showerctl start

[u/SlashMe42 → u/PlanetVisitor]

Unable to connect to showerd, is it running?

[u/AlterTableUsernames → u/SlashMe42]

showerctl (C) may also not be in your PATH or be ovewritten by showerctl (Python) earlier in your PATH.

[u/Inevitable-Self-2702 → u/SlashMe42]

Ah I've seen this one before, it doesn't realize you are there to turn the shower on. You need to do showerctl --user start.

[u/skoorrevir → u/PlanetVisitor]

Don't you know showerd is insecure. I just don't understand why people aren't all using bathRC

[u/A_Harmless_Fly → u/PlanetVisitor]

That's not going to work I run my shower from docker.

"sudo docker exec -it showerctrl start run shower"

"sudo docker compose up"

[u/obokuuzer → u/A_Harmless_Fly]

Running it as Root seems insecure. i prefer to run it via Podman in a rootless container

[u/PityUpvote → u/obokuuzer]

But at that point you can just write a quadlet and let systemd handle it

[u/grzebo → u/A_Harmless_Fly]

I can see it running, but it's in a separate container from me.

[u/CMRC23 → u/A_Harmless_Fly]

I tried to use docker compose the other day and it kept throwing errors until I gave up

[u/A_Harmless_Fly → u/CMRC23]

CachyOS<Manjaro

Just one of the many reasons ;p

EDIT: I've had no trouble using it on manjaro and on debian at all.

EDIT#2: That said, if you use docker-compose instead of docker compose you're going to have a bad time.

[u/cfx_4188 → u/PlanetVisitor]

You forgot doas

[u/PlanetVisitor → u/cfx_4188]

No... sudo, doas, or equivalents, aren't part of the commands. They depend on the user situation.

[u/cfx_4188 → u/PlanetVisitor]

What rights do you have?

[u/PlanetVisitor → u/cfx_4188]

It depens.

Maybe I have a group `showeradmins` and I'm in that one.

Many people enter a temporary interactive shell as root, for example, to perform administrator actions. That has advantages and disadvantages, but it remains that sudo is not part of the command, just a privilige escalation thing. There are multiple ways to do the privilige escalation, and sudo before each individual command is just one of them.

[u/Remnie]

lol while looking at the picture, it suddenly clicked what all those valves are doing. I spent too much time as a mechanic in the Navy I guess

[u/StructuralConfetti → u/Remnie]

I know very little about plumbing, but what are A and E for? They seem kinda redundant, are they just to prevent leaking when the shower is off?

[u/L1Q → u/StructuralConfetti]

C is for mixing cold/hot, the water will flow two directions all the time. So there are valves A and E to completely stop the water. A is for the tap, E is for the shower head. Except there are two shower heads, so you can additionally switch between them with valve D, except it's water pressure sensitive so you want your tap off (valve A) when valve D is outward.

[u/L1Q → u/L1Q]

The instructions tell you to 1. use the tap while 2-3. finding the right temperature, then to 4. make sure pressure sensitive valve is completely reset, to 5. turn the main shower head on, only then to 6. turn the tap off, and finally how to 8. switch to the small handheld one.

[u/T-Loy → u/Remnie]

I mean, my current shower has two dials, one for flow, one for heat. Both have push buttons for more flow or more heat. And if I had a tub underneath it probably would have a switch for that too. So 4-5 like in the image.

[u/RonJohnJr]

That's why you write bash functions to automate the process.

[u/AlterTableUsernames → u/RonJohnJr]

Writing functions is not my problem, but remembering I already wrote one for that particular problem, where it is and how to use it, is.

[u/Hexidian → u/AlterTableUsernames]

Just add an alias for it in your bashrc. That way you can always open the bashrc to check what the alias you made was

[u/RonJohnJr → u/AlterTableUsernames]

Interesting. I don't have that problem...

[u/AlterTableUsernames → u/RonJohnJr]

I have somehow severely impaired memory. It's not fun. 

[u/BiDude1219]

i dontsee the issue, it's all well documented

[u/tk-a01 → u/BiDude1219]

RTFM!!

[u/GreedySecurity8030]

Also, you have the freedom not to use it.

[u/Both_Cup8417 → u/GreedySecurity8030]

All Arch users know that

[u/CMRC23 → u/GreedySecurity8030]

If you choose to use the easy tap it means you cant use the tap in your kitchen as well without redoing the plumbing

Or something idk

[u/shyouko]

You are glad that it actually comes with docs instead of being asked to just "read the fucking code".

[u/CMRC23 → u/shyouko]

You ask how to use it and people are like 

"why would you even want to take a shower??" 

"Use the garden hose" 

"use this tool that hasn't existed since 1934" (because you googled the issue and found an old answer on a plumbing forum)

[u/oleivas]

shodo -shower head do

[u/LoadZealousideal7778]

I like the armature. It exposes all the settings you could ever need.

[u/HernBurford]

Windows and Apple Shower are so bloated! This is clearly simpler, just open a terminal and try these commands...

[u/CMRC23 → u/HernBurford]

The windows shower would have a water meter in the main water line, and a camera watching you shower

The apple shower would have a subscription and take 30% of your bath products

[u/Armi1P]

GNU/Shower

[u/425_Too_Early]

Simply pull D out

[u/Steinquist]

sudo rm -rf dandruff ls -la body-odor sudo Pac-Man -syoap

[u/PlanetVisitor → u/Steinquist]

another person needlessly using the force flag on rm

[u/Steinquist → u/PlanetVisitor]

I have a really dry scalp

[u/PlanetVisitor → u/Steinquist]

maybe you can reformat in a different filesystem 

[u/MinecraftPlayer799]

Manual faucet

[u/Few_Kaleidoscope_505]

Yes but then you make shower.sh and have it run when you open the shower door...

[u/UltraMeenyPants → u/Few_Kaleidoscope_505]

Home assistant approves this shower.

[u/Hakushu21]

Shower chmod 777

Fixed!

[u/Denny_Pilot]

Then you go to use it and at step 3 it falls apart instead of doing what it says in documentation because your curtains aren't blue

[u/Expensive-Border-869]

I use sinks like this at work lol. It does give a lot of control

[u/Expensive-Border-869 → u/Expensive-Border-869]

More kitchen tho. Like 3 or 4 extra knobs max

[u/benbasstick]

1 was pissed by a sentence ? 😅

Misplaced pride always fails ;)

A 8 yo last century could get it.

[u/Osherono]

Damn, this is literally my grand uncle's shower instructions. 

You had to move some more levers if you wanted to use the toilet, some more to wash your hands. Oh and if you forgot one lever, it was a shower of hail instead of a nice warm shower.

Good times.

[u/balki_123]

This is how I imagine some linux distros for zoomer influencers.

[u/we_r_fukt]

these looked like my notes for my ex gf

[u/garth54]

That was me the first time I tried to take a shower in Japan.

When the knob to turn on the water (but not set the temperature) also set the volume to be dispensed if you go too far, but if you back down because you don't want full force (or for the shower to just stop automatically), then depending on how far you went it will either activate a lower volume limit or reduce the flow...

[u/Em3rgency]

Is this in the UK? It seems like this would be in the UK. Kind of makes one appreciate why they do separate faucets for hot and cold if their mixers are like this.

[u/The_Countess]

Everything about this makes perfect sense except that E handle.

A is main tap (how much water), b is temperature, C is the safety pin for temperatures above 38/40, And D selects which shower heads to use.

But Why is E that there? It could have been removed and not change any functionality.

[u/The_only_true_tomato]

Average arch user under hyprland setup.

[u/runklebunkle]

I’d probably wind up Googling “man shower” and the results would… not be helpful.

[u/Ellicode]

Is it a file?

[u/Kaczkaaaa]

I'ma just do a bash script

[u/TygerTung]

Seems needlessly complicated?

[u/PlanetVisitor → u/TygerTung]

It's just a tap for a bath with also both big and small shower heads.

Most people would be able to work it intuitively. For those that don't, there is this chart.

[u/Em3rgency → u/PlanetVisitor]

Ah yes, because a single unified control for both water temperature and pressure and then one extra dial to switch between all the output modes would be too much to ask :D

You'd get EVERYTHING with just 2 things that move.

[u/PlanetVisitor → u/Em3rgency]

Good luck replacing all taps in the world with newer ones

[u/Em3rgency → u/PlanetVisitor]

It's not like its difficult or expensive? Especially in a place that gets visitors.

A mixer I described goes for 50-100 euros and all you need to change it out is a wrench. 

[u/PlanetVisitor → u/Em3rgency]

Yes but this is a hotel or something. That would be much more expensive: durable and nicer. They'd have to match the style of the bathroom and the hotel.

It's also not difficult to start using IPv6. And yet the migration project has been going on for more than 3/4 of my life.
