@joel the syntax is not POSIX so you would need to learn something new :P

With keybindings, you can edit the command line in an editor, open a file at the path where the cursor is, list the files on the path where the cursor is

The history is great, you can query it, delete stuff from it using regex. It has more information than the command itself as it needs to know the frequency and where you ran the command to make the command predictions good

It supports multiple VCS out of the box, same for command completion most of the time.

I'd say, try it if you want to know more. Maybe do not make it your default shell as it may be too brutal.

@corvus_ch I have a big template with mostly all gui programs I need in all qubes. In my threat model this not an issue.

Then, when possible, I use simpler qubes for services like audio or VPN or when running appimages

@joel there is a copy / move mechanism between qubes that goes through a xen channel

@tanguyraton people using a single computer for everything, including work, development, personal use :flan_nooo:

@tanguyraton the first day I tried Qubes OS, I formatted a few hours after as I failed to copy/paste a text between two qubes

although, after trying some time later and taking the time to read the documentation (it's quite good in my opinion, although it does not really cover advanced subsystems), I have been able to use it fine :)

@tanguyraton why? :flan_think:

@tanguyraton why? This does not look very special to me

@alois I actually use one VM for browsing knowns and trusted websites. If I had to use weird websites I never used, I could spin a new disposable VM for the task

there is a split-browser setup that allows using a web browser without exposing it to the network, but I did not try it yet.

My virtual machines topology on Qubes OS looks like this (without going too much in details)

- 3 VM per client (web ui, development, administration) + 2 VM per VPN
- 1 VM for my web browser (that resets every start)
- 2 VM for emails (I use 2 emails providers)
- 1 VM for each communication app (matrix, xmpp, whatever)
- 1 VM for handling the audio device
- 1 VM for the network device
- 2 VM for each VPN (clients VPNs, home VPN, infra VPN...)
- 1 VM offline for data storage
- 1 VM offline for secret storage (ssh, gpg, password databases)
- 1 VM for development
- more or less 1 VM for each program I run from there :D

I have 2 VMs per VPN as one holds the VPN and another one is holding the firewall rules under it, so if the VPN is compromised the rules below and upper will not be affected.

below rules affect the VM using the VPN, upper rules affects the VM with the VPN to restrict it only to the VPN destination

@zarel the PLC has a power socket on it, so I can just put the UPS on it when it's plugged on the wall

I have no idea if it's a passthrough, it's this one https://www.eaton.com/gb/en-gb/skuPage.ELP1200IEC.html

@kinderstampfer great! I was pretty sure it was an interruption taking a whole CPU

@as400 is obsdfreqd running? if apmd -A is running too, obsdfreqd fails to start

WTF, I was not able to use PLC (Power-Line Communication) on one wall power socket on which I have my UPS.

But I can use it if it's connected on the UPS connected on the same power socket on which the PLC does not work, this does not make sense?

This does not work

[wall] <- PLC <- UPS

This work

[wall] <- UPS <- PLC

:flan_bored:

I never paid attention to it, but I guess it's been now 3 or 4 years I'm daily using the shell fish.

It came naturally, and I came to love it. I'm using it vanilla (no plugin, no extra config), it just works in all situations I need.

And the best thing with fish, it saves my fingers.

Most of the time, it just guess right / knows what I want to type, so I don't have to type.

This is possible with the history, based on:

- frequency the command is typed
- from which directory a command is typed (I usually type the same commands in the according directories)
- can easily complete filenames based on a fuzzy search (if I want to match something_super_long_to_type, I can just type lon and press tab to complete)

@kinderstampfer could you show the output of systat ?

@as400 did you measure when connected to AC on OpenBSD?

OpenBSD does not throttle the CPU power when connected. I wrote a userland program to handle that https://git.sr.ht/~solene/obsdfreqd

@simonemartelli I hope you will have interesting replies, beyond "X is better than Y" :flan_thumbs:

Let me boost your question!

@prx @batlaizan c'est fait

@michabbb ah! yes indeed, I thought the picture was a screenshot of yours ;)

@michabbb this is surprising, the braille display should be the default 😅
