/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Isn't Nixos the new Arch? Its way more byzantine, still under development, a silicon valley darling and requires learning a new DSL to install packages.

The idea sounds great on paper. I love the concept. I'm not going to learn a language to install software on my system.

learning a new DSL to install packages.

This is an understatement. It's like a build system, package manager, and git repository were thrown in a blender. Those don't need to be separate systems, but boy does it help pin down what's going wrong.

Rant:

I noped right the fuck out after 60 minutes of trying to get nix to work as an isolated dev+build environment under Ubuntu. It probably works better under NixOS, but it's documented for this use-case too. After things stopped lining up with the docs, I realized it was going to cost me more time than it it would save.

Its starting to replace ansible/puppet/etc as the IAC tool of choice.

As an example, one of the core nix maintainers works for Anduril, the AI weapons/surveillance company run by right wing shit head Palmer lucky. Ive heard they are deep in the Nix ecosystem. Here is their nixos stig config.

shit I had no idea. That's a real shame.

I'm sure plenty of non shit heads use it, but yeah.

EDIT: Way more on this NixOS issue here:
