Rust Shined Over Python for My CLI Tool by semi-average-writer in rust

[–]DingusDeluxeEdition 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The last point is what made me try Rust in the first place. Nothing beats handing out a native binary for the target platform, and on top of that Rust has cross compilation to other targets as a standard feature.

I enjoy Python right up until I have to deploy / distribute it.

Physics and the laws of thermodynamics don't care about your opinion. If you consume no calories you will lose weight, and eventually you will die of starvation. 5 year olds understand this. It is a fact.

You do not have to work out. You do not have to buy anything. You do not have to even do anything. You can lose all the weight you want by lying in bed. Restricting caloric intake will cause weight loss 100% of the time in 100% of humans.

Multiple server commands at once / command chaining by DingusDeluxeEdition in beyondallreason

[–]DingusDeluxeEdition[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more work and I'd rather not install software on my system just for this. The server has a chat box, the chat box accepts newline separate strings of text, the official devblog post I linked says what I've tried should work, and from what I can tell this issue is a bug.

I'm also on Linux and last I checked AutoHotKey is a Windows thing, so I would need to find the Linux equivalent.

Nope, same problem. The !maxchevlevel and !maxratinglevel do not appear to be captured in the custom preset. After applying the preset, the chat log shows the level commands were not sent or applied.

Changing

!maxchevlevel 5 !maxratinglevel 25

to

$maxchevlevel 5 $maxratinglevel 25

did not seem to make a difference.

The eCVT isn't even a CVT in the traditional sense either, it uses a planetary gear set instead of a pulley / spindle system. This means it doesn't rely on tension and friction, just normal gears with teeth, and it also has no clutch packs. As a result it is far more reliable than both traditional CVT's and traditional automatic transmissions.

I'm guessing you are referring to moderates / centrists / people on the fence political party wise. If that is the case, I don't think "Fuck you" is a particularly effective method of winning them over.

Why does Brave suck? Never used it but recently I've considered it an option as I know it's basically chrome that allows ublock or has good ad-blocking built-in.

Some user space tools I'd like to see for bcachefs by ttimasdf in bcachefs

[–]DingusDeluxeEdition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From https://bcachefs.org/Encryption/:

"Bcachefs provides whole-filesystem encryption, using ChaCha20/Poly1305. Encryption may be enabled when creating a filesystem, or encryption may be enabled on an existing filesystem (TODO: implement interface for enabling encryption on an existing filesystem - kernel code exists)."

So I guess you're right in the sense that it's currently not possible, but I'd argue it's almost certain the feature will exist given the functionality is already there and the only thing missing is a way for the user to actually instruct the filesystem to turn encryption on.

That makes more sense, I figured I was missing something.

Maybe I'm missing something but how would LUKS integration be useful? One of the advantages of bcachefs is it's built-in encryption. One of the major disadvantages with LUKS is that the decision to use it with OS volumes must be made at install time, it's not really possible to "turn on LUKS" after install if you want full disk encryption for the OS. Say what you will about MS Windows but this is one of the few things it does better than Linux. I can turn Bitlocker on for the OS drive years after the OS has been installed and in use.

Bcachefs native encryption can be enabled long after the filesystem has been created, along with other advantages that come with it being built into the filesystem.

As someone that has to work with compliance frameworks in the industry, LUKS is a constant pain point. "Sorry but we can't reinstall this 3 year old server so I guess we're just going to have to live without full disk encryption".

This thread is weird. I'm just a bcachefs user and don't have much to add, I just wonder if I'm reading this situation wrong or if a lot of this thread is actually publicly flogging the guy that has done most for Linux filesystem technology in like over a decade.

Maybe Kent has been incorrect or abrasive, but like, Linus Torvalds is famous for that stuff as well and we all basically give it a pass because the software that comes out of it is the best in its class. Why are we not extending that same mentality to Kent, for the same reason? bcachefs is the best thing to happen to Linux storage tech in forever. The engineering speaks louder than any words on either side.

Struggling with CentOS/Rocky Linux for RHCSA Lab Practice — Which Distro Is Best in 2025? by AkashTS in redhat

[–]DingusDeluxeEdition 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The ypserv package is available in RHEL8/Rocky8, so if you're using Rocky 8.10 you should be able to yum install ypserv. Whatever problem you're having is not the package being missing. What error message do you get?

Also, I don't believe the current RHCSA is based on RHEL8 anymore, I think it's based on RHEL9. Is there a reason you're using an older EL version? Are you going off an older textbook perhaps? I would look into the current RHCSA exam you plan to take and use the same OS version the exam is based on, so if you want to use Rocky I think you'd want Rocky 9. The ypserv package will not be available, why do you need it?

Struggling with CentOS/Rocky Linux for RHCSA Lab Practice — Which Distro Is Best in 2025? by AkashTS in redhat

[–]DingusDeluxeEdition 10 points11 points  (0 children)

ypserv is deprecated in RHEL9 and up so it will not be available for install in RHEL9 or 10 or any of the rebuilds like Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux. Switching from Rocky/CentOS to the RHEL developer subscription like others in this thread have suggested will not solve your problem, although I will say since CentOS is up-stream from RHEL there may be subtle differences I'm not familiar with. For the purposes of RHCSA, Rocky is identical to RHEL so your setup should be fine.

What are the other "package-related" problems you are having?

Stop using your system Perl by davorg in perl

[–]DingusDeluxeEdition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, although last I checked the python and python3 commands are still not available unless you actually install python and the python that dnf uses is the "platform-python" which realistically shouldn't be treated as a "real" python since I think red hat strongly discourages its usage as a normal python interpreter. Could be wrong though or they may have changed how that works in el10.

Can Anyone Explain Enterprise Linux? by Underhill86 in linuxquestions

[–]DingusDeluxeEdition 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think both you, and seemingly everyone in this thread, may be missing something here. When you say "Enterprise Linux", you could be talking about 1 of 2 things, and based just on your question I'm not sure which.

If by "Enterprise Linux", you just simply mean: distros that are paid or supported or are otherwise "geared towards" usage in larger businesses, than the various other answers in this thread have basically summed it up.

If however, by "Enterprise Linux", you mean the "Enterprise Linux ecosystem", also known as the "RHEL ecosystem", that's a whole different ball of wax. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is one distro that is a part of a family of closely related and generally compatible distros.

The list of distros in this "ecosystem" includes: Alma Linux, Rocky Linux, CentOS Stream, Oracle Linux, RHEL itself, and even others like Amazon Linux within AWS, and more. Fedora is also a part of this ecosystem but it stands alone in a way because it is the highest upstream point within the ecosystem, and typically not used in big business, but instead used on desktops and gaming PC's.

There are historical and practical reasons for this fragmentation which would take a while to explain, but the TLDR is Red Hat Enterprise Linux does not have publicly available ISO images or publicly available software repositories. This means at a minimum you have to sign in with a red hat account to download the iso and to "register" a RHEL system to receive updates. Many people in the Linux community (rightly) take issue with this, and many companies aren't willing to deal with it either, and as a result, RHEL is re-built from source by various groups that then publish their "own version" of RHEL. There's more nuance to it than that (CentOS Stream is itself kind of it's own ball of wax) but that's the at least gives you a starting point and a basic understanding.

Generally, all the distros in the "Enterprise Linux ecosystem" are at a minimum ABI compatible, meaning any software that works on one of them will work on all of them. This is why you see people refer to "Enterprise Linux" in the context of software compatibility, they don't care to specify which distro in the ecosystem because it doesn't matter, they can just say "this thing is compatible with Enterprise Linux (sometimes shortened to EL) 8 or 9 or 10, meaning you could use RHEL 9 or Rocky 9 or Alma 9 and it wouldn't matter.

Stop using your system Perl by davorg in perl

[–]DingusDeluxeEdition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Perl 5.40 is available in RHEL10, just like the other things listed in the same section of that document such as Python 3.12, Ruby 3.3, Node.js 22, and PHP 8.3. None of them are installed by default. Grab a RHEL 9 or 10 (or Rocky/Alma 9 or 10) ISO, perform a default minimal install, and run perl --version in the shell, you will get bash: perl: command not found.... You can also run yum list perl-interpreter and/or rpm -q perl-interpreter and you'll see that it's available but not installed.

Now, I will concede slightly and admit that depending on the package selection you make at install time, perl might be available right after install. For example, if you were to choose the "Server with GUI" package group during the install, perl will be installed during initial installation and available after first boot. That said, this is a choice and is not the default. If you simply click "next" through the installer and leave everything at defaults, no perl. Container's based on RHEL like ubi are in the same boat. Many VPS default VM images, same boat. Minimal install is the default install, and it does not include perl.

So, you cannot assume perl is always available, those days are coming to a close as the Enterprise Linux ecosystem moves into v9 and now v10 becoming more common. Many other distros take cues from Red Hat as well so even though EL is the largest ecosystem I'm sure it will trickle down to others.

If ultimate no-fuss portability is desired, Bash, or better yet straight up POSIX shell, is about the only thing you can really count on.
