Hello,
Longtime windoze user (because work, gaming, programming, lazybess, …) I’m switching over to Linux Mint (a slow long process that might finally end up with just a little win-box for the printer and a soft or two) on all my everyday pc:s so I’m trying to get more into the nitty gritty stuff here, and I have long time heard that the:
UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook (4th Edition)
Is like the Linux Bible…
Is it still so? Is it still worth the money or are there better books out there?
Cheers!
I would argue that now, it’s as user friendly as Reddit is. But, alas, now is too late 😔. There was a wave of instances dissappearing over night (vlemmy, fmhy, etc.), mods abusing power and… well, that crowd just felt safer with commercial media. At least their data and shared images won’t drown into oblivion if an instance owner decided to just close shop 🤷.
Weell, I mean it’s not far far away but tell me how to make a correct link on Lemmy (and I will not ask for the meaning of 20047 or the Englishy greenish color 😉):
Seems to work for someone:
https://lemm.ee/post/!art[@[email protected]
Works in a browser:
https://lemmy.ml/c/watercolor
Should work but if I paste it in the search bar of say Jerboa, it doesn’t find anything:
[email protected]
It will all fall together in the end IMO but there are still a couple things to iron out.
Must say I like the smaller world here where everything (almost nothing?) isn’t driven by some dopamine kick selling point😊
For disappearing communities, it’s a shame but I hope it’s just communities thinking they could be new Reddit subs, which IMO is (excepted small established niche subs) very different from at least what I think a Lemmy community ‘should’ be.
We’ll see :-)
I don’t understand what problem you’re trying to describe. The first link is incomplete, and the second one takes me to the watercolour community on Lemmy.ml.
Yeah IDK, it didn’t work yesterday, now they do…
It’s NO in ASCII and I’m not a native English speaker… and this thing doesn’t have auto correct, underline or suggestions 😒 (Jerboa).
The correct way to share a community on Lemmy (so that apps recognize it as a Lemmy community) is with an exclamation mark, as in your last example. The search in Jerboa (as is with other apps) is broken, doesn’t work like it should. Use the web UI search on your instance, you’ll find the community.
Thanks, and it works today, guess my instance had some hiccup yesterday…
Ah yes of course! I was thinking of the leet codes put in stack memory or something 😁 (like IIRC Nintendos DS compiler put 0xDEAD all over it some other was 0xC0FFEE… etc, it was to catch stack overflows).
Hmm… didn’t know that… but that makes sense 👍… the overflows I mean… good tip, thanks 😉.
