akshara update hangs with windscribe on
then it just hangs after that
this is what my system.yaml looks like:
193 Replies
That last one isn’t in quotes
I doubt that’s the issue though
Still
does it have to be in quotes? afaik its only needed if there are spaces
Wait why is the repo using http
*impl
it came like that ig
How did that happen
Uh
I need to fix that
💀
I swear it was https when I tested
Must have missed that
i just changed it to https
Try now?
yeah doing
Also that’s a read only mirror from our gitlab
But GitHub has a CDN so we kept the GitHub URL
Also remove docker @lyn
Please
This comes with postman
*podman
alright
You don’t want both
Trust me
why not
Set DOCKER_HOST to your podman socket as explained in my guide
ive had issues in the past with podman and vscode devcontainers
They might conflict
though i think that was bc it was rootless
Set DOCKER_HOST properly
aight
Guides - blendOS
blendOS community guides
Should be in here
Using podman
tis downloading the arch tarball rn
Peak
It got stuck on extraction last time
Or possibly something else
eventually we're going to find that this issue is caused by demons in my computer or something
okay it's started extracting
We can’t cache the installed bits or that causes issues
🤞
I assume the daemon-reload thing worked
Last time
it didnt work last time (nothing seemed to happen)
i rebooted my computer
And that installed windscribe
Windsurf
Whatever
windscribe was already on beforehand
it worked first time
then stopped working afterwards
@lyn, you've gained the level
1computer demons
Try turning it off
very unhappy machine spirits
Yeah doesn’t seem to work for everybody
We don’t know why it’s happening
after i turn it off do i have to restart the update process?
I think there’s a gitlab issue on this if not I’ll make one
I meant turn it off and try the update
Clean up manually if you’re going to ctrl+c
aight
Maybe the VPN is a demon
okay, off
it works
wtf
Huh
We fixed a thing
alright so ill just turn off windscribe whenever i need to update
@autisumn new epic bug I don’t know what the fuck is going on
Not marking as solved
Maybe it’s with VPNs in general or just how windscribe does it
I need to test
is installing like 800 packages normal
I have a proton ovpn file
It installs the whole OS
builds a whole new system each time
Only way this works
cursed
We tried overlaying but that broke things
Arch issues
OCI will fix it
As in you would just do system install package
Overlay the new files over the old ones
That did not work at all
Things broke really fast
😢
i am probably gonna go back to regular old arch
I think you might like v5 :)
But I get it
ty
Still I’ll look into this
welp, wiping time
I thought it could be related to that dig issue
it's weird because this time while akshara update was hanging, dig worked perfectly fine
(i was testing digging new domains)
Strange
ignore the yay
that was me forgetting i wasn't on arch anymore
cc @·𐑡𐑬𐑣𐑱 new band-aid fix?
the machine spirits are not appeased
Nooo
Omarchy?
Neat
blendOS configs are deployable
More so than nix
Because tracks
yeah fuck nix 🔥 🔥 🔥
You can like make your own track repo
Or something
eventually i need to learn how linux systems work, i've been putting off doing LFS for a while
how did you become familiar with GNU/Linux system internals?
Rudra did all the core OS work
Mostly trial and error
I came on later
This was all his idea
system.yaml - blendOS
system.yaml config reference
Also showcases my new kind of config reference
I mean leaf uses it too
smh imagine being a blendos dev and not using blendos
:trollface:
I prefer having control :sobmelt:
I think it’s the future but I don’t like using it
Not yet anyway
My website is so epic right
yeah its a cool site
hey whats going on with my username
No not JavaScript
Nooooo
:trollface:
its so fun to set things to [object Object] and watch js devs go "shit did something happen"
my blog is called [object Object] for that reason
You do know this channel is published to the internet right

its not substack its paragraph

Dear god this looks like shit
😭
Honestly
It’s like medium and sub stack together
I hate hosted blog platforms
Before you say it’s powered by a crypto token there’s a server I’m reading this on and you don’t control it
it's not powered by a crypto token it's just crypto integrated
if i wanted to make it decentralised i would've written on fountain instead
(on fountain, all the data's written to Lens and can be viewed by any Lens client)
My blog runs on serverless
s- serverless?????
You seem like the type to have a gemlog
Cloudflare Pages
blendOS.co is cloudflare pages too
Not the gitlab or repo obviously
obliteration time
Costs us nothing
:trollface:
It’s not AWS resold :sobmelt:
Cloudflare uses their own network
Cloudflare workers is so good vercel uses it on their backend
okay yeah true can't compete with cloudflare
In addition to AWS edge functions use workers
i didnt know this
I don’t need any workers features so i use pages
Vercel also sucks
yeah fuck vercel
They vendor locked nextJS
In addition to charging a bunch for AWS and not notifying you of attacks
Unless you have an enterprise plan then they tell you
Cloudflare tells you for free
Did you expect them to be able to build that themselves
i thought aws had their own edge
AWS just couldn’t compete ig
Workers must have been better
Maybe we’ll buy R2 and put ISOs on it
storj is better
But our current system works fine
Storj - Smarter cloud storage for your business.
Make the switch to Storj and get better global performance, unparalleled security, and save 80% on your cloud costs while cutting your carbon footprint.
@lyn, you've gained the level
2Is jdjdj end shut up
mreow
though now there's a minimum fee of $5/mo which sux
Why is it better
cheaper
Where’s my 10 GB free
they used to have 100GB free but sadly not anymore
R2 gives you 10 and a bunch of r/w operations
With caching you can lower your usage
Cloudflare’s proxy caching
storj is cheaper for larger scale ig, also from my experience with Outline, R2 isn't fully S3 compatible while storj seems to be
They’re working on improving that
But yeah not fully
It should support what we need
Also why use outline when material for mkdocs
Used internally at thousands of companies
Powers blendOS.co
idk it was just on the coolify app list
You can host it on coolify
meow
It’s just Python
mkdocs is Python
The plugins are Python
mkdocs-macros are Python (and allow Jinja2 in your markdown)
i might try that in a future project
im gonna wipe laptop now
ty
Rip vlendOS
*blendOS
RIP blendOS install, 2025-2025
1 day ago - now
We might make the new site with Docus tho lol
Still a thought
===== for the nerds reading this for actual information, the bug-related conversation ended here =====
For the record
Every post is an NFT goddamnit
yeah
coin it :3
Isn't this how they were originally intended to be used? To prove ownership of something digital?
The thing is that’s pointless
Nobody’s going to care about your little entry when I have Win+S
And paying for images is the dumbest thing ever
These aren’t even stock photos
These are unwatermarked (usually bad) artworks that are hosted elsewhere
If I mint the post I don’t get to download it
I can do that for free
I think it’s more of a donation system here
But it has to be crypto bullshit
Because
And uh copyright law already says lyn owns that post
Unless the Paragraph TOS says the company takes ownership of all content
Wait @lyn does it cost money to post
I notice there’s a gas fee or something on your post block
Anyway @·𐑡𐑬𐑣𐑱 peak bug
no
So who pays the gas fee
it's just donation
paragraph pays for it
it's cheap
Generous
How do they make money
idk they're probably VC funded
Also makes it hard to do that yourself
Post on the chain
You should try Gemini
?
I think it would suit you
I'm confused
Gemini Quickstart!
A Quick Start Guide For New Gemini Users
ah thought you were talking about the llm lmao
The Gemini Protocol
there are too many Geminis
Alternative to HTTP
it’s just text
yea I've heard of it
And links and images
But you can do scripting
It’s got its own version of Reddit
Which allows for user blogs
In addition to existing gemlog hosts
I think this is a misunderstanding of what makes people buy NFTs
vitalik wrote a post on this 1s
Aren’t they investments
Or rugpulled
Well that’s an issue
VC investors want a return
NFTs are a very big space
I can prove my shit with PGP already
when you say "nft" it can refer to several different things
in the end they're just records in a contract that implements the ERC-721 API
there's the cultural-speculative NFTs like those ugly monkey pics or milady maker, there's ENS domains, there's fun collectibles, etc
this one falls in the category of fun collectibles
Why would I buy that
because it's fun
That’s like buying GIMP on the Microsoft store
Just donate
not everything has to be hyperfinancial money EV optimization
And donation doesn’t require a million steps
some things can just be fun
like POAPs which are NFTs that some events give out saying "I was here"
😭
????
“Guys check out my PNG saying I was here”
an nft doesn't need to be an image 😭
“I own it because blockchain”
“Check out my text document”
an NFT, at its core, is a record on a contract that implements ERC-721
that's it
Oh
“Check out my blockchain record guys”
“I was there it says so”
yeah
“It’s so valuable”
it's called fun
Yeah it’s free
Minus gas fees
😭 it's not hyperfinancialized it's just fun
I just think it’s weird
It would just collect digital dust
lmao true
Which is a text document
In essence
nuh uh
it's a record linking to possibly offchain metadata
That’s test
*text
fine
I meant it’s a line saying I was here
Proved by the record
yea a poap is just a "I was here" record
proof of attendance protocol
some people pronounce it pope, poe-app, P-O-A-P
What if we we moved to general chat :pleading_classic:
it's not an issue at all
Ok
i have no idea
any info beyond the original post?
Not really and the OP wiped their laptop
They used Windscribe
which client?
@lyn hello
Official one
hi
I think
gui
official
You can ask them
windscribe-v2-bin or whatever it was from aur
well uh my computer is kinda in pieces rn, but i'll try to recreate it sometime
I could do it sometime
alright :3
