minus-squarepivot_root@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12arrow-down2·1 year agoYou still have devices? I’m over here chilling with my a Rental flat, where I can’t make any modifications or else I’ll be evicted. Free TV that serves me ads, on the condition I don’t tamper with it. Leased car with a heated seat subscription. Vendor-locked iPhone that came with my mobile plan. Netflix subscription that still shows me ads. I’d say the only thing I own is the clothes on my back, but those were repossessed yesterday for nonpayment. /s

minus-squarehperrin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up20arrow-down1·1 year agoI just leave all config in memory. If the user really cared, they would never reboot.
minus-squareCalcProgrammer1@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up11arrow-down1·1 year agoI just hard code all config in the source code. If the user really cared, they would recompile from source.
minus-squareEufalconimorphlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoI deliberately run / and /home as tmpfs. Then everything I want to persist across boots gets symlinked in at system start, and anything I didn’t opt in to saving gets deleted every boot.
