Since there’s no answer from Guix users over here, well, I use Guix as my main distro. The language choice is superior to Nix’s half-Haskell DSL. However, the bigger issue with Guix is the lack of maintainers. NodeJS hasn’t been updated since the last five year and Zig lacks a lot of packages. Another big issue is the centralized GNU server, which can fail at any moment. Their servers are all located in either the USA, or Europe, and for Asia, downloading NARs with such slow speed is a pain in the ass.

No FHS compatibility seems fine but certain programs require it and don’t have nix native workarounds.

Nix, as well as Guix, both have the option to enable FHS emulation to resolve this issue.

Things like developer-only scripts with hardcoded #!/bin/bash shebangs are more likely to break on NixOS than they would on a conventional Linux distro with Nix installed.

This can be substituted or patched to #!/usr/bin/env bash - it’s an easy fix. The actual issue is contamination of environment, caused by mismatching glibc-locale between the host package and third-party package.

Scriptkiddies doing the bare-minimum to profit over other’s hard-work. They’re not going to survive, because they don’t know shit about the internal workings of their product, they won’t be able to scale it quickly, and sooner or later, they’ll run out of money, if it’s not the poor publicity killing their product.

Systemd: the Biggest Fallacies - point 1 addresses what you’re talking about, but remember that this blog is almost a decade old, so by this time, it is not reflective of the current condition.

There’s shepherd for Guix, which I like, to be frank. elogind is seperated, as opposed to logind being a part of the “init” system. There’s also alternatives like s6 and runit.

I was wondering - does the enforcement of no-derivation prevent the applying of patches and file substitutions, while building projects in a substitute build farm? As someone who packages for Guix and requires ELF-patching, I would be violating the new license, right?

The licence thats he’s switched to is CC BY-NC-ND. It does not allow modifications. The ND in BY-NC-ND means “No derivatives”. It’s just so stupid, he should’ve gone with GPLv3.

You have to download docker first, then enable virtualization support from the BIOS. Also don’t forget to add the required “groups” to your current user. Then run the docker command (privilege escalation would be necessary, so use with sudo or doas):

$ docker run -it -e LEMMY_DOMAIN='lemmydomain.com' -p "8080:8080" ghcr.io/rystaf/mlmym:latest

But this is a web application, not a native client. Why do you want this? There’s probably someone out there running mlmym for your instance.

There was a game company called Arcade1UP. I think that they violated the license, so this guy went all nuts. Earlier, he was also being harassed for AetherSX2 under a different alias.

Remember Marak Squires, the author of faker.js and color.js? Dude is unhinged in real life, tried making a bomb, nearly got himself killed, and was arrested for arson.

The author of Anarch, Miloslav Číž, also known as drummyfish and tastyfish, is another one of those weirdos - he’s one of those stereotypical - “Go read my manifesto” type of guy. He’s got his own website (warning: anti-LGBTQ+, social construct denialism, pro-pedophilia). He’s also unhinged in the sense that he’s posted lots of weird, disturbing shit (warning: blood, naked 3D model) online.

The new hard-fork by libretro is called Swanstation. That’s what they’ll be using now.

Have you tried with the --dlsym flag? Also check if mangohud works on the vkcube and glxgears demo first.

I think that this can be deployed locally. But the structure of the project, as well as the documentation is horrible. I am not even sure what’s going on with the weird skeleton:

$ tree -L 2

Why does this look like the astrology for Gen-Z? If this test is based on self-reflection (at least that’s how it seems to me), how does that work for sociopaths and clinical narcissists?

Thank you for sharing this. I remember using Ventoy quite often back when I was still on Windows. I’ll be sticking with the good old dd command.

Sorry I derailed from the topic, but afaik, you can use either generators like rivertiler (herbsluft-inspired) or rivercarro (default generator) for riverwm. In fact, rivertiler also provides you with the necessary libraries to create your own layout generator. Maybe you’re looking for riverwm-spiral-extended?

There’s newm, which looks really cool, but unfortunately, it is not being maintained any more - I think future version of GNOME will be going in that direction soon, if you’re interested in that style of hybrid single workspace, scrollable window/desktop management. Then there’s also labwc, herbsluftwm, qtile, etc. If you don’t mind X11, you’ll have lots of options to choose from. Personally, I’ve moved to XFCE4 because it is very light-weight, and I’m waiting for version 4.20, which will move to Wayland completely, and make use of wlroots.

There’s a few dozen open-source alternatives out there. Pastezone, Hastebin, 0x0.st, pasta, trashpaste, etc.

You can use any modular tiling manager for this. Only the tiling layout generator (this one is for river) matters here.
