jump

  • Why do tape drives seen to be best? What's your use case? They're still used in enterprise environments because they're insanely dense compared to hard disks, and it's real easy to load a truck with a few petabytes to ship elsewhere. Is that what you need? Density? Seems like not for just a few gigs.

    If you want backups you need to ship your media, tapes or otherwise, off-site.

    Pop your files into a cloud service and call it done. If you're looking for long term archives and don't want to use other people's computers, burn some DVDs and store them at someone else's house.

  • Which would give me more opportunities, studying devops or networks?

    Jump

  • Devops will have more job openings, network will have a higher salary, especially as you become more senior.

    Devops people who don't know networking and/or general traditional sysadmin work are a crushing pain in the ass for those of us who have to support them though. Networking background will make you better at devops, but not necessarily vice versa.
