Could you elaborate? Does steamOS ship the nix binary & mountpoints?

I'd love to see something like this. The lack of installer automation in the official installation docs was surprising to me when I first started.

I started with Nix darwin, and it's definitely buggier and less well supported compared to nix-proper. I'd recommend trying out building a NixOS VM for a better introduction to Nix…

This is a really cool video, I particularly liked the part where a PVC pipe was used to build an alternative chassis without a 3D printer.

I came here to pretty much write the same comment. I also had my first Linux experiences via Ubuntu's CDs via post scheme. I grew up on a farm with poor network connectivity, so fo…

Asdf is great - I'm not knocking it at all and have built several scripts for it over the years - but I think mise might be a better tool for someone starting out from scratch: htt…

Sorry, I don't agree. Owners are less important. They don't need to be there for most businesses to continue to operate just fine. The same is simply not true when workers decide t…

I think this is a bit of a misnomer: what's being said is not to "start optimizing for employees instead of customers", but rather to keep customers where they are in the pecking o…

Posts like these make Tuesdays lighter :)

Surely the free-market fundamentalist position would be to let it crash :)

If you provided MQTT support like plenty of IoT companies do, then any open source home automation tool can integrate! Home Assistant ( https://www.home-assistant.io/ ) have a grad…

The answer to this nonsense is quite clear to me: we need to build a federated media platform instead of building silos that create negative outcomes for the customer and perverse …

Hi, I'm in the UK and interested in knowing more about Matic. Do you have any plans to ship to the UK any time soon? You mention the device is private by design (this is a huge sel…

Well, yes, Scotland has many of the best sites for wind turbine generation in the UK. In all likelihood my country would be able to sell energy and water to the rest of the UK when…

I've been using Transient in a similar way, but for operations on specific filetypes I use vigorously. For example, I have a ruby transient which provides a single UI for my favour…

+1 for Carvel suite. To me it hits the sweet spot by allowing you to compose your own pipelines. It's not too alien for other k8s folks, and UNIXy enough that you can cut out the s…

I got really excited about Consul when I read about it here many years ago. I wrote a ruby library for it ( https://github.com/WeAreFarmGeek/diplomat ) which became rather popular,…

Countries like Sweden have form on using their natural resources to build vast state funds which are then used to improve conditions yet further, creating a virtuous cycle of oppor…

So in the UK most sparkies (as we call them :D) probably could as well. But what I think people in the US (and many in the UK) don't grasp, is that someone (plucking an example out…

Your suspicion is correct. Perhaps :D

Maybe - just maybe - Tesla should just give in instead of destroying their brand in the Nordics, which is what they are doing. The workers are in charge, and they are also the ones…

Personal projects are driven by personal agendas. Also water is wet. If you don't like it and you can't find the motivation to build something better, perhaps that's because your a…

I think you are correct precisely because this is how rentier economics seems to work out in every sector - just look at the housing market. Any captive audience that gives up agen…

In many categories, it seems that FOSS also outlasts proprietary equivalents as volunteers undermine their feature-sets. Long may that continue.
