+1, NixOS makes working with systemd a breeze. Defining units in Nix beats wrangling INI files. systemd.services.sync-recyclarr = { serviceConfig.Type = "oneshot"; path = [ pkgs.podman ]; script = ''

Uh, downvoting is definitely a useful tool to signal that you don’t agree with an opinion or subjective statement. But yes, downvoting a factual statement makes no sense.

u/fortran77 used the phrase so-called “Palestinian” movement (slightly edited since), so I simply responded with the same rhetoric :) Of course, I somehow doubt that you would have a similarly strong reaction when Palestine is erased

And how exactly is this situation worse than the unfair allocation of salaries and bonuses in companies today? Even within the same company, people can get paid more based on the org/division they work in (e.g. core AI teams), or even

No, that is not a “complex” position at all. On the contrary, it’s a fairly simple position where you take no strong stance but still want to claim the positive aspects from each side. Are unions universally good? No, because humans are in

Interesting. So that explains where the inspiration for the cult-like elements in Severance came from. The parallels between Lumon and IBM were fairly clear to me, save for this part.

Replace Iran and IRGC with Israel and IDF and you have a winner - one that is actually in possession of undeclared nuclear arms and refuses to cooperate with the IAEA.

Vim is definitely more efficient when it comes to navigation and manipulation (esp via macros), which are the two things we do the most as programmers. The added benefit I found is that Vim’s purely keyboard based design is much, much easie

Huh, the same person who was behind crushing the campus protests & blacklisting/cancellation of protestors at Harvard that were in opposition to the Gaza genocide.

I may be biased, but I find that GCP’s IAM story is simply way better.

One of humanity’s greatest inventions imo. Just imagine a world where we didn’t have the ability to mobilize a workforce in pursuit of a common goal.

It’s doing its own thing, mainly in Syria, Libya, and Somalia afaik.

Which country? Kuwait was “saved” by the US. The Iraq invasion was approved by the GCC, partly as payback for Kuwait, and anyways Iraq is not part of the GCC. The Qatar blockade was self-inflicted (and extremely stupid).

No. The UAE’s major issue is that KSA has finally awoken from its deep nonsensical slumber (I can elaborate further if there is interest). This is a battle of economies and regional influence.

Has the GCC been in an existential state of panic to the point where they’re seriously questioning their relationship with the US any time in the past 30 years?

Same, but Nix Home Manager for me.

I and many other NixOS users know what IaC is :) A NixOS config is a bit different because it’s lower level and is configuring the OS through a first-party interface. It is more like extending the distro itself as opposed to configuring an

Just to echo what others are saying: NixOS and Proxmox are the answer. I run both right now, but I am in the process of just running NixOS on everything. NixOS really is that good, particularly for homelabs. The module system and ability to

Just came back to this. In what world is Musandam mostly controlled by the UAE? Can you point this out on a map?

Are you referring to Ansar Allah? Do you know why they decided to shutdown Bab Al Mandab? So we are going to ignore the JCPOA? Also, the rumor is that there is another player in the region who has undeclared nuclear weapons and refuses IAEA

Any idea why they decided to shutdown the strait for the first time in decades? Or did they just suddenly wake up one day and decide that piracy is their calling? And that deployed ship will do nothing. The only way forward is a negotiated

Fairly self contained is an understatement. They proved time and again over the course of the past few years that they were not only pragmatic, but also a much more rational actor than Israel and the US.

I am not talking about stakes; I am talking about territory. Uh if you say so. Can you point me to the rule stating that I need to keep engaging in a discussion I am not interested in having?

First, look at a map. The strait is entirely contained by Omani and Iranian waters. Second, I don't have much else to say to you if you actually think that assassinating a head of state in the middle of active negotiations is anything

> Freedom of navigation is a core global principal And Iran has been respecting that principle for decades. So why exactly did the US and Israel (and GCC countries) think that the status quo would remain even if they keep antagonizing Ir

1. A non-trivial proportion of us voted for Trump. 2. Blatantly kidnapping and assassinating heads of state is the culmination of US foreign policy and not an anomaly. The machine is working as designed. The only foreign policy blunders I

As opposed to the West’s genocide of millions upon millions of natives across their colonial projects? How about the millions killed as a result (directly or indirectly) of wars of aggression in the global south? Or perhaps the ongoing &amp
