What is the meaning of life?

Is it better practice to mount drives in /mnt/mountpoint or in /media/user/mountpoint?

[–] boredsquirrel 14 points 4 months ago

/run/media/USERNAME is better and works without root, if you use udisksctl

I've two Mint VMs in Virtualbox. One hosts internal services and has critical data. The other is hosting services exposed to the internet and has no data of value.

I think I can paravirtualize one of these VMs, I think using docker. I'd end up with a single image I could then easily migrate to physical hardware.

Am I on the right track? I've no problem figuring out how. But, I'm not sure which means is best and why.

I would move to KVM as it is faster and easier

[–] SirDerpy@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Fuck. I was overcomplicating it.

Do you have Proxmox cluster? IG you start hosting services that's the way to go. You van start with a single node.

I have figured out how to set up a shortcut to suspend my desctop! (yeah rookie here). My issue is, that it wakes up, whenever someone walks past it. Is there a way to define what wakes my PC (more mouse movement, maybe disable the mouse from waking it?)

[–] anzo@programming.dev 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Interesting! After a search, I can say that apparently you need to config the "file" /proc/acpi/wakeup. However, some claimed the change wouldn't persist (makes sense to me). I wonder if there's a distro specific setting for this... Else, you'd need to write some script for init.d or systemd..!

[–] anzo@programming.dev 1 points 4 months ago

Oh. If you have systemd, you have udev. Then, you want to do the opposite to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Udev#Waking_from_suspend_with_USB_device (see last block in the section, tells you to add that content to the rule 50-*, switches to "enabled" simply put "disabled" instead). Sorry for linking to advanced docs. Hope you can make it and it really work out! Another option would be trying to install powertop, it has many switches but it's graphical and iirc had something to turn USB off... This approach would be more of a last resort, it's a bit of a hack to address your needs. Dunno if it would really work..!

How do I trouble shoot a broken tray icon in swaybar?

[–] anzo@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago

There will be a new sticky soon, for the upcoming week. Allow me to suggest you to ask again there for visibility. Please provide some details, what's broken? E.g. "context menu doesn't open"

[–] tootnbuns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago

Never mind, I just found this post which explains it all.
