I'm from the Y'all zone. Is it offensive to call trans people y'all? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Genuine question. What is the "tucky" in pennsyltucky? Is it somehow tied to Kentucky?

The future of software is Nix in c/nix@programming.dev
[–] lambda@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

I've got it working a couple of times. In my opinion they need to fix documentation, make flakes an officially supported thing and take it out of beta that it's been in for years so that documentation can be further created, and the installer should work on a majority of devices out of the box.

My laptop was the worse experience. I just wanted KDE and Firefox. I don't use it for much. But, KDE wouldn't load so I had to go into CLI and edit the configuration.nix and change some stuff to get it to work. It's a thinkpad that has official support for Linux. So, it was specifically a nix driver issue. I just installed Arch again and went on like normal. I would love to trust it with a server. But, I just can't.

It's built on Quake. So, I figured it might 😊

That's sick! I'll try it on my Steam Deck!

Edit: ran great. Controls weren't ideal. I had to use a mouse in the menus.

The blog post linked within was a good read.

Smart home in c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

A NAS is the perfect device to host it on though. Docker or VM.

At first, a lot. Not so much recently though. It's definitely more work though I'll admit. Sometimes that's the price to pay for privacy. Also, I learn a lot of skills that could help me get a good paying job by doing it.

My smart home is Home Assistant hosted on a server in my house. It's fully open source and has gone through multiple paid audits to show its security is good too. The only non-local-only integrations are the weather api's and my thermostat (ecobee).

Linus Torvalds: Speaks on the Rust vs C Linux Divide in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Its also possible that out of the people who hate on it, the people who haven't actually tried it outnumber the ones who have.

I agree. People need to chill.

Fair enough. Personally, I am a developer who only has worked professionally in C#. C/C++ scare me. I would get used to it if I were to use it professionally. on the other hand, I picked up rust as a hobby language for some low level stuff because I love the guardrails the compiler provides. I think rust would help make me a better C programmer TBH.

Any suggestions for a Wi-Fi ipcam I can use as a baby monitor? (programming.dev)
 

I currently use Frigate as an NVR for my outside cameras. I would like something that integrates with that. I really just care that it is fully local. I don't want a chance of someone on the internet being able to access a camera in my baby's bedroom.

How can I transfer non-steam games between Linux devices. (programming.dev)
 

I have a desktop and a steam deck. I would like to setup some old games I have on disc on the desktop. Then compress them and decompress on my Steam Deck without doing the full install again. I understand that with wine/proton prefixes they should be installed to a "fake c:/ windows hierarchy" can I just compress that and copy to a different Linux machine? Does it save which proton version was used? If I use something like Lutris or bottles can I import into them?

What would you use to remotely support a computer with "LAN" access? (programming.dev)
 

I have a few family members that I help support. For instance, I installed Linux Mint on my grandmother's PC. She doesn't know any different and my young cousin doesn't understand it so he finally stopped giving it viruses. I used to use TeamViewer to take over her PC when she needed support but I got my account banned because they believed I was using it commercially. Oh well!

I have Tailscale installed on the computers. This gives me SSH access. What would you suggest? RDP? Something else?

Matthew Croughan - Use flake.nix, not Dockerfile - MCH2022 (www.youtube.com)
 

I agree that dockerfile's are not very reproducible. But honestly, that's not how most people use it. I believe most people just pull the already built image which is very reproducible. Anyways, I found this video interesting and thought I'd share it and get your guys thoughts.

NixOS Gaming Setup and Comparison (youtu.be)
 

I hope I am not coming across as spamming as this is my third post to this community today. I won't do another today but I just thought this was interesting. I watch most of CTT's videos and this was one from a live stream where he went into gaming on NixOS.

NixOS | For Gaming? (youtu.be)
 

I was looking up gaming on NixOS and I came across this video. I have never seen this creator before but the video was interesting. So, I thought I'd share.

Is there a place that people share their configs? (programming.dev)
 

I know you can go github and just do a file search. I am just wondering if there is a place where people share and give descriptions. I would like to see what is out there in terms of "gaming configurations". But, I also would love to just read some random configs that can help me learn new concepts of what can be done in the config.
