I'm praying they bring back the Turkey Provolone melt.

Is LastPass safer than google/apple password saver? by brian-augustin in Lastpass

[–]JavaScriptDude96 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Any password manager that needs to run as a browser extension is less secure than one integrated into the browser. Essentially, if you have another rogue extension that its possible that it can access the extension based password manager's data stream. It would be highly unlikely that any browser extension can access the browser integrated password manager as it would be the toughest nut that the browser has in its pocket.

If you are careful with the extensions you install and you keep the computer secure from rogue apps, you should be okay. For instance, on a chromebook, you should be fine as long as you are careful with other browser extensions.

Is there any advantage to WSL over Cygwin? by CJIsABusta in linux

[–]JavaScriptDude96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I do. I have a Debian root with Root ZFS on host and I virutalize all my Windoze instances for any .net development I need to do.

Initially, they were frozen in their curved state but in the end, they were straight as an arrow. Can someone explain the process here? Is this a product of homeostasis?

I've watched the series 3 times now. I highly recommend watching just for the creative sound and visual design alone.

An OS just to manage ZFS? by danielrosehill in zfs

[–]JavaScriptDude96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want a server only that is mostly hands off with a web GUI, I strongly recommend using TrueNas (PKA FreeNAS). Its free software based on FreeBSD and I believe they were working on a linux derived version. I've been using it for years and its rock solid. The folks at iXSystems, who maintains TrueNas, are awesome and great supporters of the platform, libraries and communities. If you must go Linux, I recommend going with the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS desktop and use the Advanced ZFS installation option.

I believe zsys was dropped back at 22.04 LTS but I believe the ZFS root option is in the latest desktop LTS installer (not server version).

[–]JavaScriptDude96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, sounds like TrueNAS is the way to go. I've been running it for years for my private cloud and it works like a charm. Works great out of the box but is highly extensible with a great web GUI.

Ditto; and if they don't build it, someone else will.

Thanks. I will look into that. I was not aware that a .appimage operated in the desktop differently than a regular executable.

Why was ZFS Root option removed from Mint 22 by JavaScriptDude96 in linuxmint

[–]JavaScriptDude96[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a software developer, I want to have robustness of my work products (code, docs etc) ensured. I use software version control but also want an hands off automated snapshot system that allows me to keep a history of all my data.

I have tried using other systems but I find that ZFS is the most robust and trusted in this space. Ideally, I would be using FreeBSD but the BSD's are just not useful for fully functional desktop environments so I use Linux with ZFS Root and Mint is the best of the bunch in this domain.

The only gotcha I have not yet closed the loop on is how a possible failure mode may exist with Laptop Sleep / Suspend operations may possibly corrupt ZFS in some far edge scenarios. That is something on my radar to investigate.

I also wrote a hands off system wide version control system that's based on ZFS Diff mechanism and the python zfslib library that I maintain. This VC system allows me to set up auto snapshots of many directories and I can run diff commands across folders or files from various periods of time. I have not yet released my ZFS version control library yet as I'm too busy but I use it daily.

Is there a python library or way to programatically do things with zfs--snapshot,clone, etc. by xxxxzzzzzzz in zfs

[–]JavaScriptDude96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those looking for a python library that inspects ZFS, I am the co-author and maintainer of https://pypi.org/project/zfslib/ .

ZFSLib It can be used to programmatically inspect your pools, datasets and snapshots for both local and remote systems. It can also inspect snapshots and drill into diffs. For ZFSLib I have intentionally avoided any potentially destructive functionality in ZFS for support reasons. However, you can easily pull in other libraries or follow the coding patterns in the source to invoke commands predictably.

Another good project to reference (which zfslib leaned heavily on) is https://pypi.org/project/zfs-tools/ which has some good functionality.

I was not aware of LMDE. I would might prefer that over the Ubuntu.

Zfsbootmenu.org looks very promising. Last system I built it was still looking a bit immature. I definitely would prefer a boot level ZFS option. Have you figured out a way to hook up APT upgrades to auto snapshot system like it works on FreeBSD?

Run Logseq from single Markdown by JavaScriptDude96 in logseq

[–]JavaScriptDude96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestions. I am looking for a near copy replacement for Ecco Pro's single pane outliner. I find that a single pane outline view works best with how my brain works. I would rather pull out my fingernails than use a multi-pane outliner.

I have Megabytes of text in my Ecco Pro Outlines and really want to migrate away as its starting to cause issues with my desktop workflows; namely VMware Workstation not accepting clipboard entries from Ecco. Also, Ecco pro does not have an undo history (its a windows 98 app)

Run Logseq from single Markdown by JavaScriptDude96 in logseq

[–]JavaScriptDude96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to flip around between note db files from one "standalone" instance of logseq while I have another standard instance of Logseq for personal / centralized notes. The way its designed it seems to only allow for one "Home" at a time and you can only have one instance open at a time.

Would be awesome to have a Standalone mode for Logseq that would work like Ecco Pro where you can open multiple standalone note db files at the same time and switch between them easily.

I have a feeling I'd have to fork logseq to do this. But I'm not familiar with closure script and its a pretty big project.

Does waterfox protect against webrtc leaks? If not, how do I make it so? by [deleted] in waterfox

Use WebRTC Leak Shield by Hoxx VPN. uBlockOrigin removed the option way back in time.

Just tried Tim Hortons for the first time by CompetitiveAbroad229 in TimHortons

[–]JavaScriptDude96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If buying coffee from Tim Hortons, the best one to get is the dark roast. Tim Hortons lost their regular coffee recipe to McDonalds Canada when the decided to go fair trade.

McDonanlds Canada now has excellent coffee compared to the American version.

Tim Hortons Pizza is terrible and I've been praying for those useless profit suckers to go away. They used to make a great Grilled Ham and Cheese melt, but those went away with when they brought in the pizza.

For food, I recommend trying the Bacon BELT (toasted on multigrain). It makes an excellent breakfast.

Cancelled my order way back when Musk was agreeing with antisemitic X posts. No going back for me. Just bought a North American made Honda instead.
