I’m pretty certain that you can turn Relay off in your account settings.
They could still use whatever config format they wanted - this would just be for providing their config schema. It also doesn’t need to be YAML, that’s just the easiest one for me to type on my phone. In fact, I think most schema validation programs rely on JSON as it is.
I also don’t think programs should be required to provide it. Many core programs and kernel modules would likely take years if they ever were able to add it just to avoid the risk of mistakes causing any major issues, especially if they haven’t needed an update in years. There are also many config files that use their own nonstandardized schema. A possibility is that they could be allowed to provide a CLI tool which could update the config or they could just ignore it entirely.
But creating a common schema for… well, the config schema would make it easier for systems to provide a frontend interface for updating your configs.
Seriously - Linux needs a standardized config schema spec. Something that programs should provide which an application can read and provide a frontend interface for the users to adjust config files.
Could be something like:
schema_version: 1.0
application:
name: Poo Analyzer
icon_path: /etc/pooanalyzer/images/icon.png
description: Analyzes photos of poo
schema:
- config_file:
path: /etc/pooanalyzer/conf/poo.conf
conf_type: ini
configs:
- field: poo_directory
type: dir_path
name: Poo Image Directory
description: Directory of Poo Images
icon_path: /etc/pooanalyzer/images/poo.png
- field: poo_type
type: list
name: Poo Types
description: Types of Poo to Analyze
values:
- dog
- cat
- human
- brown bear
icon_path: /etc/pooanalyzer/images/animal.png
...
Any distro could then create any frontend they’d like to manage this - the user could even install their own.
Yeah something like that should be doable but it would require that programs provide a schema and the OS to have a way for the programs to “announce” themselves so it can be aware of the configuration files and the schema.
I’m sure some project could create a GUI that could cover the most common applications, though.
It’s always fun trying to set up a program, learning the config syntax, running it, having it fail, and then spending an hour debugging before you realize it never even read your config changes because you were supposed to use one of the other half dozen conf files it has spread all across your drive. Is it under /etc/
, /usr/local/etc/
, /opt/
, or your home directory?
And, in the meantime, you’ll only destroy your OS maybe a few dozen times!
There are existing standards. The issue is that there are too many different standards and some programs will choose to make their conf files half standardized, half unique.
There’s INI, YAML, JSON, XML, TOML, etc.
Honestly, the Linux team needs to just choose one of these formats, declare it the gold standard, and slowly migrate the config files for most core components over to it. By declaring a standard, you’ll eventually get the developers of most major third-party tools and components to eventually migrate.
No - the US and Europe developed two different methods for handling salmonella.
Starting in the 1970s, the US chose to wash the eggs. The upside is that it eliminates virtually all risk. The downside is that it requires refrigeration throughout the entire supply line, but since they are refrigerated, US eggs last a lot longer; unrefrigerated eggs last about three weeks while refrigerated eggs last about 50 days.
Large portions of Europe didn’t have the infrastructure to support this so the regulators instead chose to vaccinate the chickens. The upside is that no extra steps are required and no extra equipment like refrigerated trucks. The downside is that they don’t last as long.
Both methods work about equally well and are both considered acceptable.

I mean, Washington wanted 2 terms to be the norm.
He didn’t, that’s just a whitewashed version we tell ourselves.
He just didn’t want the President to be viewed as a monarch or a lifetime appointment. He turned down a third term because he feared he would die in office and the public would believe that’s the norm.
If you want a smart vacuum but don’t want to lose your privacy or be reliant on a cloud service, Valetudo is the way to go.
Also got GLaDOS on my Z10 Pro!
Love Valetudo - it integrates so well with HA and is entirely local.
Apparently it’s Athena Linux. At least, that’s what the hackable vacuums use.
People who pour grease down the drain have definitely never unclogged a drain before.
Usually something like half fibers (hair, tampons, “flushable” wipes, etc), half grease and fats.
If it’s a solid at room temp, it probably shouldn’t go down the drain.
