ngl, good job

but

Give people the choice. Especially when sending graphics with small text, the loss of resolution is annoying

“lol”, said the scorpion. “lmao”

Doing the same for my S8

of course they’re not a drop-in replacement, as the cli is getting a major redesign, but as per your source

nix shell and nix develop are still experimental, so nix-shell is sticking around despite doing the same thing

it seems like they are made to fulfill the same purpose

Interesting, didn’t know the history of the command. But that post confirms my understanding, that nix shell/develop are the new replacements for nix-shell, with nix shell for temporary package installs and nix develop for debugging and developing

Don’t copilot anything longer than a function of about 15 lines. That way you can quickly see if it made mistakes. Ensure it works, move on to the next.

And only do that for boring, repetitive work. The tough challenges and critical parts you’re (for now) better off solving yourself.

Source on the second statement? My understanding was that nix-shell is legacy for systems without flakes and nix-command enabled, and are being replaced by nix shell/run/develop

Careful, there’s three different terms in the mix here:

NixOS: an entire operating system, you don’t need this.

nix: the nix package manager. This is what you’ll need to install. look for single user install in the instructions.

home-manager: a module for nix. It’s aim is to allow declarative configuration of a users’ home configuration (and allow easier per-user install of packages on a global nix install).

If you want to go down the nix route, which I would recommend if you enjoy tinkering and having fine control over your system, you should start with installing nix. With that, you can already setup a shell that has the newest version of python available.

Going beyond that, I can link you some more resources, if you want c:

Forgejo is a free/open source code hosting site like GitHub or Gitlab. It’s a fork of Gitea, over concerns with management and commercialization. You might know it from Codeberg, which is one of the largest managed instances, but it’s really easy to host your own.

I’m still rocking my S8 active, and I’ll keep doing it until the battery dies or catches fire. Nothing they’ve added to phones in the last 7 years is worth it, imo

Only problem is that the storage is almost full from apps leaking data into locations not accessible from userland, so I’ll have to root it at some point. But I’m confident it got another 2-3 years in it

I hate when people call everything AI without any reason or looking into it. It might be by the original author, or just a person imitating their style.

It’s actually by them, btw

I’d assume that’s already a bigger problem for satellites in geostationary orbit then?

“good news honey, they heard your complaint and renamed it”

Eating seeds as a pastime activity

For reproducibility, nothing really beats NixOS. That’s not really what you’re asking for, as that would not involve Clonezilla.

If you’re frequently switching hardware, and want to have everything up and running, configured to your liking, in minutes, you’re gonna have fun with NixOS in the long term. But I’m not gonna sugarcoat it, it has a steep learning curve and does require you to enjoy some tinkering. Worth it, imo

Otherwise, just pick a distro that you enjoy and create a separate home partition, when it’s time to switch you do a fresh install and clone only the home partition. That’ll get you 90% of the way to have your old setup on the new device

I think a more efficient tactic would be to, once a month, execute the person with the highest net worth. Billionaires would be scrambling to get rid of their money

For me it’s probably the way I self-host overleaf, a online LaTeX editor. The community version has a docker image that’s horribly maintained (because they want to sell enterprise, I reckon), and instead relies on a horrendous amalgamation of setup scripts that wrap docker compose.

What I have is a Dockerfile that pulls the image, manually installs a second version of TeX with the right dependencies, unlinks the old one and links the second one. Then for the database, it uses Mongo replsets, which be to be manually initialized. So I wrote a health check for the container that checks if the repl set is initialized, and if that fails the health check initializes it.

It’s horrendous, it’s disgusting, and it’s an all-in-one compose file to get overleaf running. Good enough.

Even then, the difference between 20 and 2000 characters is negligible

You just discovered the field of calculus! If you look closely enough at any smooth function it looks locally linear, and the slope of that linear function is it’s derivative

Not quite what’s happening here, here the problem is if you consider geodesics on a sphere to be straight. In special geometry they are, for all intents and purposes, but in higher euclidian geometry they form large circles
