Omg the amount of times I've clicked on a Medium article in the last month and immediately knew it was AI is so frustrating!!!! They aren't even helpful articles because you can tell there is no real understanding.

Stop supporting those who intend to close it.

Gitea is light and fast so I highly recommend it. If you are worried about it being a for profit company, then use the fork, but if they haven’t done any harm, I’d said give them a shot.

Why is this the sanest thing? There are many people that enjoy using gnome including myself. Don’t you think this is an extreme take for something that just doesn’t align with your views on how the Linux desktop should be?

I understand the argument, but consider that Red Hat is a huge contributor to more than just RHEL. The biggest contributors to the projects you know and love like Libreoffice, gnome, and Wayland are from people being payed by companies like red hat. I can understand why people disagree with their choice, but when this company profits, they don’t just make RHEL better and support everything dependent on it, they make Linux software better.

Could you provide some criteria for what you’re looking for in the way of security? Wayland is far better for security than Xorg, but it’s hard to say how much it varies between wayland compositors. I can’t imagine it would matter too much, but depending on how much security you’re looking for, choosing more minimal software is probably better. Rust can be better for security but I’m not entirely sure how much can really get compromised through poor memory management in a window manager.

I honestly don’t know, but my inclination is that people trend that way in any space if they don’t go touch grass and have a real conversation with people

Never say never!

I would recommend you give it a shot. Nix is not conventional and you will find that the ways you’re used to doing things are arch are done differently on NixOS. It’s not a matter of maturity. It’s a matter of use case. I use it on two systems, but not my main one because there are some things that I don’t want to deal with that NixOS imposes. I encourage you to give it a try and see what you like about it.

GNOME 45 Mainly because of libadwaita 1.4 being released with its newfangled widgets

The repository you linked has sadly not been updated in 9 years

I love Mindustry

This might depend on where you’re uploading/how you’re playing this file, but you could add a thumbnail to the audio file? I know that vlc and mpv will play your audio file and show the thumbnail, but I’m not sure if YouTube would take that. Not sure if this is exactly what you’re looking for but it is pretty efficient.

I love NixOS. I run it on my home server. However, I can’t daily drive it. I need something a little less rigid to do my day to day work. Although it is greatly satisfying to have everything reproducible, it isn’t always practical to dedicate the time to making it so.

You are right, but Microsoft allows you to opt out of some of the data collection, but it can never be fully disabled by traditional methods.

I have a lot of free time today so I'm having a blast improving my NixOS skills while listening to some relaxing music.

Nah

All of this looks fantastic!

I’m disappointed by the general reaction of the Linux community about this. I can understand some hesitation and worry around hearing what Red Hat had said, but it didn’t warrant jumping to such an extreme, even going so far to attack somebody who believes in open source as much if not more than anybody else. We need Red Hat in this fight for software freedom because the truth is they contribute sooooo much more than any hobbyist can. Support people supporting Linux.

I love em all, especially btrfs. But I have to stay away from xfs. Had so many weird issues with it that made no sense.

I use PikaBackup which I think uses Borg. Super good looking Gnome app that has worked for me.

I always manage to forget the locale or NetworkManager or set a password for root etc… Unless you have a hyper-specific partitioning scheme or system config these work great

Howdy from lemm.ee!

I'm not sure why this is a thing more men do, but I can't agree more. Generally, I associate this kind of behavior with poor emotional intelligence so good advice for literally any kind of relationship with anyone.

Really living up to your name

Ahh I see sorry for the misunderstanding.

I say that very tongue-in-cheek, but it definitely gave a vibe haha

The photo you’re referencing as something you want IS Lollypop. Do a little bit more digging into the preferences, you can get it to a pretty nice state. Try right clicking the sidebar too and clicking the three dots at the bottom.

Sorry I haven’t really messed with docker on my server. I run multimedia servers and that’s about it.

haha same, TTYD. I love Paper Mario

It seems like a lot of open source projects are getting DDoSed right now.

This is so cool! Where do you even find NixOS blogs like this?

Thanks for a solid assessment of the situation and providing some sources 👍

Wait so you believe because he worsened it that he indirectly caused it? I don't like him at all, but are you serious? The pandemic was inevitable, the death toll wasn't.

This is so cool!

This comment, hell this whole thread, is enormously insightful and productive. It feels like a genuine discussion of men's issues that isn't on the offensive as it often feels when masculinity is the topic. Thank you and all commenters like you who took the time to make a good point.

I dig the aesthetic!

You’re right, but the AirPlay protocol has been updated over the last 9 years. I found something called UxPlay and it works pretty well. https://github.com/FDH2/UxPlay

I’d love to read about it!
