They got suspended sentences. The author of the article didn’t do their research (probably an LLM anyway).

I thought it was pretty funny.

The courts, probably. That’s what they are for.

Can anyone explain the “professional developers” percentages to me?

What’s the threat model here? I can think of no DNS shennanigans that would not be detectable through the authentication mechainsms in TLS (chain-of-trust). Not having to trust network infrastructure is exactly what TLS is for.

What is it that you’re doing that is still not using some form of authenticated encryption? Almost everything is https, ssh, almost all mailservers have tls support, irc does have tls support… What’s left that needs to be encrypted by a VPN?

It’s difficult to say without seeing your nixos config. Are you importing any nixos modules? Would you be able to share your configs?

Also see https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Swap In paricular:

If you are using GPT partitioning tables, systemd-gpt-auto-generator(8) will still mount your swap partition automatically.

How do you know?

I’m not sure I agree that Void is a bottom type. If so, void-functions would never be able to return/terminate. Java’s void is probably more of a unit type.

I’m not sure if it’s larger :)

I suspect this is a problem with your particular combination of hardware and kernel. I doubt this has something to do with NixOS itself, so I would try to see if there’s something to be found in the ArchWiki. The solution might be to pick a different kernel and/or using paricular kernel modules/module options. Good luck

I think would just try to compile it from source. Using a different package manager seems very weird. I suspect getting the source to build on nixOS is more or less equivalent in terms of effort than to create a derivation. I have done so in the past and I ended up pushing them to nixpkgs. If compiling is out of the question, I guess docker but I havn’t had to do that, yet.

YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAH

What were the reasons?

Who?

Many who don’t see the danger were not here in the 2000’s. There are so many great technical achievements that were killed by microsoft, google or facebook EEE’ing the shit out of it. Remember jabber/xmpp? Yeah, both FB and Google implemented the protocol in their chat apps. Everyone was thrilled; I could use my jabber client to connext to fb and talk to my friends. Then they remembered there’s not any money in that and killed the projects.

Even if it’s good for the fediverse now, as soon as they realize they can make more money by not having to sync with other companies and organizations, they’ll be out of here, leaving nothing behind like a swarm of locusts. The only defense is defederation.

That’s correct. It’s also horrible for the comments section because people hate-downvote comments they disagree with, which in turn leads to people avoiding making possibly unpopular comments. It’s really hurtful to meaningful discussion.

Assume you have two flakes A and B, and A takes nixpkgs as an input. Thus, A defines something like inputs.nixpkgs.url = nixos-unstable;. Now, assume B depends on A, so B defines inputs.a.url = "where-to-find-A".

When you evaluate B, then you pull in A’s dependencies as it is defined by A. So B now depends on nixos-unstable. However, maybe you don’t want to depend on unstable. You could of course just override the input nixpkgs to a paricular version. Or you say “the nixpkgs dependeny of A is the same as the nixpkgs as defined by B”. So you say, in B: inputs.a.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";.

So now, A’s nixpks is the same as B’s inputs.nixpkgs when you evaluate B and you didn’t need to touch A.

Could be, I’m using the built in one. However when I stop pumping and just hold the pressure, the gauge doesn’t move up anymore but almost immediatly a little down.
