A brave, vulnerably nuanced answer. Suspicious... what are you planning?

Sure, but GPL would prevent the Chrome tracking addons and other pleasant closed-source paraphernalia (the difference between Chrome and Chromium)
What percentage of scrutiny should we follow? [1]

Can't Ventoy bypass secure boot with the shim thing? i.e. ENROLL_THIS_KEY_IN_MOKMANAGER.cer
Or is secure boot just to ensure that "this kernel uki hasn't been tampered with"?
Furthermore, if it's secure boot autounlocked by TPM, won't I have to password protect my bootloader too to avoid kernel parameter oopsies? (Lol changing kernel parameters right then and there reminds me of the windows utilman trick)
The secure boot route seems fraught but perhaps I'm looking at it wrong
Yeah, you're completely right. Microsoft Teams refers to multiple communications platforms, not just one. Wikipedia and Microsoft themselves made the same mistake as OP here. Hope you can help!

I assume the envisioned discussion was supposed to be
Q: Thoughts on the Orphan Crushing Machine?
A: The CDC says crushing orphans is bad for our health.
A: The government in Orphania is expanding the definitions of orphans to all seniors, allowing a cascading orphan-crushing effect.
where we all experience the same negative emotion in a fuller, mildly variable way.
But yeah, it's kind of... predictable, isn't it?

Too late, I asked algernon. O.O
but yeah I don't think I'll make my OS an absolutely pure mathematical function that I prove the correctness of at every boot ~cool~ ~af~ ~tho~
I do rely on correct dev envs so I'll try my hand at nixos-shell -ing. Thanks for the input
So instead of commenting inside of nix files, you put nix files into .org documents and collate them so you can make your nix files an OS and a website and a zettelkasten-looking set of linked annotated nodes.
That puts a stupid grin on my face (ᐖ )
Dammit I was sure I was just going to stick with Arch until I saw this
Questions:
- You have home on tmpfs. Isn't that volatile? Where do you put your data/pictures/random git projects? Build outputs? How's your RAM? (Sorry if I'm missing something obv)
- What's your bootup like?
- Another commenter mentioned difficulties in setting up specialized tools w/o containerizing, and another mentioned that containers still have issues. Have you run into a sitch where you needed to workaround such a problem? (e.g. something in wine, or something that needs FHS-wrangling)
The "stable unstable" setup is a beautiful concept. Thanks for the dotfiles mention -- I keep hearing "you need to rebuild if you edit a dotfile" but I guess that's a myth encountered by people trying to nix too nixily, falling into said archetypal rabbit hole
Questions:
-
Does mixing streams "infect" other packages? I remember an old Gentoo thing where
~amd64unstable packages would want to spread on its own. Since it's nix I assume that an unstable package will require a bunch of unstables but they'd be installed alongside respective stable versions -- i.e. taking up disk space but not "spreading" per se
For packages its basically 0 time.
Is that really true for you? I assume you refer to the length of time it takes to copy paste a flake from online but how reliable is that really? And the other commenters mention that there's still wrestling to be had for certain tools
I have the most minmaxed memory of anyone I know.
I can't remember faces. Names. Barely remember people. Events? Psssh. My coats go missing. Jackets, hats, scarves, you bet I need to attach stuff to myself and keep a gruesomely detailed calendar.
But in school, I could remember concepts really well. Not individual facts, mind you, but concepts. So I had to learn in this sort of concept-first way to "guess" what the individual facts were. I don't remember the name of the dinner I ate last night but I knew stats geometrically/sum-ly enough to re-guess the formulas I needed to know. History classes definitely got weird with this minmax though.
Tbf I think this style is actually an emerging phenomenon. Salman Khan spoke of an "inventing math" type of learning, and 3 Blue 1 Brown and that one MIT prof forgot his name made a brilliant repetoire for geometrically/conceptually training linear algebra. Makes me wonder what pedagogy will be like in two or four decades. Hopeful c:
