I recently dreamt vividly that I ate something. I didn't know I could feel taste in my dreams

nix-collect-garbage has a --dry-run flag which should print deletable paths without actually deleting them. Check out the nix-collect-garbage reference

YT-DLP on desktop or YTDLnis on Android let you download videos from almost any URL. They sometimes get blocked though

You did all this as a teenager? Impressive

Typst and LaTeX libraries can be used to create a variety of graphs within a text document, but no animations

You can use WinBoat or WinApps or even LinOffice to run Microsoft Office in a VM that feels like a native app. Or you can instead try Collabora Office which looks like Microsoft Office, but is based on LibreOffice

$10 per TB is actually crazy cheap even for used enterprise drives! Unimaginable in this day and age

... What you’re refering to as GNU/Linux, is in fact, systemd/GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, systemd plus GNU plus Linux. GNU/Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning systemd init system made useful by the systemd daemons, shell utilities and redundant system components comprising a full init system as defined by systemd itself.

Many computer users run a modified version of the systemd init system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of systemd which is widely used today is often called GNU/Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the systemd init system, developed by the Red Hat.

There really is a GNU/Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the init system they use. GNU/Linux is the os: a collection of programs that can be run by the init system. The operating system is an essential part of an init system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete init system. GNU/Linux is normally used in combination with the systemd init system: the whole system is basically systwmd with GNU/Linux added, or systemd/GNU/Linux. All the so-called GNU/Linux distributions are really distributions of systemd/GNU/Linux!

A photo of a cake with 8 candles in a row. The first and fifth candle from the right are lit. The caption reads "Happy 17th Birthday"

 

Whenever I see this picture I think of this:

| Creature | Swims | Walks | Flies |
| -------- | ----- | ----- | ----- |
| Dog      | X     | X     |       |
| Fish     | X     |       |       |
| Bird     |       | X     | X     |
| Duck     | X     | X     | X     |

Notice how for each combination of swimming, walking and flying, there is a living creature that can do just that, with the exception of swimming and flying.

Sure there are flying fish, but they glide rather than fly. Did evolution really forget to cover this niche?

 

McMahon reaction meme depicting increasing satisfaction. Descriptions read as follows:

  1. "You discover a new app"
  2. "It's in Nixpkgs"
  3. "It has a NixOS module"
  4. "It has a Home Manager module"
  5. "It has a Stylix module which makes it look awesome"

Sayori meme representing Linux users. Sayori is disgusted by text reading "receiving pre-installed bloatware" and instead approves "accumulating bloatware over time". Bloatware refers to unused packages.

Edit: You are so kind to give me advice on how to remove bloatware, but I don't need it :D
