I use xmonad and won’t switch until there’s a viable alternative (probably never).

Remove the subsidies on agricultural products that get sprayed with glyphosate to increase yield. Corn, wheat, and potatoes in this country are poison because of the chemicals they spray them with…then they go and put that tainted product into sugars like HCFS.

Capitalism turns anyone into a fucking soulless ghoul.

I have MPV setup to play any YouTube link when I press ctrl cmd m with a YouTube video url in my clipboard.

I did this with /r/Cardano mods back before Reddit was blocking all mention of the fediverse even in PM’s. I managed to get one of them to help mod my Cardano communities. I’d wager that it’s exceedingly hard to get in touch with mods over there now that Huffman is blocking fediverse recruitment.

It’s hard to find instances that offer what world offers, so I get it.

OTOH, I ended up moving or handing over most of my communities that I had created on world because this instance is TOO popular and bogged down all the time. Plus, they make arbitrary and drastic decisions without discussion on matters like defederation and often banning. It’s smart to go to a smaller instance but it’s also risky because any instance could go down at any moment. That’s why many of my communities are duplicated (across world and infosec) because it would be devastating to lose all of those quality links and engagement.

This is a barely-disguised ad.

I have a Pelican 1510 that I keep my camera stuff in as well as many other pelicans of different sizes; however, I don’t keep any batteries inside the cases…especially any that are Lithium Ion. I also keep a big packet of desiccant in the cases to prevent mold and fungus from spreading inside if left for long periods of time, unattended. These two items work together perfectly to preserve my gear. I suspect I could leave this gear in the cases for 100 years and come back to find all of it (except batteries) in 100% pristine condition.

Lemmy hug of death?

If they’re storing it right, it is content addressed, meaning that their servers are aware of duplicates because each file is hashed.

thanks so much for sharing. I’ll give it a look.

It pulls in flakes from flakes. So, unless I want to travel the whole dependency graph down all of the flakes and put them in my top-level flake, I have to use impure. 😕

I only go there to steal content that I then enhance manually. I always had a kneejerk reaction against the hackernews reposts on Reddit. So, I try to make my content cloning less conspicuous and I make sure to enhance the content with more depth when I bring it here.

It’s kind of a ghost town so far. But if we can wrestle control of social media away from corporate control, democracy across the world will be stronger for it. Regardless, I’m here for the long haul, making contributions FAR exceeding my efforts on Reddit.

Why the fuck is Plex even a company? Attention venture capitalists: Get your money grubbing fingers the fuck off decent technologies that should in no way be tied to profit-seeking. We live in a dystopian hellscape.

I know it’s a strange place for this conversation but the facts remain: docker images don’t do this and nix flakes actually do. As the video I linked demonstrates and you allude to, Docker files aren’t 100% hermetic (which means they’re not reproducible) while Nix flakes actually do achieve this. Watch the video I linked for more explanation which directly talks about how nix works with the goals of Docker that you mentioned in the head of your last comment. I hope my non-confrontational tone comes across somehow. This is all said with respect and in the spirit of science.

No offense but it sounds like you don’t actually understand nix flakes if you think they’re 1:1 equivalent to Docker.

They simply are not containers. They allow the declarative BUILD of any derivation at any time in the future. They hermetically lock all dependencies and build instructions which allows you to archive and reproduce the EXACT content-addressed dependency graph of the software. You can rebuild using a flake while Docker doesn’t actually allow that same hermetic reproducible guarantee whatsoever.

See here for a much better explanation of the glaring differences between the two: https://youtu.be/0uixRE8xlbY

You could even build a container with a flake though I’d recommend OCI instead because they’re an open standard…
