I was testing a custom initramfs that would load a full root into a ramdisk, and when I was going to shut down I tried to run rm -rf --no-preserve-root / to see what would happen, since I was on a ramdisk anyway. The computer would not boot after that because it nuked the UEFI options.

There is nothing like the sound of 2 dozen HDDs unexpectedly spinning down.

I like it better than gitlab, gitlab is too cluttered and has loads of features I don’t need. forgejo will be a lot better when they get federation going though

I like to have different naming schemes for different device classes.
Desktop computers: Greek gods
Laptops: Elements of the periodic table
Cloud servers: Norse gods
Home servers: Planets of the solar system
Raspberry Pis: Greek titans

I was running lemmy on it too until a few days ago. I had an SSD for the database though.
oh and the gitlab instance was the straw that broke the camel’s back for the Pi, I ended up going with forgejo instead.

RPI: Actually dying

Me: Gitlab time

The bot uses smmry.com to make its summaries, it would be easy to make a fork that lowered the amount of sentences in the summary, but it might lose some important details.

EDIT: oops, completely wrong bot, I was looking at another lemmy TL;DR bot on github

EDIT2: should still be quite simple to fork the current one, but I couldn’t find where to reduce the number of sentences

I know, look at the usernames of the replies

Why would you need more than one?
