Yeah Librewolf is amazing. I dialed some if the ootb settings back for usability, but all the “new” stuff Mozilla adds is filtered right back out upstream, so I never even see it.

Awesome! Have fun. And I know I’m just an internet rando, but feel free to ask here/dm if you get stuck with something. The initial learning cliff definitely exists, but it’s absolutely worth it!

Not really. (When was last time?)

The reason is more that the config language that you have to learn if you want to use NixOS is the exact same you use to package applications for NixOS.

So any user is also just a tiny, non-intimidating step away from being a contributor and package maintainer.

I know for myself, I never packaged for the AUR - just seemed way to intimidating and a lot of new stuff to figure out - but I maintain a bunch of packages and modules in nixpkgs, and they’re all stuff that was “huh, this is cool but not packaged yet; alright, I’ll package it in my private config; oh that was easy, let’s upstream it”.

Nothing else even comes close, except the AUR, but even that not really:

1. Signal
2. XMPP
3. Matrix

In that order. I self-host both XMPP and Matrix, and I wouldn’t want to stop using matrix. Spaces, arbitrary amounts of self-chats, and so on are great. I use matrix every day.

But for chatting… It sooner or later fails you. It’s slow. Notifications break. Messages are shown as sent, but somehow do not appear in the recipient’s devices until TWO WEEKS LATER (yeah IDK, happened twice already, in different chats and directions. Best part is, I’m not even federated!). Encryption is great IF YOU KNOW SOME CRYPTOGRAPHY BASICS, and utterly confusing otherwise.

XMPP just works. Especially the calls, holy shit, I had to fight Matrix for so long to make voice and video calls work, and xmpp just… Works. Notifications are way more reliable (as in, have been absolutely perfect). I really like monocles as a chat app on Android. (The downside is: can’t decrypt old messages on new devices, and desktop clients are ugly.)

So why Signal above XMPP?

Because it’s not your fault should something ever break in a vital service. Also the encryption and privacy afforded by it a great.

No, I’m really happy with fish in general and use its syntax. The only times are things like e.g. a coworker sending me a 3-line script and then not being able to just copy, paste, enter.

Funny, I also went from packer to lazy.nvim, but then hopped off and redid my config in nix. Hadn’t actually heard about the default package manager. That seems like a good thing for the ecosystem!

Okay, you know what… That’s actually better than what I said. Defeat acknowledged.

(However, it still seems a bit silly to me. name="value" will prompt you to enter set name "value", with your exact name/value prefilled. As far as I know, it really is just syntax substitution; or am I wrong here? Are there semantic differences that can’t be translated?)

I’ll second Pocket-ID.

I originally had Authentik setup. It worked well enough. However, their packaging constantly broke and no-one seemed to care.

Switched to Pocket-ID and won’t be looking back. Passkey-based OAuth was all I wanted anyways. (Also, the logins themselves are noticeably faster!)

I’d say I’ve spent enough time configuring neovim 😄

(Btw, highly recommend configuring neovim through nixvim if you’re already using nix. Incredibly stable. I had to fix one plugin or another all the time with plain nvim. Now, literally never. Plus, nix run github:<username>/<repo>#nvim on any nix-enabled system, and get dropped into your exact config, keybinds, theme, plugins and all. I’ve set it up to expose language-enabled variants by appending e.g. .go or .python to that command.)

(Sorry my comments tend to go off-topic)

That analogy only holds if they cook the burger for you, hold it in front of you, and go “we don’t make this”, then throwing it out

I just wish fish would accept standard bash syntax in addition.

Like, if you can warn me that “this is not how we set vars in fish, do this instead!” then you could also just, you know, do it.

Burden of proof is on Astrology claiming to be real.

• AI bad
• Astrology 100% superstitious bullshit

Yeah. Out of curiosity though, how far did you get into it?

(Not that it gets better in this regard or anything)

Well, no. Hopefully NOT the same shit.

Yeah, like 3-4x/week.

This includes things like train tickets, because I refuse to have to have my phone with me.

Pretty well - I took the JLPT N4 yesterday. I know these tests aren’t super meaningful, since they’re all comprehension, no production; I just signed up for it as a form of perspnal motivation back in January.

Anyways, the Grammar/Vocab written parts went very well I think. The listening comprehension… Oof. I know what I’ll have to focus on more.

But… That would force them to provide a great user experience in order to retain users!! That’s an unacceptable burden on the largest companies in the world!!
