Attention electron developers: under no circumstances do I want your entire app in .config.
You feel the curling of the monkey’s paw; the entire app is now in ~/.local/AppName
Even better, ~/.local/share/
As an alternative, how about my entire cache in
.config?Looking at you VSCode, with 3 unique cache folders.
It’s still a lot better that creating random .folders per application in your home.
Nah just put it in ~
/.thing-config.d/01-0x45- 110100100-main.options-extra2cache.swpalong with three godzillion other files like it’s normal and very sane for users who edit such files to have the big picture of the default configuration dreamed up by some utterly deranged lunatic be spread across enough files to represent all known stars in the galaxy, standards are for losers amirite /s
The font in the screenshot makes me angry.
Idk what happened there either. After updating from Android 12 to 13, this is how it was ever since. And now I’m used to it.
Konsole once did that to me, and started inserting random tabs.
I like it. Makes me think of teletext
Haha thank you!

Of course. Everything else is hosted on other’s servers, and here I have the choice between dozens of storages, mainly selfhosted ones. The only exception being KeePassXC - but that’s what rclone/rsync are for. So the DB resides on a WebDAV share on my Nextcloud now.

You can self-host bitwarden with vaultwarden.

Oof
XDG? OpenDesktop? Dunno what that is, time to dump everything into ~/.myawesomeapp
Oh, no. Don’t even make it a hidden folder, it needs to be right there, front and center. And make sure you use a bunch of capital letters in the name, because you’re so fucking important.
Android Studio
And Arduino.
At least it gives you the option to change it
Just dump it in
~
Please use
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME(and other XDG base dirs)I’ve been forcing myself to learn to use NixOS with home-manager just to avoid this. Not to worry, it’s just my home.nix that’s a dumpster fire now
I’ve been using Nix for a little more than a year, I don’t think I’ve touched my configs in better than 6 months. I’m honestly not entirely certain what would constitute a dumpster fire in a Nix config
I’ve probably only modified 50 or 60 lines of the default configs.
I do have a folder full of shell.nix files when I need to do a special workflow, like I have one that kicks up wine and sets up mp3tag, another that sets up rust, another sets up Python, and one that sets up for yt-dlp. But I don’t carry anything in my base configs that I don’t use in a given week
I set up a nix os for a friend once. Forgot the master password. It’s been 5 years. Oh well.
Use xdg-ninja to help clear out unwanted files not in your home folder, and give tips to move them into a normal folder like .config
Just give me ~/etc/
Isn’t that just .config?
laughs in home-manager
I keep my home directory nice and tidy in terms of visible files/folders, but as soon as you ls -a there’s so much random shit
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it
I think this picture would be an upgrade from my current situation. It is perfectly normal to have to use sudo find from root to locate anything, isn’t it? It’s especially fun when you don’t remember what the thing you are looking for is called and are trying to guess the name to find.
You’re using sudo when logged in as root?
Is that the Stanley cup in the first image?

First line of my /etc/profile:
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=~/
I just throw lots of dumb shit in my home directory. I actually have the Windows Entertainment Pack for Windows 3.1 in a folder in there. Runs great in WINE. Home directory is great for storing random files.
