I had to visit it when I was in US. I’m a European and thought the tomato/shrimp/cream carbonara was hilarious. No need to go again.

Even though the reaper is the spiciest, my favorite pepper has to be the ghost pepper. Super sweet and nice taste first, then the heat builds slowly to something extreme. Excellent for making fermented hot sauce. Can’t wait for the peppers in our balcony to be ripe, so I can make all the sauce for next winter.

When the only thing that keeps your marriage together is the church and the only thing that keeps you from liking the same sex is god, you keep on fighting.

The super thin and extra dark slices with butter and juustohöyläjuusto… Yes.

Depends. I got my recent job from a headhunter: a Rust programming gig in a fully remote startup with good benefits and a great salary. When the offers are not great, I tell them. This was through LinkedIn.

This is cool because it gets rid of all the packages when you switch. There is nothing left of Gnome when you switch to KDE.

I really wish the default template switches to flakes soon. Using flakes is a must for the best experience, and converting the default config is at best a hassle and for newbies a huge mountain to cross.

You can. I run sway and it is configured through nix:

Gnome design makes it a bit harder, but not impossible:

Somebody doing the same for KDE:

So the answer to your question is yes. It is possible and kind of required to go the full nix route with NixOS. It might not always be super straightforward with large DEs, and for sure works much better with window managers that already utilize text configuration.

Just casually having Firefox with plugins and settings described in my NixOS config.

Works always the same.

The current default installation, especially if using Ansible, doesn’t use any commercial image hosting services. You need to go out of the golden path to do so.

Even using an S3-compatible host is not in the default path: the files are stored to the server file system. So, yeah, maybe this is the reason. And of course, giving your content to a commercial entity is something people in the fediverse doesn’t like that much. Wasn’t the idea to get rid of these entities that can just be bought by a billionaire asshole and suddenly killing your community.

It gets more expensive if you strart a successful meme community with lots of data. Some big Mastodon servers already store gigabytes per hour. Even with Cloudflare the expenses can soon get pretty high.

But yes, everything else with Lemmy is just a few euros a month.

No no, they do not care about us. They have an audience of 1B people who care about branding and self-promotion. Here you have 12M people who are very critical what you do and hate advertisement.

Shameless self promotion and brands or furries talking infosec.

Sweet popcorn, what kind of world is this?

24/192 rips from a half inch tape are the way to go.

You don’t do anything with those though without a DAC that can play that without downsampling and an operating system with a sensible sound service.

And the right genre and good ears.

Going back to my Steely Dan collection ->

How I see it, not needing to be in the big social is a privilege. If you can stay out, enjoy. I know a lot of artists etc. who, if they left the big social, would soon have no work or income.

Me? I open LinkedIn when I need a new job, that’s all.

Wait. Can I actual do some things faster with a mouse? I’ve been outside of terminal last time seven years ago, don’t remember that well…

Yes.

Here’s a list of servers per topic

I think the people using the Fediverse is already seen weird by the majority. I’m ok with that.
