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?

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

in ~7 years of using linux openrc, x and either dwm or my own wm (no name yet) I have experienced maybe 3 xorg crashes. what do you people do to make xorg crash I guess you could ctrl+alt+f2 and use a different tty for the daemons

I know some people like to bad-mouth Linux Mint, but it eased me into it understanding things and it's pretty comfortable for what it is. Put it on my ancient, dying laptop and it runs nicely.

>>337 Well, OP, now that you familiarized yourself with POSIX-like GNU/Linux-based OSes, consider using either of these: Gentoo, Funtoo, Obarun, Joborun, Parabola, Hyperbola, CRUX, Chimera, Bedrock or lo/g/os The mentioned distos give much more freedom to the user, than "mainstream" ones do(n't). Out of these, only Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre is a fully free/libre distro, which follows the GNU FSDG.

>>337 Honestly as someone who uses mint id say go with mint. Based on your post, you have no experience with linux so you want something new user friendly. Mint is based on ubuntu the most popular distro but (from what I understood) ubuntu was doing some retarded things with its distro and mint reverses on those stupid changes(so i was told im not too technically inclined myself) Additionally it comes out of the box with DE that is familiar to windows desktop. Do not fall for the niche distro meme. You need to use a popular one because then you have all the people to assist you with your questions and all the software support you can get.

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.

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

>>989 It's not just people isolated from society and it's not just the internet, it's everyone, everywhere, all the time, and it's memes. If you expose someone to an especially potent meme it will eat them from inside and turn them into a kind of zombie that only exists to spread that meme. If you consider everything you see, hear, or feel as a psychic attack you're almost being careful enough. As far as the sites in this thread, >>241 is correct. To discuss something somewhat seriously like programming you either need to know someone or get very lucky. If there was a way to communicate how to find the quality conversations that could fit in a single post, that method would be destroyed almost instantly. Text is cheaply infinitely copyable and distributable, anything that simple would be immediately copied by all the people in all of the usual places that you already know and are trying to avoid.

>>990 It's social media algorithms that isolate people into groups and turn them more extreme and the psychological effect of imageboards how poor they are at getting people to connect on a more personal level so it promotes group behavior. Memes is just one part of this larger picture. People weren't this bad prior to 2014 or so with Gamergate. Things got their worst once the mainstream news started having Tweets of random nobodies appear in news. If we could bring back the old internet before how it was when corporations got in on the dot com tech boom that may help but till then just have to keep people vigilant about these mass psychosis cases.

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.
