wikipedia does not state the best things.

Using nixOS has decreased my fear of misconfigobia
same here, using Guix_SD a rollback is all it tekes
What manual?
Jokes on you i use fedora atomic
Is there a term for humor that is ruined by terrible grammar and diction?
Ortographobia.
Don’t you hate it when your computer gets all bricked up?
It’s a good indication you’re about to be fucked.
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.
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.
It would be nice if RTFM was always an option, but a lot of the time the documentation is woefully incomplete.
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.
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.
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.
How do i make a backupand?
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.
Litteringand…litteringand….litteringand…
messing with system
Right meow
How do i make a backupand
Forget add spacing: “backup and”
Why do i now Picture an Elephant making a backup?
Brick, laugh, love
- Brick, try, cry
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.
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…
It’s okay to spell-check articles before screen-shotting them.
…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…
i have the opposite. i config everything that i understand even a single word from and reinstall the system if something goes wrong. I also got locked out of suse updates once bc messing with the repos. just restarted the vm and it worked
