What is actually wrong with it?

Removed by mod

the penises never touched for the entirety of the playthrough

Nono, it’s only gay if the balls touch. So sayeth the internet.

(spoiler: people from Africa and Asia were in the Roman Empire at that time; generally as merchants or slaves)

Any evidence that these slaves and merchants existed in Bohemia, or no? Because “The (Holy) Roman Empire” is a wide area.

rewrite my config

Ah shit, here we go again.

Can I slap what I require in a file yet, like a pyproject.toml + uv.lock kind of situation?

edit: nevermind, I’ll stick to nix. Just let an LLM maintain your configuration. It’s a great experience.

Out of all the things I’ve done in vim, I’ve never opened a tab. I didn’t even know that was a thing, and I’ve been using it off and on since… 2009? (increasingly so over the years).

You extend your right arm horizontally in front of you.

Uh oh…

You rest your left hand, palm down, on top of your right arm, next to your antecubital fossa (the opposite side of the elbow).

Oh, phew! I thought this was going to get dark for a second.

I use mermaid or PlantUML, so I can write it out in text and get a visual render inside vscode (just get yourself a mermaid or PlantUML extension)

Note that the .svg (or .png, for that matter) contains the metadata for draw.io itself, so you can basically have a regular .png that you can also open in draw.io.

Just don’t optimize the .png for filesize - the metadata will be removed, and you won’t be able to edit the file anymore.

Same for the .svg with https://svgomg.net/

I use a Justfile, so I can make a file containing local shortcuts via the just binary.

I have created this so I can run just switch [wodan] ([] implies optionality):

default_host := "wodan"

set shell := ["bash", "-euo", "pipefail", "-c"]

# Apply a host configuration immediately and persist across reboots.
switch host:
  sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#"{{host}}"

By doing this, I could prepend git add . or jj status, while sticking to just switch for myself and not having to think about any pre-steps.

I just think it’s neat.

Yeah, but the girl from Resident Evil is actually hot with the DLSS5 filter though.

But that’s just one character in a bunch, and Realism isn’t a good fit for every game.

his racist and toxic comments in the past make it hard to recommend it to anyone

He mended his ways, and didn’t do it again. What else do you want him to do, to atone for his sins?

he dint really accept his/or dealt with the consequences,

1. He publically apologized for it (no ukulele though, which is how you know it’s a fake apology)
2. He didn’t do it again

What else would you want him to do?

And what consequences are you specifically talking about?

nixpkgs (the NixOS package repository) has everything

And you can create your own (local) packages for what you’re missing (like the newest version of Codex, because that supports GPT 5.4) using an LLM.

much more effort than copying a normal distro

I just throw an LLM at it - I learned to read nix (the language), but even that isn’t required.

I now maintain a single, mostly shared, configuration between three machines. If I ever replace my main PC again, I can be up and running almost exactly back to where I was within 24 hours (that includes OS installation, some debugging, etc). And there’s going to be a bunch of downloading data from my NAS.

That would’ve used to take a week to get roughly back to where I was, but without some vague fix for some issue or another.

Summary: It’s great for programmers, and people who have maintain multiple machines, and want a shared configuration.

Either you pay the setup effort upfront (Nix) or you do it afterwards (any other stateful OS).

Whatever happened to all the hype around NixOS?

Sorry, I’m too busy building up my NixOS configuration to hype it up on the web. Go check out Vimjoyer for all your NixOS knowledge needs. He is the new official documentation.

That’s fucking dumb.

Would you stop eating nasi because it’s a ‘little too close to “nazi”’ for you too?

Stop it. Get some help.

It’s the reason I switched to NixOS - I can’t pin for shit in Debian, and I’m stuck at whatever version they want things to be (like ye olde git). Some programs I just want to be bleeding edge, the rest I don’t care much about (unless it breaks).

Meanwhile, I can pin things in Cargo (Rust), and uv (Python) just fine, which is why it stings so hard that Debian doesn’t have it :(

I’m a programmer and have switched to NixOS, because I can define all my configurations in code+git repo, which is great. I now have a single repo that has some parts that are shared, and some parts are host-specific (one desktop + 2 laptops, for now), and if I fix some bug (like my Samsung 990 Pro SSDs having Linux issues), I know it’ll be permanently fixed, instead of having to re-figure everything out after a reinstallation.

NixOS BTW. We’re making it ours.

edit: Steam has been a non-issue, so gaming has been great so far! Not that I’ve been gaming a ton, but still.

Also, being able to use an LLM to fix stuff for me in my nixcfg repo has been great - I would NOT have been as productive with NixOS had I not have had Codex.
