    Okay why is your distro the best?

    Jump

  • NixOS. My entire config is source-controlled and I can easily roll back to a previous boot image if something breaks like cough Nvidia drivers. I also use it for my home router and all self-hosted services.

  • Happy dev noises

    Jump

  • Wow I actually had a boss that wore these pants and wouldn't let me upgrade from a decade out-of-date visual studio C.

  • Learning to program in rust

    Jump

  • Arc is not free, and the extra atomic operations + heap allocations can become a bottleneck.

  • What computer life hacks are your most used?

    Jump

  • Use a tiling window manager like sway.

    Get some big HDDs and self host your own file storage on zfs. Same for media servers like jellyfin. You can also host qBitTorrent web client so it's accessible from anywhere.

    Set up a VM in Hetzner cloud and host vaultwarden.

    Expose your services over wireguard.

  • 8, 4, 5, 2, 3, 7.

    The rest are not worthy.

  • This Overly Long Variable Name Could Have Been a Comment | Jonathan's Blog

    Jump

  • You say that like it can't also happen to symbol names.

  • Announcing the Clippy feature freeze

    Jump

  • Good. I've been bit by so many clippy bugs and false positives in the past year.

  • Your TV Is Spying On You

    Jump

  • Does anyone know if there's a domain blocklist for smart TV telemetry? If so, I could easily put it into my DNS server, like I already do for ads.

    I'd like to continue using my streaming apps without resorting to yet another device. I have an HTPC that runs KODI but I think it'd be a pain to replace all of my streaming apps.

    What were some computer programs and games you grew up with?

    Jump

  • Big Action Garage

    Tonka Construction

    Zoombinis All the Humongous and Jumpstart games

    Spy Fox was the best from Humongous IMO. Ms Monkey Penny?!? Hilarious. And I played that space bullet hell game soooo much.

  • New user dashboard is refreshed for enhanced onboarding

    Jump

  • How about completely redesign the front page so it's not a worthless obstacle to getting work done?

  • New Linux Users

    Jump

  • Honestly if you're not planning on programming, why should you need to know how to use the terminal?

    I get that it is incredibly useful, but I don't think it should be a requirement for anyone just trying to use their PC. I think the prevalence of Linux terminal workflows is just a reflection of the user base: mostly coders.

  • Oh my god finally. Can't wait for this to hit nixpkgs.

  • top 5 unsolved problems in computer science

    Jump

  • Oof, that's unfortunate. I can't say I've run into this problem though.

    1. Yes I hate this so much.
    2. Use a better window manager.
    3. Use a better web stack.
    4. Don't most browsers support this?

  • Hey Lemmy, what browser do you use and why?

    Jump

  • The Servo project has been revived BTW. It's still not usable as a main browser, but the devs are active.

  • You can't "skill issue" yourself out from every situation

    Jump

  • And here I am trying to convince my sales team that supporting a workflow where users run our app with sudo is a bad idea.

  • What are you talking about? FAFO obviously stands for "fill asshole full of". Like FAFO dicks. Or FAFO pennies.

  • Vaultwarden - Unofficial Bitwarden compatible server written in Rust

    Jump

  • I use it, it's worked flawlessly for me.
