That’s why you put your config files in a git repository

No. I only set up /etc/fstab and /etc/ssh/sshd_config once and they will never change.

Package manager: This package contains an updated sshd_config file, would you like to replace your existing file with the package maintainer’s updated file?

Me, every time: LOL, no

You could set up btrfs snapshots, too. Of course, don’t forget to take a snapshot before you break your configs.

Wouldn’t you need to use btrfs for that?

How well does btrfs work with full disk encryption?

Works great on my laptop. It takes automatic snapshots before and after running the package manager, no problem so far.

1. Follow the site-wide rules
2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of “peasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
