   +1, only reach for Proxmox first if you’re really interested in learning it.

   I never tried Bazzite, but have been using Jovian, which is a NixOS-based gaming setup. I have heard that CachyOS (Arch) and Nobara (Fedora) are two other decent options.

   That’s one reading. The other reading is that Iran tried pursuing nuclear power through legal means (since the 50s!), but deals were reneged and obstacles were put up at every turn. They then pursued enrichment on their own terms while keep

   Okay, so your idea is that cloud providers should make this even easier? $ nixos-rebuild build-image --flake .#myhost --image-variant amazon $ aws-cli image upload < result/images/image.ami $ aws-cli create vm --i

   It’s fairly trivial to map your NixOS config into a VM image: https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/#sec-image-nixos-rebui... An alternative is to “infect” a VM running in whatever cloud and convert it into a

   Agreed, the learning curve is insane and docs are sparse. But it is truly worth it imo, even if you’re just using Nix as a build tool, or using Home Manager on Linux or macOS.

   Keep in mind that this setup is a one-time cost. Also, a lot of the code is related to configuring it the way the author wants it (via Home Manager). Generally speaking, once you have a working NixOS config, incremental changes become extre

   Also, you get the ability to use Rc (non-atomic refcount) as long as you’re not in a multithreaded env. The atomic version is Arc, which is similar to C++ shared_ptr. And there are no footguns to using Rc. More specifically, you cannot mist

   Wait, that’s a brilliant way of encoding a watermark without having to embed it within a stream per user. If a single video has say 100 segments, you get more than enough unique combinations to guarantee uniqueness. There would of course ha

    It depends. The most common reason is bitrate - the non-Netflix could have been ripped from another source (BD), or even from another service that has rights to the show in a different market (with higher bitrate). The other trick some grou

    For Netflix specifically; it’s because the groups that rip 4K content from Netflix burn a device (i.e. a Widevine L1 key). This is why they typically release 4K Netflix shows in batches. Here is a good thread on the topic: https:/&#x2

    Similar journey, different distro! I wanted a Linux gaming machine, but given my recent admission into the cult of NixOS, I went with Jovian. Jovian is a NixOS module that sets up a SteamOS-like experience on top of your existing NixOS conf

    Yes, but imo only if it’s done strategically and at a cost: if you want a bailout, you cede an ownership stake in return. What I mean by the former is we shouldn’t, for example, be bailing out cruise lines.

    I have made my points; you have made yours. And like I said, do not start complaining when your cause is put on the suppression list. And since I am an LLM, I cannot engage any further here :)

    It’s January. My bad for not being as infallible as you are. That’s not what Romney said. His - and the wider establishment’s - concern is that unsanctioned content is allowed to be treated the same as any other content. Anyone knows that T

    Thanks for clarifying. HN is ~generally more software centric, so this context is helpful. So SPICE is a low-level circuit sim, and PLECS is a bit higher level as it ignores non-linearities at the device level. Does PLECS simulate at a leve

    Sure, but who is going to ship a DPDK application to end users? And how exactly would that work for existing user applications that are not DPDK aware? I think kernel networking is the only option for Tailscale (or any similar mesh VPN solu

    Well, according to this[1] bench, you can get ~10 Gbps with kernel WG. I'm interested in this because I'm working on a small hobby project to learn eBPF. The idea is to implement a "Tailscale-lite" that eliminates contex

    > Noting Tailscale, since it has been mentioned, has comparatively extremely slow performance. Isn't this mainly because Tailscale relies on userspace WG (wireguard-go)? I'd imagine the perf ceiling is much higher for kernel WG

    First, Oct 7th was not the start, but it can seem like that to those that regard Palestinians as subhumans who do not deserve liberation and instead are destined to live under the shackles of apartheid, blockade, and occupation. Secondly, t

    We clearly disagree on Gaza, but you brought it up. But my point with the comparison is that the protests in their current form are not worthy of this level of coordinated international coverage. The fact that this ramp up in coverage coinc

    1. Give me a call when the repression of local protests escalates into a 2 year long Western backed campaign of ethnic cleansing and genocide against a blockaded population. 2. Agree that it’s hard to tell for certain. 3. The truth is somew

    1. If you look closely, Western media is operating a coordinated campaign that is more interested than usual in what’s happening in Iran. 2. The scale of the protests is very likely overblown. 3. Iran’s purging of Mossad assets since the 12

    Disagree with almost everything you said; too lazy to have an extended back and forth. Let’s follow up in a few months and see who was right.
