I am wondering if this #Wikipedia page should be put up for deletion. The show is over, it's not notable, and there are errors on the page.

I don't want to go through the process of doing the deletion myself, but I wouldn't mind if someone else did.

@popey I see it as of note. Wikipedia is also a record of history at this point. So it would be odd to delete it. If it has wrong sections you may push a "inaccurate" label onto it.

Don't think a full on deletion should ever happen here, however.

I like #Nix, I do not like what has happened to it. #NixOS is an incredible technology and it deserves better. Nobody else has started the process so I guess I have to be the one to do it. We are forking. I would rather try and fail alongside all the people who love Nix but were pushed away from the project than give up.

@jakehamilton Im personally watching for the board's response. They might have something brewing coming.

Also if we are hard forking. I would love to see it GPL'd.

@soupglasses@hachyderm.io avatar

@jakehamilton Another huge thing would be tiering the core and "extras" packages. Currently there is no great way to distinguish between core packages and loose fun packages inside nixpkgs. It would be nice to have it a bit more seperated and give a lot more focus to a good core.

@AngryAnt @jakehamilton Companies frustrate me to no end, and permissive licensing so often ends up being ultimately hurtful on the long game. See the history of the BSDs and Linux, and which won the world, and which has a lot of "extentions" from companies that never get formally up-streamed.

I am however curious how this is a dealbreaker.

soupglasses,
@soupglasses@hachyderm.io avatar

@AngryAnt @jakehamilton Not so much an "anti company" thing, but more so protecting Nix (or possibly Aux here) from further shenanigans down the line. It should be a thing for the community, by the community. We are not here to cater to companies every desire. The whole point of the fork is that Nix is too conflicted with its ties to companies like Audril and Determinate Systems now. Hence the more formalizing idea of using a GPL/copyleft license for the fork.

Update: Eelco went behind the back of the board that he himself is on to publish that all too dreadful Determinate Systems blog post.

I feel like something is shifting internally, and I'm holding my hopes up to see what comes next week. :blobfoxcofeowo:

I think the most hurtful thing with seeing in flames and people leaving for other immutable distros is...

NixOS was strong for its module system, not so much its immutable nature.

The rapid development you could do, and test that locally, sewing together an entire fleet in a matter of hours, without much of a thought to the minor details was amazing.

Lets remember to take the NixOS module system with us.

Eelco writing a response to all the criticisms against him on DetSys instead of the NixOS discourse is just the nail in the coffin for me.

I'm fed up with . I think I'm just gonna take a break from it and the movement for a bit. Sorry. :blobfoxcry2:

This is probably one of the best pages i have read on how to write proper copyright statements in your code. :revblobfoxread:

Explains very well why things like copyright years and year-ranges can be problematic, and why the © is so important as a symbol to use.

Check it out!

The Packager is honestly an amazing tool for getting familiar with packaging inside Guix!

Never in Nix have I been able to write up a package definition so quickly and have it work + test itself.

I am super impressed! :revblobfoxread:

There's several ongoing efforts in various verticals that are all working to tackle this spam / nuisance wave. My patch was just one of the easier ones to apply.

At this point, it's a few kids in japan (where police have been given their information, because hi discord) versus a heap of organised and experienced technical and security folks.

We've half a dozen heuristics through which we can detect and tackle spam, and these will eventually make it into releases.

@soupglasses@hachyderm.io avatar

@thisismissem Honestly its a good kick in the butt to put some focus on getting features like greylisting and spam-wave-protection implemented in the various ActivityPub servers. One could almost say one is thankful for the push, its a decent reminder that its a featureset holding a lot of value to the Fediverse. :blobfoxfloofcofe:

francis, to apple
@francis@babb.no avatar

I have been a Mac user since 1997 (with some Apple II experience when I was a child).

I made some living by being a Mac sysadmin for a few years.

I never felt so annoyed by Apple as I feel now. Things simply do not work. Most stuff are buggy. On the last 24h I found bugs in at least three apps (Watch, Music, Health). Synchronization works when it wants. Apps stop working.

I think iOS is becoming very Android-y.

soupglasses,
@soupglasses@hachyderm.io avatar

@francis Hilariously, my new Samsung Fold has been nothing but perfect stability wise. Ignoring all the third-party terms-of-service agreements all the damn first party apps want you to sign.

I genuinely feel like Android is becoming the new IOS, just look at how sleek the new generation of Androids are, like the Google Pixels and OnePlus devices.

@hachyderm heya, running into the issue that GIF uploads aren’t processed a lot in the last few days, just a heads-up; I usually need to retry 3 or 4 times before it goes through. assume stuck worker or other queueing issue.

soupglasses,
@soupglasses@hachyderm.io avatar

@thomasfuchs @dma @hachyderm Thank you for linking the exact image. This should now be fixed.

Seems to have been related to a single worker node having its ffmpeg binary in a twist. Which is likely why it was intermittent. :blobfoxscience:

After a lot of pain and debugging, can how support EDIDs loaded from initrd. 🎉 :blobfoxaww:

It's still in a PR stage, but it does work when compressFirmware = false set.

Finally, I can overclock my monitor on Wayland. :blobfoxbongo:

soupglasses,
@soupglasses@hachyderm.io avatar

@AngryAnt You can do that, but nowadays it is much more common to use it to overclock your monitor.

Basically where you pull your EDID, use software like "AW EDID Editor" to change its timings. Then use the linux kernel to override the display port's EDID for any connected monitor.

I use this strategy to overclock my 100Hz monitor to 115Hz, for example.

little productivity thing for linux that i would like: terminal integration of the XDG (?) "Recent" folder. make it an actual Folder ~/Recent with links to the files, or a FUSE fs. i often have to integrate console and desktop tools and this would make it less painful.

soupglasses,
@soupglasses@hachyderm.io avatar

@mntmn You should look at midnight commander mc.

While not drag and drop, it is a more hybrid version of a file explorer and terminal. I have long thought of experimenting with a more modern take on the Norton Commander layout.

soupglasses,
@soupglasses@hachyderm.io avatar

@mntmn And i have xdg-open aliased to open. Which is one of my most used shortcuts. Any file i want to touch graphically is just a open image.jpg away.

Also really handy is to do open . to open the current folder in your file manager.

soupglasses,
@soupglasses@hachyderm.io avatar

@mntmn I have also created a l shortcut to print directories and pager print files for me.

I have also had the thought to create an edit shortcut that could open a wide variety of files for editing explicitly (nvim, gimp, audacity, etc). This however im uncertain if XDG can handle, and would require my own lookup table for mimetypes. :revblobfoxread:

soupglasses,
@soupglasses@hachyderm.io avatar

@mntmn This is something i am personally angry at. Especially with regards to wine packaging.

I really do think one can easily solve a lot of xdg mimetype mismatches by packaging for usability, rather than packaging for what upstream gives you.

Im slowly starting to run out of energy for running thanks to its constant issues.

23.11 has broken so much, i cant even save images without crashing the webbrowser now. And that doesn't help UnityHub also being broken now too...

Honestly this all just kind of makes me depressed, as I don't want to leave Nix behind either. But from how broken both my server is (open issue for the broken package), and now my desktop... I don't really know where to go.
