You forgot to update the flake. Also, who uses sudo in this day and age?
katiecakes 7 points a month ago
I'm ignorant here, what's the alternative, just su to root for admin?
ImgurRefugee114 3 points a month ago
Often doas tho I personally prefer sudo-rs rewrite because it solves 99% of the compatibility edgecases

Well I use sudo-rs, and my CI does that for me :p
But tbh it's rare I run rebuild directly anymore. Most of my machines are set up for automatic rebuilds from my remote. Otherwise I use shell app shortcuts that cache the URI to disk so I only need to pass my flake remote or local folderpath once, then all subsequent cmds use it; nup to update the flake lock, nboot or nswitch, and hswitch for home-manager.
(most of my machines use HM nixos module but my main uses standalone for easier tweaking; switching between module and sa is a one-line host change in my config)
I also have ns and nr scripts for aliasing nix shell and run using the flake's lock. e.g. nr u.yt-dlp runs the yt-dlp program from the unstable nixpkgs my host is pinned to; s. for stable. If I need a specific revision then I fall back to the regular nix command.
Using shell apps as cross-shell shortcuts/commands has really changed how I use my terminal.

Please girls, what does the joke mean? I am not a computer gay
katiecakes 42 points a month ago
Sorry! I should have put it in the description, it's a Linux joke about updating Arch Linux, specifically, and that a lot of (definitely not all) trans women use it.
But funnily enough, as the comments show, everyone uses even more obscure distributions.
2hundredpancakes 12 points a month ago
You're fine, thanks for explaining! Sometimes I feel like I'm the only transfemme who doesn't know computers... changing OS on my desktop or phone is scary even though it looks more and more like the smart move these days 😅
katiecakes 2 points a month ago
I kinda want to go back to the days when I didn't know it 😄 You're also definitely not the only one!
Fiona 7 points a month ago
Not even distributions necessarily, just different package-managers that also have support for the AUR. (paru is in fact developed by one of the maintainers of pacman itself, which is one of the reasons for why I’m going with it)
But yeah, Arch requires regular system-updates, that you should kinda do daily, except at some point you get lazy and stop doing them…
rapchee 3 points a month ago
when you update, you also get some news, and sometimes it says critical stuff in there, like new driver version doesn't support certain devices any more, or configuration needs to be redone or something like this
arudesalad 3 points a month ago
Yes but because arch ships updates very close to when app devs release updates there are sometimes (very rarely in my experience) breaking changes that the user needs to fix manually (arch devs always tell users how to but it means automating updates can cause problems)
TechieDamien 1 point a month ago
Sure, just put it in a cron job. There are safer ways too listed on the arch wiki iirc.

Might I interest you in The Good Book that proclaims the saviour who provides upgrades-everlasting?
For this system configuration is not all there is; there is more after it for those who embrace this gift

I've had 3 firmware updates in a row, I didn't have any problems but it must have been a bad week for users with less common hardware...
gusgalarnyk 9 points a month ago
I got flamed on a discord for showing my runtime as like 9 days or something since my last sudo pacman. What is the conventional wisdom for upgrade scheduling? I typically do like once a week but I don't mind if it ends up being once a month. Is that bad?
I was tempted to switch to Nix but the reviews I've seen said it's a lot more work than Arch and there's less compatibility (although i find arch to not really be time intensive but I do have compatibility issues still here and there).
katiecakes 7 points a month ago
Nah people are over zealous these days. I do it on Fridays or when I remember, whatever happens first. And I've been running arch or other rolling release distros for well over 15 years.
These days prompt injection or supply chain attacks are way more likely to pwn you than running 1week old software. (My own thoughts, idk if this is good praxis either.)
But flaming is bad and you shouldn't get that response regardless. Sorry ❤️
gusgalarnyk 2 points 25 days ago
It was a rowdy crowd, I choose to take it in jest. Thanks for this advice, I appreciate it.

FatherPeanut 6 points a month ago
I've been doing my updates routinely, but man, I'll be damned if I let any of my AUR packages update yet. Ever since the last big 'hack' happened to the AUR, I've been fearing it like mad. It may only be four packages, but mmmmmm I've got my concerns.
FatherPeanut 2 points a month ago
I suppose I should give the full story. I have checked them a few times, and two of which had their maintainers altered. Under the recent AUR attack, I believe that's been a requirement for malicious alterations to seep in, yet I don't entirely know what the malicious alterations look like in code. Three of the four packages ship default with CachyOS, with the stray one being added by myself. Conveniently enough, the one I added myself is the one I trust the most and actually feel confident enough in my auditing of.
As for removing unnecessary packages, yeah that's a fair point. Much as I like Cachy for being an easy-to-use Arch based distro, it does bring a handful of bloat with it. Suppose I've just been afraid I'd be removing a dependency.
exu 1 point a month ago
If you use the usual pacman -Rns you can't accidentally remove a dependency. Pacman will warn you about that
For the last attacks, packages just has additional commands running some JS installer. The best way of being sure is reading and understanding the full PKGBUILD and then checking the diffs. In most cases only the version and SHA sums should change on an update.
janonymous 3 points a month ago
Told her to ditch Cachy OS and use Zorin OS instead a few weeks ago and it seems to have stuck
rumschlumpel 3 points a month ago
Zorin is Ubuntu-based instead of Arch-based like Cachy, so regular updates can be run without reading update notices and it doesn't matter whether your last update was yesterday or 3 months ago (obviously bad for security reasons, but it's not going to break anything).
janonymous 1 point a month ago
Just less hassle to set up and maintain. More focused on usability and usable for less experienced users. Basically a more modern and sleeker looking Linux Mint.

- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
