Hey #linux people, weird question:
How much would I subtly break my system by having one Arch based distro and one Debian based distro both sharing a common /home partition? :taz_laugh:

@npub1dsl…succ Maybe just replace the batteries? Or at least, check if they're the culprit?

@npub1l3g…vu48 do I have one? No. Am I capable of setting up a VPS for you? Absolutely. 32 GB disk, two core, 4 GB RAM sound fine?

Very over-extuberant potato.

@npub1l3g…vu48 it's also one of the first :taz_blep:
Concurrent Versions System (yes, plural) was the first version control to have... Concurrency. RCS (Revision Control) and SCCS (Source Code Control) both locked files on checkout, meaning only one used could work on them. CVS changed from lock-modify-unlock to checkout-modify-merge. It's networking component is... Weird. And intentionally nonatomic to conserve resources.
SVN was "do everything the complete opposite of CVS" and then Git was "do everything the complete opposite of SVN"
I don't really want to call myself an authority on version control systems, but since I am kindla sorta an authority on version control systems, if you want me to explain the weirdness with how all half dozen of the common ones operate, let me know

@npub1l3g…vu48 TL;DR it's the exact branch path.
Your first commit is 1.1 then 1.2, then 1.3, the. 1.4. let's assume now you branch off a different line of changes. That branch is named 1.4.1, and the first commit is 1.4.1.1. the. 1.4.1.2. the. 1.4.1.3. if you made a second branch off 1.4, that's 1.4.2.1. if you branched off 1.4.1.3, that's 1.4.3.1.1.
An odd number of numbers is a branch name. An even number of numbers (x).y is commit number y on branch x.
I hate it.

@npub1l3g…vu48 svn's revision ID is a monotonically increasing int. The first checkin is rev0. After that, rev1. rev2, rev3, and so on.
Unlike how Git used hashes (an idea taken from Monotone), or CVS does... 1.4.1.3.2.1.5.29.2

I cannot even today.
Asserting PTT on the #DigiRig halves my audio drive. I can only push my rig (Kenwood TS-140S) to half power (50W) when PTT is under digi control, if I manually PTT it and tell software not to assert the PTT line then it'll go to full power.
Bonus: I can set the audio levels to near 0, from like 20-100, it doesn't even change the ALC amount. I don't know, man.

@npub1k7q…3lrw As someone who (unfortunately) works for a company that gives you... 10 hour days, 4 days a week, no way to use your provided 15 minute breaks or 30 minute lunch without being behind schedule, no schedule guarantees, you get whatever 4 days they need whenever they want, with vehicles that routinely have 3-7 warning indications on them...
Yeah.

@npub1l3g…vu48 It's a nice idea but it's good to have concrete values on something, like the original geek code, instead of you having to estimate percentages. I could say "g4 b0 u5 a4 s1 r2 n1" but that's also subjective enough as an opinion to not really convey the exact same meanings that I might intend.
#LinuxGeekCode, neat concept, just maybe a touch vague? I don't know, I'm just like, a single opinion here.

To add, and address a separate point:
you're trusting them to not only update their app in the container image, but every underlying utility and library used.
Most projects that I can think of, building container images usually is part of the CI/CD pipeline, and those images usually start their build with a number of apt / dnf / yum / apk / pkg / etc. invocations to pull the libs, meaning that every application update is, within a day or two, an image update, and usually a library update since it's in effect firing up a very lightweight VM, running a bunch of package installations, and then copying its own files in.
Some places even build the app in the container with the libraries to make sure it's all set up correctly for the environment, and then have a second build stage, so you're not holding all the build-time dev dependencies that it needs, but that's getting a bit besides the point.

Like, okay, you *can* (and usually do) build a Docker image from some base OS, but that's really only just to give your program the support it needs to exist. A Docker container is not, fundamentally, supposed to be a VM. It's an application running in a sandbox. There is no real OS around it, besides the libraries and support files it would need to run. There are no processes besides whatever is in the CMD line when building the image + whatever else that starts up.
This removes like 90% of the OS from the OS, and not many OS updates are going to really have any effect besides major version changes or urgent fixes.
(And even for urgent fixes, you *can* modify and rebuild the image yourself just by changing the FROM line)

@npub1l3g…vu48 I mean it's not *that* bad if you have some experience. Then again, that's why VPS providers exist.
Most of my experience is in self-hostable though, I'm not one to trust data like my finances to some other company or provider that could go bankrupt overnight (ironic I know)

@npub1l3g…vu48 I wonder if anything in the awesome selfhosted list works?
I assume you already checked though.

@npub1l3g…vu48 Like 99% of that could be Firefly III (https://www.firefly-iii.org), self-hosted, web-based, complete with mobile app on F-Droid, just no auto reconcilliation and check printing.
Let me poke around.

@npub1l3g…vu48 No, I requested it literally the day I got my Tech license.
That's why I want to do this, because that means I'll have Extra within 18 days of getting Tech.
