Distro?

It’s Fedora Atomic, with temptation of NixOS.

In the real world, I love music 🗣️:

- Industrial Metal 🔩
- Aggrotech 😡 
- Deathcore 💀

  • Really depends on what you want your system to be, if you want a lightweight system choose a barebones distro like Arch, Gentoo, Void or any server spin such as Fedora Server. Then, during installation you only get what you need. If you are going lightweight you’d probably want something like Sway WM, Hyprland or XFCE.

    If you don’t care for minimalism, then choosing a distro focused on a graphical interface such as Fedora Workstation will be much better for you, since that distro will be maintained with the idea of users using whatever DE it is, the distro maintainers probably contribute to upstream of the DE too. Support will also be easier since you’ll find that these distros, while maybe having smaller communities, those communities ask more questions and get more solutions due to the Linux inexperience.







  • I ran SSHFS for a while maybe half a year ago? I quite liked it cause we obviously already use SSH so setup was quick and easy, performance was good too. Then I learnt it’s no longer maintained so switched to NFS.

    NFS is good, if you aren’t accessing from Windows I would go for that. Setup is pretty simple too, just change /etc/exports and a few permissions or ownerships (after installing the package obviously) then start the systemd service.

    Can’t comment on Kerberos, but considering NFS popularity I can’t imagine it being difficult.






  • Seriously, I’m not a heavy software developer that partakes in projects of that scale nor complexity but just seeing it from the outside makes me hurt. All these protocols left-right and center, surely just an actual program would be cleaner? Like they just rewrite X from scratch implementing and supporting all modern technology and using a monolithic model.

    Then small projects could still survive since making a compositor would almost be trivial, no need to rewrite Wayland from scratch cause we got “Waykit” (fictional name I just thought of for this X rewrite), just import that into your project and use the API.








  • Grammar checking my properly written-up Wiki entries from notes of my Obsidian vault. Or finding names and acronyms, but I prefer to do that myself if possible.

    To get a scale like that, I would just leave it up to extrapolation of the fundamental traits of your world. If my world was scorched, but I only write about a couple cities, you can imagine everything inbetween is a fiery hellscape too.

    It’s your universe, not AI’s nor a professional’s. Try to do as much as you can by yourself, if the world your building fits with you as a person, this should be easier than it sounds.

    P.S - Proc-gen is not necesserily AI, but an algorithm. A set of rules to follow with given aguments for variation. This is why games such as No Man’s Sky, that heavily use proc-gen, end up with repeating landscapes or planets. The algorithm was given similar arguments. AI is far more complex however, closer to how a biological brain determines something.
