What’s a flatpak? Is that like a worse NixOS package? I prefer NixOS, BTW.

Having all your configuration hidden in ~/.config/, so you can have ~ all to yourself is nice, IMO. Just having a handful of folders (including hidden ones) makes things a little more readable.

What’s a flatpak? Is that like a worse NixOS package?

Uh, just yesterday. Installed NixOS (with KDE) because I learned Debian at work, but am really missing the ability to track what I’ve installed via configuration. I like the idea of dotfiles in a repo, but want a bit more control like that for my OS.

Context: I’m a data engineer that writes Python. Python has pyproject.toml files (toml ~= ini files) where you can specify which libraries you want to use, defining which version you minimally, maximally, or just specifically want. And I wished that setup existed for Debian as well, but it doesn’t. So after searching I found that NixOS is pretty much the closest thing. Windows 10 is EOL soon enough, so might as well switch beforehand and not wait until the last second.

(Seriously what would you even have multiple computers do.)

Setup k3s (pronounces “kubes”) on each computer as a node. Run scalable software - a website, database, some LDAP setup for users, maybe.

Check out /c/selfhosted@lemmy.world for inspiration :D

oof

WHAT THE FUCK IS “POLLUTION”!?

including large volumes of unburned methane

Ooooh. Yeah, that’s bad. Methane is a pretty bad greenhouse gas.

I now have a stack of Thinkpads laying around. Right next to my two RPis 😂

I like LLMs. Instead of making a racket, I just use them, which may make it seem like everyone on Lemmy hates LLMs.

OK, and? A car doesn’t run like a horse either, yet they are still very useful.

I’m fine with the distinction between human reasoning and LLM “reasoning”.

If your ISP is blocking this website, set a DNS in windows to 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare), 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 (Google), 9.9.9.9 (Quad9), https://www.dns0.eu/, or DNS4EU.

Yes, blocking certain sites is done in the Netherlands, due to Stichting BREIN using/abusing our legal system. Nobody likes them, but it is what it is.

PS: I’m using rargb, since it hasn’t been blocked (yet - BREIN has to sue per website being blocked).

Double-bang repeats the previous command. Great if you forget sudo.

$ rm -rf <folder>
permission denied
$ sudo !!

No need for ~ - just cd works as well.

The first two options (autocd and cdspell) have been a lifesaver in fixing my frustrations with the default bash settings (and even lets me stick with bash, instead of feeling I should move to zsh or any other shell.

I can just type a foldername, tabcomplete it and press enter to go there. It’s great.

What if… WSL is a gateway drug to Arch?

Don’t do drugs, kids!

Look what they have to do to mimic a fraction of our power

I think that sounds more like Cygwin.

Yes.

Possibly

I’ve seen the list on the party site. Only 3 .edu, 0 .gov emails.

Disney vs Musk when?
