I discovered Vim around a decade ago when my IT career was just starting. Since having a friend walk me through how to use it, I have never stopped using it -- and it's not an exaggeration to say that I use it every day. Vim is a piece

I'm sorry this has been your experience. Thank you for sharing it, and know that it has prompted self-reflection for me. I hope future online encounters are positive, wherever you are. :)

I have found that another long-term solution is to switch to rootless Docker[0] or Podman for local dev. That way iptables isn't mangled with because you don't elevate to a privileged user to use it. Not being privileged has some

I use NixOS, Arch as a backup and Ubuntu is usually what I am assigned at work. If I had it my way, it'd be NixOS everywhere. On my non-NixOS builds (including MacOS) I still use Nix the package manager and I use Home-Manager to manage

Recently switched to Hyprland (a Wayland tiling window manager) on NixOS. It's beautiful! As a former i3 user, I'm very happy with it. It looks really nice out of the box (especially compared to i3's default appearance) and h

> thank you for sharing this. Absolutely! Archinstall is so nice to just get a system up and running quickly. And not many installers (i.e. on other distros) give you so many options for desktop environments. archinstall is a great tool!

Homebrew is one of those tools that actually makes MacOS a decent Unix workstation for engineering (often, it feels like in spite of Apple). Without brew, MacOS would not be an OS I would even consider for my personal machines -- but I real

Not personally a consumer of RHEL or other binary-compatible distros, so I'm probably out of the loop, but the phrasing of this comes across like Rocky may be less honest than the other companies you have listed. Is this the way it is

Aside from CloudLinux's involvement with AlmaLinux[0], I can't find much online that verifies any of this information. For those of us interested in investigating, could you provide any information to support these claims? It look

In addition, it's also easy to use something like Matterbridge[0] to bridge Discord to other apps! I do this for one of my projects as I find that Discord is where a lot of people are, and people find it accessible. But for those of us

I hope not, but can understand if things went that route. And if COSMIC embodies the "stay out of my way" approach better than GNOME, I'd probably be happy to switch to it.

I'm going off the assumption that you mean storing your password and TOTP secret in the same app. Personally, I think storing your password and TOTP secret is worthwhile, but it ultimately depends on your threat model. If your threat m

I use NixOS+GNOME+pop-shell for tiling windows on Linux, and I love it! I am quite frequently on MacOS, and I use Yabai[0] and skhd[1], managed with Nix-Darwin[2] for tiling windows and custom keyboard shortcuts. With how I make my Linux an

That makes perfect sense, definitely sheds light on the fortunate circumstance I am in of not needing FB to conveniently communicate with my connections. Because, I agree, you should be able to conveniently communicate if you can.
