Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Now you have got a good excuse to setup something to manage your knowledge base.

    I recommend markdown:

    • frequently_encountered_issues.md
    • lots of helper scripts scripts
    • Setup guides mostly taken from their respective arch wiki pages but stripped down to only show my custom setup
    • a markdown file per os per machine
    • etc
    • Also link back to the original resources. Still copy them though. The internet is temporary.

    I have a collection of org-mode files and plain text. Moved more to markdown but not for my setup notes yet. But it's still a lot of brain work to match the pieces together and remember what matters.

    Now, I neat idea I heard recently: run a local llm that can index your own notes. I don't know how easy that is. There's an Emacs mode for that, right?

    Sounds like a cool idea. I will add it to my selfhost list.

    I still rely on openai for my llm needs but soon I will evaluate more private and self hosted solutions.

    There probably is. Though I myself use nano (root permissions) and vscode.
