Occasionally you can get packages with native dependencies to work by creating a nix shell that includes the dependent libraries. Sometimes that can mean using an FHS shell, which is indeed annoying. It’s not elegant, but you can also usual

One drawback I realized about NixOS as a router for home use is that if you need to share administration of the network, then it has to be easy for non-experts. In that case something like OpenWRT might be a better choice.

How are you managing the VM’s on NixOS? A couple years ago I was searching for a good way to declaratively manage them, and the best I came up with was libvirt + terraform + nixos-generators for images. It feels like you should just be able

Sapiens and Guns, Germs and Steel discuss this some. The US also benefits greatly from its geography. Good farming land that stretches through a consistent latitude allows you to use similar techniques and crops across. The same is not true

There’s a really good subreddit for this called r/onebag. You can get by with surprisingly little clothing by utilizing wool t-shirts, socks and underwear, plus semi-stylish nylon shorts and pants (I’ve personally had good luck with Un

I don’t have any references handy, but I suppose it’s a combination of the U.S. being a top destination for investment (because of the currency, risk-level, innovation and productivity), plus high demand for labor.

I have been wondering about this. Every state gets two senators representing the _entire state_, so you can’t gerrymander senate seats. I wonder if we need something similar for congressional districts, perhaps by allotting no less than two

I have run into issues when the hardware is very recent, but usually have a “works out of the box” experience if the model has been out more than 6-12mo. This often coincides with good deals on those models since Lenovo refreshes every 6-12
