With Android you can also get much better privacy by trumping most of the Google services, using Firefox with Ublock Origin and a system such as Blokada for system level adblocker. With Android if you know what you are doing, you can stop a

In Berlin tobacco and weed smoke is everywhere. I don't really see how legalizing weed would make it any worse. People already smoke it in bars and on the streets and Germany loves their cigarettes too...

You can do the same with btrfs too. I think SuSE already integrates this, and I used to do that with Arch Linux before I started using NixOS.

Just ordered Crouse's "The Boys on the Bus", another take on the 1972 presidential campaign, focusing more to the campaign journalism.

I'll add here my favorite book of his, the Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72, him getting sucked into politics and following the Democratic party campaign against Nixon, that lead to a landslide victory for Republicans.

Also there is nothing comparable to AndroidAPS available in the market that allows you to keep crazy good balance. The price is the learning curve, but the documentation is good.

I have two pairs of Beyerdynamic studio headphones. The other pair is now 16 years old, still sound great and are in daily use. I've replaced the cable once, it was easy and cables are common to find. This is what I call value.

I've been using another similar system called AndroidAPS for three years now. With Dexcom G6 and DanaRS pump it means I never need to measure my glucose from my fingertips, be afraid of hypos and wake up every morning with a 5.5 mmol&#

We also use Notion in my company. The editor is horrendous. It's absolutely crazy how bad it is for my use of writing documentation. I'm also biased, I do love emacs with evil and markdown modes, and I use neovim as my main editor

I've been using Wayland and Sway with FreeBSD 13 quite successfully. Everything worked quite well, except some indicators in Waybar that were using some Linux specific things to get values for memory usage etc...

I have Synapse and quite quite many bridges running and especially syncing a newbdevice takes a long time. Hope I could go with Conduit at some point.

They do not. You need to have the app installed to your phone, which is a big no for me.

I've been waiting for an invite for almost a year now. Even gave my credit card for them, but still waiting... I'm just yelling here to take my money, but nobody answers.

It is possible. I've been running my own for a year, but it takes quite a hefty server at least with Synapse, and it's not cheaper compared to the quite nice 5 euros a month pricing here. If you want to give it a try, this is what

Running NixOS unstable on a ThinkPad X1 Carbon 7th gen. Sway tiling wm, Wayland, fractional scaling, damn long battery life, hardware acceleration on Firefox, fingerprint reader all work 100%. I'm surprised how good this is, and I&#x27

I have plenty of ThinkPads and agree with almost everything. The WiFi is a problem though, because Lenovo whitelists only certain cards in the BIOS and will not boot if you upgrade the card. There are tools to disable this but YMMV.

RX 580 for Sway. A RX 6800 XT would be great, but they still cost a lot. The new ones work really well with linux, is what I hear. But you should follow the latest kernel versions, due to lots of bugs being fixed at the moment by AMD. For p

I just got a cheap Radeon for sway and use my 2080ti with qemu and gpu passthrough, playing games on virtualized windows. Good enough for me.

I kind of have a thing for ThinkPads, and I have three laptops with NixOS: - ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2018 model. Even the fingerprint reader works with this one. And fractional scaling for the 4k monitor! Config: https://github.com&#x

Sometimes you read comments that feel like it's written by you. Hey there! I'm almost the same, but 3950x instead of 5950x. I used Mac OS X between versions 10.0 and 10.4, and can never go back. It gives me anxiety, even now when

I, like many other NixOS users, fully understand your sentiments. Let me explain why I stick with it and use it in all of my computers. First off, I have a quite special environment for work. I like to customize many aspects of my desktop,

I've been trying to think for a while, why the downvotes, and one thing definitely comes to my mind: For many people, the idea of Hunter S. Thompson is this drug-fueled lunatic acted by Johnny Depp. That this is all he is; leaving behi

I really wish Zoom could start using PipeWire for their screen sharing and video as soon as possible. Currently their desktop app gives a very interesting error if trying to share the screen from Wayland/sway. There is no need to only

The interesting thing here is that Red is a brilliant brilliant album. An absolute banger. And so is Discipline, but people realized that only later and hated it at first. It is totally different from Red.

I recommend reading the book. The hard fights with the record company, mad and rough studio sessions that went on for months, big financial losses and law suites that followed all the albums were not fun. The record company tried to destroy
