Is oneko the modern-ish version? As this sounds adorable.

No amount of polishing that turd will make me ignore the fundamental user unfriendliness that is nested text drop-downs.

Can you give me an example of this? From my perspective, using something like Kate, the extremely user friendly experience of discovery is vastly better than something like vi. In Kate, I appreciate the discoverability of having a list of options. I recently learned it can interact with LSP’s because of the menus. I don’t use it for that all that much, but it was cool to even know it could do that. Maybe vi is bad comparison, but off the top of my head GTK apps just have the hamburger menu, that then opens up the list of text menu options. Seems like its just hiding the option menus by nesting them in an additional layer of a button.

For the record, I haven’t used a windows computer as anything more than an appliance in over a decade, so maybe the influence is lost on me.

Its got a closer feature set to ZFS (tiered storage is going to be huge for me personally), but a much friendlier license. ZFS’s licensing drama solidly convinced me not to touch it with a ten meter pole. BTRFS isn’t bad as well, I currently use it, but tiered storage is excellent. Was the only reason I used to consider ZFS, but becachefs is getting to have my cake and eat it too.

Rebuild after every config change

This is pretty much the whole point of using nix. The system is declarative, so it rebuilds the parts that changed, because all changes are imperitive and atomic. If it didn’t rebuild your sshd config and restart the service when you changed the accepted key types, what would even be the point? Coming from a huge ansible background nix feels like ansible on steroids.

FHS incompatibility

Why does this matter? Nix manages all your system binaries and PATHs just like any other distro, so why would it matter where they are kept? Programs like type/which still work exactly the same, and nix imports your dependencies exactly as described in the build scripts when you need to compile something locally.

Its honestly refreshing to see a distro really pushing innovation like this by taking advantage of everything Unix systems are built with and doing something this cool.

Of course, those are discreet projects that can be picked out when there is a use case for them. Discreet solutions to problems is the hallmark of Unix systems isn’t it? Any distro maintainer can choose to enable these if they want, as is the admin.

Kinda unfair to call Debian stable old when it just got a new release a few months ago. Sure, in a year or two it’ll start to feel old, but if one were to use flatpaks as you suggested, then Debian stable is perfectly fine, as at that point you aren’t even using the system libs anyway.

Linux desktop updates are handled totally differently than Windows. I don’t even see them, as my distro just has a timer that checks for updates once a day, then updates the whole system in the background. If anything, this behavior is intended for non-power users.

Not just any cheese product, but “Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product”, because they got in trouble with the FDA a couple of times by calling them “food” hilariously.

From the phoronix article it looked very competitive considering it been in official mainline for only a couple of weeks. Was surprise how well it was handling the first SQL tests.

I use NixOS, but before that I was on openSuse. I have not thought about Bluetooth in at all in the last few years. Zero issues. I pair it in KDE’s default bluetooth manager and then never really touched it since. Media keys all work, I control it over WiFi from my phone with kdeconnect no problem.

I think a few months ago I had to turn my headphones off and on again when the quality got really low for a second. Reading this thread I guess I’m extremely lucky? I don’t produce music or anything like that, so I might not be taking advantage I’d some its more exotic features.

EDIT: I am using a basic USB Bluetooth dongle I bought at least 8 years ago for my desktop, and my laptop just uses the built in Bluetooth. If that’s any consolation.

People were uploading, and still are. Uploading a video for my friends, or a school project which needs no return open platforms work perfectly. Irrelevant to my point.

Companies/Content Creators are on the platform because it pays them. If being on youtube did not pay them, they would go to a platform that did, eg twitch, tiktok.

Peertube doesn’t give ad revenue sharing, so most content creators can’t afford to make content for a platform with no return. If someone was uploading a video for their friends, or a school project, then sure, open platforms are perfect.

I know you know, as you already demonstrated your higher understanding. I just wanted to add a little bonus trick for anyone reading that doesn’t know, and is learning from your examples.

That’s wild to me, as I used sed all the time. Quickly and easy changes in configs? Bam sed. Don’t even need to open vi when I can grep for what I need, then swap it with sed. Though I imagine more seasoned vi nerds would be able to do this faster.

3. If you want to split a delimiter separated line and print some field, you need cut. Keep awk for more complicated tasks.

Depends on the delimiter too! For anyone else reading this, sed accepts many kinds of delimiters. sed "s@thing@thing2@g" file.txt is valid. I use this sometimes when parsing/replacing text with lots of slashes (like directory lists) so I can avoid escaping a ton of stuff.

It is AN answer, but also not the only answer. Generating and moving power around is extremely complex and just seeing “Solar cheaper per Watt” and defining it as the best in all cases is silly. If you changed the axis to be size per MWh, then you would draw a totally different conclusion.

Totally fair, but you don’t have to open a port and could do ssh port forwarding if you are already going the ssh X forwarding route. I would try to measure the performance difference between X forwarding and a something like tigervnc. Depending on the specs of your server/clients it might not be very noticeable.

After years of looking at this and working with x11 forwarding off and on. Honestly, just setup a VNC server and use the plethora of VNC clients for android. In my environment it performs better, and significantly easier to maintain. For my desktop I even find myself just using Steam Remoteplay if I need actual GPU performance over the internet.

Virtualgl +VNC is excellent if you get it working.

When you use your “one password” you’re in effect giving your device permission to access the key storage in your TPM to fetch the private key to present it to the site.

Very small correction as I understand, but your private key is never presented. The web service should never interact with the private key directly. Your device is signing some bit of data, then the server uses your public key to verify that it was signed by your private key. Its a small distinction, but is one of the principal uses of asymmetric encryption is that the public key can truly be public knowledge and given to anyone, while the private key is 100% always only accessed by you the user.
