I don’t know how you would even compare them. Quadlets can do what Docker Swarm or Kube does with dynamic instances and dependency lifecycle management. Docker Compose doesn’t have nearly the same features as Podman Quadlet.

podman quadlets are next level

Sounds like you want to automate Trash folder management. Why would number 1 require complex rules if number 3 can work with only the rule of delete the oldest file? Wouldn’t the same rule work in both cases?

What are you trying to build/do?

RRDtool refers to Round Robin Database tool. Round robin is a technique that works with a fixed amount of data, and a pointer to the current element. Think of a circle with some dots plotted on the edge. These dots are the places where data can be stored. Draw an arrow from the center of the circle to one of the dots; this is the pointer. When the current data is read or written, the pointer moves to the next element. As we are on a circle there is neither a beginning nor an end, you can go on and on and on. After a while, all the available places will be used and the process automatically reuses old locations. This way, the dataset will not grow in size and therefore requires no maintenance. RRDtool works with Round Robin Databases (RRDs). It stores and retrieves data from them.

I guess I was thinking about it too abstractly.

Something like this? http://www.rrdtool.org/

sorry i am a non-metronome owner and thus cannot relate

Alpine is great for a minimal headless system and it uses OpenRC.

Edit: and also great for a single app setup

I absolutely boycott and deride products and services that benefit or promote people and/or organizations that are anti human rights. That’s not negotiable for me.

However, what I see here are some loud assholes who make a derivative from Devuan (not Devuan itself) and some forum admins with questionable moderation policies in a forum I have never visited. I also don’t see why I should care one way or the other what some cretin like Brian Lunduke (who I only learned about recently) has to say about anything at all.

Even so my use of Devuan only costs the project, without any benefit to them whatsoever.

In short, I refuse to enrich or amplify terrible people. But I will not let terrible people burn down useful open-source infrastructure just by standing near it.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to use Devuan, a project that ships a Debian derivative without Systemd? I can’t imagine a debian install will work right be straightforward to manage and maintain with systemd ripped out of it.

LTT is not a serious tech channel. Its a guy doing anything he can to get views with tech themed content.

that’s the test

I haven’t personally used it but I think that is what pam_time is for.

nice try fbi

Filezilla also does SFTP

How does ot compare to Filezilla?

What a roller coaster!

Going to migrate to infrastructure as code for my documentation

This is the way to do it. Using basic config management and never handjamming anything. I use the git commit log to make notes. That way, later I can check when a file was added or changed and see the explanation for it.

The Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide and Classic Shell Scripting[PDF] are both great IMO.

No Fast Format is needed on a modern linux system with a modern filesystem. Outside of very specific tuned workloads, it won’t make any noticable difference as linux already is detecting and optimizing for the 4k physical sectors.
