I don't know who "kenneth temkin" is but he typo'd his e-mail as ktemkin@<common provider> at one point and now every once in a while I just get a reciept showing me his various charitable donations to animal shelters

it's like a tiny window into a single positive aspect of someone else's life

do I know anything about this dude? not in the slightest, beyond that apparently he cares about animals

correlation doesn't imply causation, but the link between "actively participates in the NixOS community" and "is legitimately a masochist" does make you think~

okay, time to try adding beat saber back to our morning routine, again

(I wonder if we can still do a bunch of expert+ content after taking the break~)

tired: “solipsistically speaking, nothing but me is real, so what does anything matter”

wired: “solipsism is bunk; it doesn’t matter what’s real; if everyone were just hallucinations, would it actually change how you treat them?”

inspired: “solipsism is correct, this is all in my head, and that makes the entire world my headmates”

hey — if we know you (we were mutuals on twitter, we’ve talked in any non-fedi context, or similar) and we’re not following you, please say something and we’ll follow <3

ktemkin,
@ktemkin@chaos.social avatar

@artemist sure! I feel like we recognize you from somewhere else, too — were you involved in like QFG or nixos at like ~32c3, or similar?

ktemkin,
@ktemkin@chaos.social avatar

@artemist ah; gotcha — hard to tell who’s who through a little profile picture, and the twitter-> fedi move scrambled our brain ^^

we’re likely thinking of someone with a similar PFP or name at some point :)

honestly, we should stop using phrases like “I think” so much and then just like… not tagging our posts. who thinks, katherine? huh? who?

if it just levels up its game a little I’m sure it could really increase its DPS (disabled passion for subjects)

as our own manager, I just don’t know if I can approve this

@ktemkin@chaos.social avatar

nix users: what bothers you most about nix (ux-wise or otherwise)? what seems the most mysterious to you?

ktemkin,
@ktemkin@chaos.social avatar

@erincandescent there‘s exactly one feature that‘s really valuable in their current implementation, in our humble opinion — and that’s the ability to have “lockable” sources; rather than requiring inline hash updates for things you expect to update periodically

the rest of flakes around that makes it difficult to use, though

(okay, if we’re being fair, there’s also the fact that we approve of anything that gets rid of any behaviors that depend on NIX_PATH)

ktemkin,
@ktemkin@chaos.social avatar

@adingbatponder interesting — what services/configurations have you found finicky? (this is actually the one area where nixos seems to do pretty well, in general)

also keep in mind that in nix is just a tool to deterministically put files in places, so really it’s a generator for things like “run these shell scripts” >.>

ktemkin,
@ktemkin@chaos.social avatar

also interested in former nix users and users who tried nix and gave up or decided it wasn’t for them!

(thank everyone so much for the input so far — feel free to keep it coming! this is all getting collated into a big document which will hopefully help us help everyone!)
