I am regularly amazed that we pretend folders are the right way to organise files. They’re entirely arbitrary. Every competent file system ignores them to its best ability. Why can’t I have a file in two folders? Why does one have to be a “reference”? Why can’t I filter for files that exist in 3 folders with X extension?

We’ve been played for absolute fools.

See, it sounds like you don't know what research is. Research is not when you download a book and read the whole thing front to back. Research in this context is when you have a question and seek a small, self-contained answer.

Use a search engine. Find a PDF that may or may not have what you're looking for. It's not there but the PDF is still good for other stuff so you don't delete it. Go on to the next search result and the next PDF ad nauseam. Soon you've collected a bunch of files and you may not have a precise, ready made answer to your original question but maybe you can build upon the knowledge in the papers you downloaded.

I shouldn't have to explain this to you. The way you use a computer does not apply to how others use a computer. The way you use a computer is not the One True Correct Way™. If you have an inability to put yourself in someone else's shoes, it's your own imagination failing.

>Demonstrably false.
Because you can move any file and rearrange any folder hierarchy, it doesn't matter that it's a pain in the ass to fix it if you did it wrong and you have a lot of files?

>That's not what a filing system does

all “search” algos are on a variation of a b-tree index, so hierarchical filesystems were a way to make it simpler when you had limited compute

main issue is that if you wanna move away from it you need to start filling indexes with other shit to allow people to quick search for files, and that goes against the unix philosophy and its pretty much bloatware

I was like that I kept going back to windows until I used arch it has a steep learning curve but it works well with my hardware without messing around like I was on pop os or an Ubuntu based distro. You can use a script to install it so you don't have to follow all that stuff online but people apparently get angry about that, like literally just plug the usb in an type "archinstall" and then pick what you want. I was on gnome but just recently swapped to xfce because Wayland is a bit shit for Nvidia. I am still learning but all my stuff works on arch even my mic interface which usually never did and my soundcard and I can still play all my games with my mates it's pretty chill. Uses like 1 GB or less of ram on idle and use gamemode to optimise.

back in the day, when I was a young student I went the whole nine yards playing with cyberpunk clothing. Goretex jackets, pants with straps leading nowhere, and a long weird list of accessories.

After years assembling different outfits and fighting over the small sizes of clothes because all the shit came from China, I learned the best cyberpunk clothing has to comply with three basic requirements

>real /cyb/ clothing has to be cheap
The /cyb/ spirit is about having a low life where you live with essential basics, you have to spend on clothing when it is an absolute necessity and not for a fashion statement.

>everything you wear has to be made of good materials made to endure hard environments.
the idea of the genre is that you wear based on pragmatics, the first thing it has to do is to protect you and be comfy

>you have to feel natural inside the context you are in wearing your clothes
artists like scarlxrd, that use techwear or cyberwear look good in front on the cameras with black parkas and wearing tactical vests on top of it, but if you try that kind of outfit in the real world, you are going to feel like a dark clown, it makes no sense to stand out unnecessarily and feel out of place

and the most important lesson of all

/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.

>What software should I run?
Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.

>Why should I have a home server?
De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

docker probably has an internal docker network for containers to talk to each other over a virtual interface. you should probably check into that. I don't use it, but I know this is the kind of abstraction that docker provides that you as a typical user would never know about and it's not obvious that it happens when the only instructions you're given is to run a single docker compose or some shit.

you can't send emails even if you done erything right, the email cartel (microsoft, google, etc..) won't accept any email you send from a home IP or a rented vps IP ever, even if you done erything right including SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. It still goes to spam.
you can receive emails just fine, but if you use it on the internet be aware that eventually your address will get on a spam list and running your own spam filter is tedious. I'd love to hear if anyone has experience with running their own, I suspect it's not a good experience.
you can use it for local mail delivery and that's about it, so I set up my services to send emails for notifications. I get emails when torrent client is done downloading, emails about the network routers monthly stats, weather alerts, UPS power loss alerts.

Well said.
I’d like to add that the only people that contribute to the C++ standard for the last couple of decades are mostly (pseudo) academics with their pet idea and then hit-and-run.

Stroustrup himself abandoned C++ because getting exceptions to work was just too difficult.
Exceptions were another digression away from what C++ was supposed to be, and that was waaaay before it became the teetering superstructure of crap that it’s become today.

Rust picks up too much of C++’s (and some of their worst) misfeatures but continues of the same trajectory. It’s already gone.

Rust was invented to fix a guy’s elevator.
Reboot the elevator? No!! Write a whole new language, no other fix possible.
The mastermind behind Rust didn’t even know basic computer concepts, let alone how something should be implemented thus poisoning all the fruit from that tree.
He thought elevators used C++ in their control software. They don’t.
>>
>>107698866
>The mastermind behind Rust didn’t even know basic computer concepts
https://www.awesome.club/blog/2024/the-fascinating-history-of-rust
>Rust’s journey began in 2006 as Graydon Hoare’s personal project where he drew inspiration from decades-old programming languages like CLU, Erlang, and Limbo, believing their overlooked innovations could solve modern challenges. He defined Rust as “technology from the past come to save the future from itself,” a sentiment echoed by other early developers who described Rust as being based on “mostly decades-old research”.
>For several years, Hoare worked on the project quietly in his free time, sharing it with no one at Mozilla. That changed around 2009, when a small group at Mozilla started taking interest in what he was building. Interestingly, the Rust programming language is named after the Rust fungus, but not for the reasons one might think. The name was chosen simply because the creator liked how it sounded. That said, Rust fungus is also known for its resilience and ability to spread rapidly, providing an apt metaphor for the language’s eventual impact.
>Thanks to the interest his presentation raised, Mozilla began sponsoring Rust in 2010. The newly created Rust team built the language using empiric iteration. The creators knew from the beginning what the final version of the language had to look like, but the path to get there was not clear at all at that time. In the words of Nico Matsakis, one of the core team members of Rust: “It took a long time to figure out how Rust ought to work.” The team experimented with new language features by implementing and testing them. If a feature felt right, it was kept. If not, it was discarded. This iterative approach led to many failed experiments, but it also resulted in the innovative features that define Rust today. Steve Klabnik described this process best: “Rust has lost more features than many languages had in the first place.”
