on the weekend i blew away my ubuntu-server NAS and replaced it with wheezy, all went well because of the similarities and i'm happy that i finally have it all documented i wanted to use a more recent sabnzbd though so i added the jessie repos to my sources.list, set "stable" as the default-release in apt.conf, and ran apt-get for sabnzbdplus with -t testing two questions: is that the best way to do it since it's the only package i want from testing? the pinning stuff seemed overkill for this. when apt gets the dependencies for that package, does it install them from testing too or does it get them from stable if the required version is available?

Notorious b.s.d. posted:i get mad about this poo poo because i was really excited about osx-as-unix-workstation back in the day. apple fed the hysteria, too. they bought ads like this one in sci/tech/trade magazines same, bought a mac for this ten years ago. had the ipod not taken off and led apple into a consumer revival it might have continued down this path. as time went on the money was more with basic end users not professionals so it's understandable they'd concentrate on their disposable income instead of greybeards. apple does the basic stuff really well and although mac os annoys me in almost every way i'd recommend it to my family members in a heartbleed.

cthulhoo posted:putty just passes ~ through i also use windows on the desktop like a man but i switched from putty to using consolez to wrap the bash shell provided by git for windows and it's as good as any terminal i've used. it's also useful for running some of the more basic linux commands in windows without needing a full cygwin install, grepping logs and stuff, but i really only use it for connecting to debian. best desktop os connects to be the best server os, living the dream.

i know nothing of the underlying technology of phone cables and connectors, and yeah it annoys me when yet another one comes out when the previous one was fine, and we'd all be happy if there was just one standard and could share chargers etc. but the lightning connector is the most user friendly electronic thing ever created so i'm glad it exists and makes my life better

Wintering Stinkbug posted:Anyone else prefer the cygwin terminal to putty for remote linuxing on windows? It's the only good use I've found for that POS. yeah I much prefer using a proper shell to putty, which means I can use my regular profile and ssh configs. but cygwin is overkill for that, i installed git for windows, and wrap its bash shell with consolez

Soricidus posted:i've finally had to use windows 8 (well, technically 2012) and the experience has convinced me that neither gnome3 nor unity is the worst possible desktop user interface i'm running both 8.1 and 10 on different machines and although 10 finally dumped the tiled start menu for the desktop i'm doing that already in 8 with start8, and there's nothing else i find compelling about 10. so install that or classic shell (which is not quite as nice but is free) is my recommendation.

i have an old risc pc to fool around with for sentimental reasons which is how i know risc os open exists, but i'm still not clear why it exists. i know it has got new life on the raspberry pi but there are better OSes now, i don't know why you'd bother trying to upgrade such an old one. they were neat in their day but their day was a long time ago.

i've been considering making a tiny vm in kvm on my existing home server, which would have nothing but openvpn (always on) and dante socks proxy so that I could selectively push socks-capable apps on my home network through my vpn. i am aware this is a blunt tool for the job but i cbf messing around with routing rules. could docker, terrible as you make it sound, be a way of achieving same with less overhead than a dedicated vm?

any reason i shouldn't use fedora as a home server? we're using centos servers at work now and i'll be doing work with them so i'm thinking of using it at home. i currently use debian test so that i get more frequent package updates. can i similarly regard fedora server as a more up-to-date centos? or can i configure centos to do that too? thanks pals
