I mean, security is an unintended outcome of it. Any kind of isolation of packages provides a level of security.

All of these points are completely correct and paint an accurate picture of the inherent issues with both technologies.

My intent with my earlier comment was to show how flatpaks and appimages were different from traditional package managers at a high level so I could ask what made nixpkgs different from something I felt and still kinda feel is a more accurate comparison which are traditional package managers like apt etc.

The big selling point to me now is that nixpkgs seem to work similarly to virtualenvs from Python which is cool.

So it sounds like nixpkgs is more akin to virtualenvs in Python rather than a traditional package manager. Is that an accurate statement?

If so, I'd recommend that be your selling point because that's some powerful security.

You're not exactly comparing apples to apples here.

Flatpak and appimages tend to be used in any distro because they can just be downloaded in a one off manner and installed then you're running the application (for the most part). They offer a manager of sorts but you don't need it to use the packages.

For nixpkgs, whike I'm sure I can get a package from the sounds of the sizes the package covers only the application or the library, meaning I still need the dependencies.

So what exactly would make me the user trade my built in tools (apt/pacman/dnf) for nix? Keep in mind no matter how great you feel it is, you need to provide reasoning that motivates me to install and learn this new tool instead of the old ones I have.

Never try to move an immovable object.

If you need 4k you're going to need a shit ton of storage. If you go for the good quality profile 4ks you're looking at 50GB easily per file.

Sonarr and Radarr can fetch downloads, yes. You'll need to configure your indexers and then you'll need to set up your download clients. I use a torrent server and sabnzbd.

You'll need a graphics card that can handle transcoding 4k I'm not sure which is best. Ram and CPU won't be the biggest concerns for you.

I can learn everything I need to know about how to be a decent person from cartoons.

Cartoons have always shown me that being a friendly person, who is honest, do right by their friends and tries to do the right thing will guide me well through life. I needed to weed through the friends a little bit but that has held true thus far

Does that mean Republicans are going to vote Biden since they shill Russia?

I don't need permission to have a website. I need to prove I have control over a domain so that I can get a certificate for it. That way I can't get a certificate for lemmy.org when I don't own or control lemmy.org.

I don't know what drug You're smoking friend but please stop. It's giving you brainrot.

Go ahead, submit your credit card details in plain text. I'm sure nothing bad will happen.

Doing alright, probably about to watch someone get super pissed when we uninvite him to the wedding but he kinda really earned it. Lunar New years was great. How're you

After a while we just acknowledged that apple was a meme and let the jokes write themselves.

Diwhy

You'll want to do some research on nzb files and their transfer mechanism. I'd say both nzb and torrents together is the best option because you have redundancy rather than one is better than the other

I love knowing that somehow me smoking weed creates problems for everyone else when all I want to do is stay at home and clean.

My truck has two warnings. I could get them fixed but they don't bother me, it's for features I don't use and I don't care enough.

I thought I was reading a meme

Except I didn't ask them as a joke, I honestly asked "hey is it ok to use 'gay mafia' as a similar term for 'lgbtq+'?" and was told " yeah that's fine it sounds cool anyways"

Its your fault for acting like a dick to people who are ignorant. That was my entire point that you completely ignored. That are ignorant people out who've been fed some bullshit by society about what the gay community is and isn't.

They aren't hateful and would in fact be friends and allies but your approach of "there is no ignorance without hate therefore I'm justified in being a dick!" would result in you being an asshole and guess what, when someone is a dick to other dick people respond with hate even if they didn't already dislike that person to begin with.

Here's an analogy for you, if you go into a forest and find a stick and hit some animal with the stick the animal will respond defensively. It started off scared but not it considers you a threat. That's what you're doing and trying to justify it after the fact.

Edit: I'm adding on to this. Fucking look at MLK Jr. He encountered both hate and ignorance sometimes together and sometimes just ignorance. You never once saw him preach "go be an asshole". I don't agree with always meeting them with love but I do at least agree with him on meeting the ignorance with love and compassion.
