as if math graduates could do that sort of addition in their head

I have no experience with HPC clusters, just dropping in to contribute my opinions on the NixOS stuff.
I won’t be actively maintaining the cluster at all times and find it nice that if someone needs some software I can point them to the configuration and tell them to modify it and then just update the system.
This sounds good in theory, but in practice few people will have the know-how or patience to make changes to your config.
I read that NixOs can have problems with cuda drivers and custom compiled software, which would definitely be a deal breaker.
NixOS is very flexible and you can certainly bake custom compiled software into the builds, but expect a steep learning curve.
I love NixOS but I wouldn’t commend it to people who are at a point in their sysadmin trajectory where they haven’t heard of Ansible. (It’s not just that Nix has a learning curve, it’s that you’re seriously screwed if you can’t tell the difference between a Nix problem and a regular package / kernel issue.)
OP, use Ansible.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Slackware Says No to Age Verification, But Fedora Linux Says Yes
17·5 months agoOff-topic, but isn’t Fedora technically upstream from RHEL?
Lenovo ThinkPads work very nicely with Linux, and there’s a large second-hand market. The T and X series are especially great I find.
The usual advice about avoiding soldered RAM holds in general, but right now used laptops are being bought just for stripping RAM. So I think putting up with soldered RAM in second hand devices (I’d go for at least 32G) can be a smart move because it may be a better deal (and often a smaller form factor).

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•My thoughts shopping around for a wiki solutionEnglish
7·6 months agoHave you tried
Outline?
I recently set it up and I’m very impressed.
This is not difficult to achieve at all with tools like
sedorawk. But unless you provide a concrete example input file or files, all we can do is point to those tools.
The problem is that
/-owill also match something like--my-irrelevant-option.Word boundaries match the end (or the beginning) of the word.
How exactly to do it depends on the regex library, my
lessis built withPCRE2therefore I can do/-o\b.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Caddy reverse proxy fails with a login pageEnglish
5·7 months agoSeems like the router doesn’t like how the headers are passed on. You could try:
login.router.lan { reverse_proxy 192.168.1.1:80 { header_up Host {upstream_hostport} } }https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/reverse_proxy#headers

1·7 months agoIIRC some plugins stopped returning results through the VPN interface that qbittorrent was bound to. I moved on to other methods.
If you’re not averse to CLI and some tinkering, i think
khalmay suit your needs.
I think Gnome + Flatpak is a great setup for GUI only. Fedora is annoying to set up with nonfree drivers and codecs, otherwise it’s a great choice for this.
(Also, don’t try convert your friends, just wait until they come to you and ask for help installing Linux.)
Interesting, seems like a bug in the client.
I disagree, it’s a fitting name, and I don’t have to type it unless I want to link to it.
Awesome, that’s exciting news!

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•IF...If you owned a bookstore where would you classify this book?
3·8 months agoHm, I’d probably get a copy for the fantasy section as well. It really reads like a fantasy adventure.




How does Noctalia compare to DMS? They seem to be very similar projects, and I’m just curious to hear from people who have tried both.
