What is/was your distrohopping journey?
  • Window -> Mint -> Mint Debian -> Arch -> NixOS (not complete yet)

    I am incredibly happy with NixOS, I love having my entire OS and software configuration in a GIT repo, commits and comments included.

  • FOSS enthusiasts, what SaaS do you currently pay for?
    • Bitwarden: I could host it myself, but it's better if it is secretly elsewhere in case I need up...
    • Backblaze: backups from my server (to which everything else will soon backup to)
    • Spotify: it's convenient
    • GPhotos: until I'm done migrating to Immich locally
    • PIA: yarr, and also avoiding region stuff
  • Immutable Distros: What you should know - An introduction into image based systems (Part 1)
  • Actually that is exactly what I'm looking to do for my upcoming home server - configure and define everything via NixOS so that I can almost instantly reprovision it should I have to (restore from backup on hardware issues, recover from borked software upgrades, etc).

    Setting up solid backups is important to me, so I plan to bake the full setup into the configuration. That allows me to test everything in a VM first and then apply it all with a simple GIT fetch and rebuild once I commit to hardware.

    It's aspirational so far, but the more I read the more sense it makes to me. My own desktop won't be far behind if all of that works...

  • New teaser for Netflix’s 3 Body Problem series will make you want to play the game
  • And I liked the second book the most, now we have all three books covered in these comments.

    First one was okay, third one just went off the rails for me. Interesting, but the story failed to continue to engage me.

    Agree on the adaption though, especially given the recent record of bad ones.

  • Deutschlandtakt

    Maps and graphs about the planned integrated clock-face schedule in Germany.

    Nettes Video über den Deutschlandtakt. Finde den Kanal auch insgesamt sehr gut: https://www.youtube.com/@Traines/videos .

  • I'm playing A Plague Tale: Innocence for the first time – really enjoying the medieval flair and great graphics, though it is definitely a linear game (not my usual cup of tea, but exceptions obviously apply).

    I'll be playing Baldur's Gate 3 as soon as my COOP friends have time for it... it is installed and ready to go! Very much looking forward to this.

    All of them running great on Linux too, which is just amazing.

  • Heißester Tag seit Beginn der Klimamessungen
