Ive been playing with the nixified.ai project, which packages two web interfaces for LLMs and image generation. Im also looking into Tabby.ml for code assistant as well. I haven’t gotten deep, but these all look like promising options for utilitizing a server’s hardware but offering the functionality across the network.

Its pronounced “coke” I believe. Its named after the french mathematician Thierry Coquand. Apparently coq is also a name for rooster. According to wikipedia, computer science in France frequently names things after animals? Idk dont we all?

I like the motivation of the problem: use mathematical rigor to guaruntee something that is complex and certainty is a requirement, like crypotcurrency, is valid.

You could always dip your toe into a tiling window manager instead of a desktop environment. Its got an initial learning curve, and it helps to have something to do to learn it, and not just playtesting it.

I needed to write in fields of a pdf and ran this quickly only to find out there wasnt such a feature. If I missed something let me know, it looks like great software.

You want to look at the registry. Run nix registry list. You’ll see that nixpkgs by default points to unstable. You override this in your config. I’ve done that, where nixpkgs is stable and “unstable” is unstable.

EDIT: heres part of my home manager config that changes this: github.com/rutrum/dots/blob/master/…/nix.nix#L15

I think this has to do with flakes. If you run something as a flake it doesnt use channels, which is the alternative. The import is looking for it as a channel on the host machine. With flakes its provided as an input.

It looks like nixinfo is explicitly looking for channels to tell you info, like how neofetch would tell you interesting stats. The same does not apply with flakes. There’s no “default” upstream package base that can queried by the system.

Do you self host or are you running a nextcloud-managed instance?

I think a bigger concern is if someone managed to access bitwarden on a logged in instance. Think, leaving your laptop open, or someone steals it from you. If theres two apps for logging then both apps need to be accessible/compromised.

Sometimes the app just shows a barcode that they scan. I always screenshotted the barcode and deleted the app. Better yet, save the barcode in catima catima.app

Most people don’t validate anything on a resume, depends on industry. If you think its too personal, dont put it. Make it up. Dont put your phone number or address if you dont want to. Or lie. Most applications I applied for I put the address of the town center in the city I live in. They dont need to know my actual address until I talk with payroll.

Ooh, can you explain how guns/shooting becomes a hobby? I can imagine how you might buy one for self defense or hunting, does that maks it a hobby or does it go deeper?

I use Vutlr. They have a nice UI.

If you want to switch slowly, I would install nix and home manager on your Arch system, and slowly migrate your dotfiles, configuration, and packages into home manager. That will give you a comfortable transition opportunity to learn nix. Then, the last 10% of system configuration you can figure out when you install NixOS, and you can just pull in your home manager config for all your userspace dotfiles and programs. Thats how I moved from Ubuntu to NixOS.

And yes, you can have home manager just symlink existing config files to the appropriate location. You don’t have to rewrite everything in nix.

Or you can always spin up a distrobox container and install it there, too.

This is very multipurpose, but if you haven’t heard of gridfinity, there might be modules that would be helpful you home lab, or your home in general.

Wow, I never considered swap. I’ve had this problem with my laptop for the last year. I’ll fix this, thank you.

Not cargo, but I use justfiles in all my projects: github.com/casey/just Its great for aliasing project-specific commands like what you have.

Whats the name of the process monitor? The fade on the process list is awesome.

Are these complaints about the free tier? I can see how they might start witholding options for that. Removing the delete option doesn’t seem right.

Not as out of the ordinary: butter. I prefer grass fed cow’s butter.

I think Bulletproof coffee goes a step further and adds some kind of oil as well. I’ve seen it made with coconut oil and butter. I’ve never blended it either. When I add butter, a lot of it floats on the top, which adds some changing flavors as you drink off the top.

Can a frequent Kdenlive user comment on the speed performance of this update? The marketing makes it sound incredible, plus the Qt6 update.

Where do you learn the skills to work on your car?Do you recommendations on first projects to tackle? I’d love the experience and to save the trouble of finding a mechanic I trust.
