I like ext4 because it’s easy. If anything breaks, ANY live USB can fix it. I use fat32 for my removeable drives, because anything can read it. I don’t use journalling for anything manually, but I imagine it’s useful when my disk crashes because I let my laptop die

ah. I’ve been doing linux things, but maybe i’ll try out gridchat next time i’m on 9front

Are you on oftc?

Depends on the tech job. A lot of corporate IT support jobs care a lot more about troubleshooting windows because that’s what the employees use

It will never matter what your login shell, unless you have bash specific scripts in your login. chsh -s /bin/fish $(whoami) is fine.

That looks awesome! Having used fvwm, I’m a fan of the scrollable desktop

Then I won’t be suing for copyright infringement

I’m fine with making people email me if they want to sell derivatives of a creative work tho

It’s useful as it makes it harder for AI to use it. Derivates can still reach out to ask to be allowed to sell it

also great for old windows disk recover. Testdisk is awesome

A lot of people are recommending version control. While it’s good practice, that isn’t a requirement of sharing your code. If you want to make it really simple at first, add a License (as others have mentioned) and just post the code anywhere. Upload a tar archive to a website, use sourceforge or even lemmy.

Learning git would still be useful for you and potential contributors but it is not a requirement. Open source just means you share the source and explicitely provide a license for others to use and modify it

Depends on what I’m doing. For most of my use cases, not really. For universal paperclips, I worry it’ll melt

My t430 is still going, but my x201 is in better shape.

Especially just getting into linux. Ext4 works well enough, when you learn enough to care about what it doesn’t do well try something then

Whoa! Me too! Tbf, i didn’t really look at them often, but it feels more right knowing they’re there

As someone with an IBM PS/1 running 4.0, I’m excited to be able to modify it, distribute it, etc

yeah punctuations is silly who cares

is it in the source code, or is it just passed right to BIOS?

Not really…That’s not a linux user metric it’s a steam user metric. Seems fine to include the steam hardware platform

not quite. it works for some things, but still a lot to go!
