Yah so dont use it ! Use Nix instead.

If char is pronounced “care” then surely arr is pronounced “urr”

With money.

I use NixOS on everything ! This way, I can re-use parts of my configuration as a base, and customise only the few things that need to change from one machine to the other.

The only exception is my Steam Deck. I trust Valve on that one, and my usage of it is so different from other computers as to make 95% of my config entirely irrelevant anyway.

I used to make fun of vegans. Now I am one of them x)

Welp. This comment has completely killed all my enthusiasm for matrix 😅 I had no idea it was such a horrible mess under the hood…

I’m trying to move some communities off Discord to something self hosted but I don’t know enough about SMPP to know if it would do the job.

No. In interpreted languages that is kinda true, in compiled languages that is definitely false.

The code is a simplification. It has a direct relationship to what actually happens, yes, but most often glosses over the details (even in C and other very low level languages)

Pretty sure the same soda from cans vs bottles rarely has the same formula. Specifically Coca-Cola, it tastes way different !

Nix is the next step in that evolution. It’s basically just JSON that can generate itself !

Amazing to see Mastodon instead of Bluesky there ! Too many people falling for the Bluesky trap…

I wish Framework had an option for a mechanical keyboard in there, although I understand that would mess up the whole rest of the design to accommodate it.

Can’t you “just” set up openvpn or something ? I’m not sure what CloudFlare tunnels do, I’m a bit of a control freak so delegating to CF always seemed like it’s against my principles or something x)

(Genuinely curious, idk how that stuff works cause I never looked into it)

I can touch type QWERTY, but I struggle on laptop keyboards because it’s easy to lose your position.

I have a Glove80 keyboard on my desktop, it’s very easy to stay put since the keyboard is made exactly so your hands are on the home row.

Honestly if you want to try it on Firefox, they have a few options built-in for alternative DNS !

And I feel your pain, my CS bachelor’s had like 0 courses on Networking, fortunately my current Engineering degree courses have great stuff available, so I’m finally catching up !

There are alternate providers, like Cloud9 or Mullvad !

Self-host or die trying !
