Idiots.

dotfiles and system configuration are pretty different use-cases, usually when you do system-wide stuff you want to manage not just the configuration files but also what software is installed and a bunch of other things. Ansible or something else like it is definitely the right tool for the job. And Ansible isn't so difficult to learn, you only need to know like 5% of what it can do to be very effective.

For dotfiles my personal preference is dotbot, but there are MANY many different tools that are all good and are just different ways to accomplish roughly the same thing.

I'm in a family group with only my wife and even we have 2 copies of Balatro.

What do you think you're paying with when you're using a "free" VPN?

This is the most British thing I've read in a while.

Same here. Only time it stopped working is when my last subtitle provider stopped working, so then I put in a few new ones.

Oh, that would have been really useful a year ago! Thanks, I'll keep it in my bag of tricks, it looks pretty neat.

Yeah I wouldn't call Arch a server OS. I run Arch on my laptop, but Debian on my docker/file/self-hosting server. Best tool for the job etc. Never even been tempted by Unraid, the whole point of running Linux is that I control what goes where.

+1 for Podman. I switched from docker last year and I'm really happy I did. It's not all sunshine and roses (can't copy paste so much from the internet being the main issue, nobody gives examples for it), but the product itself is much better.

This particular example isn't very good, just install multiple kernels (or compile one yourself) on your distro of choice and boot into the one you want with your bootloader of choice. Once set up you don't even have to change any configs any more, just use an interactive menu on boot. So even easier than NixOS? There are plenty of valid use-cases for Nix, this isn't one of them.

Oof. That's a well-made summary of everything going on with Eurovision for the past years. Really curious to see how the current situation of a whole bunch of countries threatening to pull out will play out.

We currently have an incredibly stupid government, so that tracks. Not for long hopefully, elections in just over a month.
