I was totally on board until centos got screwed over ( and subsequently AM2 )

I’ll be a cold day before I touch any fedora or redhat again or even mention to another person that they should run it.

So there are 43+ NixOS users and noone switched away for another OS?

Woot!

I keep pondering switching back to Debbie and every time I get in a fight with … well everything I try to install … And I look at my configuration.nix and sunk cost fallacy sits in.

I don’t really need Splashtop, NinjaRMM, Parsec Server right?

Npm isnt horrible for that.

Load up a live CD of your distro in your VM. Install a browser. Load up all your plugins, bookmarks, sites, when you have it completely how you want it, tarball your Firefox config folder to a USB drive.

The next time you want to use it, start the live CD again and untar the tarball back in your config directory. Anytime you want to update it, just remake the tarball.

It’s ephemeral, no logs are stored, you have almost no chance of accidentally loading the wrong thing.

My 2015 air has been running Ubuntu for about 6 months, I even did the hack to swap the function and control keys.

Power’s not the best. It can only do about 2 hours even after I tune the crap out of everything and apply to every cheap power saving gimmick I could come up with.

ping site.com

Not http://site.com

I maintain giant playlists for each user. Generally just shuffle whoever’s listening.

I mean, if you want secure/private communication, email should not be your go-to. It’s a horrible platform by today’s standards. It was never designed to have any serious level of security. Once they have an unencrypted email on the target with timestamps and mail headers, all they need to do is see who was communicating with Proton at that point. I don’t know if anything has changed since the PRISM days, but back in the 2000s, they definitely had that level of insight into the web.

Always better to argue with strangers than family.

¿Por qué no los dos?

We learned to do it in the 90’s before search engines existed. Could always get a book…

Yeah I mean we use the app for like 3 seconds here and 3 seconds there. I’m not saying that if it was twice as fast it wouldn’t make a meaningful impact but I still might not notice.

A lot of people have discord, a lot less people have slack.

Slack is also starting to charge for those workflows. My slack bill at work is gone up 50% past what it was. And I’m now getting monthly warnings from using my integrations. They would like me to put a credit card into handle more jira tickets.

There are bots that tie in and store tickets several of my software vendors use them. When you have a problem you drop into a certain channel and make a request it issues you a ticket with a link creates a new channel that’s just a conversation between you and support. At first it seems clergy but after you use it a couple of times it’s reasonably slick

The integrations and plugins, established workflows, support systems ticketing it’s all turnkey. I hate the platform and I wish people wouldn’t use it but I understand the draw.

dsa.msc to manage domains.

I installed it three nights ago.

It has a lot of neat

It has a lot of wtf

You start out, I want x, then you realize you want y, then you find out to get y, you need z. Then you put follow some instructions and defining unfree in one spot no longer works. Then you find out there are no safe facilities to deploy secrets and you’ll have to make that anyway.

I don’t hate it at all, but I’m slowly realizing it’s not what I thought it was.

Still cool though.

I am just starting this journey as well. (Learning about training)

There are a billion videos on fine tuning an existing model I’m pretty sure that’s what you need to do in the end. If you can’t find a model that has exactly what you’re looking for and you can find a decent number of samples you can take one of the other anime models and fine tune it with your samples. I watched a guy take an anime model and train it with The GitHub mascot.

The cool thing is they were using Google collab. They’re able to get the train done for like $8 a month, and the skill required was extremely low. I think the hardest part is the training data needs to all the in 512x512.

don’t screw with it, it won’t break :)

I mean, it’s not exactly rocket surgery.

Learn how to boot single user, make backups.

Sure, being able to undo package manager fuckery would be good, but you done need to be particularly skilled to unfuck a box, you just have to be bothered to put in the effort.
