I was a complete Nix beginner three months ago and thought Nix was terribly complicated and unnecessary. Glad to say I was wholly wrong and the transition was not that bad.
NixOS me provision my servers from scratch to functional file/media/home automation server in about 15 minutes using an entirely automated Nix installation process. It’s a beautiful OS for servers
Absolutely, people fixate on Korea and Vietnam while ignoring that the US has won many ”fast” wars since 1945. Operation Desert Storm is a perfect modern example.
It isn't as polished as whatever first-party solution Apple has the potential to develop, but I just use OneDrive to restore my personal data + chezmoi to reprovision my dotfiles and it works pretty well.
About every six months I do a fire drill and completely factory reset my macbook. Takes about 10 minutes for me to go from a fresh device to one that has all my apps, data, and developer tools ready to roll. Only annoying thing you can't really automate is signing into services like OneDrive or Dropbox, but this isn't a problem if you use iCloud Drive.
> Even linux tools like shred have given up saying they can actually delete data from disks due to how SSD's work these days.
Which emphasizes the importance of enabling full disk encryption immediately whenever you start using a new device--BitLocker if you're on Windows, FileVault on macOS, LUKS on Linux, etc. Trying to decrypt data is much harder than reconstructing deleted data on a stolen drive.
> Notably, the report identified lighting, brakes, and axles as prominent sources of faults in the Tesla Model 3.
I would have thought the battery or the powertrain or some EV-specific component would be the source of the problems. Does anybody know why these more seemingly standardized parts are failing at higher rates?
I'm surprised he was able to make such statements for this long.
I genuinely wonder why his captors even continue to let him live, when it seems like any post-2022 civil protest in Russia can and will be brutally repressed.
It's really awesome to see this recent counter-revolution of developer tools emphasizing simplicity. Nue gives me the same optimistic, feel-good vibe that htmx and Alpine.js gave me when I first read about them.
- relying on a high-end monitor to provide sufficient color contrast
- loading an unreasonable amount of resources only to provide laggy animations
...I'm wondering if the responsible designer(s) only have 32-in Retina displays and the latest Macbooks to work with. Because on any other combination of devices, the website looks and feels awful.
And I know this because I was formerly guilty of it!

Big tech isn’t far away from this. Scary to think what kind of applications can be derived from this technology. Imagine a hi-tech polygraph that maps your brain activity to speech—-do you have plausible deniability if something incriminating blurts out?
People adhere to their browsers pretty well. I wouldn't change my browser at home just because I use it at work unless I wanted to synchronize my Mozilla/Google account across both computers (and this is often prohibited on enterprise licensed FF/Chrome).
Moreover, many companies make use of GSuite to handle email or collaboration tasks. If you already pay for such features, then it makes sense to follow through the platform and stick with Chrome.
To end, I will say that I use Firefox daily at home and work.
