  • I actually have an account on there with almost nothing, just my nix configuration, plus a repo I cloned to commit a bug fix on software I used. But it seemed like the most responsible solution as in the price is reasonable, plus I actually like the interface. Codeberg also looks good and claims to be better in some regards, but these are the only choices nowadays.

    Anyhow, I’m still waiting for Pijul to have a final 1.0 release and independent hosting solutions to appear.




  • Also game servers because they’re generally very easy to host at home, and due to generally high RAM and storage needs paying for hosting can be quite pricey.

    Really?

    I thought this was more the case with flexible providers like DigitalOcean. My current provider charges 5,36€ per month for 4 cores (though I assume this corresponds rather to 2 SMT-enabled cores), 6 GB of RAM and a 400 GB SSD. It offers better latency for most players (obviously not for myself) and in most cases has been sufficient regarding performance.


  • Ah, ACLs, had the pleasure of working with these again last weeks.

    It gets really curious when even the Arch wiki doesn’t really know what’s going on (talking about mask and effective permissions):

    The factual accuracy of this article or section is disputed.

    Reason: The original note about the --mask option (which was taken from setfacl(1)) was determined as inaccurate, but the new note does not seem correct either. See the talk page for details.

    From trying, I can confirm that the info presented further down is wrong.

    Once you read what it actually does and why it’s the way it is, it makes more sense - not that I remember it now - but at least there was a coherent design decision behind it
