100%. Took me a good year to learn it well enough to be confident with what I was doing but I’ve now got it on everything with a single flake for all my hosts. I love that my user profile is configured the same everywhere. I can add a new tool or config or alias or whatever and it’s the same on every computer.

I’ve now written a module to define all the services I self host and from that it generates both nginx config and DNS config on different hosts.

The main advantage for me though is I only have to solve problems once. Once it’s there in the config I’m confident it’s solved and I won’t need to worry about it again. My previous server was 10 years old and there was stuff configured I’d long forgotten about how it worked or even why I did it.

Maybe someone else will have a better answer but in similar situations I’ve seen the derivation simply downloads a compiled release directly.

I ran into the same issue trying to package silverbullet which uses deno and I gave up, later I saw it was added to nixpkgs by just downloading the github release.

I feel like they could have avoided all this argument by saying won’t raise taxes on working people’s earnings, rather than just working people. Any sane and honest person knows what they meant and the whole thing is just trying to gotcha them. Just shows they don’t have any substantive criticism.

Yeah I’ll willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. Could very easily believe that a dev added the reference without realising the implications and they fixed it very quickly. Will be watching for any future attempts though.

Haha I know what you mean. It’s in St Helens unless there’s more than one

I agree with you but nimby is lowercase in their style guide

It is my understanding that the only difference applies to hosted software. For example, Lemmy is AGPL. If it were GPL, then a company could take the source code, modify it and host their own version without open sourcing their modifications. AGPL extends to freedoms of GPL to users of hosted software as well.

A real example of this would be truth social which is modified Mastodon and as AGPL those modifications are required to be open source as well.

i got that once, except it was my exact question with no response at all, then i noticed it was me that posted the question 4 years earlier.

i used to use stack overflow a lot back in 2007/08 but i cant remember the last time i actually got an answer.

it can barely get single functions correct but we’re supposed to believe it can write entire systems from a single prompt? Either way our job at the moment is writing instructions for another piece of software (compiler) to turn into the code. This just adds another level of abstraction. High level programming languages already let us do more with fewer staff. It didn’t make coders redundant, it let to even more software.

edit: forgot to add, agree with your edit, that or just trying to inflate their stock prices.

yeah this is my dog. at the vet last week he knew something was about to happen and was absolutely not interested in cheese.

After he had his vaccines and it was all over, so much more relaxed, would eat cheese again.

I was always told landlords deserve to extract profit from the economy for nothing because of the risk they take on. Yet time after time it seems like they can’t possibly tolerate any risk at all.

Definitely. What I didn’t mention is all that took over a month!

Been there many times. Had one case where support had to through the reseller who sold licenses in our country. Actual people who knew what they were talking about was tier 3.

We had a bug and were trying to report it and get a fix or workaround. Just told no, we’re doing it wrong. After a lot of back and forth we had to pay for an “expert” to fly over and show us what we were doing wrong. Turns out he wasn’t an expert, he was a salesmen. Made a demo for us on the flight and the first time he ran it was in our meeting room on projector.

Failed in exactly the way we had been saying. It was very satisfying.

Finally he phoned the dev team who confirmed the docs were wrong and we couldn’t do what we were trying.

I think its more that they’re worried labour voters won’t bother actually voting then the tories win anyway.

That was my thought too, why’s that not a thing already?

I think another key difference is everyone can use whatever tool they like and still work on the same codebase. They don’t have proprietary file formats that lock in you and your entire team forever.

Same for me. Last day i worked in an office was March 2020. Haven’t done a single day since and don’t intend to ever again

Cave people didn’t have lead poisoning either

Several years ago I was working on water sites and they didn’t even have accurate info about the stuff on their own sites. The head office staff thought they did though. Just the computers did not match reality. Running many of the sites was entirely reliant on the knowledge of site operators who were all about to retire. There was no younger staff being taught anything either.

Not really answering the question but have you ruled out medical issues? You could be describing our dog and it turned out he’s got pretty bad hip dysplasia on both sides. Because both are bad he doesn’t limp at all and the outward signs are really subtle but he’s now on a bunch of pain killers and has gotten much better. He’s also booked in for a hip replacement next month.
