The config files literally won’t compile if there is an incompatibility or error in the code.

Also, every distro has an audience who love to brag about it. The worst part of being a Nix user is I can no longer say “Arch BTW”.

I’m still a Linux noob all things considered, and I’ve been using NixOS for six months or more.

It is HARD, but I see the true value of it. I will never need to reinstall Linux because I broke it, that’s simply impossible.

If I ever need to migrate my system, it’s all backed up to github. With a single

Bash update.sh

every single .config file backed up, system upgraded, all packages updated.

I just love Nix, it’s the perfect OS for me.

Now I just need to learn how to use flakes…

Sidebar: I’ve never asked before, but maybe someone can help me out. If I install a flake of an application, am I supposed to add it to the existing flake, or can I modulate flakes?

I’ve noticed when installing the nixvim flake it generates a new flake and it runs when I issue the

nix run ~/.dotfiles/nixvim/flake.nix

command, but I don’t want to have to run that command every time. I feel like making a fish abbreviation isn’t the correct way of doing this.

Ha. You want STABLE, use NixOS.

If you’re cannot parse the configuration file, you don’t update. It is perfectly, 100% stable, about 60% of the time (when I change my config file without an error).

You can also buy wolf piss but everyone loses their mind when a girl with pink hair sells her farts :(

It’s tangential, but I often struggle to start things unless I can do it perfectly.

I have to remind myself “done is better than perfect”.

Protip: in your car, adjust your rear view mirror, so its angled higher than your resting position. This way you’re reminded to straighten your back and sit upright. Furthermore, the back of your head should touch the headrest.

(From previous replies to this advice, some of you have shit car-seats and/or head rests, so modify this advice to suit you.)

Protip 2: an amazing exercise to practice: stand with your back against a wall, with your feet one foot away from the wall. Try to press the lowest point of your skull against the wall, as high as you can (your chin should feel like it’s tucked slightly).

Then, raise your arms flat against the wall, like the picture below. You’ll need to move your arms around slightly, but you’ll eventually feel the perfect spot where your spine begins to straighten out.

Hold this position for a minute. Do this multiple times a day and your posture will improve drastically.

Ted talks have sucked for at least 8 years

Obviously there are workarounds, but I suppose it provides a good justification for parents to deny their kids access to social media.

Maintain eye contact.

Shit makes me so uncomfortable. Look at me all you want, that’s fine. I’m going to look at that plant.

If you want to look at that plant, I’ll look at you, but you can’t have both.

Unless we both look at the plant. That’s fine too.

You’re not alone in not living up to your principles, virtually nobody can.

I once tried to vet all the products I was buying to make sure I wasn’t contributing to slave labour, or deforestation, or animal exploitation, and it was exhausting.

It was good to identify brands which were absolute villains, and I still avoid them like the plague, but the amount of willpower it takes to travel to multiple stores and pick only the lesser of evils is something I’m not capable of right now.

I make gradual improvements, which is sustainable.

I am dead-set on repairing what I can, and hate spending money on new things.

Removed by mod

My mother does wildlife rescues, birds are mostly, then goes home and cooks a roast chicken.

She knows it’s hypocritical. Cognitive dissonance is weird.

Also, it’s not so alienating. I attend dinners with my family, and I’ll eat roast vegies, and bring a side-dish for myself. Over time a few of my friends became vegan (I didn’t convince them to) and it’s exciting to share recipes.

If nothing else, reduce your meat intake over time.

As with most changes people make, the more drastic, the more unlikely it is to stick.

When I became vegan I was a slut for KFC burgers, and I “failed” a few times, but I just kept reminding myself it’s not good for anyone, and mustered up the will power to drive past, and eat at home instead.

Based on its position, you can tell she’s bending over.

Freddy Got Fingered

I knew a girl, whose mother sold off her house because a mystic/fortune teller/crystal fellator/astrologist told her to.

Now, whether she just inferred this on her own, or the scam artist explicitly suggested it, the outcome was the same.

Making real life decisions based off a set of tarot cards is not wise.

There’s a much easier way.

https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-jellyfin/#usage

Copy the text from the docker-compose section, and paste it into a file called compose.yaml

You can also add your other programs which rely on each other (Sonarr/Radar/qBitttorrent) in this same compose.yaml file (you can find them on this website).

When copying the other programs, omit the lines:

---
Services:

After that, in your terminal, navigate to where the compose.yaml file is, and run this command

docker compose up -d

Now your suite of applications are installed and can talk to each other.

You’ll need to change some of the details of the compose file (to set timezones and media directories).

You can restart programs with

docker restart jellfin

LinuxServer.io are basically your one-stop shop for home-server applications

Are you using the LSIO docker image, or did you install it manually via the official website instructions?

That’s why I always:

• cd .cache
• ls
• rm -r *

I mean…

1000 inhabitants with only one male.

Anyone else get the urge to pull the hat down?
