AFAIK I’m neurotypical… No, trains of thought like these are common (see also other respondents on here), and they can also happen in the blink of an eye. It’s just that when the question or comment has formed, I’ll make a mental note to either ask/mention it later after the current topic has concluded, if I think the other person also has interest in hearing it, or to google it later if not. Or to just drop the thought if I come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter all that much to myself either.

Managing 30+ machines with NixOS in a single unified config, currently sitting at a total of around 17k lines of nix code.

In other words, I have put a lot of time into this. It was a very steep learning curve, but it’s paid for itself multiple times over by now.

For “newcomers”, my observations can be boiled down to this: if you only manage one machine, it’s not worth it. Maaaaaybe give home-manager a try and see if you like it.

Situation is probably different with things like Silverblue (IMO throwing those kinds of distros in with Guix and NixOS is a bit misleading - very different philosophy and user experience), but I can only talk about Nix here.

With Nix, the real benefit comes once you handle multiple machines. Identical or similar configurations get combined or parametrized. Config values set for Host A can be reused and decisions be made automatically based on it in Host B, for example:

• all hosts know my SSH pub keys from first boot, without ever having to configure anything in any of them
• my NAS IP is set once, all hosts requiring NAS access just reuse it implicitly
• creating new proxmox VMs just means adding, on average, 10 lines of nix config (saying: your ID will be this, you will run that service) and a single command, because the heavy lifting and configuring has already been done, once -…

Chat, is this AI-generated ads on Lemmy?

Are we talking permanent background tracking? Or sending a message “hey, I’m here”?

Hm, habe leider beide nie gespielt. Schon auf protondb.com geschaut, ob die Empfehlungen da helfen? Beide Spiele sind zumindest als Gold angegeben

Tut mir Leid zu hören, welche denn?

Sehr basiert. Pinguin sei mit dir!

Ich kann meine Partnerin leider nicht überzeugen. Sie ist Informatikerin, braucht keinerlei properitäre Weichware, aber lässt sich von den kleinsten Kleinigkeiten abbringen

The original Lego Racers. Works really well on the deck, is Lego themed, and is just an all-round fun game.

Child-me spent countless hours with it, adult-me beat it in under 2 hours. Fair warning though: the title screen song will get stuck in your head

Oh yeah rust tooling is insanely good ootb

Not that I know of! Anyways, for no self-motivated reasons whatsoever, I think your cats have cool names :P

I am named exactly like both of your cats, wtf 😄

I’m too lazy to insert the “look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power” meme here, so… Please imagine it instead.

I’m switching jobs in a couple of months, and I am SO glad to be leaving a (very well maintained!!) python codebase with type hints and mypy for a rust codebase.

It is just not the same.

Bei mir (ewig her) war der Druck und das Leiden schon jahrelang präsent, aber ich hatte quasi keine Bildung im Bezug auf trans Menschen und ihre Erfahrungen. Trans als Begriff war mir irgendwo bekannt, aber als abstraktes Konzept, nicht als Sache, die “ganz normale” Leute wie ich sein konnten.

Hab irgendwann absolut zufällig einen Erfahrungs- bzw. Rauskommensbericht einer trans Frau gelesen, und mit ziemlicher Panik festgestellt: das ist 1:1 mein Erfahren und meine Gefühle. Oh fuck oh shit.

Hat auf einen Schlag jahrelange Ängste und Leiden rekontextualisiert. Bin quasi in einem Nachmittag trans “geworden”.

Glückwunsch, und alles Gute!

At this point, package management is the main differentiating factor between distro (families). Personally, I’m vehemently opposed to erasing those differences.

The “just use flatpak!” crowd is kind of correct when we’re talking solely about Linux newcomers, but if you are at all comfortable with light troubleshooting if/when something breaks, each package manager has something unique und useful to offer. Pacman and the AUR a a good example, but personally, you can wring nixpkgs Fron my cold dead hands.

And so you will never get people to agree on one “standard” way of packaging, because doing your own thing is kind of the spirit of open source software.

But even more importantly, this should not matter to developers. It’s not really their job to package the software, for reasons including that it’s just not reasonable to expect them to cater to all package managers. Let distro maintainers take care of that.

Now if Eelco Doolstra wasn’t fucking around, we could have had a super LTS NixOS - but NOOOO.

My exact thoughts lol

Not really, no

DNS over TLS and similar are only encrypted to the first (local) DNS provider, and of course that provider knows the query as well.

It protects against 3rd-party eavesdroppers between you and your primary DNS provider, but does nothing for privacy beyond that.

Also getting rid of my T1 Diabetes and re-doing my transition, but yeah! Hedonism as well!

Yeaaaaaaahh the auth thing is really, really complicated to selfhost. There’s a docker project out there that apparently makes it possible, but… No idea. FOr the time being I still use FF’s auth - that’s still an improvement though: Mozilla knows that I am logging in / from what kind of device, but not the content or amount of what I sync.
