Where do you discuss programming online? Anonymous 10/26/2023 (Thu) 22:00:01 No. 240 [Reply]

I just don't know what places are good anymore...

I used to be a regular on 4chan/g/ several years ago, but it's gone to shit so much that even I can't take it anymore and I haven't been able to figure out where else to discuss tech/programming online. Do you have any places where you go regularly? The only one that I use other than random subreddits for whichever topic is hackernews, but that place is just no fun at all

does /robowaifu/ count as a tech board? lainchan doesn't have the spark it had in the past sleepy feels too aggro and dead /g/ has always been bad but now it is 90% 4chan-pass bots. the 900 seconds cloudflare captcha filters privacy conscious human posters sturdy has an active tech board but it is exclusively focused on the 3 or 4 programs they use to manage their loli content hn and lobste.rs feel like linkedin for people with autism and I would only ever use them to self-promote my open source projects. they feel high-quality because they structure posts as if they were white papers, but it is an illusion; the actual information density is rather low. it is a grind and most people there are just advertising themselves to potential employers or investors

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?

Anonymous 12/20/2024 (Fri) 11:43:35 No. 979

do you really need tmux? your shell probably has good enough job control features, at least on linux: ctrl+z stops a foreground job jobs lists all the active processes in that terminal bg restarts a stopped job (in the background) fg brings a process to the foreground, and restarts it if it was stopped you can use the job number (from the jobs list) preceded by '%' with bg, fg, disown, etc. for example fg %2

Anonymous 12/20/2024 (Fri) 13:31:34 No. 980

you can run tmux as a daemon and things you run won't die together with x which likes to die alot. nohup is bullshit because it saves output right in your ass. with tmux it's just a matter of reconnecting to the session. i use urxvtd though, because i got sick of overbloated gtk/qt interfaces that don't let me fucking press f1 while messing around with my kernel config

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.

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...

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.
