NixOS I wouldn’t recommend to a beginner (maybe Nixbook, I’m not familiar), but Fedora Silverblue: holy hell maintenance is so low-effort. Major version upgrades are literally the same level of effort as regular updates, and take about as long. And they’re waaaaay less likely to break than conventional major upgrades. I’d recommend that to beginners and advanced users alike.
This is so true. It’s been good enough for me for so many years at this point, and yet it just keeps getting better. The whole experience is so much nicer now than it was years ago, which was better than years before that, etc.
(That said, better hardware also helps a lot.)
Ha, if that’s your first association, I think that might say more about you than about the phone :P
(Which is not a bad thing.)
Alyssa is so incredibly impressive. I don’t usually particularly suffer from impostor syndrome, but I wouldn’t even dream of being able to accomplish what she has.
Wow, even South Park? When does South Park ever give someone a jab! :P
Haha, too bad I didn’t listen to Madonna.
Ah OK, just found
Napster was the original peer-to-peer platform and drew heat from the recording industry. Artists like Dr. Dre, Eminem, Metallica, and plenty more spoke out against the platform.
(I do know Napster, but didn’t know they had spoken out against it. Ah well.)
Wait, what did Metallica, Dre and Eminem do?
From the release notes:
one of the last breaking changes we want to make before reaching the stable release milestone
So you’ll probably want to wait until they do a stable release.

No browser uses a different engine yet (presumably because Apple only allows them to offer this in the EU).
Hmm yeah, I guess the question is: is it overly complex if I do want to store my backup of my Nix config online, version-controlled, preferably publicly?
That’s neat!
Is that just because your four servers aren’t used for anything that need a secret? e.g. I wanted to put my wifi password in there, and the password for my user account.
How do you access the private Git repo then? Don’t you need a secret to access it?
Copy one file over and it’s set up for you.
So, I’ve only played around with NixOS on a Raspberry Pi, but… Don’t people usually split their config up in multiple files, and then store than in a Git repository?
The process then still is: check out that Git repository, except there’s another step: copy over your private key so that you can decrypt your secrets.
Is that correct? Or did I make things needlessly complex for myself?
Oh yeah I’m with you there. I think the project kinda grew beyond its initial goals, and now it’s hard to rename. Made more complex by GSConnect being by an independent developer from the KDE Connect team, I think. But the naming is confusing for sure.
Where are you installing KDE Connect? You only need it on your Android phone. On your computer, you only need the GSConnect extension.
There shouldn’t be the need to clear a name, because you shouldn’t be smearing someone’s name who’s giving away their work. It’s fine to distrust it, but then just don’t use the software.
I think he did, but I’m not sure if he called that out explicitly. Basically the recommendation is: yeah, try it, but also, all the power it gives you can make you go off the deep end. Don’t fall for the trap of trying to build your own editing software.
