Is this some peasant meme I am too NixOS to understand?

(Joking, joking. A good system settings center is important for graphically managed distros.)

Meh. Each service in its isolated VM and subnet. Plus just generally a good firewall setup. Currently hosting ~10 services plubicly, never had any issue.

Did all that, minus the no ssh root login (only key, obviously) plus one failed attempt, fail2ban permaban.

Have not had any issues, ever

All of them if you configure it?

We were talking about SwiftKey

Who knows?

Unless a piece of software is open source, you cannot know.

A high-quality laptop without any branding.

I’m currently using a 9-year-old, woefully underpowered laptop made by Xiaomi. Full aluminium unibody, and NO logo. Not printed on, not etched in, not glistening only in the right light. NO LOGO.

I’m not a billboard. I’m not responsible for your brand recognition. Ironically though, far more people have come up to me and asked “hey, what laptop is that” than ever would have cared if there was a logo on it.

It also just looks and feels fantastic, all-aluminium-no-logo just looks so sleek.

So yeah. I will not be upgrading until I find another laptop of the same build quality, with no logo. Tuxedo has that option for most of their laptops, but for some reason not for their only current full-aluminium body -.-

Oh, and don’t come at me with stickers.

I switched a couple of months ago, from SwiftKey. Had been using that for ever, long before Microsoft bought it.

NGL, the transition was a bit rough, and the first month my error rate spiked. All good now though, plus Futo has a bunch of super useful features SK never had. Overall, very happy.

Why tho? Over here they don’t need refrigeration, keep longer, and are still salmonella-free. Really unproblematic to eat them raw as well.

I am using both and this somehow made it to my phone, wtaf

Yeah, +1.

I’ve been an avid fan of applocation launchers like rofi and dmenu on the desktop forever, and the “swipe down and immediately search” feels as close as it can get to the mobile equivalent of those.

When I first switched to nix, I made an error copy-pasting my hashed password into a secrets file.

Reninstalled the system 5 times, each time immediately locking myself out, almost

Managing ~35 machines without issues now though.

Dang, oof

FWIW, Lidarr works the worst out of the arr stack for me too. I don’t know if there’s just not enough well indexed material in my sources or what, but yeah, not great.

If your entire experience with the arr stack has been Lidarr so far, give it another shot! Sonarr and Radarr work absolutely perfectly. It’s just such a nice feeling to open Jellyfin (or I guess Plex) on the TV and go “oh nice new episode is out!”

Might even be worth checking if https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware has a straight-up fix for the issue.

• has a dick so utterly ginormous that even the slightest bit of arousal drains a sufficient amount of blood from his system to make him pass out

Yeah :(

Hi. I’m German. I bake my own bread. My parents bake bread. My brother bakes bread.

We freeze the bread after it’s cooled down from being baked.

You know why?

Because that way, it’s great even weeks later.

Sure, nothing beats bread that’s just out of the oven. But honestly, I think I prefer bread that’s been frozen and reheated even to bread that’s only 1-2 days old.

Waaaaaay Less stale.

Yeah. Everytime I’m for a visit, I have to show my mom again how to copy/paste things, access files on her USB drive, where to click to do an update,…

But she loves Bitwarden. Has been app consistent in using random passwords for logins, both on desktop and mobile.

Thanks, but for the little C# I need to write I’ll stick with nvim :D (Yeah yeah I know)

Incidentally, when I started to learn programming, I definitely was using an IDE (I can honestly not remember which one - I was following some book which included the setup of the IDE and instructions for that IDE only).

But even back then it always bugged me that I did not know what was going on in the background. When a button did not do what the book said it would do, that would turn into frustration because I could not understand what had happened, or why something failed. Sure, part of that was just inexperience, but even today, I easily despair at GUIs.

I could for example never get started with Godot because my brain just does not connect all the checkboxes and sliders with what is happening in the background. Bevy, on the other hand, was super easy to pick up precisely because there is no GUI.

Maybe I am just weird.

(Also I do not want to discourage anyone from using GUI tools, I originally just commented to support the “Linux is dev friendly” statement)
