I used to use an old consumer Yoga, and now a new ThinkPad. Some say it’s the wrong way around, I say I want more than 2 cores and 8GiB of RAM. (Un-)Fortunately, I got hooked on the Nix and Tiling-WM drugs quite soon, and so there wasn’t a lot of distrohopping.

Not Linux, and of course the perfect OS.

You should try it, to get a taste of what is possible, then learn what to do, and maybe even stay. But it’s not for beginners, the terminal-phobic, or people that rarely use their PC.

It doesn’t need fiddling, but it invites you to do so. And the default setup is hardly a best practice: swap on a partition, no FDE, no zram… missing FDE in particular will require you to reinstall, and you better have found out how to do proper backups including metadata.

Arch

There are valid use cases for JS and AJAX, but they are few. HTML/CSS is great, and has gotten many new features that can replace JavaScript in the long run: Popovers, commandfor etc. One thing I am missing is opening arbitrary popovers on a long hover. For that, you still need mousemove event listeners.

nix flake update --commit-lock-file && nh os switch

How does Mastodon‘s „Open URL“ work then? It works with the URLs I get from Lemmy, so it does support some other software…

Distros are a matter of taste, and you shouldn‘t judge someone over it. But a bit of friendly fun-poking is alright (e.g. „NixOS user spend all night configuring their PC“). Insults directed directly at a person are never OK. And there are of course distros that are objectively bad (like Ubuntu), and you can criticize their creators, and maybe try to convince the users to choose something else (that‘s where Mint is from, kind of), but you cannot. hate. on. them.

1. Create your own Codeberg repo for your configuration
2. Use Neovim, maybe with Nixvim

The ministry has also asked the European Commission whether Cyprus could issue two different versions of its ID cards, one with parents‘ names and one without, allowing citizens to choose.

While Brussels said EU rules do not prohibit two versions, it warned that doing so is not encouraged, as it could complicate border checks and reduce uniformity. Even so, the Interior Ministry says it is exploring the option after receiving an initial indication from the contractor that it is technically possible.

But the mask is a firewall to prevent viruses from leaving or reaching you, so a firewall on ::1/128

why?

Nix is absolutely not just for CI, the idea is to use it locally as well, so the CI runs in the same environment.

Note that any user listed in nix.settings.trusted-users can place arbitrary directories into the Nix store, and can choose the store key.

I‘d have to rewatch the video, but he used Pop!_OS (with COSMIC) at first, and iirc he switched midway because it was so broken. Elijah used Bazzite, and Luke used CachyOS.

/128

I think you both have an off-by-one error there. It‘s /32 for one device and /31 for 2 devices (selected by the last bit). It feels wrong to have /32 be the entire adress space btw.

Oh no, the three people that still use Oracle Solaris will have to watch out!

LTT did another Linux challenge recently, and this time their verdict was that they‘d all be staying on Linux for their personal PCs (with FakeLinus dual booting Windows, because he needs software there for his job). They did also say that most of their videos will still show Windows, as that is still the primary target of the manufacturers that send them the press kits.
