Nix and NixOS users and experts: can you please explain to me why this 20+ year old technology has become the new hot thing in the last few years? I understand that we're dealing with interesting tech here, but I'd like to hear what's different now/recently.

trevdev,
@trevdev@fosstodon.org avatar

@JoeRess My guesses would be:

  1. Momentum & Critical Mass. Nixpkgs is huge and supports gaming now

  2. Flakes. They offer truly reproducible, cross platform builds. I have a Neovim flake that runs my bespoke config gosh dang everywhere Nix does.

  3. Home manager. My dotfiles and desktop configuration work across machines and sets up quickly every time I need it from scratch. With my current track record with SSDs this is hours of my life back.

Do you think web dev jobs will ever come back as they used to be in the last decade? Or has the AI hype or perception killed the scope for ever

I had the strangest critique from a coworker the other day.

My coding style is apparently "frontend-heavy"

I'm... a front-end software developer? So yes? That's kind of both the intent and the requirement?

I'm trying to figure that one out.

trevdev,
@trevdev@fosstodon.org avatar

@zalasur yeah this seems meaningless. My only guess world be "are are implementing logic on the front end that's better done by something else?" Are things a bit too crunchy? Other than that I'd need to ask follow up questions

Are people still happy to use AI generated profile images? Do you feel it serves a purpose?
I personally feel it makes one's account less personal.

Never in all my years of programming did I think I'd feel like the weird one. It doesn't help that I had kept myself in a FOSS bubble for the majority of my career. I am the only stubborn Martian, working full time in WSL2. People are confused by relative line numbers. Many don't even know what Vim is. I have only met one other dev who is comfortable with the Linux command line.

After a year of working in government, I am happy to report that I am still the weird one.

If I were to set my grandparents up with a password manager, which should I look at? My current leaning is bitwarden.

(I figure my preferred https://passwordstore.org wouldn't fit the bill.)

So I had a thought about something I see pop up on the fediverse from time to time: when someone posts a link to a non-fediverse website someone jumps in on their mentions to tsk-tsk them about linking to a non-federated platform.

I think this is bad.

Not only is this off-putting, but it violates the spirit of the internet. Federated websites should be allowed to interact with non-federated ones because both are part of a larger ecosystem, and trying to enforce "purity rules" is dangerous.

Well fuck - they have just undeleted posts I made years ago that I'd removed when I did a purge a couple of years back.

So Reddit didn't actually delete the data - also these videos are no longer on YT so the thumb is cached

They are so fucked
