NixOS because it’s easy to understand—I can pop open any .nix file in my config and see exactly what is being set up, so I don’t have to mentally keep track of innumerable imperative changes I would otherwise make to the system, and thus lose track of the entropy over time.

I’m curious why links2 over, say, w3m? It feels like none of the terminal browsers are as nice as they could be these days…

Just curious—what accessibility extensions do you use on desktop?

I’ve used it for uni on a Linux tablet/convertible and it worked really quite well and has some nice convenient features for note-taking.

What tablet did you use?

If you’re on Wayland, fuzzel just keeps getting better each release.

Wait, so how do we print now?

Uplink is where it’s at.

Love fuzzel—it’s pretty performant, even with a few thousand options to pick from.

NixOS. Declarative system management is just so unbelievably simple and reliable that I couldn’t ever see myself going back to a traditional Linux system.

Anyone using this? How is it?

I’m very pleased to discover this. I’ve been using this online editor for a while—good to have a local alternative.

i3 and xfce can be combined to achieve a very practical result. Highly recommend. It’s trivial to setup on NixOS, at least.

Newbie question: does this affect people using systemd-boot? Does anyone use systemd-boot?

My final straw was getting a new MacBook Air (I was at that point fine with how UNIX-y macOS was) and realizing I couldn’t dock the laptop to more than one external monitor without some weird hacky third-party software fix. Why, you ask? Well not at all because the laptop technically couldn’t do it, but because Apple said it can’t, because they want to overcharge you on a Pro.

I promptly returned the MacBook, bought a Framework on eBay, and learned NixOS.

10/10, I haven’t looked back since.

Depending on how old the iPod is, you might have some luck installing rockbox firmware on it.

But, in any case, yes, moving your music over will functionally be as if copying it to an external drive.

Love Minetest. Unfortunately, though, like with many other FOSS projects, it’s hard to find anyone else using it…

Anyone got a server for us lemmings?

Anyone using this? I can’t tell what problems it actually solves for the end user.

Chezmoi looks interesting. I’ve just been using xstow.

Not to my knowledge, but music.youtube.com is a pretty clean interface, and it’s easy enough to grab links from. Keep in mind, you can feed yt-dlp both playlist (including album) and channel (artist) links, as well as individual videos.
