The best part of it is that it’s not just graphical: It’s a headless daemon that you can configure via config file, CLI or GUI.

That’s in stark contrast to i.e. CoreCtl which only operates while its window is open in a graphical desktop session.

AND have backups.

NixOS because it’s the only usable stab at sustainable system configuration.

I recommend borgbackup.

It has since taken away Gentoo’s raison d’être a bit in my head.

I wouldn’t say so. We currently don’t hold a candle to USE-flags. Many packages are already configurable but there’s no standard on anything w.r.t. that.

There’s no technical reason we couldn’t have such a standard but it hasn’t happened yet.

That’s Nix, not NixOS.

I also wouldn’t be too sure on that “explicit” part for Docker. It’s somewhat isolated, sure, but everything but explicit: you can download arbitrary data from wherever you like.

That isn’t going to help them one bit if they have a SteamVR HMD.

It recommends AMDVLK… meh

Is there a bridge like they have for IMAP btw?

It’s a LineageOS thing AFAIK. I’d be a bit surprised if GrapheneOS had it since they’re quite close to stock AOSP when it comes to customisations that don’t relate to security or privacy.

You quite clearly said

instead of simply and arbitrary banning forever

Welcome to my blocklist buddy. Go play with the rest of the trolls.

Great way to show off you haven’t actually read any of the article past its title.

You’re comparing apples to oranges. One is a declarative Linux system environment creation solution and the other a daemon that starts sub-system environments using Linux namespaces.

You could in theory use NixOS to define a system environment that you’d run inside of a docker container. It’s a bit harder to get systemd running inside of Docker which NixOS heavily relies on but that’s beside the point. Easier integrations exist for LXD and systemd-nspawn which actually fulfil an equivalent purpose to Docker. The single component that is most comparable to Docker in a typical NixOS deployment would arguably be its init process (systemd), though its use extends far beyond setting up the namespace (the root namespace in this case).

Having a record which defines exactly what to fetch is the necessary condition, not the sufficient condition.

The actual artifacts fetched to disk must be stable, not just the record.

That’d hit the source fetcher just as much. That’s an issue on a different layer.

The issue at hand isn’t cycling infrastructure. The issue at hand is that, due to typical trend hype cycles, it became super hip to go to that place, causing a shitton of people to follow that trend and go to that one place. That has extremely negative consequences no matter the mode of transport, though cycling is of course much less damaging than i.e. cars would be. The real problem is the amount of people though, not how they get there. If you’ve ever been to a major train station in the Netherlands, you’ll know that bicycle parking hits a scaling limit too at some point.

The local(?) government is therefore fully right in attempting to limit the amount of people following the trend IMHO. What I disagree about are the means because it’s typical authoritarian overreach BS. The banning of bycicles is only a proxy for banning going to that place at night because going there at night by bicycle is the hype thing to do, not because they generally want to suppress bicycle use specifically.

It’s also never said anywhere that this is a permanent thing. There’s no reason for them to ban it permanently. This is just to curb the trend and when the big trend hype wave is inevitably over, the government won’t care anymore either and will lift the countermeasures.

You should scrub your data regularly with btrfs. That’s just a mean to verify the data is in-tact though; to detect corruption.

You cannot really do anything actively to keep the data in-tact. Failure can and will happen. To keep your data safe, you must plan for failure to happen:

Expect a power surge to fry all your disks at the same time.
Expect your house to burn down or flood.
Expect to run the wrong command and istantly hose your entire array.
Expect your backup server to get ransomware’d.
…

Only if you effectively mitigate these dangers will your data stay safe.

Well aprarently they’ve done exactly that and it was too effective.

While I support them in this endavour, 100000s of students in a single night simply is too much to handle for a single city.

Rather than outright banning people from cycling thouoh, they should instead encorage them to spread out to multiple cities/locations. I imagine those places would love to each receive a manageable amount of visitors each.

It’s nice that it’s well integrated but that doesn’t mean it works well.

Power management of AMDGPUs has always been an absolute shitshow from my perspective.

With dGPUs they’ve now resorted to always running them in the highest power mode because they couldn’t get power management to properly function.

I can’t speak for modern intel GPUs but my old ones were fine.

Stable distros can and will backport security fixes. Good ones that is.
