Generally pretty good, at least for Kebab, burgers, fries, sausage and grilled chicken. Sandwiches are a total niche though. Basically only smaller ones premade at bakeries and shops (premade still referring to made in store, but not upon request).
I don't know, haven't been using Windows since a long time ago, but given the fact that ripping CDs isn't that common nowadays I'd be surprised if a new tool came out that is better than EAC.
Well, this was my perspective from Germany. We don't have and never had a real competing chain. We have McDonald's, Burger King, KFC as big fast food chains. So this is what they compete against here
It's it the best thing ever? No. But when I have the choice between McDonald's, some bread bun with maybe a single slice of salad and subway, the choice is very clear. All their options come with good amounts of veggies, they had decent vegetarian options quite early, their cookies rock and they were one of the few offering free refills.
I dunno what the snobbism is always about. I love it when I need to wait for a train and Subway is an option.
Tethering should work in your installation, as the installer uses an LTS kernel just like the installed system. Use it, edit config to use latest Linux, nixos-rebuild boot, reboot.
Won't fix Ethernet obviously but I don't see the need for reinstallation
Unfortunately, from my testing back when I used Arch, a lot of packages in the AUR didn't meet packaging guidelines, so while quickly writing a PKGBUILD is easy, writing it correctly requires a bit more effort, especially regarding the dependencies. IIRC namcap is often enough, but ideally packages should be built in clean chroots as well to make sure they build everywhere
In the same way words like "antique" and "vintage" bring about specific time periods and aesthetics, "retro" does as well.
In my opinion, "retro" gaming is a misnomer and "vintage" is more fitting for what people usually mean. Retro is something modern or recent made in an older style. Actual old stuff is "vintage". So a game like UFO 50 is actual retro gaming; of course the definition gets more fuzzy when you look at ROM hacks that don't even work on the original hardware of the base ROM. But if you buy an original old console and play the games from back then, that's not really retro by the original definition.
It's a bit of a problem that there's no serious contender to NixOS. Especially Guix is in a good position to become an alternative.
But it will never happen, because of GNU. And before I continue, I want to make clear that this is not to shit on them.
But realistically, only a fork could make it relevant. NixOS, despite its issues (documentation, flakes, whatever), has a massive mindshare: it's a huge repository with very up-to-date packages, a lot of modules, and devshells are just a very handy thing for developers. You often find flakes in random GitHub repositories for that reason. There are sponsored efforts around the distribution (like lanzaboote). There are (semi-)commercial entities set up around it (numtide, determinate systems, tweag...)
The difference between NixOS and Guix is probably so large that no commercial provider would want to put in the required work to bring Guix up to speed, and GNU is committed to other values. As such, I think only a very big volunteer effort could make a difference.
There problem in Germany extends beyond health insurance.
We have a serious lack of medical professionals. I recently went to the dermatologist and from when I booked my visit first l until my issue was treated was about three months. Mind you this was a private doctor's office that doesn't work with public health insurance at all and I took this one because it was the quickest in the general area. My family doctor doesn't take new patients as far as I'm aware. And yet, we put a hard limit on students for medicine - current NC is at 1.0. These are grades that were extremely rare back in my day.
In addition to that, the terms for doctors for public health insurance are... not great. You're basically disincentivized to do it.
I think the best choice would be for the state to provide healthcare itself and have the cost be covered by tax; any additional services can be covered by private health insurance. Technically, this model already exists for soldiers in active service.
And if you do want to leave, perhaps because the cost is getting too much on account of developing serious issues that allow the insurance to charge serious premiums,
Private health insurance can't increase your premiums because of issues you developed during insurance as far as I know. They can only perform an evaluation when you switch plans or the provider: https://www.privat-patienten.de/beitraege/steigt-mein-pkv-beitrag-wenn-ich-schwer-erkranke/ otherwise, everyone in a group gets the same rate hikes, with the group being determined by age, plan and I think gender.
It's not like private health insurance is free from increaseing rates (I got about 10% this year...) it's true that the system is heavily flawed, but it's still far away from how it is in the US.
Cool stuff, thanks.
Now if Sonarr didn't depend on a .NET version that is EOL... recently deactivated it for that reason
