Afraid I don’t have a /dev/sr0. Tbh I built this PC yonks ago, I don’t remember how I plugged in my optical drive. I assume SATA would be the sensible and most likely option.

I’m on Artix Linux with runit if that matters at all?

I mean, it doesn’t matter to me whether or not I can eject my optical drive with a command, but at this point I’m just curious as to where the drive is on the filesystem lol

Edit: I tried loading sr_mod with modprobe sr_mod (which wasn’t loaded for me) but still not seeing any sr* or cdrom in /dev. Again, not too bothered about this, but I’m kinda curious.

pretty much all agriculture, grocery, etc would become luxury and less needed or used.

But if everything is reset every day, you still have the same stock of food available every day, and it never depletes (beyond the depletion that happens in 1 day, but that gets reset quickly). And any money made from selling food is also not kept. I can’t imagine food sellers would be bothered to try enforce their prices when profits etc don’t matter. Maybe food just becomes free. If we’re optimistic, people might prioritise getting food to people who are already starving, since the people who are well-fed won’t be too bothered by going a day without food.

I still have a disk drive but eject doesn’t seem to affect it since for some reason I don’t have a /dev/cdrom. I just checked with the physical eject button on the drive and it is at least still physically working—the tray ejects! I don’t have any optical media to test if the drive still works to read CDs though

I’m just using Obtainium, but I assume they probably will put it on F-Droid soon.

Will have to see long-term if this is a good option of course, as it’s not been long.

Because it’s so simple, a good default config can be a one-liner. For similar functionality to default sudo:

permit persist setenv {PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin} :wheel

Allows members of wheel to run commands as any user (if you just run doas <cmd> it will default to root), and “persists” for 5 minutes, ie if you run doas then for the next 5 minutes in the same session you won’t have to enter your password to run doas again, similar to default sudo settings.

What problems were you having where you couldn’t get it to work?

Very useful for shell scripts that need to do maths as well. I use it to make percentages when stdout has values between 0.0 and 1.0
