  • 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.










  • I guess. I don’t see the sense in letting the right wing drive the car off the cliff because the car is not moving quick enough to your goals but you do you.

    And you should be showing up all the time is the point. Including primaries for all positions.

    The only way to overcome the inertia in the Democratic party is to, you know, actually participate every time. But in general primaries are very sparsely attended affairs and all these people with such great ideas don’t put forth a candidate or at the least don’t show up to move them past a primary. C’est la vie.
