  • So instead of commenting inside of nix files, you put nix files into .org documents and collate them so you can make your nix files an OS and a website and a zettelkasten-looking set of linked annotated nodes.

    That puts a stupid grin on my face (ᐖ )

    Dammit I was sure I was just going to stick with Arch until I saw this

    Questions:

    • You have home on tmpfs. Isn’t that volatile? Where do you put your data/pictures/random git projects? Build outputs? How’s your RAM? (Sorry if I’m missing something obv)
    • What’s your bootup like?
    • Another commenter mentioned difficulties in setting up specialized tools w/o containerizing, and another mentioned that containers still have issues. Have you run into a sitch where you needed to workaround such a problem? (e.g. something in wine, or something that needs FHS-wrangling)

  • Thanks for the input!

    I’m nervous about faking FHS as well, especially for specialized stuff. I don’t know much about steam-run or its caveats – so I can’t debug it (Maybe it turns out to be really simple and solid? Who knows…)

    Thanks for mentioning the gpu accel issues in distrobox – I was considering using containerization to fight off any FHS issues but it seems I can’t jump the gun. I’ll probably just tighten dev envs by trickling in nix-shell usage; multiple versions of a package at once is an issue I’d def love to solve (in a way that’s more than just dockerfile)

    Interesting that this is the third comment suggesting just using btrfs snapshots to resist Arch update experiences. I have root and home on two flat btrfs subvols so it shouldn’t be that hard to implement. (yeah yeah “What backup?” is bad)

    Seems like the simplest way out is those two smallish changes. Wish I could transcend into declarativity but the thread’s nix survivor ratio is grim



  • Yeah I was considering using one of these two, out of curiosity.

    I’ve heard complaints about CMake… on pre-2015 forums, so I don’t know where it’s at now.

    I’ve done very little from the developer side of Meson but I do recall having tried a sound theme that, inexplicably, had a Meson-based installer. (It was just .ogg files iirc.) That’s probably a good sign if someone picked it over an install.sh

    Though you’re right, there’s probably little advantage in me not using a Makefile here, except again, curiosity




  • Hah, stochastic parrots.

    Makes me wonder. Every laziness I’ve had with the vector guessers, I’ve seen an exact counterweight.

    Here’s random code. Pray it works Free ancient code at man 3 getifaddrs.
    How does this API work? (when the API has below 10 million sample lines of code) Incredibly concise documentation worth spending 2 minutes on or HTML text without margin lines worth spending 20 minutes on
    Maybe this is what’s causing your bug. Investigate a, b, and c. Conclusion sentence. footnote in ArchWiki / archetypal 2009 StackOverflow duplicate
    Here’s the main idea of X… you need to take into account a combination of facets to ensure safety. Angry blog post about X that’s oddly technical (now you see both sides)

    One, you can invoke more often (throw ChatGPT configs against the wall until it doesn’t error); the other you can invoke more deeply. So I can’t help but wonder – when we cancel out all the terms – if the timesaving sum is positive or negative. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
