Setting aside the ridiculous nature of this move towards OS-level verification, NixOS (and Guix) is the last distro to worry about when it comes to age verification. Why? Given the nature of how NixOS works (config-driven), the maintainers

Okay, but why do this now ? If it’s such an important feature and unrelated to the barrage of legislation, why was this not implemented a few months or years ago?

Damn this is crazy!

Indeed, Proxmox VE is an amazing product.

Sometimes unification can be an advantage. I run Proxmox at home, but now that I have been drinking the NixOS koolaid over the past 2 years, all of my homelab problems suddenly look like Nix-shaped nails.

As did Crunchyroll.

Yes, apparently this is what Netflix is doing. But the only real world impact is that the device that was used to stream that 4K content gets blacklisted at the hardware level. To workaround this, piracy groups try to batch 4K rips because

Already exists, although I don’t know how well maintained it is: https://github.com/henrysipp/omarchy-nix Personally, I don’t see the need for this with NixOS. Setting aside the fact that Omarchy is way too opinionat

It is a more user friendly abstraction on top of Nix. Most people don’t want or need to understand the specifics of Nix or the Nix language. Btw, I say this as a huge fan and heavy user of both Nix and NixOS.

+1. I would also recommend using Github search to look for existing examples.

nixos.org is the official wiki. It will take time for search ranking to beat the old one.

If the Python 2 to 3 migration took a decade, isn’t it reasonable for a display server migration to take even more time to stabilize? Especially given: (1) The (relatively) fragmented reality of Linux distros and desktop managers. I am sure

Ah, perhaps I misread your conclusion then. I hope COSMIC irons out the issues.

No, because you’re concluding from your experience and a single article that Wayland in general is bad. I am saying that perhaps your experience has nothing to do with Wayland directly, so maybe you should still give Wayland a chance. You c

Sure, let’s throw some monke- I mean agents in a room and see if they can make something better than X11 and Wayland - each of which has had 10s of thousands of man hours put into them.
106.
by Cyph0n 7mo ago
Could the problem be COSMIC? Put differently, why do you assume that the issue is with Wayland rather than the work System76 did to support Wayland? Because many other DMs and WMs do not have issues with Wayland.

by Cyph0n 7mo ago
I have been thoroughly enjoying Wayland with Niri. It is snappy, looks beautiful on my 4K monitor, and handles X11 emulation perfectly (via xwayland-satellite). I have not seen any major issues with OBS, clipboard handling, or any applicati

Me personally? No. Us collectively? Absolutely. Was an individual mind responsible for us as humanity landing on the moon? No. Could an individual mind have achieved this feat? Also no. Put differently, we should be comparing the compressed

Oh sorry - I misread your suggestion! I thought you were talking about separate matchmaking logic for known cheaters, but you're asking about opt-in matchmaking for those willing to use invasive anticheat. The example still kind of app

It also just be the typical “don’t scare the shareholders just yet” PR speak. Time will tell.

The bigger problem is it sets us on a possible path towards completely government-controlled computing devices. The fact that so many countries are pursuing ID requirements online is somewhat of a canary for this whole OS age check thing im

It is biased - interestingly less than expected on this topic because Iran is shelling them - but the idea is to read something to counteract Western bias. Asian outlets (non-Japanese) are another good source.

I am not following. Is it not the definition of hypocrisy to essentially cry about how international law has always been dead, and then unflinchingly support an act in violation of international law a few weeks later?

Iran has been sanctioned for decades. As a result, they do not have a modern airforce, navy, or even air defense systems. So it is completely unsurprising that USIS has complete air superiority. You can rest assured that Iran has planned fo

The beautiful irony is that Carney initially went all in supporting this illegal war of aggression. It seems he tempered his language a bit since then. Perhaps his team realized how hypocritical he sounds after that whole speech on Greenlan

by Cyph0n 7mo ago
You should sprinkle in a few other news sources because that’s not what is happening at all. Iran also has further escalation paths it can take. So far, they have only been targeting US-affiliated targets in the Gulf. You can imagine what w

I think you mean when the US and Israel decide to start an unprovoked war “on a whim”.

Absolutely, especially in the KSA.
