@BrodieOnLinux I discussed this with my friend a couple of days ago, this protest, to #Reddit is seen as "Hey we'll be closed for 3 days, see you after!"The only way is to remain offline, a sort of reverse #EternalSeptember

@OtomeKame @BrodieOnLinux That's fair, people can be hard to manage and especially when they just wanna log on to their favorite website to just find nothing and chaos. I salute you for the effort.

@oatmeal I made extensive use of #LaTeX for my graduation research paper, I'll look into it this weekend, hopefully figuring out how to do so on #NixOS shouldn't be an issue and I think it'll just require cloning the repo and loading org form the local repo?

An update on the journey.While #i3wm is cool, my Arch ghosts from 3 years ago whispered to try #dwm again. Still not knowing much of #C I gave it a shot and the only significant changes are- Each monitor gets 9 tags as opposed to 9 being shared between all 3. For my workflow this is more useful than the i3 approach.The cons are that the configuration isn't hot-reload (I know there's probably a way) but it's a con out of the box which could get fixed by me in the futureFrom a workflow point of view it makes each monitor a "space" that you switch from and to with dedicated shortcuts rather than an immediate jump alike any other (i.e. switch to the window to the right), for some reason this is different. I'll need to give it more time before I decide on a verdict.

#TIL, on #NixOS and I assume every other sane Linux distro, if you don't enable ports manually you can't use them, this makes sense and you'd assume I'd think of that when troubleshooting software like barrier[1] but no, it did not occur to me...[1]: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier

It has been so long since I last made any intentional changes to my notes, so much so that in the past 9 months I only just added the quarter review documents to my git repository for my notes...#orgmode #pkm

There's a vision in my mind for workflow that involves VMs and GPU passthrough. The idea is to have a stable foundation (e.g. Debian) and spring off various VMs as seen in the chart- Arch for proton gaming.- Ubuntu for work.- Windows for audio and non-proton games.- NixOS for anything else.I wish I could use NixOS for the base but I am unable to find much documentation for #VFIO. The most promising one are- https://astrid.tech/2022/09/22/0/nixos-gpu-vfio/ (2022)- https://forum.level1techs.com/t/nixos-vfio-pcie-passthrough/130916 (2018)- https://gist.github.com/CRTified/43b7ce84cd238673f7f24652c85980b3 (2018)- https://gist.github.com/techhazard/1be07805081a4d7a51c527e452b87b26 (2017)#NixOS #VM #KVM #QEMU #Virtualization

To grow up wanting to be a cool #Cpp developer and finding myself enjoying #Clojure and entertaining the idea of heading into #Java is surreal to me.

@louis The internet posses a memory most transient. No statement held by a group about another should be taken too seriously.

I must learn and practice every day until at the limit of my ability and beyond, then and only then will I be able to have a good night's sleep.

Yesterday I was trying to migrate a NextCloud install from one machine to another, I had installed it using a docker-compose file so I thought it'd be easy to just move the directories and call it a day, but no, it kept failing and deleting my config.php file. Looking at tutorials they all assume you are going to install it without docker and just move the directories. I am probably at fault here for not looking hard enough but one of the reasons I went into self-hosting is that searching up would be faster than support tickets, seems I was wrong for this case. The official backup[1] app has 3 Bad reviews so I didn't want to risk it with that.The story has a good ending in some way, the snap[2] for #NextCloud includes an import and export utility so I am starting over with the #snap this time.[1]: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/backup[2]: https://snapcraft.io/nextcloud

@pu I used the official docker-compose so that's another layer of "How does this work?" that I don't know nor can read about.

@pu I am not due to other things in life having higher priority, my thanks for the offer!I will test the snap export and import very soon to make sure I am not having this again.

Today I was doing some spring cleaning and processing of my notes and I arrived at an org document that had a 5-year plan in it. Safe to say not all of of its explicitly declared steps or tasks was accomplished, which mind you included "Learn full-stack development" in 3 months and "Learn flutter" in the 3 months after.Now, faced with the possibility of writing a new 5-year plan, should I even do it? I think that'll still be a *Yes* but to use a theme instead of a hard series of tasks, some over-arching projects, some roles to fulfill, leave the -implementation- details for later.Today I find myself being a back-end #Clojure developer that does data analysis, something I didn't even think about 5 years ago but it certainly fits the themes of "Learning" and "Programming". I think my next 5-years will be less "Be a developer" as I pivot myself into a more generalist role, go back and study #Economics, #Finance, #Mathematics and some #philosophy and #politics. A dash of #Arabic poetry and #Music composing would not hurt too.

An update on the journey.This is written with great appreciation for #NixOSTwo days ago I was moving from my T480 to an Optiplex 9020 that I outfitted with 20 GB of RAM, the reason to move was that I simply needed more RAM than the 8GB my T480 boasted, I first installed NixOS from an ISO I had laying around, then after the install I simply copied over my system flake, run the command to rebuild, rebooted and everything worked. I use dwm so my window manager setup was back up, Emacs configuration just worked, everything just worked, as someone who's used to jumping hardware and systems a lot I can say that this has been the smoothest transition I've ever done.Next steps now are to setup a separate `nixosConfiguration` for the T480 and start running with .#name instead of .#

Couldn't find any proper documentation for setting up Cloudflare, Namecheap and Linode to work together as is, Cloudflare tunnels it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

An update on the journey.I've been on #GNOME for quite a while now, since about October 3rd so that's 2 months of GNOME. I found the focused style of one-application-per-workspace fun to work with, I do miss tiling but I found my way around the "limitation".Still, after a recent upgrade to #NixOS 23.11, GNOME broke in several key areas, VSCode, GIMP and many other applications do not render on #Wayland at all, while I have found Wayland to be of immense usefulness for running 2 monitors at refresh rates of above 60 with no problems, such breakages are dangerous and with such a small community it's hard to find documentation. The problems I found are also hard to pin-down, is it NixOS? Is it GNOME? Is it Wayland? Can't tell, can't know.I might jump back to #KDE but there are issues with that too, mainly the shortcut to run Emacsclient (Super-t) is broken with nothing online about it. I'll check KDE5 out tomorrow and see if things are better or as buggy.
