I've left the big city for the Alps and well... I never had in any city as much social life as here. In cities you cross countless of people you ignore, you have just made few friends and you go with them mostly to consume some service

It's not about automatic updates, it's about ownership or those who decide to update, manually or automatically vs those who can't decide. Aside the biggest issue is still having in 2024 non-declarative, non-rollbackable syst

Declarative systems like NixOS or Guix system solve, since a reboot in an old generation is quick and done, mandatory FLOSS instead of black boxes and pull-based upgrades instead of vendor-push-based ones do solve. A bug can always happen,

Well, I'm from EU and I think the article's claim is exaggerated, beside that metros are good to move people in a dense city, but they are economically untenable, of course with public subsidies in abundance they operate, but that

Nice UI :-) Random notes/suggestions - rsync is not a snapthot tool, so while in most of the cases we can rsync a live volume issueless on a desktop it's not a good idea doing so - zfs support in 2024 is a must, btrfs honestly is

A personal question: if modern TVs are essentially low power computers, why not buy a low power desktop with a good enough monitor? Why people in 2024 buy TVs if it's possible to have ONE damn computer with little extras to serve video

Most people fails to understand a thing talking about basic income: it's not for those who get the money but for those who get them from those who get in the first place. Yes, poor tend to be unable to retain money, they spend. Spendin

No specific intent, sorry, though virtual cards are more effective since they can pick any money directly, no action needed on their former customer part. I state that because MANY do not see little expenses or even if they see they decide

I'm in Alpes de Haute Provence, essentially al homes here are three-phase 36kVA to be precise witch is a little less than 36kW indeed. New homes tend to be 12kW monophase if there is no pool or EVs. Only apartments are 6-9kW. 6kW is th

I do not know how things works in banking outside EU but here for on-line stuff it's fairly common to pay with virtual bank cards, meaning a one-shot or few shots (at your option) with a maximum amount Visa or Mastercard dummy card. I

I think people are simply too little "social" (in the real world sense) for open society: modern societies tend to concentrate people to a point of starting some real-life human variant of an old experiment https://en.w

The point is not much the project per se but the concept, Infrastructure as Code, OS as code. So far NixOS is a relatively small ecosystem, in a complex community situation with the main sponsors, a mil-tech company, who have got a wave of

LaTeX is not just a set of macros over TeX to produce (nowadays) some pdf, it's a very big library of ready-to-use packages for pretty anything, that's VERY hard to "substitute". You want inspiration for some strange tab

To be resilient we must individually own, in case of IT it means in-house iron, data and tools to handle data. Some do that, most do not. You can't change this state of thing without general awareness and since most ruling class is old

As long as people do not understand IT, and most still do not, some will profit on the ignorance of the many, and the sole cure is culture, laws came after, not before. The cure to current IT social issues is FLOSS, desktop centered computi

Tanshumanism is a tag for many things. Philosophically is the modern variant of ancient Greeks "golden age" or Christian's paradise, at least the tendency to such utopia. Practically so far it's mostly automation to redu

your salary it's 25 times the overall office cost? Maybe you are an top manager, an apical figure anyway, but how much it cost the office for all workers (grand total) vs their salary? Compute all office costs, cleaning, air conditio
