The config files literally won’t compile if there is an incompatibility or error in the code.

Also, every distro has an audience who love to brag about it. The worst part of being a Nix user is I can no longer say “Arch BTW”.

I’m still a Linux noob all things considered, and I’ve been using NixOS for six months or more.

It is HARD, but I see the true value of it. I will never need to reinstall Linux because I broke it, that’s simply impossible.

If I ever need to migrate my system, it’s all backed up to github. With a single

Bash update.sh

every single .config file backed up, system upgraded, all packages updated.

I just love Nix, it’s the perfect OS for me.

Now I just need to learn how to use flakes…

Sidebar: I’ve never asked before, but maybe someone can help me out. If I install a flake of an application, am I supposed to add it to the existing flake, or can I modulate flakes?

I’ve noticed when installing the nixvim flake it generates a new flake and it runs when I issue the

nix run ~/.dotfiles/nixvim/flake.nix

command, but I don’t want to have to run that command every time. I feel like making a fish abbreviation isn’t the correct way of doing this.

Ha. You want STABLE, use NixOS.

If you’re cannot parse the configuration file, you don’t update. It is perfectly, 100% stable, about 60% of the time (when I change my config file without an error).

I’m tempted to say either The Witcher 3, Grand Theft Auto V, or Metal Gear Solid 5 (if you can look past the fact it’s unfinished).

All three are exceptionally polished, have huge, highly detailed world’s to explore, cinematic moments with blockbuster action scenes, smooth and balanced gameplay, are suitable for gaming noobs and veterans, and has moments to goof off and dick around.

It’s hard not to be biased, though I’ll state I don’t personally like GTAV, I think it’s perhaps too ordinary for my tastes and feels too restrictive in its mission structure.

Ted talks have sucked for at least 8 years

Obviously there are workarounds, but I suppose it provides a good justification for parents to deny their kids access to social media.

Maintain eye contact.

Shit makes me so uncomfortable. Look at me all you want, that’s fine. I’m going to look at that plant.

If you want to look at that plant, I’ll look at you, but you can’t have both.

Unless we both look at the plant. That’s fine too.

You’re not alone in not living up to your principles, virtually nobody can.

I once tried to vet all the products I was buying to make sure I wasn’t contributing to slave labour, or deforestation, or animal exploitation, and it was exhausting.

It was good to identify brands which were absolute villains, and I still avoid them like the plague, but the amount of willpower it takes to travel to multiple stores and pick only the lesser of evils is something I’m not capable of right now.

I make gradual improvements, which is sustainable.

I am dead-set on repairing what I can, and hate spending money on new things.

My mother does wildlife rescues, birds are mostly, then goes home and cooks a roast chicken.

She knows it’s hypocritical. Cognitive dissonance is weird.

Also, it’s not so alienating. I attend dinners with my family, and I’ll eat roast vegies, and bring a side-dish for myself. Over time a few of my friends became vegan (I didn’t convince them to) and it’s exciting to share recipes.

If nothing else, reduce your meat intake over time.

As with most changes people make, the more drastic, the more unlikely it is to stick.

When I became vegan I was a slut for KFC burgers, and I “failed” a few times, but I just kept reminding myself it’s not good for anyone, and mustered up the will power to drive past, and eat at home instead.

I’ve noticed dark horror movies are much better in 4k because they normally have much better dynamic range.

Longlegs has quite a few scenes with visuals you’ll miss if you’re watching with a poor quality video.

Don’t breathe was also fantastic in 4K.

Whelp…

Penguin kids (Linux noobs)

Fish (a great shell)

Fish represents OpenBSD

Shell (text only interface for the terminal)

Terminal (application to display the interface)

Path (shortcut for the shell to access binaries)

Binary (application in the form of a single file)

There’s a much easier way.

https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-jellyfin/#usage

Copy the text from the docker-compose section, and paste it into a file called compose.yaml

You can also add your other programs which rely on each other (Sonarr/Radar/qBitttorrent) in this same compose.yaml file (you can find them on this website).

When copying the other programs, omit the lines:

---
Services:

After that, in your terminal, navigate to where the compose.yaml file is, and run this command

docker compose up -d

Now your suite of applications are installed and can talk to each other.

You’ll need to change some of the details of the compose file (to set timezones and media directories).

You can restart programs with

docker restart jellfin

LinuxServer.io are basically your one-stop shop for home-server applications

Are you using the LSIO docker image, or did you install it manually via the official website instructions?

Anyone else get the urge to pull the hat down?

Depends, are you backing up to another partition or drive?

If not, you’re pretty fucked.

Wait, people type neofetch, as opposed to setting it to run with each time the shell is loaded?

For the sake of brevity, I’m just going to agree that I’m sea-lioning.

Now, explain how what I’m doing is unethical.

Do you think it’s unethical because it uses stolen art?

If so, I don’t think there’s an issue because I’m not publishing anything I generate.

Do you think it’s unethical because of the electricity usage?

If so, you could make the argument about any frivilous activity which generates electricity.

I really don’t know of a compelling reason besides these two which raises a red flag for you.

I’m not trolling. Why is it unethical for me and my buddies to generate images of a duck with the head of an elephant?
