  • If you’re using GNU/Linux systems for almost three decades, you know your basics on how to help yourself. With Nix, you start almost from scratch.

    This is why I just never attempted it. It sounds interesting but you have to learn a new DSL essentially, a new way of configuring everything, etc. Then like the author- I haven’t really ever had to roll back and if I did need to fix I know how to boot a live CD, chroot, etc. And if youre learning all nix you could learn that if ever needed.

    So I made an ansible playbook a couple years back if I ever needed it. Still haven’t really. But it’ll get me to 80% if ever needed. Didn’t take much time and I have backups anyway.

    Even for servers I’d rather just use containers. Just a lot of effort for a moving target where I just don’t see near enough of a payoff, personally.









  • Disregarding the flippant comments, it’s actually a pretty good article. Speaks to why the Democratic party has such a hard time reaching anyone and at all pushing valid policy ideas on the general populace.

    The one thing I do wonder- would it work as well though? I already see some comments ‘I wish they would focus on substance’ or purity tests with anything even slightly left. I would hope they could do the same and actually be seen as honest and relatable but I worry that a good chunk of the “intellectual” part of the party would be very put off.
