I instruct Claude to write like peff, writes much better commit messages now

If only the streaming giants would let us stream in decent quality..

Hey Boris, can you teach CC how to use cd?

Personally, CLAUDE_BASH_MAINTAIN_PROJECT_WORKING_DIR=1 made all my cd problems go away (which were only really in cmake-based projects to begin with).

So it does a forced reset of the dirt after each bash command? Does it confuse Claude? I frequently find it lacks path awareness of what it's working directory is

That’s exactly what it does, I’ve found it completely un-confuses Claude Sonnet 4.5.

Linux and the other unices are great for their CLI, but GUIs seem more like an afterthought on that side.

I find KDE Plasma to be much better than Windows and MacOS.

While Plasma is among the better desktop options, it’s still something of an acquired taste, being a significantly different flavor from either mainstream commercial OS (and particularly un-Mac-like). I know some like it, but having used it on various single-purpose machines of my own I don’t think I could make it the desktop of my daily driver or work machines.

Windows is very similar to Plasma and copies it sometimes, but is much worse.

Hard disagree. I find that Linux (particularly but not exclusively Gnome) is actually even better than Windows or Mac OS. I hate having to use Windows or Mac again for how clumsy and poorly thought out they are. It took how long before they finally got Window snapping? And file search is still atrocious on both, and getting worse on Windows.

It always seemed to me the people who deride Linux's desktop GUI are those who actually never bothered to use it, especially not seriously in the past decade.

I’ve been using COSMIC for the past month and it definitely doesn’t feel like an afterthought. Unlike Windows, it has window tiling, for one.

It'll never happen. You can't distribute ZFS under GPL

Comes in binary form from Debian and Ubuntu. I can add it to any other distribution via DKMS. Same core ZFS code as BSD uses.

Honest question - if it comes in binary form, how can you know it's the same core ZFS code BSD uses?

Same as anything else installed as a binary package - you trust the people packaging/providing the binary. If you don't, build it yourself. The source is publicly available.

Or you build it yourself and verify you got the same checksum.

Debian only distributes it in DKMS form, not binary form.

ZFS and jails are two things FreeBSD does very well

Linux has btrfs and multiple containerization and security sandboxing options. ZFS and jails aren't Linux differentiators.

IME the integration with FreeBSD and ZFS just works better than BTRFS and linux distors, and I've read far too many reports about data loss with BTRFS to trust it.

But I definitely believe that everything you can do on FreeBSD, you can also do on Linux. For me it's the complete package though that comes with FreeBSD, and everything being documented in the man pages and the handbook.

ZFS on Linux and BSD share the same code now. Hope this helps.

Sure, but ZFS is much better integrated into FreeBSD. It supports ZFS on root with boot environments out of the box.

And when running a Samba server, it's helpful that FreeBSD supports NFSv4 ACLs when sitting between ZFS and SMB clients; on Linux, Samba has to hack around the lack of NFSv4 ACL support by stashing them in xattrs.

You can arguably get even better ZFS and SMB integration with an Illumos distribution, but for me FreeBSD hits the sweet spot between being nice to use and having the programs I need in its package library.

But on Linux you need to load external modules. Before upgrading or changing kernels you need to check if ZFS supports it. Specially bad in rolling distros.

>you need to check

This can be automated by whatever is updating your kernel.

and pf.

Never had any issues but I've only ever tried to run it on supermicro boards

Do you mean compiler errors or some other kind of error message?

Compiler errors got a lot better during the Scala 2.12 era.

Yes. It might have been errors when using Apache Spark with Apache Zeppelin notebooks. However, I must admit it was long time ago (2015-2016 era).

Claude is pretty good at forgetting to run maven with -am flag, writing bash with heredocs that it's interpreter doesn't weird out on, using the != operator in jq. Maybe Claude has early onset dementia.

Demented AIs running amock is just what we need in this day and age.
