Oof.
My employer pays a buttload of money to CircleCI - for extensive checks (build, lint, formatting, full test suite, as well as custom scripts for translation converage, docs,… for the full tech stack) on every push. Reviews start only when everything passes.
I think you have given me a new-found appreciation for the reasoning behind that decision… 😄
Lmao, what, that’s wild. How did they justify this??
Can you elaborate? Why are people disgusted by Hyprland?
Ahh those fuckers.
+1 from me.
The Shield is a couple years old, but it handles everything you throw at it perfectly.
I put about 150 hours into NixOS before I was really “done” setting everything up. (Of course, it was completely usable way before that.)
The biggest advantage to me is that that was the last time I will have set anything up. If my laptop or PC or both get thrown into an incinerator tomorrow, I will go buy replacement hardware and will have my exact same setup done in less than 10 minutes.
I used to have serious anxiety about losing my setup with Arch - over the years a lot of config amasses, and sure you can back up your dotfiles, but you better do that after every change, and don’t forget to manually track your changes to /etc, /usr, and so on.
Right now, I am enjoying the most seamless development setup I’ve ever had. That being said, you will have a BAD time unless you embrace nix shells for development (at which point the pip/venv stuff becomes easy, too)
You are right, it’s a steep learning curve and you will have to invest some time initially, but it frees you up in the long run
I did have a weird issue with my printer under nix, turns out it was a bug. I guess 1h time investment is about right.
But that also meant that my Laptop and my GF’s PC were a 0 seconds time investment.
I think that’s neat :D
Kimai is a great option
Inhave the original A5 from Supernote, and while the device still works just fine after 5 years (also I think I never had to change a nib even once), I’ve grown disillusioned with the company.
It came down to the A5 or the rM2 for me hack then. I liked everything about the A5 better, EXCEPT that the rM2 allowed you to mod it and access it via SSH.
The A5 runs on a slim version of Linux. So I asked Supernote if they’d consider opening SSH for users. And they said “Yes! It’s actually in our roadmap for the next release!”
And that’s been the answer I’ve been getting for the past 5 years. The last update for the device was about 3 years ago.
I love that the tablet is running plain Linux, but it suuuuuucks that I can’t use it to its full potential because the sync options suck.
Pretty sure you can configure it with a key so only authorized clients can use it
It was pretty great, wasn’t it?
Although I must say. I eventually landed on neovim. Steep, steep learning curve, but now I would not switch back again.
I gave it serious consideration when the death of Atom was announced and I was unsure where to move on to.
Looks like in the meantime a lot has been done (as far as I remember, TreeSitter and LSP weren’t built in back then…? Not sure though), but the lack of a plugin system is still killing it for me.
TBH it looks like it has 75% of the features you want from a codeditor, which is much more than the use-case for Nano, but no way to go the remaining 25% of the way.
Yeah this is severely lacking in terms of theoretical compsci.
I know it’s been three weeks, but thanks for telling me about this! I might actually do this, for the projects here and there which aren’t packaged into nixpkgs (yet).
Thanks for the suggestion, I must say though, I am very happily de-googled :D
Thanks for the recommendation! Looks like a great option. Actually, the p2p aspect prompted me to have another look at the Jitsi docs, and lo and behold, there’s an option for that, as long as no more than 2 people participate in a chat… (The reason I’d prefer Jitsi is actually just that NixOS comes with options for jitsi out of the box, for Miro I would have to introduce containers into my setup :D)
Yeah, I think it’s overkill, plus needing an account will likely lead to issues (login difficulties, forgotten password,…) compared to “just click this link”. But thanks for the recommendation anyways, I did not know NC comes with video chat!
Thanks for the experience report! Would you say that you’re happy with the video and audio quality and latency?
journalctl -fu servicename
If I am concerned about a specific service, and can trigger the problematic behavior.
In my head it stands for “fuck you” ☺️
