Fuck, you have forced me to look that up and there is indeed a rule34 of miata the car.

There’s no owl. It really is that dead simple. This isn’t windows where everything is super complicated, unintuitive, and hard to do.

Oh lol. You’re not on unstable?

Uh oh. I thought it’s a common practice to use stable by default and unstable where needed for stability. Is this less common than I thought?

Around half a year based off my commits which in retrospect is a short amount of time. It took me off guard because it felt like around a year before checking. Probably because of the steep learning curve that put me through a lot in a short amount of time. Lol

I guess I will have my coming of age ceremony when I will bother doing my first major nixos update since I haven’t bothered doing one yet as I haven’t felt the need to warrant spending the time on it. ❄️

Oof. Good to know. I’m lucky enough to only use it personally on a smaller scale where once something is set up I don’t need to touch it again and if I do it’s easy to do with the previously set up foundation. Do you regret using NixOS? Or do you think there are better alternatives in which case which ones?

It’s interesting to see how some people switch with ease and some struggle with it a lot. Haha

1. I like having the same system configuration across machines and be sure that everything is the same.

2. I like having all configuration in one place and have comments near the relevant code for extra clarity.

3. Nixos makes setting up root on ZFS a breeze.

4. System as nix configuration makes it very easy to track changes with version control and informative commits.

5. If I fuck up the system I can easily boot into older generation.

6. System can rebuild only if everything (with proper checks) succeeds giving you a greater confidence in things working.

7. System reinstals are quick and easy so on hardware failure you can go back to work very quickly without having go spend days and weeks getting your system so vagualy similar state as before.

8. Nixos made it easy for me to set up mirrored boot so my system will still work fine when one of my boot drives fails.

9. I get to know what is actually installed on my devices and can easily get rid of it.

10. No dependency hell.

11. I can easily try out a program before installing it permanently with nix shell.

12. Impermanence helps me ensure that every folder and file that I need to keep is documented and keeps them in one place for very easy backups and I have 100% confidence at my backups have everything important.

And many other bigger and smaller things that I can’t remember right now. I’d honestly be interested in solutions simpler than nix providing the same or greater benefits with more simplicity.

E: Also, because my original comment wasn’t well worded I will mention that I meant that once you learn how to work with nixos things become easier and once you get the setup going it’s just there continuing to work since the effort is paid in advance and you continue getting the benefits just like that.

humanConfiguration."user".gender  = {
  enable = false;
  #female.enable = true;
  #male.enable = lib.mkForce false; 
};

Yeah, nixos btw is a big commitment that works only if you have enough time and/or you highly value what it provides. Though if you have lots of time to get past the learning curve and get things going the maintenance becomes much less of an issue later on which is nice.

There’s a fucking official app for prayers?!

I won a 100+ USD giveaway once a few years ago from a company of a niche program that I like. To participate I had to make a twitter post about the program, what I like about it, and their current sale. As I didn’t have twitter I created a quick account, wrote a whatever post that literally no one would have seen, and then submitted my entry. I ended up being one of the 5 winners. Lol

Study, study, study, study, study, study!

Make that 10. <3

Similar reaction to memes about modern software being slow and bloated where linux users in the comments have a smug circlejerk about using linux like it magically changes how the same damn programs and webpages run. I find that very cringe and I say that as a NixOS btw user myself.

Yes.

Okay, that put things into scale for me.

Ouroboros is ouroboros.

Is it published anywhere?

I mean, the top level comment refers to the title and not things breaking in general where OP complained about needing to troubleshoot right now before being able to be productive. Being able to postpone troubleshooting to when you can afford it is a massive benefit exactly for this reason where you need to get things done now or just want to do something else in the moment. For the same reason my root is on a ZFS pool with 2-way mirrored vdevs and I have (non-zfs) mirrored boot set up as well. No matter which of my drives fails I can take care of it later without any impact on my productivity or loss of data. I never used hyperland but heard of it stability issues ever so vaguely and while choosing different window manager (because that’s what it is to ppl) may have solved this specific issue at the cost of sacrificing preferences the expectation for your system to never break is absurd. Things will always break at some point and it can come from any direction. Being able to hande the breakage gracefully is the key part.
