No, even QR I can only accept as an option, as in completely optional. I’m out and about without a phone quite frequently.

smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Linux@lemmy.ml•Three Years of Nix and NixOS: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly6·26 days agoThink about it like this:
-
with ansible, you are responsible for making sure that executing the described steps in the described order leads to the desired result
-
with nix, you describe what you want your system to look like, and then figuring out how to get there is nix’s problem (or rather, is obvious to nix thanks to nixpkgs)
-
Holy fucking shit I am not alone. Oh god. It’s real. I’m not alone.
Not my style
Not comfortable
Too cold
Don’t worry, I haven’t had to use Windows or MacOS since the early 2010s.
Summarize and find stuff, iirc
Oh, nice. Other way as well? Can I comment from my Lemmy instance’s web interface?

Well, good news! Windows File Explorer gets built-in AI actions, so you can combine the worst of both worlds! 🥳

If I had to guess? Ubuntu Studio 14.04
That’s still eugenics, just as side effect
Computer Science (at a rather “prestigious” university for CS, for that matter, at least as far as that’s a thing here). Not in the US though, and none of the three universities I’ve studied at had mandatory attendance, for anything (exception: seminars, where attending talks by your fellow students was mandatory). As a result, I’ve never seen any prof take attendance.
A lot of comments on this post say that attendance was called esp. for freshmen classes, but frankly, I don’t see how that would even have been possible here, with sometimes 500+ students in a lecture hall.
In regards to assignments, at least in my experience, studying the lecture material and consulting it while solving the exercises was usually the fastest way to understand them and get them done.
Hi, I have been to lectures fewer than 10 times throughout my entire master’s. No AI, no textbooks, just lecture slides and doing the (ungraded) weekly assignments.
It probably wasn’t a smart idea (incl. for my social life), but it also wasn’t hard to do.
smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Linux@lemmy.ml•Atomic Linux Distros: What Barriers Stand Between You and Making the Switch?7·3 months agoManaging 30+ machines with NixOS in a single unified config, currently sitting at a total of around 17k lines of nix code.
In other words, I have put a lot of time into this. It was a very steep learning curve, but it’s paid for itself multiple times over by now.
For “newcomers”, my observations can be boiled down to this: if you only manage one machine, it’s not worth it. Maaaaaybe give home-manager a try and see if you like it.
Situation is probably different with things like Silverblue (IMO throwing those kinds of distros in with Guix and NixOS is a bit misleading - very different philosophy and user experience), but I can only talk about Nix here.
With Nix, the real benefit comes once you handle multiple machines. Identical or similar configurations get combined or parametrized. Config values set for Host A can be reused and decisions be made automatically based on it in Host B, for example:
- all hosts know my SSH pub keys from first boot, without ever having to configure anything in any of them
- my NAS IP is set once, all hosts requiring NAS access just reuse it implicitly
- creating new proxmox VMs just means adding, on average, 10 lines of nix config (saying: your ID will be this, you will run that service) and a single command, because the heavy lifting and configuring has already been done, once -…

Make sure you choose a proper open source one, else the app might collect data as well…
