minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink119•2 years agoI just write my config files directly to random unused blocks on /dev/sda, filesystems are overrated.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish26•2 years agoNah, dump em’ to /tmp/ and let the user figure out the rest
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink16•2 years agoI just leave all config in memory. If the user really cared, they would never reboot.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink11•2 years agoI just hard code all config in the source code. If the user really cared, they would recompile from source.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•2 years 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.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink12•2 years 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
