yeah ive written several systemd files to turn dumb one-off scripts into a real service.

now, of course, if its not a super low level thing that has to run on the host OS i immediately search for `<thing> docker` and if that exists i go for it

I want to be able to sit down and say “this is Unix. I know this” and have the tomes of manuals I read autistically to have relevance. I used to read the x11 manuals too (a big part of why I dislike wayland, probably
) there’s nothing comparable anymore and the way things fit together don’t make sense. it’s dissonant with my idea of unix history and convention, which seemed pretty great to me. things change too fast now and it’s mostly just red hat winging it. freebsd 5.x felt like a home — linux feels like an airbnb.

I don’t like it because I don’t like it and the mental structures I built around BSD are increasingly irrelevant yet aren’t replaced by anything that makes my life better at all. it’s complicated in places I don’t need it to be complicated, and oversimplified in places i want more control. similar with how python took over everything when smalltalk, which actually makes sense and had nice books, was right there (io would have made a good replacement that works better with the Unix model). good books are important to my computing experience. now there’s just terrible man pages, README.md, and web tutorials.

i know it sounds like a joke but im serious about unix as a way of structuring the space inside a computer — i knew the building layout, how the furnace worked, how to replace the fuse and so on, and there were good blueprints and product manuals. i feel kind of lost now and need to go to (lovely) docs a lot more because i don’t know how to memorize the new stuff, it doesn’t mesh well with the old knowledge.

gently caress esr, cathedrals all the way.

a good post and i appreciate it

my fedora box “””””just works””””” for docker and poo poo and now the novelty has worn off i think i am just gonna ignore it, use it as a seedbox, and periodically relaunch plex when new versions come out

guess i will have to find something more interesting to do with my life

https://github.com/Jeeaaasus/youtube-dl

make two yt playlists, 'audio' and 'video' then punch them into the config for this. set the rescan to 10m. now if you want something just add to that list on youtube, go pour your coffee and it just shows up. i swear by it

(also it doesnt get throttled)

(also it works for youtube music, if you can play it on the site, you can download it)

why does this need a dockerfile with a shitload of dependencies, when @120 yt-dlp <a bunch of flags> in a crontab is all that's needed

i guess nobody noticed that freebsds crontab(5) has grown a few new options like @N to run N seconds after the last command completed and @every_minute or @every_second

Because I like Docker a whole lot and containerize everything i can and also i do it for my job now. Next

Let's embed our dependency version and url into our Dockerfile! Well, only if we're running x86_64 -- otherwise let's just use the latest version of the distro package. Why not always use the distro ffmpeg?


Then this poo poo:
https://github.com/Jeeaaasus/youtube-dl/blob/master/Dockerfile#L79

Why? Just Why?

Don't run a loving init inside your container. Run containers for each service. An init in your container just obscures the visibility docker provides into your service and fucks up your logging situation. One (primary application) process, one container, one set of logs.

i don't care. this is so i can download music videos via youtube.

today in linux audio adventures i plugged a headphone jack into my puter and it decided the headphones were a stereo microphone

actually somewhat successfully too

most headphones are actually pretty adequate dynamic mics.

My Sangean prison model radio has the AUX IN jack blocked off that is normally present, because they didn't want inmates to be able to plug a set of headphones into the aux in and use it as a makeshift PA system to coordinate riots.

China is ditching Windows in favor of Linux when it comes to government services and the like, if this is really true we could expect to see more Linux users in general in China which could have an effect on the available software for Linux and hardware compatibility which in turn could make Linux a more viable choice here in the west for people still on the fence. :china:

if you didnt internalize the things on either side of this pipe years ago and still consider it 'scary' i dont want you grepping my code, let alone editing or making changes to it unsupervised. just ask me for the file and edit it in notepad++ or whatever, as you do, send me the file back and i'll take a look-see.

ive had two SSDs die. both were before i started heatsinking them all. now i have like a dozen around the house and none have broken.

just as a rumor, the sk hynix brand ones are highly regarded for laptops as they seem to run a few C cooler than the others. I think when SSDs die, 98% of the time its the controller chip overheating, not the actual nands. but the sk's seem solid

8th gen i5 or i7 (i always i7), nvme slot, lots of ports, good keyboard, good enough 1080p screen, 8h of browsing if the battery's in ok shape. Nice little beaters.
