• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do y'all think about mailing lists and IRC as sole communication channels?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I totally agree longterm projects are better off using github or email.

  Here is the crux for lively discussions using discord/IRC comes more natural. But whilst it facilitates easier flowing communication it fails to preserve it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do y'all think about mailing lists and IRC as sole communication channels?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you host thelounge using IRC is quite cool. As you get a better experience with backed up messages and stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How often do you hop distros?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t get me wrong I really like Nix. But like you said the learning curve is steep. And just learning the basics including flakes for instant setup is not enough. Because all your config files gotta be rewritten which is a lot of work and nix specific knowlege to aqquire. If you went through it I can totally see the benefit.

  However for me personally it makes more sense to use tools that have wide adaption, such as OCI images and CI/CD to buid the image. My thought: Using Docker/Containerfiles is way more adapted by the industry so people already know how to use that. Nix on the otherhand has to not only fight against the default way UNIX systems are configured, but also do that with brand new tools.

  I agree all distros are at some point breaking it’s just the nature of any OS. That’s why the nix paradigm or immutable OS paradigm is far superior and the future.

  I switched from NixOS mainly cause there is no saint way to use my dotfiles except to adapt homemanager or the like.

  For now I use my own OS based on Fedora Silverblue

  Nothing beats good old bash IMO, or if you need something minimal busybox
