I got out of the hospital and my father should be out soon. I feel weak after covid and got some other complications such are increased pulse and diarrhea from antibiotics. Get vaccinated folks, don't be lazy or stupid, you don't need to waste your time and body.

I've been hospitalized with my father for a week now due to covid, we are getting better but time sure passes slowly when you are in hospital.

@dani Either way, mathstodon owner has to add those emojis if you have account on that instance

@dani
You need to have those emojis on your instance. You can ask @kev where to find those emojis, he has them on fosstodon instance

@kravietz They mix how someone feels with what is truth, facts don't care much about feelings.

@yarmo
I would argue that some filesystem that uses CoW (copy on write) is a must when using arch, unless you want to chroot into your system everytime it breaks.

@yarmo
Ever heard of snapshots? Very cool stuff for restoring and backing up your data in an instant. Enter BTRFS (or ZFS): filesystem that lets you restore your / or /home (or any other folder when set up) before system boots to broken one, denying fear of broken updates, just dont forget to make some snapshots or use tools to make them for you from time to time. I use BTRFS since its already built in kernel and seems easier to set up.

@yarmo
Since its rolling distro things (rarely) tend to brake, especially if you use Nvidia GPUs, rolling distro means that you get latest updates which aren't tested long enough to see if they are stable. This is where Manjaro comes as little bit more stable since they test more kernel and gpu updates before pushing them to repos. How to not care about system break in next toot.

@yarmo
I use Arch for 3 reasons:
1) rolling distro so you get latest software updates (good for games, bad for other reasons, see next toot)
2) Very good documentation on ArchWiki
3) AUR - no more adding PPAs or manualy building software

Pacman is also very fast package manager, better visualisation of what is being done than apt imo.

Bad stuff in next toot.

@nikolal Igor Pavlov (developer of 7zip) indicated in one comment that 7zip for Linux would have the same license it already has, LGPL. It seems he just didn't want to release the source yet in order to polish everything. After all 21.01 is an alpha version and there is also some trouble with compiling it on some platforms.

If you want good copy/write speeds with USB flash drives on both Windows and Linux machines format flash drive as btrfs and install WinBtrfs driver for Windows machine. There is no real need to make subvolumes, just format is important. WinBtrfs driver is open source: github.com/maharmstone/btrfs

Now that the new OnionShare has better command line support, I just wrote a guide explaining how to run your own anonymous Tor dropbox on a Raspberry Pi. Check it out: micahflee.com/2021/02/onionsha

First time using ansible for Valheim dedicated server setup, very neat tool.

@TheFuzzStone
Some apps will just show broken icons in tray but you can change icon theme and that should fix some of broken icons
