You didn't watch? You missed a fun race!

Care to elaborate?

I'm a hetzner user for years and if they are bad I haven't noticed yet.

Ah but then you are talking about servers? That would be a different story! The machine that I use for development (laptop) should always work (I would trust nixos with this) and if I want to spin up a container (docker run) or install an application (apt install)or change my vpn client configuration it is currently effortless and I'm not sure nixos can do that.

Actually using nixos for some of my private servers would be a nice use case...

I'm very critical of all the immutable distrubtions - as an old timer in tech I've seen so many things come and go. I'm also curious, ofcourse, and already tried out a VM with NixOS and everything seemed fine. But I'm going to wait it out before something like that becomes my main driver, I have a job to do (development, systems, stuff) and I cannot afford to say "sorry little to no progress today, my OS needs tinkering".

(Feel free to tell me I'm wrong :-) I love to tinker with new stuff).

Could even be a hard link.. (some applications don't like symbolic links).

Edit: or a mount point.

Make sure to stop the application, mount the drive and link it, start the application again You have a backup? :-)

So I was 16 and stoned and for the first time I went to this place where kids of that age go where it was mostly dark, has stroboscopic lights and colours and they had huge-ass speakers and I could already hear the rumbling bass of this song from outside.

Once I stood inside the music enters your body, as it does when you're drugged, and ofcourse the only thing I could do was let it do it's thing and enjoy it.

Great memories :-)

I have good experiences with managing inputs and outputs with pavucontrol, which has a nice GUI. You can choose output per application (I have multiple outputs, headset-microphone on jackplug for meetings, a USB device for HiFi headphones, and a USB device that goes into speakers for when I'm home alone and my noise doesn't bother anyone - pavucontrol covers that).

If you really want to go into the deep end you might try https://jackaudio.org/ but that's a very deep end and I hope you won't need it, but it's very powerful.

Tuxedo is German? I had a laptop from them and it was perfect:-)

(It was a company laptop, unfortunately had to return it when I got a new job)

Yeah just like I can edit records in the database?

I'm not trying to be critical of the project, I really want to know what makes this project different than a shared database , if that is what it is?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I am not sure, a CSV file is technically a data source equal to a database, so how is this different from sites that collect torrent-links (which are targeted by anti-piracy organisations?)? The fact that it is self-hostable?

It's always infuriating that the git repo is full of documentation but I cannot find an answer to the question: What Is It Exactly?

Lol, link gives an error right now but I have the image in my head so it's okay :)
