  • NixOS. I distrohopped for years but now I've landed and it has been several years since I felt any urge to explore alternatives (maybe with the exception of Guix, which is basically the same idea but everything is in Guile Scheme (Lisp)).

    I'm never going back to a mutable OS if I can help it.

  • That is why you would want to choose an instance that aligns with your values, so that if they defederate, it is to your benefit.

  • Open Collective is a funding platform unaffiliated with l.w

  • Did you know that not everyone lives in your country

  • I don't know if this is the same question worded differently, but I'm unclear about what is supposed to be synced when a community gets federated.

    Let's say I'm the first one on my instance to sub to a community on another instance. At first it is of course empty because it hasn't been federated, but after a few moments the posts, old and new, start to show up. However, existing votes and comments appear to not get pulled in - only new ones created after the moment the community was initially federated.

    Naturally, I don't expect votes, posts or comments from blocked users or instances to sync. But the rest should be IMO - at least lazily (e.g. only when you visit a post do comments and votes on it get pulled in).

    Edit: it seems that comments and votes do sync after a while, but I can't verify that it's complete (though I assume it is).
