I get what you're saying but implying someone who doesn't use the cloud is not a "normal person" and lives in a basement is needlessly condescending. Not an average or "normal" computer user? Granted. Not a nor

Now we can place bets on personal blogs! $50 that xeiaso.net will overtake justine.lol this year. (Kidding of course, they're two of my favorite sites.)

Of course, the software that goes onto a NixOS installation is the same as on most other Linux distros so it's not any different in that regard. What I was trying to say is the config management aspect - especially when used with an ep

Sorry to be that person but: As someone who's been using NixOS as their daily driver for about three years (after switching to it from Debian) and is currently trying out a MacBook I can tell you that NixOS provides a very different ex

If you're looking for something different in AAA shooters, try Splatoon. It's basically the antithesis to classic shooter tropes and it has a whole world of art designed around it (with fictional bands, promotional art for in-game

To clarify maybe, NixOS puts all configuration and program files it handles in a world-readable object store on disk. If you want to manage secrets on NixOS securely, you have two choices: - Manage it out of band. That negates all of the be

Isn't screen reader support implemented using AT-SPI over D-Bus? So I would expect it to be independent of the window system. On https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Accessibility/AT-SPI2/ it even says: >

What I like about Go is not the language itself (I'm not a language designer but I dislike a lot of choices that Go makes) but the entire culture around it of doing things the idiomatic way and moving on. I'm someone who, if you g

I think parent was pointing out that you need Linux to run Docker (since it doesn't run natively on any other OS) which is different from what Cosmopolitan provides. Edit: Ok, apparently it natively supports Windows for Windows contain

My first thought was "How does it handle untrusted input?" and they have a page dedicated to it: https://rkyv.org/validation.html But the phrasing on that page does not exactly inspire confidence ("...good de

I was thinking of the case where your server has to send out bounce mail but I guess if it's configured right, it should also just relay that.

by t0astbread 3y ago
How does that work exactly? Do you set up your server as higher priority MX and the external provider as backup and then configure your server to relay outbound mail through that other service? And all your server has to have is a valid cer

Flakes will hopefully be that soon but I wouldn't recommend starting with flakes when learning Nix in 2023. They're experimental and you still need to learn most of flake-less Nix (except channels and NIX_PATH) anyways. When I sta

Given that the repo says "Just some little toys." in the description[1], I don't think this is made to be used in production. Otherwise it would be an interesting idea but also more or less what Lombok is for Java. [1] https

When I write tooling for myself in Go, I usually wrap all of my errors with stacktraces since I hate having to grep for a string that may be interpolated or duplicated throughout the codebase. Addendum: It is still a good thing to be able t

Browsing the site on Tor Browser gave me a Google 403 page until I cycled circuits a few times. Makes perfect sense given the blog is hosted on GCP but it did make me pause initially and consider if that was some sort of joke I'm not g

That's neat but doesn't `case` support fallthrough? So I expect you could just put your script in one big `case` statement and skip to the branch you need.

The big difference then vs. now is that with CAPTCHAs you can (generally) choose to complete them from a wider range of browsers and devices that have no corporate approval (unless it's that one Cloudflare CAPTCHA that gets stuck in an

Generally agree but I don't think Secure Boot falls in this category unless the keys are locked in firmware (and in that case the firmware is the problem). Root passwords aren't evil either just because they can be withdrawn from

Why would fragmentation imply you can't have a GUI? You would just pick one toolkit and depend on it being there (unless you statically link it). Setting it up correctly is then the job of the user or distributors.

Doesn't that still leave YouTube with one unique IP address that all your traffic is originating from? It would in any case close off some tracking vectors if you also use other Google products from your home IP address but I guess you
