I kinda wish we could federate jellyfin instances. Just manually, with friends I trust. Would instantly expand everyone’s catalogue.

Are you sure you aren’t either applying nixpkgs overlays, or following master instead of nixos-unstable? I’ve not really experienced anything like you’ve described.

Anyways - I’ve additionally built my own cache server, which builds every output of my flake every time I push to main. System updates are ONLY downloads now. Also allowed all of my low-powered VMs to auto-update, since they’ll never need to build anything at all.

How about only apply to non-FOSS software? Most hobby projects used not just by the author altend to be FOSS, and businesses can decide to go FOSS, making their software independently auditable by anyone, or go through certification.

I guess there’s a danger of a campaign to re-brand FOSS as “uncertified” then…

Worse than just taxing them properly.

Most correct answer possible.

No :(

nixos-rebuild switch

Is there actual REQUIRED upkeep though or could you say fuck it, and go ashore with a tent, row boat and the freshwater and food required for a week?

OK I’m curious. Would I be allowed:

• my blood glucose monitor? (It’s dead weight without a device reading it, but it does have a battery and it’s glued to/pricked into my arm)
• a stand-alone device reading values from it? (Think esp32 with a shitty 1.4" display)
• since I don’t actually own that, my phone for the sole purpose of reading my blood glucose?

Yeah, that’s my point. I never got around to putting things in Debian repos or the AUR because shit seemed unnecessarily complicated. Now on NixOS, I happily help maintain a bunch of packages and modules. Because the packaging, build system, and OS are just sane, stable, and a joy to work with!

Sorry, but calling the dumping ground for obsolete and outdated packages an “OS” goes a little too far in my opinion.

“Smaller userbase yet more stable and more and better maintained packages” is not the insult you thought it was, I’m afraid…

(/s, just in case, hope this is all still in good fun!)

I don’t how hoch you managed to accidentally type “Debian” while you were obviously trying to type NixOS.

Idk it took me 3 attempts to learn (neo)vim, but now every Linux system I SSH in I just go straight for vi(m), because moving around and editing in Nano is just so slow when you’re used to vim keys.

I swear I’m not trying to proselytize. People should use whatever they want, and these discussions are pointless. It’s all just tradeoffs and getting used to things.

• Sourdough Starter
• An SSH private key that might come in handy later

Ohhh that makes sense… Somehow… about Jeff Geerling. He always felt off to me in a way I couldn’t put my finger on. Guess now I have a proper reason not to watch him.

Also yes Alec is fantastic.

I’m not really that purist - I’ll use closed-sourced software when necessary. For example, I have Davinci Resolve and Bitwig Studio installed. Sure I would prefer if those were open, but the target audience here are creatives, who largely won’t care.

On the other hand, Jolla is trying to sell exactly to those people that DO care, which makes the choice so hard to understand and support.

I really like the idea of the Jolla and am seriously considering getting one. I’m also the exact target audience (Linux nerd, privacy conscious, FOSS advocate, want to own MY device fully, hate having to use a US-based duopoly in my current daily life).

That’s exactly why I don’t understand their decision to keep parts of their system closed. The overlap between people who want a Linux phone and who are OK with that Linux phone not being fully open seems to be tiny.

You killed him! NOW IT’S JUST “Lake”!

Lmao this is fantastic, thank you.
