- Comment on Dedicated service user or not ? 2 days ago:
What kind of annoying things are you dealing with?
Troubleshooting with a machinectl session, switching between services, backing up… It is small annoyances but if I can avoid them i’d like it.
You don’t have to put the user home in /var/lib either if that helps at all.
I half regret doing it.
If you’re already running rootless, I’d keep doing that unless there’s a really good reason not to.
The plan is about switching to a single user, I will stick to rootless podman this is for sure. It is more about dedicated users or a single one.

I guess I should define my threat model first. Your answer pulls me towards a single user though
- Comment on Dedicated service user or not ? 2 days ago:
I am already running rootless podman. My question is more about dedicated service users vs single user to run everything, still in rootless podman. I like podman and its integration with systemd to manage the life cycle of the container compared to docker.

- Comment on French city of Lyon ditching Microsoft for FOSS 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think so. Our gendarmerie is running a Linux distro since 10ish years, but the National Police is planning to change all the computers for windows 11. They are doing almost the same thing but there is a painful difference in Microsoft’s ass licking

Saddly, Macron is fucking everyone and helping far right to grow. Also, look for nestlé and Élysée. They are fucking corrupt too

In France we have a possibility to get tutored to get more experience before passing the exam. It is basically driving with your parents or people with more than 3 years without accident. If your parents can find time to do some tutoring it could help. I remember how I could feel out of control but having my parents next to me was an insurance that someone was monitoring the traffic and pedestrians around and could tell me to brake if I was focused on something else.

I still find it crazy that basic ID in the USA is not mainstream. In France you have one as soon as you are born (and you need it or password for all national exam).

I don’t know where you are from, but usually, taxes are a way to put money for the community and to redistribute it. In France, it happens with our social safety (health, unemployment, allocations) and to help companies (there is a lot to discuss about this specific point, but it is outside of scope).
Within a liberal economy, you don’t want to forbid abruptely, so you increase the price of something polluting to finance a greener economy.
Now, why this does not work is because capitalism is broken and sending us all to death in war and global warming and because we have corruption problems be it in France or the USA or wherever.
- Comment on Is their any evolutionary benefit to the sneezing reflex when looking at a bright light source, or is it just an evolutionary glitch with no purpose? 1 month ago:
It is more about signal leakage between neurones. The optical nerve is closed to the one controlling sneezing so when the optical is highly excited, it can activate the sneezing nerve.

If this person is scared to have password stored, you can talk them about lesspass. It is available as a website where everything happens inside the browser, a browser plugin or an android app and it uses crypto derivation to generate unique passwords for each site.
- Comment on Video Game Consoles Are Dead · Aftermath 1 month ago:
They are already basic computers, only specific OS. And honestly, I have the feeling that big commercial engines support all platforms (the switch even supports vulkan api). And I feel that eventually, exclusive games end up on PC so why bother? On PC, you even have gogs which is DRM free.

One more proof that everyone should rely on US techs as less as possible (we are still dependant on hardware, but it is coming (ARM, RISCV). For a fucking mail server it is doable, and such organization should have their own infrastructure.

- Comment on Why does Lemmy use "@" instead of ":" like Matrix does? 2 months ago:
I am no dev of lemmy, but traditionally, to connect remotely to a computer it was user@computer.name. The mail addresses simply use this pattern. It’s nice for Lemmy to use it, and I’d say ot would have been nicer for matrix to use it (not that I really care)

Android keyboard, set up in french and I care less about random comments on Lemmy than in my configs. Also, this kind of typo would results in error, not unsafety

That’s why I am not rellying on them for my slefhosting needs
