While I do get your sentiment, we currently see in Ukraine what happens if you don’t have a defense industry: You’re reliant on other countries to supply you in case a hostile nation notices that you’re lacking it.

All that follows is my personal opinion, but for ease of writing, I’m gonna present it as facts.

Once you have grasped the advantage that Nix offers, all the fundamentally different solutions just seem s o inferior. When I first tried NixOS on a decommissioned notebook, the concept immediately made sense. Granted, I didn’t understand the language features very well – I mostly used it for static configuration with most stuff just written verbatim in configuration.nix, though I did use flakes very early on because of Lanzaboote. But just the fact that you had a central configuration in a single language that was able to cross-reference itself across different parts of the system absolutely blew me out of the water. I was a very happy and content Arch user, even proficient enough to run my own online repository that built from a clean chroot for AUR packages (if you use Arch with AUR packages on multiple systems, check out the awesome aurutils!), but after seeing the power of NixOS in action, I switched over all my machines as soon as I could - desktop, virtual servers (thanks nixos-anywhere!), main notebook and NAS.

People often praise the BSDs for their integrated approach – NixOS manages to bring that approach to Linux. Apart from GUIX System that I never tried because Secure Boot was a requirement when I last looked at other distributions, none of them have tackled the problem that NixOS solves, and it’s not even certain if they actually understand it. Conceptually, it plays on a whole different level. No more unrecoverable systems, even with broken kernels – just boot the previous configuration. Want to try changes without any commitment? nixos-rebuild test got you. Need an app quick? nix shell nixpkgs#app it is.

Plus the ecosystem is just fantastic. The aforementioned nixos-anywhere really helps with remote provisioning, using disko to declaratively setup filesystems and mounts, you have devenv which is a really good solution for development environments, both regarding reproducibility and features, and many more that I can’t mention here. There is nothing comparable, and the possibilities are unlike in any other ecosystem.

It’s not perfect for sure though, and documentation is sparse. The language concepts which allow one to “unlock” the most powerful features are different from what most people know.

I was lucky enough to have some downtime at work to get into the system a bit deeper (this was still for work though, just not my core skillset) by implementing a “framework” for our needs which forced me to not just copy and paste stuff, though I definitely did get inspired from other solutions, but to actually better understand the module system (I think?), thinking in attribute sets, writing your own actual modules, function library and so on. But in the end, it was definitely worth it, and I’m unaware of any other system that would allow what Nix and NixOS allowed me to build.

It’s not because they’re “natural allies”, is to disincentivize trade with Russia and therefore propping them up.

Was wohl auch verdeutlicht, warum die Preise so erhöht werden. Es versendet heute einfach fast niemand mehr regelmäßig Briefe, selbst Unternehmen haben das zurückgefahren. Das Netz wird aber nicht kleiner und wirklich Personal lässt sich daher auch nicht einsparen.

Auch wenn ich nicht glaube, dass die Zahlen besser werden als bei der letzten Wahl, hoffe ich auf ein starkes Ergebnis. Ich war auch nicht mit allem zufrieden, aber in Anbetracht der Tatsache, dass die Grünen nicht der stärkste Ampelpartner waren, muss man Kompromisse akzeptieren. Und dafür, dass eine FDP unter Lindner einiges ausgebremst hat, ist das Ergebnis respektabel. Das Interview mit Wissing spricht Bände, und auch wenn ich vom Mann eigentlich nichts halte, so hat er durch dieses Vorgehen aus meiner Sicht keinen Vorteil, und daher halte ich es für glaubwürdig.

Ich hoffe noch auf einen richtigen Klogriff von Merz vor der Wahl, aber ich rechne eigentlich schon mit vier Jahren CDU. Mit könnte es egal sein, ich verdiene gut und arbeite in einem Sektor, der wohl die nächsten Jahre nicht hungern wird und von daher von Kürzungen bei Sozialleistungen nicht betroffen (auch wenn es einen als Arbeitnehmer natürlich grundsätzlich immer treffen kann). Nichtsdestoweniger halte ich seine Forderungen für eine Sauerei und Worte wie Neuanfang etc. vom Kanzlerkandidaten der Partei, die Deutschland von 2005 bis 2021 faktisch in die jetzige Lage hineinmanövriert hat und nun versucht, der Ampel für alles den schwarzen Peter zuschieben, sind einfach nur frech. Da wird der Wähler für dumm verkauft.

Okay, aber was außer Selbstbestimmungsgesetz, tatsächliches Engagement für Energiewende, mehr Geld für KiTas und eine Erhöhung des BAföGs haben die Römer Grünen je für uns getan?

Right? It’s like they’re not even trying. Everyone knows you need at least a hundred machines

Yeah, TED as far as know invites you to present, TEDx you pay for a platform to talk on… which shows how much people value your message.

I don’t want to argue against the concept and actually believe that the amount paid here is too low. What I tried to point out is that determining a good amount is difficult and arguing with work makes the matter more complicated.

The more pressing issue would be to make child daycare actually available.

#1 Bestselling Author of The Six Habits

Notice how Bestselling refers to author, not the book, and with her probably being the only author, she can prefix it with any superlative she wants.

CEO of Vision Advertising

Imagine calling yourself CEO unironically for the maybe 3 person gig you’re running to have some overpaid management fill their calenders with instead of doing actual work.

men can keep doing crotchspawn when they are old.

But if women can’t, why would there be need for sterilization?

I know you’re probably right, just trying to point out the absurdity.

You’re both right and wrong in my opinion. Children take to as much time as a job, for sure, and probably more. But if you consider it work to bring them to and watch them at a football / soccer match on the weekend that you should be reimbursed for by the public, you maybe shouldn’t have kids to begin with. You (hopefully) don’t have kids because you feel obligated by society, but because you want them.

It needs to strike a balance where this is accounted for.

South Korea, Japan, Germany, and many other countries “grappling” with decreasing birth-rates have to consider paying parents for children. They are a full-time job.

“Kindergeld” has been a thing in Germany since a very long time, and it’s per child. Does it pay like a full job? No… but parents do get paid.

Right? It doesn’t even make sense for their own world view. I kind of suspect a translation mistake, but then again there seems to be no limit to conservative idiocy.

The only way it makes sense is to create an environment where women out of FOMO Mary and give birth early.

Also imagine asking the same thing for men lol these people would lose their mind. But that’s just the usual hypocrisy

And why would they

What does she have to complain? He even got fancy-dressed for this periscope lunch

Or better, not team-based ones.

I don’t mind losing 50% of the time. It’s the toxicity

Es ist sowieso kein Linux, weil es nicht Linux als Kernel verwendet.

Davon abgesehen könnten wahrscheinlich auch Linux-Distributionen UNIX-zertifiziert werden. Daran besteht aber nur sehr begrenztes Interesse, sodass das wegen der Kosten als nicht lohnenswert gesehen wird, soweit ich weiß.

I dislike fanservice because it often seems shoehorned in, adding no value outside itself whatsoever and as such taking away from the rest.

Mind you if I want smut,I just watch smut. Simple as

Nehmen wir halt an, jeder würde den gleichen Anteil seines Einkommens in die GKV einzahlen, warum sollte dann der gesund lebende den Lebensstil des ungesund lebenden finanzieren? Was hat das Einkommen irgendwie damit zu tun?

Hier geht es nicht darum, dass der Alkohol verboten wird, sondern dass die Verursacher für die Schäden aufkommen sollen. Verursacher sind hierbei die Hersteller und Händler. Das Aufkommen wird durch eine Steuer realisiert. Diese gäben die Hersteller weiter. So weit, so normal.

Was du forderst, ist ein sozialer Topf zur Förderung der Alkohollobby, und da bin ich streng gegen.
