Recommendations for Windows laptops similar in appearance to the iBook G3 It seems like such a thing should exist with how the other computer makers love copying off of Apple, but I'm having a hard time finding any

While reinstalling my system I accidentally tarballed /srv/http outside of chroot, then deleted my old data, now have to rewrite the website i was working on from zero

I once unpacked an entire system outside of chroot, rewriting my current one and breaking everything.

Very unfortunate and i am sorry for your loss. here's to a speedy recovery of the progress on your website :3

what hypervisor should i use? Anonymous 10/16/2024 (Wed) 23:04:24 No. 856 [Reply]
i know of Xen, Bhyve (which is like a vmm but with a hypervisor too, but its kinda less capable), or KVM (i don't really like GNU/Linux but ill get over it eventually i guess, im in a love hate relationship rn because distro fragmentation kinda sucks a lot) Xen apparently may or may not work on my current hardware, unfortunately, and i also don't know if ill even benefit from it anyways, since i really don't have a problem with running a host, its 2024, i have enough computational resources for having a resource intense host i would also say NetBSD Virtual Machine Manager is an option but i can't run NetBSD on most of my hardware as a host, and nested virtualization is not really possible on FreeBSD Bhyve iirc, and id rather not do a QEMU/KVM setup just to run NetBSD, it would be really heavy and sluggish for the most part, but idrk plan 9 also has a virtual machine system, but i don't really have a reason to start a 9fs grid since im broke af and can't buy a bunch of machines, so yeah, idk Hyper-V might be fine, im not opposed to Windows at all, but its gonna take a bit to learn how to use Windows. Solaris 11 is also an option but id rather not depend on having an Oracle account, even if its "free", however if its virtualization is actually good i might just use Solaris as my host, especially since it still supports SPARC (i plan on buying a SPARC machine)
>>
> what hypervisor should i use? I don't understand what you are trying to do with your hypervisor? I think in most cases, you should be fine with KVM though. I don't see why you would use anything else as it's (except for Xen and Hyper-V maybe) the most capable, stable and best-supported out of your list.
>>
Don't use them. You don't need them.
>>
There isn't a "good" hypervisor. Just know what works best for you. I recommend using VirtualBox, I personally use it. It's cross-platform (Windows, MacOS, Linux) and it's free. https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads If that's not interesting or useful for you, try using VMware or some other visualization computer software...

Why use tmux?? Anonymous 11/09/2024 (Sat) 16:14:12 No. 914 [Reply]
Why should I use tmux over the tiling and tabbing features of my window manager or those already built into many terminals?
>>
>>914 You probably won't need it unless all of your graphical programs go missing and you need to use TTY. I use tmux because I don't have the any of the things you talked about
>>
>>914 Simple: you want to have a service running in the background that's not a daemon For example, transcoding video with ffmpeg might take a very long time. If you end up closing your terminal for whatever reason during that and your session isn't in screen or tmux, it's gone and you have to start from scratch
>>
>>915 Im not sure what you mean even if you don’t use a window manager most default terminals support this kind of features even on gnome and you aren’t using a minimal terminal unless it’s used with a minimal tiling window manager >>921 Im pretty sure the nohup and disown command can do that without a terminal multiplexer
>>
>>921 nohup cmd & or cmd & disown (but disown does not redirect the command output by itself)
>>
>>914 My terminal doesn't support multiplexing so I end up using tmux as a workaround. It also allows me to keep my sessions alive and accessible from elsewhere with ssh.

What was your first Linux distro? Over a decade ago, on my shitty vista laptop, I flashed Gentoo on to it, because people said it was best to start with in a chatroom I was in... I ended up figuring it out somehow though.

>>910 There's a decent bit of space behind me so I just roll my chair back if I want to watch anything on it but honestly I mostly just put my music player up there, or some effects stuff for music production. It's pretty useless and probably not what I'll do when I move house soon. Also behind me is the obligatory ikea glass display case that every figure collector on the planet has, and one time while drunk I rolled my chair back way too enthusiastically and crashed right into it. By some miracle I managed to not shatter any of the panels but it was loud as fuck.

It is cruel irony that I find vim the most comfy terminal based text editor. No other compares to it. But is so fucking complex and overloaded with features, that every time I need to correct my workflow it's major pain the ass.

I don't know if this would fit your use case, but whenever I need to access a website as if I'm in another country, I just use Tor and configure it so the exit node is always in the country I want to access the site as. I've been doing this a lot lately to access Niconico as if I'm in Japan, since they recently applied a lot of restrictions to overseas users
