Any word can be used as a slur? Really? Please explain what a slur is to you. I agree that every word can be used as an insult, you absolute Brokkoli, but that’s down to tone and context, more than anything, isn’t a slur more than that?

What decade do you live in? It’s closer to 2-4x nowadays, and 2TB is nothing

Don’t have one, unfortunately. And I don’t think I’ll get enough use out of one to justify buying it

I cannot. Mobile games are exclusively licensed by Netflix: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netflix.NGP.IntoTheBreach&hl=en-US

On desktop, I’ll of course go for the actual purchase

I have it on PC, but I want to play it on the go. The only way to (legally) get it on mobile is via Netflix. I’d buy it, if I could, it’d be worth it

Fuck them for licencing games behind a monthly subscription. I want to buy Into the Breach, not get a video subscription I won’t use to be able to play it.

I’m curious, could anyone more knowledgeable about IPFS give an impression of the state of the protocol? It seems like a really interesting technology, but it also leans heavily into web3 and crypto bullshit. It’s that reflective of the network, or just bad marketing?

Oh yeah, of course.

No, I don’t

Oh I know it’s better, problem is I host some stuff my friend group relies on so I don’t want downtime while I figure things out. Also, it’s a bit of a pain in the ass to get NixOS set up on a VPS without native support (I’m on Hetzner and I know it’s possible, it’s just a bit of a hassle). It’s one of those projects that I’ll get to eventually, when I got time. Or so I tell myself

NixOS for most things, Debian on some servers as a docker host

Yeah I agree. Although recently I’ve become partial to toml… In the end I’ll use what’s common in the ecosystem I’m developing in

Nothing too major about how it’s usually used, but the yaml spec does allow arbitrary code execution when parsing a file and relies on the parser to have that feature disabled: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML#Security

That’s why for python, yaml.save_load() is a thing. That’s fine for your local config files and may even be a feature for you, but it shouldn’t be used to exchange information between services.

of course they’re not a drop-in replacement, as the cli is getting a major redesign, but as per your source

nix shell and nix develop are still experimental, so nix-shell is sticking around despite doing the same thing

it seems like they are made to fulfill the same purpose

Interesting, didn’t know the history of the command. But that post confirms my understanding, that nix shell/develop are the new replacements for nix-shell, with nix shell for temporary package installs and nix develop for debugging and developing

Source on the second statement? My understanding was that nix-shell is legacy for systems without flakes and nix-command enabled, and are being replaced by nix shell/run/develop

Careful, there’s three different terms in the mix here:

NixOS: an entire operating system, you don’t need this.

nix: the nix package manager. This is what you’ll need to install. look for single user install in the instructions.

home-manager: a module for nix. It’s aim is to allow declarative configuration of a users’ home configuration (and allow easier per-user install of packages on a global nix install).

If you want to go down the nix route, which I would recommend if you enjoy tinkering and having fine control over your system, you should start with installing nix. With that, you can already setup a shell that has the newest version of python available.

Going beyond that, I can link you some more resources, if you want c:

Forgejo is a free/open source code hosting site like GitHub or Gitlab. It’s a fork of Gitea, over concerns with management and commercialization. You might know it from Codeberg, which is one of the largest managed instances, but it’s really easy to host your own.

“good news honey, they heard your complaint and renamed it”
