but if you're a developer or systems engineer who sees your OS as a critical part of your toolkitโone that should be as reliable and version-controlled as your codeโthen the tough road of NixOS is absolutely worth it.
Is the value added benefit to other systems with regards to the cost really worth it? Btw, I love home manager because it is easy to use (I haven't had problems so far).

Albertaโs Book Ban Is a Blatant Act of Cultural Vandalism
ON MAY 26, Alberta announced that it was entering the book-banning business. โMultiple books found in some school libraries show extremely graphic and age-inappropriate content,โ warned a government press release. To save Albertaโs children from this material, the government promised to act: first, by inviting Albertans to provide feedback on what is โacceptable for school library collections,โ and second, by setting province-wide standards that every school board will be required to implement before classes resume in the fall.When The Tyee pointed out that three of the four targeted books featured LGBTQ+ narratives, Minister of Education and Childcare Demetrios Nicolaides shot back: โThe fact that our actions of protecting young students from seeing porn, child molestation, self-harm and other sexual material in school libraries are being labelled as anti-LGBTQ is frankly irresponsible.โ
Book banners can always be counted upon to deny that label while simultaneously invoking childrenโs innocence to justify the very censorship they disavow. โThis isnโt about banning books,โ Premier Danielle Smith posted on X. โItโs about protecting kids from graphic, sexually explicit content that has no place in a classroom.โ (None of the books appear to have been part of any classroom curriculum, nor were students compelled to read them.)

What do you play in your phone?
We are coming from here.
I'm not gonna lie, guys, neither say the opposite: there are people who play in their phones, I bet you do, so do I. I'm curious to know what do you play in your phones, what kind of "phone gamer" are you. Remember PDAs? The only games that things had were mineswipper, solitaire, chess, sudoku among others. All those are games that perfectly use the touch capabilities of its device, but now, we have more process capacity, and we still have one touch screen (I know, you can touch many points of the screen at the same time). I've always seen the screen of my phone as a one big button, so, I can't play any game that needs more than one touch to be played. I do limit my catalogue of games to those mentioned above, and I really like them. I love sudoku.

Heeby deeby what about the various ways to build fhs environments in nix. My largest complaint is actually that the nix ecosystem has disjointed, incomplete, and incorrect documentation. You can get through it, but it's often best to try reading the code in nixpkgs when things aren't working like the docs say. I've been getting by for a few years now and I don't really even know the nix language, I really should put the time in to learn it but I will when I need to.
I'm very happy with how much nixos just works and doesn't let me break the whole os just because I want to try the latest version of blender ๐

putin is attacking civilians? I thought there was a war going on between the US/Ukraine and Russia, and Ukraine has been supplied with weapons and money enough to cover their entire GDP for 2 years and running.
Ukrainian war pages constantly talk about exchanges of weaponry, but you are saying its a war against civilians eh? Not a war, then?
That certainly waters down the ACTUAL war against civilians (genocide) happening also with US backing. Strange wording.
@nanook I don't watch TV. Haven't for over 20 years. Im a student of history and I do a lot of research, and it isnt confusing or hidden knowledge at all.
Especially since it's all in the congressional record. Did you know the US congress debated the issue, and agreed to quote "allow US congressional funds and weapons to fall into the hands of Azov neonazis", specifically, years before any of this happened? Is the congressional record "tv" friend?

Hello and a big welcome
to everyone new to diaspora*
We're so pleased that you've decided to give diaspora* a try. It's fantastic that you've joined us!
We hope that you quickly find your way here, and enjoy getting connected with people and content.
Here's a few tips for getting started:
- There are some step-by-step tutorials on our project website covering the basics of how diaspora* works, and how to get connected with people. There's a link to these in the side-bar, should you ever want to read them in future, and there's also an in-app Help section you can access through your user menu (at the right-hand end of the header bar).
- You can search for people by name or by diaspora* ID (which looks like an email address), if you know it, from the search field in the header bar. You can invite people to join you in diaspora* by sending them a link to our project website, from where they can choose their own pod to register with. Your friends don't need to be on the same pod as you in order to connect and communicate with you.
- One good way to start getting connected with people is to start following some #tags of subjects that interest you (maybe #music, #photography, #linux, or #activism ... whatever interests you) so that you will see content on those topics in your stream. You can then start following people whose posts you find interesting, by placing them into one of your aspects.
- If you have any questions, post something with the #question or #help tag, and people will try to help you. Make sure to make your post public so anyone who can help is able to see it!
diaspora* has some very simple community guidelines, which we hope everyone will feel able to follow so that all members can have the best possible experience here.
We're trying to improve diaspora* all the time, fixing bugs, honing performance and adding new features. But how fast we can do this is limited by the time developers have. To improve diaspora* faster, we need more developers! If you've just signed up and can code, or know someone who can and who might be interested in joining our team, get in touch!

I really want to like Nix. The idea of declaratively defining my entire system sounds great. I can manage it with Git and even have multiple machines all look the same. I can define my partititioning once and magically get a btrfs disk working. Wow!
But I find the language confusing no matter how many times people say it's easy. I have a lot of experience with other programming languages so maybe it just doesn't mesh. It also gives terrible error messages that are hard for me to understand. And Nixpkgs is unpredictable for what version I'm going to get. One of the services I installed ended up being a release candidate version which was a surprise. What if I don't want the latest version of Docker? How do I pin it? Do I have to duplicate part of Nixpkgs? It just feels like a monorepo where everybody has to be on the same versions. Why on earth do the Nix language docs start by introducing math expressions instead of here is a simple self contained thing that installs one program. Here's how you configure it. Here's how you expand. Why does the dependency graph seem to pull in so many unnecessary dependencies? For example, I tried to build a minimal Docker image (which Nix looks to be a very good fit for), but I couldn't figure out how to strip out dependencies that likely were only used during build for a dependency.
I still like the idea and have managed to get my server defined entirely with NixOS which is very cool, but I can't recommend this to my tech friends because if I'm confused they will be more so.
I have not used Nix, so I may not know what I am talking about.
That said, I have been using Chimera Linux which uses the APK package manager. It works by maintaining a single file in /etc/apk/world that specifies all the packages the user wants on the system. This is used to calculate dependencies and install packages. When you โaddโ and โdelโ packages, all it is really doing is adding and removing from this list. If you remove a package, it will remove all the dependencies too unless they appear in the โworldโ file.
If you do not specify a version number for a package, you get the latest. But you can pin versions of you want.
If you copy the world file from one system to another, you get the same set of installed packages.
So, if I use git to backup my world file, maybe a couple of other entries in /etc, and the dot files in my home directory, I have pretty much everything I need to completely recreate my system.
Is it really worth all the extra complexity of Nix?

I don't know exactly what model water fountains they installed out there, but they look like the one on the left, totally rusted out now.
Probably not supposed to be installed outdoors, but they did.. ๐คท
Outdoor ones typically get made of material that doesn't rust. But if it's going to be inside they might as well make them out of nicer materials.
I'm pretty sure that most outdoor water fountains I've ever seen are actually made of concrete.
If I remember later today, I might take a photo of the pair of water fountains at our park. The top stainless steel side looks perfectly fine, but the metal panel underneath both of them is totally rusted out. I'm pretty sure they disabled/disconnected both of them.
Not sure where I might post the photo though, guess I might post under Nowhere Else To Post.. ๐คท

Friend of mine is crowdfunding the English translation of his book, "Unboxing Fabris", which is actually two books.
My friend is a HEMA instructor, and together with master รscar Torres, he has studied, analysed, break down and rebuild the techniques of Italian master Salvator Fabris.
They have condensed all this work in the first book, and written a full training method in the second. The whole thing is illustrated with a ton of photos.
I have the Spanish version and I can only recommend it.

Fin spotted close to Nova Scotia beach forces swimmers out of water
QUEENSLAND - Swimmers at a busy Nova Scotia beach were forced out of the water for two hours after a fin was spotted offshore.
The director of the Nova Scotia Lifeguard Service says a fin โ possibly of a shark โ was spotted in the swimmer's area of Queensland beach, about 50 kilometres west of Halifax.
Paul D'Eon says the lifeguard service has no way to confirm there was a shark, but says when a fin is spotted close to the beach the policy is to order swimmers out of the water.
The veteran lifeguard manager says the potential shark sighting was the first this season at any of the province's 21 ocean beaches, where lifeguards have been on duty for the past five days.
D'Eon says that last year there were three or four sightings of fins over the summer.
The director says that in his 51-year career there's never been a shark attack at one of the beaches while lifeguards were on duty.
Indeed. While most of the time a fin sighting would be harmless, that area is within territory covered by great white sharks. In 2021 a woman swimming at Margaree Island was bitten by a great white that likely mistook her for a seal.
As waters warm, mako and great white sharks have been spending more time close to shore over the past decade.
Just like with any animal at the top of the food chain, itโs better to use caution than to tempt statistics.
