Friendly Goons of the tux thread, I'm in need of a couple suggestions to test for web building. I've mostly used Dreamweaver since the early naughts with a small bit of hand coding in vim/vscode to make adjustments. I want to be able to flesh out a site like dreamweaver though and be able to reference other pages/resources on the site in a similar way(like a project that includes stuff. I just don't want to have to keep referencing stuff constantly to point stuff in the right direction during initial setup. Also, bonus if I can ftp both ways to keep things current, but as i'll just be working off of this computer it really only matters for uploads which still i can do manually without too much effort. So, what's somewhere good to start testing things? I'm asking here to avoid the whole search results being paid results or just not helpful. Yuu Morisawa posted:also I started using Syncthing last month and I've installed it on everything, including my Android phone I largely had an intranet set up and ssh/ftp mounted drives from everything else on my main. Syncthing sounds awesome though. I can't really use it for anything currently with only having inet through hotspot, but it sounds like a cool project and I'll keep it in mind for when I get home networking back. Would have saved me a lot of trouble a few years ago. https://i.imgur.com/1qBoiAi.mp4

This is probably not at all what you wanted to know. But on the off chance it helps: I use Hugo to build informational sites, and just raw files for apps. I run rsync to publish things. I stay close to vanilla on everything: no jQuery, React, or whatever. The libraries I do use are luxon, and chart.js. I sometimes use Bulma CSS. VSCode makes working this way a heck of a lot easier than it used to be. |

Oh, except, on my chromebook (my primary non-work machine) I use hterm, which is the only game in town, and is pretty good. But still tmux and whatever shell is there. I ran tcsh for a couple months in the 90s. Not my bag. And I used rc enough to decide not to any longer. At that point I would have been using acme to run the shell, which isn't so much a terminal emulator as a line printer emulator with some really cool editing stuff. In the past, when I did remote admin of machines with really high latency, I used a custom shell mode I wrote for emacs that does line buffering so you don't notice the lag so badly (all your editing happens locally and when you hit enter it finally sends text over the network). cruft fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Oct 28, 2022 |

You can connect a keyboard+mouse and use it as a small "laptop". There is no specific limit to older games that can run on the thing either. Find one you want to give a go and check online if it's compatible. The Wine/Proton layer that deals with Windows software compatibility is pretty good these days.

Don't use arch if you're uncomfortable with the command line. Mint is about the most user friendly Linux out there so I'm not sure why you had to rely on the terminal so much? ElementaryOS might work for you but I'd recommend giving mint another try. It has a graphical software installer, too. I personally like MX Linux a lot but it's not as fancy looking as some of the GNOME or KDE based distros. EDIT - Ignore me... I think I replied to a post a few pages back and now I can't find it. I'm too high to post in BYOB.

Also, idk, Arch was how i learned some of the best things re: the command line haha. Trial by fire  Elementary OS is a name i havent heard of in a long while... how is the state of that?

It's a fairly sleek experience but it's kinda locked down a little in the customization department. It mimics OS X in appearance. They have a lot if custom apps built and that includes a new app center which is dead simple. It came out with the 7.0 release recently. It's very clean and pretty and un-spooky for the terminal averse. However for family and friends that aren't computer types I just default to Mint, especially if I'm going to support it. Cinnamon looks vaguely enough like windows that they don't have any issue and it's Linux so I can fix it easily. I agree re: arch about trial by fire. The biggest issue I have is that arch does rolling releases and their packages can break in impressive ways. I'm too old and impatient these days to deal with it, which is why I stick to Debian derivatives like MX Linux and antiX for my personal rigs. The latter if the machine is super old.

I hate submitting merge requests so much. This one is only three lines long and it's already taken me 10 hours to jump through all the CI/CD hoops set up, not counting the time spent reading the package owner's blog essay on how he thinks people should be filing merge requests. I had to push a commit to remove a space that a check didn't like. And I had to respond to no fewer than five comments by the author on my request, concluding with "hey I think we can work around this three line change by putting this insanely complex shell script in a docker-compose file's entrypoint section". Now the CI/CD system that approves my commits for merge requests is broken because some fragile environment variable was changed by the author and the whole thing fell apart. I honestly am considering just giving up on trying to help improve things. It might just be too onerous for me at this point. |

Anyway I responded to all the comments, changed how I documented my change to merge in a change the author made to the documentation (it was a good change, I'm glad I was able to trigger that happening), removed the naughty space character, and have asked for assistance with triggering a new CI/CD build. But the last thing I wrote was "look, I think this makes things better for users. You're free to reject the change if you disagree." I hope the author either accepts or rejects it and lets me move on with life. I guess if I 'm asked to do a second round of this I'll just withdraw the request. |

This reminds me of the time I read a post on the amateur radio version of stack exchange, where someone was like "boy I'd really like to know what frequency the army used in morse code training in the 1940s", so I did a bunch of research, found some recordings, pitch-matched the frequency to within 1 cent, and posted a reply... then got rejected because I didn't have enough reputation points. So I posted it as an answer, and some admin chewed my rear end because I didn't post a reply. I said "I tried but I don't have enough reputation" and then they chewed my rear end with instructions on how to answer a bunch of other poo poo I had no interest in, in order to build enough reputation to post the FOUR-FREAKING-DIGIT FREQUENCY in the right place. So I just deleted the answer. MAN I AM SALTY ABOUT THE INTERNET RIGHT NOW! |

I kinda get it. You need to raise the bar to entry and want to enforce some standards too. But from a personal perspective, the steep increase in bureaucracy is just irritating as hell. Author said "yeah, no, I don't want to change the code, I'm happy with this complicated-rear end documentation instead". I think he's expecting me to revert my patch and implement verbatim the example he put in the comment, but I don't want my name associated with that tomfoolery, so I guess I just do nothing and hope one day he rejects my change. Anyway how's everybody's Loonix today? |

I got laid off so I took the time to switch from MX Linux to Linux Mint because I wanted some more pedestrian things to Just Work. It's been great so far, save for some xfce stuff I have in muscle memory. I'm fundamentally opposed to cinnamon because it's written in JavaScript but it works generally quite well. I do miss a lot of the tooling that comes with MX but I had to finally bed my knee to poettering's mistakes and a host of other modern linuxy things because I'm growing weary of fighting self inflicted obscure technical issues.

cruft posted:I kinda get it. You need to raise the bar to entry and want to enforce some standards too. I'm very annoyed at situations with solutions and being told to ignore an easy option. I'm also massively annoyed by bureaucratic time wasting and paperwork. Although, I think it'd be funny to leave it pending and reject it in like 2 decades just for the mystery of why. Sadly, I bought a game and can't force steam to run it so I'm trying to Windows right now. It's not going very well. I forgot how poo poo windows runs from being on tux for over a year. I swear the last updates from a couple years ago intentionally broke the system. I'm tempted to reinstall from the os/driver discs i got in 2014. Fan on max and I got this one page open. temp 60C. How the gently caress does windows idle 30C hotter than my linux system that's got a full DE? Not like I'm barebones Arch with fluxbox and i3. 4+GB ram on loving boot. I don't think apple is a better company than microsoft, but atleast they are openly making garbage computers. Ha, I could open a VM and run linux on extra monitor like I used to. I don't know if windows would poo poo it's mind though. It's my own fault I suppose by buying stuff that has no support for linux. I've bought a bunch of stuff to try to make windows work fluidly, but to no avail. Free stuff on Linux repos keep being the better way to go. I kinda wish steam had put more time and effort into integration than pushing the steamdeck line of lovely console like computers. Always annoyed me that they wanted to promote underpowered poo poo and that's how some people learned about linux. Oh, it can't even run this at 60fps because the system is poo poo... Nah, it's because the hardware can't and developers don't give a gently caress about anything but windows unless they are cool. Ranting done. Sorry if anyone made it through. Sorrier to those not reading this. Last thought, I've never been paid to fix a computer with Linux. I do make money off just clipping windows down to the stuff that works for people to use computers they just got that seem slow. https://i.imgur.com/1qBoiAi.mp4
