America is ratchet
  • Local and state primaries are a thing, and local politics probably affect you more anyway. It's better to start a movement from the bottom up rather than top down.

    What's your most profound "small world" moment?
  • I was in Iceland for vacation, so I was waiting in line for a rental car. I hear a very familiar voice in front of me and I realized it was a good friend from high school I whom hadn't seen or really talked to in years.

    Is NixOS at the advent of an implosion? | Community inquiry on recent drama
  • I'm not the op, but I've been using guix for several months on a new fairly top of the line desktop PC and it's going great. I've been able to play steam games and set up my dev environment with basically no issues.

    The catch is you need to use non-official repositories (i.e. https://github.com/nonguix/nonguix) to use the non-libre kernel and other software not on the official channel.

    There's also this nice little search engine - https://toys.whereis.みんな/ - where you can look for packages from other repos (or channels as they are called in guix).

    I use Nix on my macos work laptop to set up my dev environment, but I definitely prefer guix so far, mostly due to the it being configured in guile over the weird nix language. The biggest advantage I see of Nix is that it has a bit more features and lots more packages.

    I am a pretty hardcore emacs user and lisp lover though, so ymmv.

  • It's from the story of Samson in the Bible.

    The quote goes something like this:

    Then Samson said, “With a donkey’s jawbone I have made donkeys of them. With a donkey’s jawbone I have killed a thousand men.”
