In Germany you’ll get a fine and lose points from your license if you show a middle finger. Even if you’re riding a bike out walking (if you have a license)…

Not a sysadmin, but a programmer. My work machines have been:

• 2003-2008 Windows 7
• 2008-2011 Ubuntu
• 2011-2019 Arch
• 2019-2024 NixOS

Probably going to keep using NixOS. This is a very cool OS.

Yeah. Although what if half of the country is intolerant? What then? Divide the country into two?

Yeah, I’m also one of these people silently enjoying systemd and wayland. Every now and then there’s fuzz on one of these. I shrug, and move on still enjoying both of them.

Been watching a movie per day for quite a long time now. There are many great ones. Just watch all the genres from all over the world and from different decades, you’ll find them.

Steely Dan. The worst part would be I won’t stop talking about the drum solo in Aja.

That is correct.

The winning strategy for us who do not want to gamble but save some extra for our retirement is to stop looking at the daily values, and invest the same amount monthly to a low cost ETF, such as VUAA.

Now, the S&P 500 has been coming up about seven percent yearly if you look into it for a longer period of time. Repeating the monthly investment until you retire is a good way to get enough to retire comfortably.

Yeah, the perks of the Android ecosystem. There’s also a version for Android TV such as NVIDIA Shield. Again just works and filters out ads and sponsor segments.

I’ve been using this one for years, which filters out ads and sponsor segments:

Only for Android though. If you use iOS, switch to Android and you’ll also get a really Firefox browser with ublock origin that blocks all the ads compared to that 30something% what every iOS browser does.

Rust and Cargo enters the room.

128 GB here which runs out if I compile the complete project at work with -j32. And this sucks because 128 GB right now means the RAM cannot run super fast, meaning it is a bottleneck to any modern Ryzen…

Autechre’s NTS Sessions. All of them work great, but start with the fourth one.

We’ve been using Linear in my latest company and it is actually quite good. No bullshit fast UI, boards, issues linking with Git, a support that can take a feature request that is often implemented in a week or two after asking it.

I run invidious at home on my proxmox server. The server is available everywhere with tailscale, so I can use it even when travelling. If Google ever blocks this, nobody at home can watch youtube anymore…

In my experience, nix works exceptionally well with Rust. Python and JavaScript are nastier, especially if the libraries use C extensions.

Zenarmor ftw.

Musl can be a bit annoying compilation target sometimes. Usually it works but I’ve debugged bugs a few times that were due to musl target.

I prefer my distro with glibc…

But do not run Linux, the kernel.
