    Expect a bunch of people in comments who will deliberately recommend default Arch


    Arch


    Any of them that use the Arch repos directly are probably fine. Don’t use Manjaro.


    Manjaro or Endeavour.


    Just base arch


    Garuda


    Steamos


    Artix + OpenRC


    CachyOS


    EndeavourOS and nothing else.

    I suppose that pretty much covers the full gamut.

    EDIT: Here’s the Linux distro family tree:

    https://github.com/FabioLolix/LinuxTimeline/releases

    It lists 19 still-living Arch-based distros. Disregarding category-based recommendations and looking only at explicitly-named recommendations, as of this writing, you’ve explicitly been recommended 7 so far, or over a third of what exist. :-)


  • How to look it up:

    M-x org-mode RET
    

    That’s “Meta-X” (Alt-X), then “org-mode” and Enter, switches the major mode of the current buffer to org-mode so that we have the org-mode keybindings active.

    C-h k C-c C-x C-l
    

    C-h, Control-H, is the “help” prefix. “C-h k” is describe-key, tells you what a given key sequence runs. C-h k C-c C-x C-l will say what C-c C-x C-l does. It gives the following output:

    C-c C-x C-l runs the command org-latex-preview (found in
    org-mode-map), which is an interactive native-comp-function in
    ‘org.el’.
    
    It is bound to C-c C-x C-l.
    
    (org-latex-preview &optional ARG)
    
    Toggle preview of the LaTeX fragment at point.
    
    If the cursor is on a LaTeX fragment, create the image and
    overlay it over the source code, if there is none.  Remove it
    otherwise.  If there is no fragment at point, display images for
    all fragments in the current section.  With an active region,
    display images for all fragments in the region.
    
    With a ‘C-u’ prefix argument ARG, clear images for all fragments
    in the current section.
    
    With a ‘C-u C-u’ prefix argument ARG, display image for all
    fragments in the buffer.
    
    With a ‘C-u C-u C-u’ prefix argument ARG, clear image for all
    fragments in the buffer.
    






  • “Fallout is the big one,” Middler claimed. “There are multiple Fallout projects in development, including, as far as I’m aware, that one that I’m sure you’re all wanting. It’s not far enough in along to say anything like ‘you’re going to be playing this game anytime soon’.”

    Middler then joked, “Anyway, New Vegas 2, coming soon”. Is this the one we’re “all wanting”? Yes, but then also so is Fallout 3 Remastered, Fallout 5 and even a remake of Fallout 2. The fanbase is rabid, and hungry, and it’s been a long time since they’ve been fulfilled outside of Fallout 76 updates.

    I mean, if Bethesda released all four of those, I’d buy all four.

    I also don’t know what “Fallout 3 Remastered” entails, but if it means forward-porting the content to Starfield’s engine, that’d be pretty cool, though I do wonder how much effort will be required for mod-porting.

    IPv4 has some other features too.

    $ ping 0x8.02004010
    PING 0x8.02004010 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
    64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=116 time=22.8 ms
    

    That’ll be Google’s root DNS server, using hexadecimal and octal representations.








  • I’m not familiar enough with Cloudflare’s error messages — or deployment with Cloudflare — to know what exact behavior that corresponds to, but I’d guess that most likely it can open a TCP connection to port 443 on what it thinks is your server, but it’s not getting HTTPS on that port or your server isn’t configured to serve up the right certificate for that hostname or the web server software running on it is otherwise broken. Might be some sort of intervening firewall.

    I don’t know where your actual server is, may not even be accessible to me. But if you have a Linux machine that can talk to it directly – including, perhaps, the server itself – you should be able to see what certificate it’s handing back via:

    $ openssl s_client -showcerts -servername akaris.space IP-address-of-actual-server:443
    

    That’ll try to establish a TLS connection, will send the specified server name so that if you’re using vhosting on the server, it knows which site to return, and then will tell you what certificate the web server used. Would probably be my first diagnostic step if I thought that there was a problem with the TLS handshake on a machine I was running.

    That might provide enough information to you to let you resolve the issue yourself.

    Beyond that, trying to provide much more information probably isn’t possible without more information about how your server is set up and what actually is working. You can censor IP addresses if you want to keep that private.
