This (and systemd bugs) is the main reason I moved away from nixos on my homeserver. Nowadays if I want declarative configuration, I just cram everything into docker containers and write a huge
docker-compose.ymlfor everything that I want to run. Would still recommend nixos for things that don’t require a lot of tweaking. Like if I had to set up a simple website for a small business or something. I love how you can set up SSL certificates for nginx with autorenewal just by switching it on inconfiguration.nix.

Void on laptop, alpine on homeserver. Yep, checks out.
Love how the indian guy sitting meme perfectly sums up how I feel about alpine, nixos, and freebsd, even though those are completely different projects with different directions and goals. “It’s boring and it just works”.
10·3 days agoTangentially related, but I love how http://ai is an actual website that you can visit. We’re so used to thinking of websites as
<something>.<tld>that it’s really weird to see a website hosted directly on a top level domain with no subdomain.
John Oliver did a nice explanation
Basically they pretend to have the wrong number, but then start chatting with you, gain your trust over a period of months, and then ask you for money or similar.
So…
- normal people are scared because they fall for the gambler’s fallacy,
- mathematician is feeling fine because a 50% chance is a 50% chance,
- and the scientist is feeling extra fine because the experimental data shows that the surgery is actually safer than 50%
Did I get it right?

Agreed, “we’ll have a law against this but won’t bother enforcing it” is a terrible way to do things. It just leads to the law being enforced against minorities or anyone the cops don’t like.
The prompt was just “Is drunk cycling legal in the netherlands?”. No prompt trickery. It gave a long response with sources that boiled down to “no, but nobody cares”. I just found this particular part of the response funny
Ugh just noticed my post technically violates the rule about AI-generated content. I feel like that’s not the intent of that rule, but I may be wrong. Mods feel free to remove.
I’m no politologist or military strategist, but I’m pretty sure a lot of wars (not all of them) are started so that a nation’s government can get better control over their own population. If the state can declare an emergency situation, they can use it to justify cracking down on political dissidents, invasive surveillance, restrincting freedom of speech, etc in the eyes of the public. It can also be used to ramp up nationalism, which works in the ruling class’ favour. Pretty sure this is at least part of the reason behind putin and nettanyahu stirring shit up right now.
Thanks, this was my exact intention! I’m glad you like my shitpost!
12·10 days agoIt’s archaic english. So yes, I think people will think you’re weird. But maybe if you start using it with your dutch friends/colleagues in english-speaking contexts, you can slowly introduce it into common usage in your community. Might be cool.
Also don’t forget “ereyesterday” for the day before yesterday.

Maybe I’m confused, but from what I understand, “declarative” means you tell the computer what you want the final thing to look like, and “imperative” means you tell the computer what steps to take. So Dockerfile would be imperative because it’s a set of commands that are executed in-order to create the image. Meanwhile docker-compose.yml is declarative because you say which containers are used with what options and how they’re interconnected. IDK tho, as far as I understand the definitions aren’t that rigid
