    Also, how are you starting it? I'm looking at the Arch package in the AUR (not your distro, but just looking), and I notice that it includes a .service file. This means that it would be started as a service, and not as a user, like you're probably attempting to do.








  • Synthead@lemmy.mltoLinux@lemmy.mlWhat exactly does systemd do?

    From man systemd:

    DESCRIPTION
           systemd is a system and service manager for Linux operating systems. When run as first process on boot
           (as PID 1), it acts as init system that brings up and maintains userspace services. Separate instances
           are started for logged-in users to start their services.
    
           systemd is usually not invoked directly by the user, but is installed as the /sbin/init symlink and
           started during early boot. The user manager instances are started automatically through the
           user@.service(5) service.
    
           For compatibility with SysV, if the binary is called as init and is not the first process on the
           machine (PID is not 1), it will execute telinit and pass all command line arguments unmodified. That
           means init and telinit are mostly equivalent when invoked from normal login sessions. See telinit(8)
           for more information.
    
           When run as a system instance, systemd interprets the configuration file system.conf and the files in
           system.conf.d directories; when run as a user instance, systemd interprets the configuration file
           user.conf and the files in user.conf.d directories. See systemd-system.conf(5) for more information.
    


  • Yeah, Ubiquiti has the "great at most things with a point-and-click UI" market down pat. Although, personally, I don't really care about webapp UIs and such for networking gear. Give me a man page and configuration file, and I'll get down to it.

    Here's a small ad block list for your Unifi controller, if it helps: https://github.com/synthead/unifi-adfree





  • The uptime on lemmy.world is terrible. https://lemmy-world.statuspage.io currently shows 95% uptime, but it has been "down" from a UX perspective more than half the time I attempted to use it. The uptime reporting is simply not picking up when something is off as much as it should. And they recently added an archive.org proxy for when it goes down... what the heck? I understand that it is run by volunteers and all, but what a buzzkill.
