  • I only go there to steal content that I then enhance manually. I always had a kneejerk reaction against the hackernews reposts on Reddit. So, I try to make my content cloning less conspicuous and I make sure to enhance the content with more depth when I bring it here.

  • It's kind of a ghost town so far. But if we can wrestle control of social media away from corporate control, democracy across the world will be stronger for it. Regardless, I'm here for the long haul, making contributions FAR exceeding my efforts on Reddit.

  • Here's my main axe which consists of a Warmoth one-piece roasted swamp ash body and a Warmoth one-piece vintage style roasted quartersawn maple neck. I did a lot to it after Warmoth machined it but it is SO perfect: 🤌🏼

    • Toyota RAV 4 ($18,000)
    • 2013 Apple Macbook Pro (still looks and works like new $3,700)
    • Rancilio Silvia ($450)
    • 2001 Chevy Prizm (at >200k miles, I actually had to scrap it even though it still ran perfectly due to sensor issues $1800)
    • iPhones (absolutely flawless hardware which keeps getting better with each iteration (~$1,000)
    • Canon 5D MKIII ($3,000)
    • Kemper Profiler (still getting free software updates 12 years into its lifespan $1,800)
    • Fluke 87V (the best meter on earth $400)
    • Synology NAS (though I hear they have been enshittified $2,000)
    • Airizer Argo (still going $300)
    • Nvidia Shield Pro ($300)
    • Aeropress ($30)
    • Orphan Espresso LIDO 2 (will outlast me $195)
    • Warmoth guitars ($5,000 for five guitars)
  • I get that they’ll do it soon. But I wish that would be fixed ASAP. The original one was at least better than that new one which is the worst I’ve ever seen on an app this good.

  • Unless you want to run a stake pool on Cardano, you’d have to fork and modify my config.

  • I absolutely adore it. Today, I added a simple bash script to one of my config options that runs just before my nix flake update command that gets the sha256 hash for the latest release of the Cardano-node then writes that hash into my flake.nix file using sed. Then, when I do a flake update that little hash update (that I used to manually do) is also built in.

  • Glad to help! I’m merely standing on the shoulders of the giants before me.

  • 🧌 NixOS 🧌

    I use xmonad/polybar/rofi/dunst with Home Manager and flakes. You could just use my whole config and have it up and running in a day, deleting lines and adding others. Fork it and modify it to meet your preferences (as I did when I forked this amazingly slick config). I even made a custom typeface to add my favorite crypto logos to my Polybar.

  • Why the fuck is Plex even a company? Attention venture capitalists: Get your money grubbing fingers the fuck off decent technologies that should in no way be tied to profit-seeking. We live in a dystopian hellscape.

  • I know it’s a strange place for this conversation but the facts remain: docker images don’t do this and nix flakes actually do. As the video I linked demonstrates and you allude to, Docker files aren’t 100% hermetic (which means they’re not reproducible) while Nix flakes actually do achieve this. Watch the video I linked for more explanation which directly talks about how nix works with the goals of Docker that you mentioned in the head of your last comment. I hope my non-confrontational tone comes across somehow. This is all said with respect and in the spirit of science.

  • No offense but it sounds like you don’t actually understand nix flakes if you think they’re 1:1 equivalent to Docker.

    They simply are not containers. They allow the declarative BUILD of any derivation at any time in the future. They hermetically lock all dependencies and build instructions which allows you to archive and reproduce the EXACT content-addressed dependency graph of the software. You can rebuild using a flake while Docker doesn’t actually allow that same hermetic reproducible guarantee whatsoever.

    See here for a much better explanation of the glaring differences between the two: https://youtu.be/0uixRE8xlbY

    You could even build a container with a flake though I’d recommend OCI instead because they’re an open standard...

  • How long until nix flakes go mainstream and fix this problem?

  • I’m as leftist as they come and I do not support this action. If you don’t want to see it, mute the instance rather than creating an echo chamber.
