Does anyone have access to your machine (local or remote)? This sounds every odd.

I would imagine dampening how much of a boost old posts get would fix this issue.

I manage them using git and stow.

Stow is very useful, but a bit unknown. Hard to explain in a Lemmy post, but basically it helps you manage symlinks between your git repo directory and your $HOME.

You can “install” and “uninstall” configs by managing the symlinks with stow.

Wait… Linux desktop is beating Apple in Turkey?

Do students use Linux in schools, or is there an economic reason (i.e. Apple products are too expensive to buy with the current inflation)?

It makes sense in terms of reproducibility.

Imagine if your server gets compromised, you accidentally break it, or you just want to move to a cheaper provider or a different server. Do you want to have to tweak it all over again, and fix bugs that you figured out how to fix 6 months ago and you don’t remember?

I’d rather have some yaml files that do it for me. And it’s a new skill as well.

Docker is definitely worth the time investment.

If OP wants to go one level deeper: Ansible.

It’s not ad-friendly, and does not force you to create yet another account in yet another walled garden for big-tech to collect your data.
