XenGi

Depends, some of the government apps are actually pretty well done and you don’t want to end up with an unofficial ID card app that steals your identity. The German Ausweis App is a good example of a well done gov app.

Seems like there is zero difference between the 8840u and the 7840u. At least I can’t find one. Why is it 100$ more then?

Does it have a touch screen? I can’t find that anywhere. Also no price info.

Your didn’t have to be a Marxist to realize that.

We have what? m( According to Wikipedia it’s only banned in Bavaria. So Germany is unaffected.

Most units shipped doesn’t mean most popular. In my experience Mediatek SOCs are the worst. They are the cheapest, but also the worst. I would take any Samsung or Qualcomm over them.

Synology usually just works. If you ask for a diy build, you have to be more specific.

My journey was:

• Mandrake/Mandriva
• Debian (v2.4)
• Ubuntu (v6.04)
• Debian (8)
• Arch Linux
• NixOS

I left Debian for Ubuntu when it simply worked better and left Ubuntu when it became too restrictive and weird. I need a working system but my freedom to experiment. Then I discovered arch and never looked back. Still kept Debian on servers.

Currently using arch on desktop machines and nixos on my servers. But I use nix for Dev environments and dotfiles even on arch.

Not sure if I’ll stay with NixOS but for now that seems like the direction I’m going to. Still love Arch Linux for it’s freedom though, but I’m getting older and don’t have the time to fiddle with everything.

The thing about ansible is to always remember that it really is just a backup python script that gets copied to your server and executed. Yes it works quite well, but you have to be careful to not have break on you.

For me the difference to nix is, that my bud expression will actually always produce the same output or tell me it can’t. Instead of ansible which will fail after some updates went past.

I usually listen to music on YouTube when I’m using a computer. When I play my own music, it’s from my Plex server with plexamp with a phone. I rarely use the plexamp desktop app.

140$? Why is this so expensive in the us? We pay 90€ (~100$) in Germany. So brake even is with like 20x 5€ shipping orders per year. Which I sadly do pretty easily. Getting the stuff I need locally is sadly not that easy.

Your favorite torrent provider has all the seasons of the show and even the special one that only aired in Japan!

yeah, pretty much.

It’s still available in their business accounts. :P

What the hell are you talking about? If you mean nixos’ dependence on aws, there are alternatives to that like cachix and in the worst case, you could still setup some distributed caching network like ipfs or something torrent based. AWS was simply the easiest choice at the time.

Mozilla needs to stay alive no matter what. If they go away there is only Google browsers left.

I donate 10€ to Arch Linux and NixOS monthly because they let me run all my stuff and occasionally to projects I like. Especially the ones that save me money that would go into media consumption etc.
