This video is great. I’m on Nix and I wholeheartedly endorse the philosophy behind it, No Boilerplate has been a really big eye opener for me over the last few months.
Hey all, I wrote this article with some practical advice on how to resist the attention economy (think notifications, shorts, ads, etc) by setting up a desktop for mindful engagement....
Hey, just wanted to drop this here. It’s a technical follow-up to The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Static Sites which was reasonably popular, and explains the components of a static site’s stack.
For me, I write notes in Markdown anyways as part of a Zettelkasten, and by setting up my site this way I can stay in my development / note taking environment (nvim) and push stuff up to the site very quickly. It’s far easier as a developer to work off-the-cuff with this type of workflow, at least for me.
Also, would be very easy to self-host or move provider if Vercel or any other provider goes down.
I’ve tried Arch and others as well, even stuff like Slackware, Bodhi, Void, but I’d say that my preference has generally moved away from doing tinkering / maintenance at all other than for fun or profit. I’d still consider Nix for a server / workstation setup but just not as a daily driver.
I actually can’t remember as it would have been 6+ months ago now. The issue is probably fixed already by the Debian maintainers / Elementary Team / both.
Likely something with Meson build / apt not playing nicely.
They’re between releases right now, but once COSMIC desktop is ready and they release Pop 24.04 I’ll probably try it out. More likely that I’m moving to Xubuntu Minimal 24.04 on the daily driver though.
PopOS is great OOTB but I’ve become attached to rofi and XFCE recently and like the old-school “apps are utilities” style of Linux desktops over PopOS / Mint which try to bundle everything together.
