It’s inevitable
This account was last seen two weeks ago. Still a long time for this user, I think
I’m sure they will emerge soon
Stronger and wiser, having communed with the GURU
You misspelled GNURU.
I have no idea what a gnuru is 😅
“Captain, I’m afraid we’ve lost him.”
But when the Fediverse needed him most, he vanished
I’m installing Pop_OS right now! I’m not expecting it to pull me away from Fedora + KDE, but I’m interested in the new Cosmic Desktop beta. It’s not every day we get a major new DE built entirely from scratch.
Isn’t Nixos the new Arch? Its way more byzantine, still under development, a silicon valley darling and requires learning a new DSL to install packages.
a silicon valley darling
is it really? i had no idea
Its starting to replace ansible/puppet/etc as the IAC tool of choice.
As an example, one of the core nix maintainers works for Anduril, the AI weapons/surveillance company run by right wing shit head Palmer lucky. Ive heard they are deep in the Nix ecosystem. Here is their nixos stig config.
shit I had no idea. That’s a real shame.
I’m sure plenty of non shit heads use it, but yeah.
learning a new DSL to install packages.
This is an understatement. It’s like a build system, package manager, and git repository were thrown in a blender. Those don’t need to be separate systems, but boy does it help pin down what’s going wrong.
Rant:
I noped right the fuck out after 60 minutes of trying to get nix to work as an isolated dev+build environment under Ubuntu. It probably works better under NixOS, but it’s documented for this use-case too. After things stopped lining up with the docs, I realized it was going to cost me more time than it it would save.
I was literally wondering that this morning! Noticed the non-political shitposts had largely dried up, and realized I hadn’t seen TPM for a good minute. Come back, we need you.
I didn’t realize he was back. I remember the last post I read from him stated he was taking a break
TPM: *Wakes up on the floor of the bridge 20 minutes later having experienced installing and removing 20 distros, finally landing on FreeBSD and coding the perfect shell.*
