I truly miss my old 12" macbook. It was a great "coffee shop on the weekend and relax" type laptop for myself

This is interesting - maybe it's time I use flakes...

This really feels like an sales call for AWS. Basically no speaking to the license change

Seriously?

>teaching the workforce just 3-5 letters and using combinations of those letters would be a massive upgrade over this system.

Upgrade, how exactly? This works fast, does not require paper or pens (which run out, dry out or go missing).

See it in action - it works fast as hell

11.6 on s23

Sounds like old hardware or some other issue

  What fancy new features will we get with systemd?

    Granular privilege controls
    Powerful service dependency and security analysis features
    Tight cgroups integration both static and dynamic
    Socket activation (so you can print from your phone without having CUPS running all the time!)
    Built in boot-time analysis

  What's wrong with the polyfills?

...

  corecollector (systemd-coredumpd) 1: Not needed to run KDE and GNOME, but a very useful tool that many developers expect to be able to use to easily retrieve coredumps and associated metadata, without first figuring out how to configure them properly. It is great that there is a polyfill for it, but it is unmaintained since 2020. Plasma Mobile developer Devin wrote: "When debugging crashes, it’s incredibly useful to be able to view coredumps and attach a debugger after the fact with coredumpctl, this can help us obtain backtraces that would otherwise be hard to replicate again with a debugger attached. We can also then enable DrKonqi’s coredumpd integration, which can allow users to get notifications about process crashes and see them from a GUI. DrKonqi also has optional integration with our Sentry instance, which we can enable on developer installs to automatically send crashes to a web dashboard for us."

I switched a year or two ago

It wasn't until I switched that I realized how poor bash and zsh are in comparison, even with fzf

10 min install, never looked back

Not to mention the safety. Never could figure it out, but once every 15 months or so, zsh would disappear my history. Certainly a mistake on my end, but still too easy to blow away history

Full time user of NixOS; work and personal. On unstable, but always enjoy the release notes. Essentially a 6 month history of my laptop. Sometimes noticed, mosty not

I cannot express how much satisfaction NixOS gives me

> Am I in the minority here?

Yes, and it's not even close. Metrics are clear - stutter/loading will cause many more people to close the window vs lower quality.

> I can understand various resolutions and codecs based on user preferences and devices but that's a fixed choice.

What are the odds that many of those users who set a preference and forget about it, now are wondering why youtube etc. never works at their coffee shop or when in the back yard where the WiFi is weak? The majority of video on the internet is viewed from wireless networks which always have a chance to vary in quality

What mess? Moved most of our workloads to it. been quite pleased

> Stop trying to control the future

Every choice we make in life impacts and "controls" the future, by choice or not

Compassion for those alive or will be alive, is a worthy goal

I'd argue it's one of the ideals of living a worthwhile life

First glance I thought this was silly with left ctrl changed to fn

But on closer look, I saw caps lock was changed to ctrl. Which is what I do on all my computers

I hope the Framework ecosystem grows so we might someday see a keyboard like this for it

> I haven't seen any evidence it is run by the NSA

kinda a nonstarter, eh?

> I also haven't seen any evidence that it isn't

You can say that for any conceivable cause. It means nothing. Why NSA? why not CIA? MI6? China Security? Some rich guy in Indonesia?

> must cost at least $10000

citation needed, but also is not high enough to suggest it needs to be state run

Yep, for a few years on Gnome/NixOS. Primarily I use Zoom/Slack/Firefox/Kitty/Steam. As far as I recall, it all runs without issue

What are your issues?

> That Wayland is 10 years old and still barely usable

Factually false, and easily known. Starting with most distros defaulting to wayland, Myself using it full time with zoom, screenshots I'm sure many things you say don't work

> far software developers have fallen in the last 30 years.

You can't be serious

> They have thrown everything difficult out of the spec and only implemented the most trivial functionality around a security model which you must actively break to get actual work (like screen shots) done.

You must really hate HTTP as spec. HTTP is so lazy. Could not even implement transport security or even TCP like functionality. Composability and layers are quite overrated

But I guess I should just not feed the troll

I was very excited to read this but was it removed in Gnome 43.x?

also, journalctl. Very nice to have all logs in one place in a semi-structured nature

`journalctl -u myservice -S "5 min ago"`

When using recent packages (e.g. NixOS) it's become quite good in the last ~6-ish months. It switches automatically when I open zoom, which is very nice

Cheers mate! Never knew of that cmd.

Just added this to my shell alias config on Nix and it works nicely, even with pipes

`cp = "${pkgs.xsel}/bin/xsel --clipboard";`

Not OP, but I've been doing it for a few years. Can't say I've ever seen an issue - with Prometheus Operator, which the article mentions, as few times as well

I know that FreeBSD has some wayland support already and wayland 1.20+ can build on BSD

Also, this is only for GTK 5, so by the time that even comes out (years) and apps switch to it, we could see widespread wayland support in BSD

you know, that's a really clever idea

This is lovely - pleasing to the eyes and nice features such as time machine

I see its in nixpkgs - think I'll alias it to watch right now

> The auto-complete and suggestions are also miles better than bash - they are automatically generated from man pages, so most commands have a usable set of completions.

I never understood this. It's always seemed worse - in bash/zsh I can tab complete branches/tags etc in git, pods/deployments etc in kubectl. I try that in fish and it'll just list files in my PWD

https://lobste.rs/ - I find the comment sections more enjoyable

https://www.advrider.com from time to time

not really forums, but I lurk on nixos.org matrix server

You can say that again. After using rg for a few years now, I can't imagine not having this tool, that I use weekly, if not daily

yep! also what I find nice is you can just ref a package in a config and it just gets installed

e.g. create a g zsh alias for git using the alias section of zsh module in home manager

> g = "${pkgs.git}/bin/git";

I'd just install nix + home-manager on your linux or Macos box. That's not too hard. Then take one of your dotfiles supported by home-manager e.g. kitty term, and port it to nix + home-manager

No need to boil the ocean, just start small. You can mix and match with what you're using now. If you like, port it all to nix over time

> Coming from a country that has this, there should be caution

It's big world - without knowing which country, this is of little help. I'd like to see a comparison of people forced into debt, bankruptcy or death due to the respective medical systems

This hits home because I have a friend that got cancer with "good" U.S. insurance and if he did not fight the insurance company he'd be in debt for 1mm+
