This is what I did but I would suggest you shop around. in many cases for first time sign ups you can get the domain for free and you pay a discounted price for the first year. For example I went with a local webhosting service where I got the domain for free, unlimited email account creations, and a decent shared web hosting server for $50 a year. I use the web hosting to host my personal site regardless of the fact I have a dedicated server with OVH. But I mean the free domain and emails + web hosting for $50 a year was a deal I couldn’t turn down.

They seem to be doing well in Canada? I don’t know within the past couple years I’ve noticed more and more Wendy’s opening up in Toronto.

it really is fantastic out of the box. When I switched to NixOS I had decided to stay on zsh/ohmyzsh and it was an absolute slog. it was so slow and didn’t mesh well with the zsh plugins. Someone suggested I try Fish instead as it pretty much could do what Zsh does with plugins but right out of the box. Fish was much faster and indeed could do everything that I had configured zsh to do but I didn’t have to configure Fish at all. It’s great, I’ll never use another shell.

yeah it works flawlessly on Wayland, that wasn’t what I was saying. I’m saying on x11 it doesn’t work for gaming because of the setup. Say I want to use I3 or Herbstfluftwm. If I open a game and ONLY stay on that game it’s fine. but if I navigate away from it to look at a web browser or check discord and then toggle back to the game it results in a black screen or simply shows the desktop and the game is unresponsive. And from what I was able to find online the consensus seems to be it’s because x11 doesn’t play well with integrated and discrete dual GPUs.

Democrats were literally rolling on a much needed win this past week and then yesterday 8 of “them” decided “nah fam, we can’t let that momentum to continue to roll”

Christ on a cracker someone check their bank accounts and/or driveways for new cars. And of course Fetterman is one of them.

when I first started using NixOS I was like you. I refused to use flakes and the home manager cause it just didn’t make sense to me. Then I borked my system royally and had to reinstall. just going off the configuration.nix alone was…it was rough. possible but rough. So I decided to use flake, home manager, along with my configuration and then suddenly NixOS just clicked for me, I finally made sense.

using all 3 just makes your system easier to manage. For example say you use a WM and you want to keep your WM (like niri or hyprland or sway or i3 or whatever) config reproducible just like the rest of your system. Sure you can throw your entire config into the home manager OR you can simply have the home manager literally manage said config. Keep your config files in your “nixos-configs” directory along with your home, flake, and configuration.nix and repo all that, boom it’s backed up and easy to reproduce if something goes wrong or you want to move your ENTIRE system to another computer. I do this for Niri, KDE, Yazi, Aerc, DOOM Emacs, Nvim, whatever I have a config for. So say I royally mess up a config for one of those programs or WMs just like my NixOS I can go back to a previous generation of one of them very easily thanks to my home manager.

Flakes are also good in case you want to use something that hasn’t been packaged on NixOS. Say like some awesome TUI or application someone recently made you can input the git repo into your flake and then “install” it via your home manager. makes things easy.

It also helps to understand and manage if you sort what each thing does. For me I use my home.nix to list packages that I directly interact with. So stuff like Qutebrowser, floorp, steam, OBS, Krita, etc, etc are all in my home manager. stuff that’s more backend/system dependent like git, libnotify, fzf, etc are in my configuration.nix i.e. the config of my OS while the home.nix is just like a package list and config files of things I’m more likely to interact with on a daily basis. It’s easier to manage when things are separate like that.

I keep all of this stuff in its own directory that is a git repo. so before I rebuild I stage it all. then rebuild. if it’s good commit it all, push it to my forgejo, boom instantly backed up. something goes wrong then I can either roll back a generation or clone the repo and rebuild from that.

“Capitalism for All!”

“BOOOOOOOOOOOO”

“um…Capitalism for some…MINI BOLIVIA FLAGS FOR EVERYONE ELSE!”

“YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!”

you hit the nail on the head. Americans believe the book still works. you can go in various threads be it on lemmy, piefed, reddit, etc and still the rhetoric “remember people, vote them out in the midterms!” is still being posted. Meanwhile a Democratic Rep from Arizona who DID win is STILL waiting to be sworn in. So the Republican Party/Current Dictatorship is clearly showing the American people that voting doesn’t matter. that they can simply block people who did win via votes from doing their jobs. Americans still don’t understand that. They still firmly believe that they’ll win the midterms by a landslide but…what then? the republican party can simply and president can simply say “nah, we’re good” and just stay in power. whose to stop them? and the current administration is hedging on that bet.

I’m not an American but I can kinda understand why. Gotta tow that line. A good chunk of Americans are on the verge of homelessness and all their healthcare is tied directly to their employment. So rioting, looting grocery stores, etc runs a risk of not only being arrested or killed but also losing their jobs and thus losing their healthcare. The US Government has done a brilliant job over the decades of establishing a system preventing people from revolting.

Now one can argue that other countries would revolt and they’d also lose said things mentioned above because how can you get healthcare if you’re actively fighting the system that provides it? But Americans don’t know that. They’ve been conditioned to, again, tow the line.

Add to the fact there’s zero leadership for said revolt. Literally none. This isn’t like Black Lives Matter where there was an organization rallying everyone. I mean the proof is in the pudding just look at the No Kings protests. when do those happen? on the weekend, on a Saturday, when the vast majority are off work.

Now if those protests happened at 11am on a Tuesday I’d be impressed, but as it stands right now? that ain’t happening any time soon. They need leadership, they have none.

just upgraded my instance. pretty good, very smooth and yay animated profile avatars!

no, they’re not.

ugh I know. In hindsight I would have never bought it.

yes if they want you back you NEED to demand higher pay. Many companies, even some of my clients, are trying to pull the “we need you back but we’re going to pay less than what we previously paid you” bullshit thinking devs will be desperate enough to take it.

ugh I wish I could but my Laptop set up says “no, you can’t.” discrete Nividia GPU with onboard AMD GPU and gaming on x11 is a no go for me. So my only choice is wayland :/

right so you just keep your music folder open so people can do just that. More audiophiles are going to be on soulseek than some random torrent tracker.

I don’t understand why you insist on torrenting when you can’t safely do so. You’re going to get way more traction sharing your rare stuff on soulseek than you will torrenting it I can guarantee that.

Good on the dude and good on them for reaching out to someone for advice who in turn provided fantastic advice. AND they moved the project to codeberg. win-win all around.

Am I crazy or didn’t they announce this a few years ago? I could have sworn watching a tease for a KOTR remake on like the game awards or something.

I don’t understand what exactly this is as it doesn’t go into great detail especially the whole “flavors” thing. There’s Ember, Social, Community, and Corporation so what’s the difference between each. in the documentation for installation it tells you to pick a flavor but again doesn’t describe what each “flavor” actually is.

So is this like meetup or some kind of neighborhood app/social group thing? I’d be willing to set up an instance on my server of it today but I don’t even know what this really is.
