sudo is complex with a lot of code and options.
doas is small, simple & secure from OpenBSD.
If all you want is root priv without remembering two passwords on your box, doas is fine. If you want a complex system of admins and users with fine grained permission control sudo may be a better option.
I use ' su -' much of the time and just use a root shell.
Actively replacing sudo with doas on an OS that includes sudo in the base system seems pointless imo.
su ftw!
Beehaw's fine, no need to promote one side of Lemmy whilst laying into another.
I appreciate the need for variety but personally value safe spaces for discussion over anons right to troll with porn.
The code base needs work to allow safe spaces to exist and integrate with anons trolling now that there are a few million accounts.
It seems much more likely beehaw defeded due to the accounts here lolzing about posting homophobic content everywhere, as the instance owner is apparently gay, & posting knobs all over the feminist spaces. I suspect your take that beehaw action's are to generate income is complete fiction, it's to limit the ability of fuckwits on the server as the current mod tools are shite.

By the time he gets to book 4/5 it's all starting to get a little out of hand for poor George.
Glad to hear.
Looking forward to trying out bcachefs once it's been mainlined.

Easier to keep track of everything they are wrong about and factor that in.

If what I hear it's true than once a NixOS user is up and running adding additional packages and up-streaming them appears to be a fairly simple process.
Something like Arch has ~10,000 packages in the main repo and the AUR has ~70,000 packages. It's hard to get something into the Arch repo, very easy to get something into the AUR. NixOS seems like it may be a middle ground where by the time someone can grok the system they should only be a step or two away from contributing to it.
I'm still clinging on to my samsung s10e and hope to get another year or so out of it....after that I think I'm just gonna bite the bullet and get a dongle dac.
I'm sure it's a factor. I don't use Nix but from what I gather the easiest way to run a package is often to add it, and upstream are pretty accepting. The number isn't that wild if you compare it to something like Arch+AUR. Also Nix wants to do it all and replace stuff like pyp and other native package managers, I think pyp alone is responsible for >5000 nixpkgs.
If you are counting different versions then it's hundreds of thousands...and I think you can mix and match them.
Yes, consider popping in an ssd in place of the hdd if you have a few more pennies to spare.
Between Explaining Computers, Jeff Geerling & Network Chuck on Youtube you should be able to get a server up and running on an old machine. You can then install Lemmy via docker or whatever.
A home network server can be pretty safe & simple, exposing that server to the internet should take a little more thought and planning.
Digital Ocean or similar is likely the simplest way to try it.

Create a $4pm Ubuntu droplet & install Lemmy.
Probably cheaper to run per hour than an old pc and install of the OS is instant and disposable. If you do something stupid or get hacked, you just delete and start fresh.....no need to worry about l33t haxxors all in your home base.

Depends on the system.
