  • My drive to nix was so I could simply manage what packages I had installed with a text file. If I removed something from the file, I expect it to be uninstalled. I never found a tool/wrapper for apt to do this.

    If you want to start with nixos, I would take whatever distro you are on and install nix and then home manager. Then, you can slowly migrate your user configuration over without starting from scratch. That worked really well for me going from ubuntu to nixos.

  • Niri looks really cool. I've used tiling WM before but scrolling is a unique take, perhaps more productive for some folks?

    Nushell is a good one. I do data science for a living and it'd be nice to have the shell handle some small data transformations instead of writing a script in python. But all the syntax and behavior is very different than bash, so I've been afraid to start because of the learning curve.

  • I might be naive, but given how often its being done I have to imagine that of all the project initiatives at Proton, adding LLMs is a relatively easy integration, when you compare it do developing a native application. Im sure theres been work at proton for a long time on those features, its just that the LLM team did this project quickly.

  • Thanks for sharing! The band poster is particularly very cool :)

    I wonder if someone would go so far as to put tags on each of their record albums to do the same thing (kind of odd not actually playing the vinyl, but it'd be easier to play an album!)

  • Not an answer: whats your setup for your cameras/security?

  • Ooh, Ive heard of these. Can you name some of the ways you use them? Do these effectively work as a cheap alternative to a physical switch or can they be used more creatively?

  • Wow thats a crazy trackball! What brand/model is it?

  • I think containers get seen as overhead unfairly sometimes. Yes, its not running on bare metal, so theres a layer of abstraction, but I think in practice the performance is nearly identical. Plus, since AIO does things out of the box for you (like a redis cache for instance) it ends up being more performant than a standalone nextcloud instance that isnt configured properly.

    That is to say, I use AIO without issues.

  • Its a online subscription service but they give you bags from roasters around the world. I see it advertised in youtube videos, and wasnt sure if people had used it to find new brands of coffee they liked.

  • Today, I was trying oolong. But I have black tea as well. No herbals or greens (I think those are the main families, right?)

  • Anyone ever done trade coffee? Is it worth it?

  • Im using nextcloud news and the associated app. I like it because it lets me play podcasts in a player built into the android app. I havent found an up to date rss reader for freshrss that does the same (read you is beautiful, but doesnt have this feature.) And I have nextcloud already up so its easy to start with.

    Theres also many plugins for freshrss, including one for rss-bridge that turns urls into rss feeds. I use this for youtube subscriptions. You could also use rss bridge independently, which is what I use for nextcloud news.

  • I have an 8bitdo, but I needed to learn how to use xboxdrv to get it working and map the buttons correct (nintendo style vs playstation). But now it works well. Unfortunately havent gotten the paddles to work at all with this method, but I hear that isnt possible if its connected as a generic usb device.

  • 10 GB of a database table sounds like a lot of records. Of course if this contained pictures or other media then this wouldnt be much. But I dont know for certain what data was leaked.

  • Okay this looks big as far as data, but is there any information here that isnt (wasnt) already public? This looks like profile information. Isnt all this already available?

  • If you use docker, it doesnt matter the distro. And to use docker, you dont really need to understand how/why it works. As long as you can take an example compose file and spin it up (docker compose up) it'll be less complicated in the long run than managing plex on the host machine (or most software for that matter, which is why containerization is so popular.)

  • Whats the easiest way to contribute to the simplex communication network? When I run a relay node, how do I notify the network that my instance exists
