So, you are telling me that I should throw my time, developing tools for NixOS, out of the window because I will be more free on how to use a damn logo?

If you really feel the need of putting your favorite distro’s logo on a cake, you probably need to touch some grass. Try to have a walk, to meet new people.

I understand, and support, the political aspect of your point, but the cake is a very bad example of the issue.

I can’t understand the reason people choose Jellyfin over Stremio. I gave it a try, and it seems a lot of hassle.

Maybe Jellyfin fits people who download their content in advance, while I make spontaneous decisions.

I have read about guix, but I don’t see any reason to switch from NixOS. Guix seems to be way less mature than Nix.

Besides this, I have dedicated a ton of time developing a framework that manages flakes on NixOS builds. There is no way I would start from scratch, just to leave systemd.

It’s actually called NixOS (talking from personal experience)

Please use $HOME instead of this. There are configurations that do not rely on the usual /home/$USER format. The root user is a good example, having their $HOME set to /root.

/{username}//home/{username}

What is this path supposed to be?

To make it inconvenient enough for non-authorized mechanics to touch the car. Forcing the owner to pay the manufacturer to fix the car.

SSDs are way more efficient than HDDs for swap.

SSDs are electronic, while HDDs are mechanical. This means that moving memory regions (pages) between system RAM and the storage requires:

• physical moves, in the case of HDD
• accessing a different region of the chips, in the case of SSD

Imagine a scenario in which completely unrelated data access requests floods your storage drive. An HDD needs to constantly realign its needle to the requested locations, while the SSD can just re-route its data lines to that location.

No. AI workloads benefit from SSD’s high random read/write performance. Also, I guess, more people starting using SSDs for paging/swap, as RAM prices skyrocketed.

This resulted in an SSD shortage immediately after RAM starting getting expensive. Which in turn caused an HDD shortage, because people need space to store their data.

If I understand correctly, this affects 3d printers that can read STL. What if someone, hypothetically, uses an open source slicer, like Orca, and print from gcode?

You lost the Game

I was hosting it 5 years ago in a 2gb or 4gb VPS. We were able to run 1440p@120hz, if not higher, streams of our games. The server didn’t seem to care much about the load.

If your old piece of software is not available through Flatpak, you can use DistroBox to run your app inside a container with older Debian/Ubuntu.

Out of all the services that Valve offers, you decided to compare their checkout page?

• Valve offers to devs, completely free of charge, full access to their matchmaking network, across any platform
• Valve has vastly improved Windows games compatibility on Linux, by developing Proton. Epic locks users to Windows, because of their anti-cheat.
• Valve revolutionized handheld gaming, by bringing desktop games to portable devices
• Valve requires devs to show in the games’ store page whether it contains AI slop. Epic is a supporter of AI slop

Nuh… We have had 16k for at least 8 years

I used to port forward, but I have stopped doing it. I don’t want to have open ports on the same IP that I use for internet browsing.

I have my local server connected, via WireGuard, to a cheap nearby VPS. All my services are exposed from that VPS.

This configuration also offers full portability to my home server, allowing me to switch to any ISP, or even move to mobile data, if I have to.

For applications that require even lower latency, like remote gaming, I use Tailscale, which can traverse the NATs and create direct connections between the devices.

someone with unmitigated mental health problems are present.

You mean ICE ?

Did you know that Ubuntu actually started as a Hannah Montana Linux spinoff?

And Symbian
