This is the way. Docker (& compose) are not flawless, but they are predictable and useful enough for all my needs.

I currently have around 12 containers running on my server, all trough docker compose. Only thing I use nix for is providing tools & their configs. And also restic backups.

This is all hard to do because it is hard to determine people’s race on lemmy. Some usernames give it away but most don’t. And I don’t go snooping trough their post history to find that out.

In my case, it just worked, on two machines. Just added steam and lutris into the config along with two other options recommended for gaming and it worked.

If you have a working system and no wish to ever install anything new, you could run it indefinitely.

It wouldn’t get any updates after some point and after ~10 years some websites would stop working because they would be using some new standard that is not yet implemented in the browser on your machine.

To update to a newer version of NixOS, you might need to change config slightly, and that requires you to know where configuration is and how to read error messages.

To install something new it is easy in 70% of cases and really really hard in the remaining 30%.

The answer depends on technical ability of your partner. In any case, they should always be able to login and extract all the data they need, so they can then reinstall, say plain Debian.

This could also be done with help from a Linux versed relative/friend. So you should leave a bit of documentation behind.

Other than that, don’t optimise for the worse case scenario. It will leave you with suboptimal system most of the time.

Is this a threat? 🤔

Can you expand on this wild claim? The whole point of containers is isolation so what you are saying is that containers fail at that all the time?

It started as actual unpublished technical descriptions of underlying technology.

If they made that, they could also make it so one can pay 10x more for each additional icon.

So 10e for one, 100e for two, 1000e for three and so on.

This would allow us to recognise all people seeking attention by flashing money very easily. Bonus points if we are able to filter feeds by number of icons.

I use rathole for this purpose. Works great, minimal, great performance.

My house was built in 1939. Initial installation of ecectric cables consisted of a wire in a sleeve filled over with concrete. That was all replaced with proper tubing and isolation, but these few outlets do not have ground.

Wait what? What does that even mean? Is he their boss? Is he paying them? Does he mind control them?

I didn’t even notice the new actors, a testimony to how good they are!

What’s DRM in this context? Surely linux kernel doesn’t do digital rights management?

I use planka, which feels exactly like what trello used to feel: fast & simple. It does not have an app though.

You write a nix derivation that decares it needs python and then runs the makefile. Then you can add the derivation to your configuration.nix (or temporary request it in a nix-shell).

Im interested to see lemmyui on this list.

I’ve opened up the pricing page, and it seems it is much more expensive then their mainstream competitor Backblaze. For a terabyte of backup for a month, rsync.net would charge 1024*0.012 = 12$, while Backblaze would charge 6$. Hetzner Storage Box would be only 3.20$ (+better price scaling over terabytes).

What am I missing?

I open search.nixos.org at least 3 times a day. This will be appreaciated. But it needs an alias, im not typing that.
