    Here is a basic way to configure the service:

    But this method has significant drawbacks and probably won’t work for most use cases, so do what works for you.

        And those configs are clearly the result of someone else stitching together three different examples from different versions, with some settings that are silently ignored in the latest version or only exist when compiled with special flags.

      That’s your own darn fault. You were supposed to know the 0.0.1 version was GA instead of assuming 0.0.3-alpha was stable. You would have known if you read the 2000 line README. On the second dependency there is no README though, so just use the latest and hope it’s still compatible.

      Then do some digging and find that the GitHub instructions omitted some particular dependency, make a mental note to contribute a PR to the documentation later once you’ve got it working, get it working, promptly forget contributing that documentation, move distro later, try to reinstall the same program, make the same mistake, same discovery, learn nothing, repeat ad nauseam.

      I’m trying to learn Houdini. I thought, “Oh, I’ll just download a template and see how it should look.”

      Even already-made templates are apparently out-of-my-depth.

        No on Fedora Atomic Desktops for some reason people tell you not to install RPMs, but actually it is unproblematic.

        Unlike OpenSUS microOS, Fedora Atomic Desktops have a reset function to delete all local changes and become 100% upstream.

        The issues really only come with /var, /etc and the user home where config-file-creep grows and you get random errors after doing to much shit with your install.

        But it is still safer to install RPMs on than on dnf Fedora.

        OpenSUS microOS has no advantages over traditional Tumbleweed afaik, apart from the atomic updates that you have a single fallback option.

      The sudo thing should really be explained like “if you want this implemented system wide, run it with sudo, if not, don’t use it”.

        Tighten them but tighten them not too much but make sure not to tighten them too less, I guess

        It means “put all of the screws in the holes in order to start guiding the surfaces that you’re screwing together into the correct position, but don’t firmly tighten down all the screw until you have put all of them in so that you can ensure proper alignment of everything before you lock it in.”

            Yeah, it’s fairly obvious to me as well. That’s basic assembly procedure, you don’t tighten them fully until you have them all in place.

            This manual will just confuse me, I’ll just follow the assembly plan without actually reading it 😁.

        The first one you learned or became fluent in. For example, it’s often English for USA people or Spanish for Spanish people, or Japanese for Japanese people

        Often also called mother tongue or primary language.

        Otherwise, it can be the one you are most comfortable with or default to.

          Ahh, I see, I think it is a translation issue where the tect got too long ant cut. I suppose the missing words are “… too much”.

          That said in my first language: “zie d schruube ah, pass aber uf dass sie ned zu fest aziesch”

              It is a flavour of german talked in Zurich, Switzerland. I personally have some influence from cantons east of Zurich. There are no rules about how to write, we just write phonetically. Official stuff is written in German German.

                Way off the mark then, embarrassing. Particularly since I’m from Southwest Germany, you’d think I’d recognise Schwyzerdütsch. I definitely need more exposure to dialects.

            Oh yeah I think it was a translation issue. Translators have trouble with conjugation and synonyms. But the result is the same.

              That is not just a regional dialect. And in my opinion dialects are more first language than the learning “real language” afterwards. That is clearly the second language…

    English is slightly ambiguous here. As tighten has 2 meanings. Turning a screw clockwise is to tighten it, as opposed to loosen it anticlockwise. But it’s quite loose. Finally, to make it tight and secure, you tighten it with one last turn.

      Shouldn’t “screw in the screw” be used instead of “tighten the screw” when you’re just inserting it fully but not tightening it?
