Along with Guix which is often mentioned together with Nix, there's also GoboLinux which has an interesting approach.

I don't think the global profile should be setting user paths. Just add the usual /bin /sbin and /usr variants of these. That way an unknowing user would be less likely to run into the issue you're describing.

I personally prefer not having comments at all in personal blogs. Tho the sytem seems robust and comprehensive, would be useful for those who want to incorporate comments in blog posts or support pages. An immediate criticism is that the

I don't really understand why the use of goto is to blame there. If it was not a double goto but a double return, that'd still lead to this bug, no?

I'll try, thanks, but I did restart it again... I was able to recollect some of the tabs via remembering them and searching through recent feeds and emails. Some importand to-be-read stuff are gone though.

Tabs are ephemeral. I just lost all my tabs after restarting Firefox to free up some memory, even though I set it up to restore them: https://www.gkayaalp.com/blog/20180326_quitting-firefox.html . Be careful using the

The best other service: a mailto: link. People do write e-mails on posts they like, sometimes. Also, 9 out of 10 comment threads under blog posts I've read are just plain stupid logorrhoea. Maybe a subreddit would work too?

As a daily user of org mode for notes, agenda, todo lists and word-processing (I LOVE IT) I'd recommend against using it for sth. like a blog. I did try. First of all it's a moving target, new syntax is introduced not-infrequent

Yeah that's until your CDN or hosting provider decides to censor your. Turns out those are a for profit centralised service too, way more often than not.

If WhatsApp is not lying about end-to-end encryption, FB don't have the data.

Not only the algorithm. Recently, using double quotes or plus sign before terms became useless, as it just lists results with the specific word you marked crossed over when there are not much exact hits.

Certainly but WhatsApp is rather privacy-friendly.

Guardian is a lovely newspaper. I particularly like the Long Reads, almost always interesting. They have a mailing list for that, and also a weekly news one, both just full of nice, useful content.

Compelled to use FB Messenger when WhatsApp is available? I don't think there are many people who have FB, but not WhatsApp.

Copyright is a menace to the society. Authors should maybe have a right on their work similar to what 2-clause BSD licence gives: if you reuse or distribute this, mention me please. The complex web of influences on each word spoken and ea

What social network is not a glorified RSS feed with one or more means of messaging bolted on (including "likes" and "+1s" and "favs" and "retweets" and whatnot)?

RSS is the best thing ever, period. I've found no other ways to follow websites online that even slightly improve upon it. And count in that anything from stuff like Flipboard to Twitter and similar.

This is an interesting thing, but too complicated and over-broad for the mere-mortal. It should be enough to just provide an RSS/Atom feed. WRT comments, well, I never want them on my website anyways, because my blog is for my co

I only use whatsapp, it's end to end encrypted and data's kept on the device. I'm fairly sure my whatsapp messages are private enough, although I'd be happy if I was informed should that not be the actual case.

My experience is from a couple years ago, but the app was not all that good. No trouble though, as K-9 mail is a quite nice OSS mail client for Android, it's probably the only mobile app that I've used and am nearly satisfied wit
