  • What social contract? When sites regularly have a robots.txt that says "only Google may crawl", and are effectively helping enforce a monolopy, that's not a social contract I'd ever agree to.

  • We had Ansible, containers, ZFS and BTRFS that provided all the required immutability needed already but someone decided that is is time to transform proven development techniques

    Just so you know, NixOS is older than all of these, actually. And for that matter, no less flexible.

  • Well, Columbus himself didn't conquer much. He established a few settlement, but the real conquering was done by others.

    More accurate comparison would be:

    Describe Hernan Cortez in one word.

    (GPT-4) Conquistador

  • I'm just guessing, but you can try brackets around xclip -o | wl-copy in the long command.

  • Exactly! Many of the criteria included aren't all that good for new users, and neither are the suggestions. It's not really a good resource for experienced users either.

  • Well, when you get from 3 to 2000 in only a few years, the vast majority of these versions will be unusable. No wonder they had to drop everything after 11...

  • That said, you can use a third party service only for sending, but receive mail on your self-hosted server.

  • After you're done with the initial setup, I've found looking for nix code on GitHub to be very useful for seeing how to do things.

  • Actually, both Arch and NixOS are pretty reliable, and won't just break out of nowhere, leaving your computer unusable.

  • I think NixOS is awesome, but it certainly doesn't offer "access to (basically) all Linux-capable software, no matter from what repo." - at least not natively. You can do that through containers, but you can do that with containers on any distro. Where it shines is declaring the complete system configuration (including installed programs and their configuration) in its config file (on file-based configuration, I wouldn't really consider blendos a viable competitor).

  • You could put users in the same group, and give some folders group permissions.

  • To me, the smaller userbase is actually a real problem. I'm willing to stick it out and hope it grows. But for over half of the subreddits I subscribe to, the corresponding lemmy communities have 0 posts this last week.

    Yes, I don't need 10k comments on my posts. But memes or mainstream news was never the big value of reddit for me - I can get these anywhere. Instead it is about the niche communities with a few thousand subscribers. And for now, I still have to use reddit for them.
