NixOS on my Laptop, Desktop, Gaming Machine, and around 10 servers.

Still have two servers on Arch, waiting to be migrated, and I'm really itching to but NixOS on the Steam Deck as well.

This is the first time I see the entire comic, huh.

Oh, absolutely. In case it wasn't clear, I'm against chatcontrol.

They don't actually have to enforce that though. Rather, it's a neat trick: if you do use encrypted chats, well, you're purposefully doing something illegal! To hide information, no less! That surely means you have more to hide, and since you've already broken a law, let's investigate further!

To be clear: I'm not saying this is the intended effect. But it is a frighteningly possible one. Anyone who has reason to hide their communication (regime critical activists, opposition politicians, investigative journalists,...) either have to

  • accept that their communication will be scanned, making it trivial to spy on them and use that information (legally, no less!) to hinder/stop them, or
  • do something illegal, giving pretext for hindering/stopping them since they've now committed a crime

Why not just use home-manager on arch?

Didn't know about this, but sounds like a good cause.

Is there any legal risk involved with this? Is it recommended to run behind a VPN?

Racist. That's the adjective describing the father that's - somehow, miraculously - missing from the quoted excerpt.

  • Windows (family PC)
  • a BUNCH of Ubuntu-based distros (Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu Studio (which was awesome btw), Mint,... ) on my first own PC
  • Arch for years and years and years
  • NixOS

I wouldn't count the last switch as distro hopping though. It was a calculated decision after months of deliberation and trying things out. And now that everything is set up, I am very certain that I'll never switch to another distro again, Nix is just too good.

I STILL haven't finished NieR:Replicant.

Maybe this week.
