Sounds like a problem specific to RethinkDNS. The by-pass setting on my VPN provider works great. I didn’t have to do anything else.

You just want a desktop version of the apps you already have? Have you tried VLC?

Lol then why are you even bothering with Kodi?

The main alternatives to Kodi are Jellyfin and Plex but I suspect those will have the same problem if your library isn’t organized. How well are NOVA and Infuse handling your library? Like are they able to tell queue up the next episode of a TV show? Because Kodi is basically trying to be more like a local Netflix than “just a video player”.

Jellyfin and Plex are web-based so you’ll get a a far more consistent experience across devices than Kodi. But they’ll generally expect Movies to be in one folder, TV shows in another, and will have some expectations of the file name. They won’t open the file to figure out what movie it is.

What were they doing with AI in Physics and Chemistry? I’ve only heard of Biology/Organic-Chemistry uses.

If this was really the case then the onus would be leftists to articulate in simpler language. You can’t mobilize the common folk if you can speak the common language.

But most of the time its either the liberals lack the prerequisite historical knowledge or they just have antiegalitarian values.

If python is too big for you and you’re dealing with heterogeneous systems then you’re probably stuck with sh as the lowest common denominator between those systems. I’m not aware of any scripting languages that are so portable you can simply install them with one file over scp.

Alternate route is to abandon a scripting interpreter completely and compile a static binary in something like Go and deploy the binary.

There was also some “compile to bash” programming languages that I’ve sneered at because I couldn’t think of a use case but this might be one.

Elixir checks most of those boxes. If you want a good functional scriptibg language, Elixir soynds like the go to. Some lisp language like guile should also be sufficient, and probably have a lighter footprint.

This requirement stands out though:

has a simple/straightforward setup (ideally, it should be a single executable that I can just copy to a remote system, use to run a script and then delete)

Thats basically what ansible does. If you plan on doing this to multiple machines you should just use ansible. Also how do you plan on ensuring the scripting interpreter is installed on the machines?

You’re gonna have to provide way more information than ‘but it don’t work with it’. In what way does it not work? Paste any error messages.

From what I understand you made ~/.config/ and then copied /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua to ~/.config/rc.lua, which is wrong. It should be ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua. See man awesomerc

Its not like ginkos stopped evolving. I’d expect they’d evolve to leverage wind more.

Yeah I only suggested obsidian because its so popular and is completely out-of-the-box.

If you want everything exactly as you want it you’ll need to spend time coding it all yourself. Otherwise you’re shopping around for different tools for specific things. Some editor plugin for notes. Another for tasks. Another for reminders etc.

My issue with task warrior was its syncing service taskd. It required that you generate a self signed ssl certificate. You couldn’t host it behind caddy. But all the issues listed I’m pretty sure it covers. Its extremely robust.

Is there a reason you’re not looking at tools explicitly built for this like orgmode, obsidian, task-warrior, etc? There’s a plethora of these tools and my experience with this is you really don’t want to over-engineer your productivity suite.

That said, if you go the SQL route, sqlite is the way to go. Other SQL databases must be run as a daemon whereas sqlite operates on a local file directly.

However any SQL database isnt going to have the CLI youre asking for. Its interface is… SQL, so you’re scripts are going to have a bunch of SQL code embedded that isnt easily reusable. A non-sql database will probably be better. I’m not familiar with them but I think there’s some that store their data as text files in a folder which is organized a certain way. But that starts looking like the tools I mentioned before.

For some reason you’re trying to install it as a system service so I suspect you need to start it with sudo and probably do the daemon reload with sudo. Not entirely sure its in the right folder but it might be fine.
You can also try systemctl list-unit as a way to debug if its getting found by systemd.

Fwiw I have spotifyd installed as a user service in ~/.config/systemd/user that way I can start and stop it with systemctl --user instead of sudo systemctl. This is important because spotifyd will disconnect and need to be restarted after inactivity.

I’m from there too. I could feel myself slowly becoming that type of libertarian shit head growing up until I moved away. Libertarianism is the only way you can rationalize all the bullshit you see around you and still remain in that environment.

It takes a severe level of willful ignorance to work for the MIC. They’re so close to the contradictions at play that whenever you try to interrogate them on those contradictions they just short circuit in a way. Often they’ll repeat some sort of aphorism.

Replace many federal workers with those who are loyal only to the president

This is the key point that actually makes all this possible. From the wiki

It proposes reclassifying tens of thousands of merit-based federal civil service workers as political appointees in order to replace them with loyal conservatives to further the objectives of the next Republican president.

“Tens of thousands”. There is absolutely not enough young republicans in the nation to replace that many federal workers. The outcome if they fired them anyways would be orders of magnitude worse than the De-Ba’athification of Iraq. Its declaring class war on Northern Virginia and its a fight the GOP would lose.

Thats also roughly the amount of force the Brachiosaurus would need to exert with just stomach and throat muscles to get the vomit up that high. I think they wouldn’t be able to do that and would constantly get heart burn in their 30’ esophagus.

Much more likely is that they lowered their heads in humiliation and let the vomit slide all that way out.

Setting up a custom reverse proxy is time-consuming and requires advanced knowledge of nginx/apache2.

ezpz with Caddy. tailscale + caddy can get this done pretty easily.

Also, not hating on nodejs, but this project screams like it shouldn’t be in nodejs. Maybe if there was a webui included that would make sense. Otherwise I’d expect C or Go.

I have a standing fatwa on snap only because it comes installed and enabled by default on Ubuntu server. Maybe it’s good for grandmas laptop but it’s kill-on-sight in a server environment. Every Ubuntu server I’ve seen has eventually been taken offline without any warning because of snapd doing some auto update.

Ubuntu server should have snapd disabled. Ubuntu shouldn’t be the default distro for VPS providers. AFAIK its only the default because its the distro most people might have prior experience with.

While I’m at it, Fedora is also on my shit list as dnf requires over a gig of memory to do a major version upgrade.

Domed, exoskeleton, this is a beetle.

If MS Authenticator still works with totp urls just like any other authenticator then you can just use some open source authenticator. Some password managers even have one built it.
