I like being able to reproduce my set-up from scratch, and I keep notes that let me copy and paste things into Terminal to do it. High-quality mpv, various gsettings, kernel options, Firefox stuff, tweaks, etc; if it sounds interesting and is actually useful, I note it to repeat later
A few other interesting notes I have that I also use on Fedora are:
This was posted to the Mindshare Committee tag, so I moved it instead to The Water Cooler.
Also, this is a great use case for Ansible I have some playbooks that I use to help me maintain my base configuration. All my dotfiles, all my configuration changes, the packages I can’t live without. It is all there. It makes doing a fresh install periodically an easy task.
I moved a lot of note pages around and Linux-specific stuff are now mostly under a linux namespace. Basically everything posted on the first post leads to non-existent pages now.
Heh, my Diablo 2 Linux notes are so good, they mostly work as-is on FreeBSD! (the prefix, set-up with cdkeys, glide wrapper config, and 3dfx launch all flawless)
FreeBSD 14.1 Xfce is going pretty well too! It’s an interesting learning experience so far but it’s awesome how some Linux tricks carry-over to BSD!
Yeah, sometimes I connect to different wifi or tether to phones and if I understand right it defaults to whatever DHCP sets the DNS to instead of localhost. If I don’t care about changing that, then at least DoH still applies on Firefox regardless of connection
