Sorry, but this is just nonsense. You have to intentionally use Nix in a way that no one does, in a way that is highly discouraged in every corner of the community, in order to get unreproducable behavior. Furthermore, that mis-usage does n

Sure, but why go to the effort to exclude others? Did they think it would help avoid detection on systems that they didn't care to backdoor?

Shame on me for not reading more before my now removed comment. Shout-out for doing this level of analysis and guessing, as with everything in this incident, fascinating and tantalizing to wonder about. It is interesting, at least one of th

My phone number was once a Verizon number. Then Google Voice. Then Google Fi. Then, since Google couldn't transfer my number from Fi back to Voice, and Fi left me stranded multiple times with a non-functioning phone , I transferred ou

Shout out to Ticketmaster for not allowing the only real phone number I have. Walked into an Oxxo. Bought a sim card for like $3, Ticketmaster happily let me use it. Good job, guys.

NewPipe seems unaffected. Quite interesting.

Damn shame, there are some fun, very above board subreddits that I wouldn't care to be on without a VPN. Granted it would be easy to migrate them as well. And in fact, those same communities are probably on Discord.

>create a Docker image or a Vagrant box, and whenever you instantiate one of those I'm passing X to doubt. This is just odd analysis. Nix is strictly superior to Docker, except the learning curve. You have to really work at it to ma

Yes, and in fact, it's quite a huge pain even in the packaging side. Everytime I have to deal with autotools in nixpkgs, I end up having to rewrite the derivation to build from actual freaking source instead of a pre-mangled non-rele

by k8svet 3y ago
Oh come on, please, let's put autotools out to pasture. I've lost so much of my life fighting autotools crap compared to "just use meson".

by k8svet 3y ago
Wait, I'm on mobile. Did this partially slip by because of the ABSURD PRACTICE of publishing release.tarballs that do not 1:1 correspond with source? Let me guess, autotools? I want to rage shit post but I guess I'll wait for conf

Lmao, love seeing what HN decides is controversial these days. God give me the power of some of y'all's utterly depraved self-serving self-delusion. I at least acknowledge the moral compromise of how my labor accrues in the system

So... this sounds like OAuth, with a nice consent scene that says I'm giving Netflix this access to my FB DNs. That's what you mean, right? Otherwise, what the fuck is the difference? . And really, as if this makes anything bette

Bacalar was ... stunning, and chill. Still full of tourists and expats and retirees, but infinitely better vibes than Tulum. Even PDC is more touristy and somehow less... Tulum... than Tulum.

You know, from the way crypto threads are moderated, I bet I can guess dang's opinion about them. Just ridiculously vapid content.

Tulum is fine but I would not ever go again if my friend didn't live there. It's just the intersection of nacros, tourism, cancun spillover, hella overpriced beach clubs. Probably my least favorite place I've been in Mexico

I met a nice Israeli filmography couple (somewhat known in Israel, I think) in Tulum last summer. After conducting important business, they were telling me about how they were vacating on the back of a nice windfall -- they got paid upfront

Cool, it certainly feels like there's some unrealized better way to describe APIs -- but the part that's more interesting for me is the codegen story? Or some way to validate the service I implemented is actually conformant? I gue

Fidelity are clowns. They've spent an impressive effort breaking every god damn third party integration AND using Akamai to block scraping. I can scrape Ameriprise fine, but no matter how creative I get Fidelity gives back a weird erro

Do they support ed25519 ssh keys yet? Just hard to take 'em seriously.

This just makes it even more asinine that they had to invent their own language. I'm sure I'd be just as productive with Nix and builtins.toJSON. At least they didn't do jsonnet, eh?

by k8svet 3y ago
Well, sorta. Azure has Bicep now [1], to compete with Terraform and ARM JSON templates. (Separately, there's also the whole Dapr thing, what a sight to see that Discord and complete lack of interest from anyone outside the company). [1

Why do people do this? I skim the article. I go wait "Nitric sounds like Pulumi". A few googles later, I find this : https://nitric.io/docs/reference/pulumi So, it's fast because it uses Pulumi... D

No, I know what Ansible is, thanks. I've written and maintained Ansible playbooks. I respect myself, my team, and my customers and deploy statelessly with NixOS. My life is significantly easier than it was in the salt/Ansible days

Lezer is 5 years old. It's quite clear which won out between Tree-Sitter and Lezer, and it's not Lezer.

Yeah, use a freaking password manager. Or ask sites to use Passkeys. Again, this is a solved problem, as others are mentioning.
