archinstall?
Back in my day, we needed to do all of that by hand, and there wasn’t even arch-chroot, no, we had to bind mount dev, proc and and sys manually as well!
Though in fairness, before that, there was the AIF, which I also used, but that doesn’t sound so manly.
Little did arthropods 1 and 3 know that ultimately, they’d just do like 2

I’m not really to to date with the situation, but just because something is written in an EULA doesn’t mean it’s legally enforceable? You might even argue that the modder isn’t an end user in this case and as such, the EULA doesn’t apply.
As long as no copyrighted work is distributed, what is the angle? I just assume that the mod did include copyrighted material, but what if it was purely a patch?

It’s a cool shell, I use it as a daily driver (though I’m keeping a close eye on elvish which syntactically is even further away from classic shell), but the comments read like fish is basically zsh. And while zsh is pretty close to bash, fish isn’t.
Be aware that fish isn’t a POSIX-compatible shell enough, so you have to adjust syntax.
You can make up numbers all you want, at one point, someone has to foot the bill. This isn’t something like Tesla stock where people pay insane money for paper expecting it to just become worth more in the future, this is about physical goods that need to be purchased and operated. You can’t just hold it like stock or a fund. It deprecates and needs to turn a profit.
While operating at a real profit is already difficult enough, the issue sometimes is that they can’t be operated at all, me it because construction gets no permission or the infrastructure just isn’t there.
There are plenty nowadays from what I remember.
pacman is very fast and handy. The (in)famous pacman -Syu had you system completely up to date in record time.
Sometimes I miss its speed and simplicity
I mean peertube exists, and it actually integrates into the fediverse…
Motherboards have risen in price over the years as well, you could have a very decent board at 150€ five years ago but today it feels like you need to pay at least 200 to get anything mid tier. I remember when I checked the price of my board that I bought early 2020 around 2023 or so, the price had gone up. But yeah, if you can’t put memory in your already expensive board, maybe you don’t need to buy a board on the first place.
I’m in the lucky position that my machine is still adequate (3900X / 32GB RAM / 1TB SSD) with only the GPU being weak (5500XT 8GB), but it doesn’t matter for the games I play. So I can sit out another two or three years.
We’ll see how it turns out - I don’t expect the current generative AI investors to make an RoI anytime soon. If at all.
Well, at least for nginx, you can specify the root (or alias if required) directive; to me, it makes very little sense to rely on defaults, you need to specify your servers / virtual hosts anyways, might as well make the configuration more self-documenting…
There’s also https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/linux_file_system_hierarchy/ nowadays, which aims to build on the FHS.
Well, /var/www is in fact not part of the FHS, not even optional… it doesn’t exist on my machines either. I think the better choice would be /srv/www which is an example given at https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch03s17.html
Is /var really such a mystery? I always understood it as the non-volatile system directory that can be written into. Like log files, databases, cache etc. /var/tmp it’s somewhat weird because a non-volatile temporary folder for me is just cache, and /var/lib is named somewhat weird because it doesn’t hold what I’d usually call libraries.
Not pictured: /opt, the raccoon
Not really. SATA SSDs make little sense compared to alternatives because SATA isn’t fast enough to saturate the drives’ throughout. SATA’s strength from my point of view comes in when you want to attach lots of storage for cheap, but that’s better served with HDDs. Sure, there are cases where you might want the fast access times of SSDs but don’t need its bandwidth, and SATA is me ubiquitous than other connectors, but that’s an edge case that seems to be no longer economically viable for Samsung.
Btw, casings that convert M.2 to SATA 3 exist for cheap.

Almost, as I said,
arch-chrootdidn’t exist back then, and while the official method is still manual,archinstallis part of the official ISO, while back then, no helper was provided, so you had to do it manually.
