CachyOS is great, much better than Bazzite or Nobara IMO. Been daily driving it on my gaming rig with an NVIDIA GPU for ~9mo. Great performamce, no complaints.

Well, my full functions.sh won’t fit in a comment, so here’s 2 of my more unique functions that makes life a little easier when contributing to busy OSS projects:

Wow - you’ve certainly got a unique perspective on the situation, and I’m grateful that you took the time to share it. Thank you. It’s fascinating to hear from someone who actually worked with the guy.

I can relate to both the Linux struggle and your “I get their PoV but disagree” reaction. Had the same feeling when Kitty’s creator dismissed multiplexers as “a hack” - as a longtime tmux user, that stung. Great tool, but that philosophy never sat right with me. I bounced between most of the more popular terminals for years (Wezterm rocks but has performance issues, Kitty never felt quite right) so I was eager for Ghostty to drop. So far it’s delivered on what I was hoping for (despite needing a minor tweak or two out of the box).

I’m glad you found my last response so helpful. Sounds like exploring alternatives worked out well for you in the end, which is what matters. Cheers. :)

That’s fair, I get the frustration.

I guess I’ve been cutting Mitchell some slack since this is a passion project for him - his goal was to build the modern terminal he always wanted, so an opinionated feature set was always expected. And, new terminals with actual new features need their own terminfo entries, it just comes with the territory. It’ll sort itself out as the databases catch up.

For now, though, you don’t need to address this on an individual host level. I’m in the same boat at work with thousands of servers. If you want to give Ghostty another shot, this wrapper handles the issue automatically, even for servers where AcceptEnv doesn’t include TERM or where SetEnv is disabled:

ssh() {
    if [[ "$TERM" == "xterm-ghostty" ]]; then
        TERM=xterm-256color command ssh "$@"
    else
        command ssh "$@"
    fi
}

Just drop it in your .bashrc (or functions.sh if you rock a modular setup) and SSH connections will auto-switch to compatible terminfo while keeping your local session full-featured. Best of both worlds. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just gotta adjust your TERM value. You can do it per host in your ssh config, if you don’t wanna set it globally. SetEnv TERM=xterm-256color

I’d recommend using OpenTofu (Terraform) for initial provisioning of VMs and then use Ansible for post-provisioning config & management. That way you’re letting both tools play to their strengths.

Did you mean Netbox?

Well, yeah, thats why I’m saying if the action isn’t available directly from Forgejo, just write out the full action URL like the example in my last comment and pull it directly from GitHub. Most/all of the actions you’re pulling from Forgejo are originally forked from GitHub anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

With both Gitea and Forgejo, sometimes you need to hardcode the action URL, like:

https://github.com/actions/setup-java@v4

https://pulpproject.org/

Does docker, pypi, apt, ansible galaxy, etc. I use it at work as part of our undercloud for OpenStack. It’s the go-to for StackHPC, too.

That’s a fair take. The pricing model has changed dramatically since I last looked at it, but at the same time, the dev has obviously put a lot of thought into these changes, so I find it difficult to fault him. He’s gotta make a living somehow.

In general, if someone has more than one Proxmox node to manage, chances are they’ve got some type of homelab, which isn’t exactly the cheapest hobby out there to begin with. If XPipe enhances their experience, I’d say that’s worth a few bucks. If not, they can always git gud in the terminal and do the legwork themselves, but time = $, so…

It’s a free tool that is relevant to a lot of users in both of those communities, and because of the support from those communities, the author was able to pivot to working on xPipe full-time. That’s no small feat for a solo dev, and I for one appreciate seeing these updates.

If you decided to devote all your time and energy to a project that was supposed to pay your bills, would you just sit and twiddle your thumbs thinking “if you build it, they will come”? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Solid choice. It’s been my go-to DNS+DHCP solution for over 5 years and has never let me down. Also a fan of DNSDist+PowerDNS, but for most environments (especially home/lab), Technitium wins by a mile.

Not sure if it’d fit your use case 100%, but this has been a nice middle ground solution for LE certs in my lab: https://www.certwarden.com/

My preferred way of solving this is to run a PowerDNS cluster with DNSDist and keepalived. You get all the redundancy via a single (V)IP.

Technitium is probably more user friendly for greenhorns, though… and offers DHCP too. Beats pihole by a mile.

I started hybrid, but luckily my boss noticed how much more productive I was when WFH. Now I only have to go in every once in a while, think it’s been about a month since my last commute. I really wish more managers/employers would warm up to this concept.

Wezterm is my primary. Love the built-in domain/sshmux features, especially for work. The LUA config rocks, sky is the limit. Highly portable when using something like Chezmoi or YADM.

That said, it’s not always the most performant, especially with certain TUIs. I’ve been running my NVim workspace in Kitty lately just to avoid the minor UI lag (primarily with lazygit). Not a fan of Kitty (or its dev) otherwise, but it serves its purpose.

If Wezterm ever gets optimized, it’ll be the GOAT for me.

Ghostty also sounds like it’s got potential, but haven’t gotten my invite yet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For sure! If you do end up taking it for a spin, feel free to ping me with any questions.
