Linux@lemmy.ml•I accidentally broke Gentoo's CI by using a documented VCS
2·9 days agoYes. I used CVS when it was the best option. If I recall, CVS made it easy to check out a different version of only one fail, making it easy to put a system in an inconsistent state.
For modern VCS that’s pleasant to learn and use but won’t scale to the Linux kernel, I recommend Darcs.
A single binary, interactive commands and online help.

But you haven’t even heard the theories!
Xh is my favorite— a rewrite of httpie with some fixes.

Linux@programming.dev•Linux desktop going mainstream for web devs?
1·20 days agoNone of the Mac web devs I know are talking about it. I’m not sure they have even heard of it.

The post suggests that Cloudflare is donating $100k to Omarchy, but no figure is given by Cloudflare. Cloudflare’s press release reads more services in kind for an open source project— something many tech firms already offer without a check on the politics of the maintainers first.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How do you secure your home lab? Like, physically? From thieves?English
4·1 month agoI haven’t heard of that happening much outside of law enforcement raid.
Laptops, yeah. But stories of homes being broken into to steal servers?

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Is there a self-hosted project that does url decoding in a privacy respecting fashion?English
3·2 months agoThe encoding format of URLs is URL encoding, also known as percent-encoding. Content in the URL may be first encoding in some other format, like JSON or base64, and then encoded additionally using percent-encoding.
While there is a standard way to decode percent-encoding, websites are free to use base64 or JSON in URLs however they wish, so there’s not a one-size-fits-all way to decode them all. For example, the “/” character is valid in both percent-encoding and base64-encoding, so to know if it’s part of a base64-encoded blob or not, you might end up trying decoding several parts of the URL as base64 and checking if the result looks like URL-- essentially brute force.
A smarter way to do this might be to maintain a mapping between your favorite sites that you want to decode and what methods they use to encode links. Then a tool could efficiently directly decode the URLs embedded in these click trackers.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Have you tried self-hosting your own email recently?English
11·2 months agoLol. After professionally hosting email for 15 years I’m happy to let someone else handle it now.
About 90% of incoming mail will be spam and it will be your job to make sure you are doing good job of classifying it so you don’t get junk in your inbox and don’t lose real mail in the spam folder.
Then for outgoing mail you need to make sure SPF, DKIM and DMARC are all in order.
Then there is all the usual stuff of security updates, backups, monitoring, alerting, logging and having a plan for internet outages.
Yes, it’s all doable but I won’t expect it be “set and forget”. I expect there will be quite a bit of tuning with some possible spam and delivery problems while you get kinks worked out.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Ubuntu Council corrects forum moderator's interpretation of rules relating to queerness
111·2 months agoUbuntu has a diversity policy to explicitly welcome and encourage participation, mentioning that they explicitly honor diversity in sexual orientation among other things. It does not explicitly mention queerness.
A moderator made a bad a call. It sounds like there may have been some confusion about the word queer used as a slur vs a self-identification.

Linux@programming.dev•The Quiet Revolution: GNU/Linux Crosses 6% Desktop Market Share—And It’s Just the Beginning
4·2 months ago5% is 1-20 users.
I doubt in my city that 1 in 20 people are using desktop Linux, which means there must be higher concentrations somewhere else, maybe in some corporate fleets or university labs.
So where are the big concentrations of desktop Linux in the US? I’m not hearing more stories of big migrations happening outside of ChromeOS.
