Lemmy, what are your "missed flight" stories?
  • Hope everything turns well for you.

    Here’s my story:

    Didn’t get any email that the flight time was changed to 3 hours earlier.

    App on the watch told me that I should go to the airport as soon as I woke up, but I ignored it.

    When we got to the airport we didn’t see our flight on the screen. We went to the counter and got strange faces from staff. “Sir your flight departed 2h ago”.

    After 10 minutes of waiting with not much information we get a flight that’s departing in 20 minutes for no extra cost.

    It wasn’t a direct flight like the missed one, but we arrived to our final destination an hour later than initially planned.

    I checked how could I avoid this in the future and noticed that the pdf with boarding pass had the updated flight time, but the email that included this boarding pass had wrong time. Booked via kiwi because airlines website had troubles with charging my credit card for some reason.

  • Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?
  • I perfectly fit the described persona.

    I think whoever is here now cares about the federation/open source. If you don't care about this why would you be here instead of reddit with more active communities? You need active communities to make people that only care about the content to switch.

  • I will be returning from a month-long vacation next week. Let’s see if my arch machine will break completely!
  • I wouldn’t call it coding. It’s more about writing configurations. You have to provide a list of packages you need and some configuration for them like configuring default desktop environment. I recommend searching for dotfiles repos with configuration.nix on github to get an idea.

  • Is it just me, or does NixOS almost feel like a different operating system from Linux?
  • Community is growing fast in recent years and more and more companies are using it. I know a big real estate company is using it but you won't hear about nixos when buying a property from them.

    It's same like unit tests or static typing. It's extra work and some don't think the benefits are worth it. On top of that the learning curve for nix is steep.
