Don’t you hate it when your computer gets all bricked up?
You can help keep things regular just by adding a little fiber to your network.
If that’s not an option, open a tab to metamucil.io and download a couple packets twice a day.
I thought “bricked up” means having a hard on.
That’s why I don’t store it with the Amontillado.
It’s a good indication you’re about to be fucked.
Or the router, in another state, and the person with access to the closet/server room knows how to push a few buttons at best.
That happens once… and you get misconfigophobia for life.
FYI with many routers, switches, and firewalls there are ways to automatically rollback changes in case the device is unreachable after applying them. Usually the command is called something like “Rollback”.
You usually supply a time limit when you run the command and if you don’t confirm the changes before that time limit it will rollback. So if you run
rollback 30and then do something which breaks the network connection, the config will rollback in 30 seconds. If it does work, you simply cancel the rollback.
It usually happens after I get mad at it.
How do i make a backupand?
Litteringand…litteringand….litteringand…
messing with system
Right meow
It’s a typo. It’s supposed to say backupanda.
The Backupanda is a small black and white Chinese mammal that’s is unaware of the concept of procreation.
How do i make a backupand
Forget add spacing: “backup and”
Why do i now Picture an Elephant making a backup?
It would be nice if RTFM was always an option, but a lot of the time the documentation is woefully incomplete.
What’s there to document? It’s all there in the source code! 😜
Ah yes.
/* return an item's property as identified by 'prop' */ prop_t* getItemProperty(item_t* item, char* prop)The floor is made of floor.
Or it presupposes existing knowledge or configuration.
So so true. A perfect example is anything on any page of man other than 1 may as well not exist.
It’s either woefully incomplete or behind a paywall so someone in the company has access to be you can’t figure out who and eventually just give up.
Is there a term for humor that is ruined by terrible grammar and diction?
Ortographobia.
Brick, laugh, love

Using nixOS has decreased my fear of misconfigobia
same here, using Guix_SD a rollback is all it tekes
What manual?
As a linux noob, I am developing the spider sense of telling when a solution is something reliable and when it’s something that will fuck me up 3 months down the line.
It’s been… Interesting. I still haven’t figured out what’s the sane way to have multiple CUDA coexist peacefully…
…because of improper configuration and messing with system. The best way to heal is to make proper system backupand
read the fucking manual.quit messing with the system.I know it’s like asking a smoker to “just quit”, but…
Jokes on you i use fedora atomic
It’s okay to spell-check articles before screen-shotting them.
Aren’t manuals a weight lifting thing?
I thought manuals were a type of car transmission
I thought you were talking about backups.
this is why I keep my config as minimal as possible and everything I do is up on a GitHub repo
inb4 just use nix, cloning a repo and putting the right files in the right spots is something that can be scripted with relative ease and nix is way overkill unless you’re using it for application deployments in money making incentives
Nixos is amazing, real immutability with absolute recovery.
Well.
Backups? Whats that! Is that where I store a copy of my config file? I havent modified mine in months. Life sure is breezy when I have no reason to tinker. Got so much of it.
wikipedia does not state the best things.
–sincerely, wikipedia nerd
Like how I used GDM-Settings on Pop_OS without knowing GDM-Settings is for OLD gdm, and now I have to use LightDM because I can’t find the config files that are broken in GDM that cause it to have no styling and be black font with trails anytime something moves?
(and yes I have reinstalled it, gnome-shell, pop-theme, etc even with forcing dpkg to re-write over config files. I’ve manually gone through and deleted config files and reinstalled to redownload them, I cannot get GDM back to even default GDM let alone the pop version.)
See this is the exact sort of problem I always had with different flavours of Ubuntu. I’d always muck up my install with misconfigured shit and it would be too much time and effort to fix so I’d have to nuke the whole OS every now and then 😜
I honestly just wish there was some really good GDM docs I could find to make it easy to reset it to default.
The Arch wiki may have some ideas for you - tl;dr is that GDM uses a global
dconfdb over in/etc/and this might be the root of your problem (these configs might not get cleaned up with a--purge?) I’m a LightDM user so best I can do to help: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GDM#dconf_configurationI appreciate the help, I did use dconf editor but I haven’t manually cleared these out and updated dconf I’ll try this out, worst case GDM is still busted.
Update, I have made GDM unusable (not just broken styling), progress!
Wonderful update
