If you're not using a standard DE (Gnome, KDE,...) but rather something like i3, Hyprland,... then I highly recommend starting with home-manager on whatever distro you're currently on. Once you're happy with that setup, it's really easy to add the "rest of the system" without risking a giant headache because your desktop still needs to be configured

Isn't the --remote-host missing here? (Since you're using --remote-sudo?)

Sure, but if everyone said it differently, than that would also be part of the language. I don't disagree with you, I just think you've described language (in this context) 😄

...no?

I think what plays into this is also language. In English / to you, I presume it makes perfect sense to say "Pi is approximately three point one four". In other languages (for me, German) the literal translation "Pi ist ungefähr drei Punkt eins vier" sounds awful and wrong. We say "Pi ist ungefähr drei Komma eins vier" ("Pi is approximately three comma one four") so we also write it like this 🤷🏼‍♀️

NixOS on my Laptop, Desktop, Gaming Machine, and around 10 servers.

Still have two servers on Arch, waiting to be migrated, and I'm really itching to but NixOS on the Steam Deck as well.

This is the first time I see the entire comic, huh.

Andi Scheuer standing next to Ron de Santis is the crossover I never knew I wanted.

Still don't, actually. Because I fucking hate it.

One of today's lucky 10.000 😄

Damn. Guess you're not interested in my vision for Web5 then, huh? It's a shame. I think an internet consisting exclusively of JS-free personal sites only accessible via IPoAC will really catch on.

Oh, absolutely. In case it wasn't clear, I'm against chatcontrol.

They don't actually have to enforce that though. Rather, it's a neat trick: if you do use encrypted chats, well, you're purposefully doing something illegal! To hide information, no less! That surely means you have more to hide, and since you've already broken a law, let's investigate further!

To be clear: I'm not saying this is the intended effect. But it is a frighteningly possible one. Anyone who has reason to hide their communication (regime critical activists, opposition politicians, investigative journalists,...) either have to

• accept that their communication will be scanned, making it trivial to spy on them and use that information (legally, no less!) to hinder/stop them, or
• do something illegal, giving pretext for hindering/stopping them since they've now committed a crime

Why not just use home-manager on arch?

Didn't know about this, but sounds like a good cause.

Is there any legal risk involved with this? Is it recommended to run behind a VPN?

Wait HTC is making phones again??

Oh, uh, I got this: trans women are part of the gay agenda. You see, Alpha Males like him would obviously not go quietly into the women-less night, so the Gays have cooked up a devious plan to turn all men gay via trans women subbing in for RealTM women, so that once the time comes, men won't have a problem with getting rid of women! It's the perfect, devious plan! It explains everything, from why there's suddenly more trans women to only further proving his theory right!

Remember, it doesn't have to make sense in the real world, only in his own twisted mind.

Same. Also German btw 😄

I guess he's seeing the existence of trans women as proof of his theory.

"Trans women are trying to replace RealTM women" is a surprisingly common TERF talking point.
