@sir That was an awesome read!

@sir Would I be correct in interpreting "...the default permissions" to mean that the repository owner could enable public posting if (s)he really likes working that way?

I am all for sane defaults, but I also see the value of options.

@amolith @robby I totally agree. Happily, things like Proton and Vulkan are bringing more and more games to Linux, so I have less and less of a need to worry about keeping Windows for gaming.

Converting my family to use Linux instead is a challenge, though. . .

@amolith A lot of the web developer consultants that I work with prefer using a Mac for Angular/React/Vue/etc development over using Windows for the same.

Personally, I'd use Linux for this type of development, but if my only choices were between Mac and Windows ... I would also pick the Mac.

@ataraxia937@fosstodon.org I voted "Other". Like many of the commenters, I also run with a mix of VPS and in-my-basement servers.

@ph Welcome!

@ma1uta @sir Quoting from the article: "It is just that the modern mail client has intentionally moved towards HTML"

That, right there, is a huge part of the problem.

@amolith That's a nifty feature!

@amolith I don't see the vertical pipe (|) character anywhere. On my QWERTY keyboard, that's the shift key for the right-most character (the \ key that you mapped elsewhere).

Is that a character that you would need enough to make easily accessible on that layer?

@mdewald I only *use* Mastodon, but I still maintain a Twitter account (to easily follow school related accoutns) and a Facebook one (so I can in theory know if people tag me in a photo).

vagrant-libvirt and Bridged Networking

Once I had a way to install virtual machines on my Ubuntu home lab server, my next goal was to be able to directly SSH into them from my laptop. By default, the Vagrant-installed libvirt virtual machines all connect to a virtual subnet. In order to be able to connect from other computers in my home, I needed to set up Bridged Networking. . . .

Trying out ArchLinux using libvirt and Vagrant

I have been curious about the ArchLinux distribution for some time. I have a Ubuntu 20.04 server running in headless mode in my home lab, with KVM + libvirt already set up, so I decided to set up a virtual machine to give Arch a try. . . .
