with nixos, the states of all the config files are collected into the nix configuration which you can modify manually.

Okay now that’s cool. Now I’m getting it.

I guess that happens even if you install nix in another OS?

Maybe that’s what I’m missing then. So with NIX, I need to make all config changes through it? I can’t change any config files myself? Or start a program with a certain flag?

you can (at least in theory) copy your centralized exact configuration to another computer and get an OS that behaves exactly the same and has all the same packages.

As can you with grepping your history of apt commands? And back up that to a file of a few dozen kilobytes too.

Am I stupid?

I don’t understand what this has that any other package manager, yum, apt etc doesn’t.

dependencies stored in their own unique directory

Yeah so?

I tend to think that extensions for websites should be treated as feature requests by the website. Reddit for example should have just incorporated RES features.

One I liked was tags for users to I could remember who they are better.

Just ditch your .tmux.conf and use oh my tmux. It should have everything you’re looking for.

Whistle.

Can happen to anyone. Bad luck. Good for you in moving on.

But we’re a family! They told me!

I don’t think they’re that wet. Not the ones I use anyway. I just turn off the laptop and wipe it down, keys and all. If you wanted you could leave it to air out for a while. But if you’ve seen under a keyboard, it’s all a lot of plastic and then the switches. You could even spill a drink on a laptop and it’ll be fine if you let it dry.

I use baby wipes. Works great.

Desktop has been offloaded onto gaming laptop.

You’re still right. You forgot just deciding to rent a place out downtown with your girlfriend on a whim. How life is supposed to be.

It felt like we, as a society, had so much optimism for the world that was to come. So, if anything, I think that’s what I’m mostly nostalgic for. I was so excited to grow up in that world. Damn.

We lived through the dawn of internet for the masses. It’s like seeing the start of the Iron Age. Historians in the future will wonder about proper like us and what went through our minds, seeing this huge inflection point in human history, and it’s not finished yet. The effects are still rippling.

You can make a telephone call now, with video, for free, to anywhere in the world. Even chatting to random strangers. The world has shrunk and we’re all getting to know each other and looking around and seeing what’s bullshit and what’s not. It’s slow progress but it’s happening.

US/Israel’s genocide live streamed is going to change the world order for example. The optimism was well placed.

But at tremendous cost to the poor sharks.

Deep Space 9 is light years better than TNG.

This is the only correct answer.

Probably Zionist losers having trouble with recorded history again.
