Yes, but: it’s implemented in focking CSS!

Do you know how hard that is?

A friend of mine sees using GitHub as microslop paying reparations to open source.

What? I see two nines!

You should all try fresh (the editor)…

I like to use TODO comments for a lot of things. Especially for refactorings that I am not yet sure of.

Well, if you already have this stuff for VirtualBox? Not saying it’s good.

Known interface and automation apis?

Yes and no. I like the config language of GUIX better, but it has far fewer packages, and you are even more on your own figuring out how anything works. Choose your poison I guess.

Ok, but Cloud you Elaborate how the scraping destroys that bargain?

Not quite sure what kind of privacy you need, but matrix is reasonably easy to self host, and allows you to federate if you want.

Also has plenty of clients.

If you want low tech, hosting IRC is easy too.

They are currently adding calendar support, which is the most feature for me. We are looking for work it’s integration.

While I like Hurd, I like sel4 much better, and am slightly saddened, that development doesn’t focus on that more

Whichever compresses your data the smallest, while still having acceptable runtime?

I guess that means not install, or uninstall it?

Out of all the ways that I have tried in the past, to reproduce not just the initial state, but also the ongoing changes of a disto (ansible, saltstack, chef, bunch of Shell scripts) — nix is by far the shortest. With all of these technologies I would never have dreamed to do this for a single Maschine. But now it’s not only possible, but actually gasp enjoyable!

Mind you, if that is not the problem you want to solve, maybe install just the nix package manager in addition to your distribution, and learn to enjoy it without having to run your whole distribution this way.

Yeah, that works, but it means the services cannot be managed by systemctl as root anymore. Or am I missing something?

How do you do that? Please link a description. This has been a major stumbling block for me

While that is true, that is not how I would run services normally with SystemD. Those would be defined globally, but run as a user.

Definitiv then in the user home, means that I dint see them with systemctl which is very annoying.

Might it be, that you have also learned a bit here and there?
