  • Cool, thanks for releasing the source.

    Curious if anyone is using Nix and NixOS in production outside of personal projects. I've been dabbling in it and it would solve some problems well, but I'm cautious about inflicting Nix upon anyone who isn't already at least attracted to the Nix mindset.

    You have to be a particular type of insane (which I am, not a bad thing) to go all in on Nix, and I'm interested in how that pans out in a team environment where not everyone is a Nix enthusiast. How is onboarding, turnover, velocity etc.

    edit: I'm also curious about deployment and costs of running this Lemmy instance are like. What's the stack look like when deployed, what are the monthly ingress/egress, how much CPU time does it use, etc.

  • Quickly recapping my Whole Dumb Story so far: ever since puberty, I've had this obsessive sexual fantasy about being magically transformed into a woman, which got contextualized by these life-changing Sequences of blog posts by Eliezer Yudkowsky that taught me (amongst many other things) how fundamentally disconnected from reality my fantasy was. So it came as a huge surprise when, around 2016, the "rationalist" community that had formed around the Sequences seemingly unanimously decided that guys like me might actually be women in some unspecified metaphysical sense.

    Goddamn, what an opening. I really hope this is an elaborate troll and not someone driven insane by internet transphobia and the Sequences.

    Not gonna all read that, though.

  • Any time I try to upvote or downvote comments I get this error:

    Error: invalid_bot_action

    Not sure if that's related. I tried logging out and logging in again, clearing caches/cookies, etc.

  • Both those comments are voted down and replies aren’t agreeing.

    They weren't when I posted them.

    HN has its biases and problems, but I think you’re misrepresenting it.

    No I'm not.

    Oh and link to the entire thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38979970

    No, I'm linking the posts with the actual content in the OP.

    Federating was a mistake.
