Have fun! I moved to nix on my personal laptop 2 years ago, and now my config is 21k lines long and manages ~35 devices :)

The diagram very clearly shows there’s another Alternative…

Oh, sorry, I did not mean to imply that there re no players (there are, e.g. Finamp), just nowhere near the same level of polish, features and stability.

Jellyfin doesn’t have something comparable in the dedicated (OSS) world, but Symfonium takes a Jellyfin connection and is hands down the single best music player I have ever encountered on any platform.

Darktable is incredibly powerful. Like, the question is not if it has feature parity with LR/C1, but if those will ever reach feature parity with it.

But all that power is stuck behind a user interface that has never seen the loving touch of a UX engineer. Which really is a shame.

I think we can therefore safely conclude that the shark is also looking at your cheque account.

I just have one private german anime tracker. Everything else is Usenet.

Yeah… But at the same time, they didn’t HAVE to do 4 arcs and to catch up to Rogue One. They could have just made one arc into a season and given it the room to breathe.

Edit: there are seriously great sets in the Season, which just makes the… Suboptimal… Ones stand out.

No, don’t worry, not as bad as Mando. And again, plenty of people praise Andor S2 even beyond S1, so, don’t get discouraged by just my opinion.

For me, the first arc was just… Bad. For multiple reasons, which you will discover. The second arc gets a lot better, the 3rd I actually really enjoyed and the 4th was… Ok.

Again. To me.

Discussing this without spoilers is difficult, but in very general terms: I feel like they threw overboard too much of the gritty realism for “cool” character moments. Instead of logically motivated decisions, things happen because plot. Chances for character development are squandered left and right. Everything is rushed (because apparently this should have been 4 seasons, not 4 arcs?), except when it is super dragged out for no reason. This deals a blow to the impact of scenes, because characters have no time to react to devastating occurrences. And, while petty, I have to mention it: the set design got way worse, esp. in arc 1, but also sometimes later on. Extremely obvious greenscreen/the volume scenes for scenes where it would have been trivial to find onsite locations.

It is still the best star wars out there, just… A 6.5/10 instead off 11/10.

In my personal opinion.

I absolutely love season 1, it might be the single best season of television I have ever seen. The acting, the sets, the music, the writing!, the way it weaves its themes into the story masterfully, ever second feels intentional and characters are real, breathing beings that grow and change and hurt, and how every action has a consequence and motivation. It’s perfect.

Season 2 - to me - is bafflingly bad, with so many issues that I’ve legitimately, and somewhat ironically, given the topic of this post, considered starting a YouTube channel over it. It feels like after finally being given a good Starwars show in season 1, the fan-base has gaslit itself into liking season 2.

Another recmendation for Actual. I spend very little time having to interact with it, because after the initial setup, all transactions are now synched from my bank accounts, and 90% are automatically classified into my categories (not by “AI” or something, you just set rules like “payments to Rewe are always groceries”).

Yeah, all of the above, but also: blacklisting Pinterest from all my searches is almost worth the ten bucks a month on its own, lmao.

Planning to host a Nix caching server, and have CI build all package and NixOS outputs on every push to git, then in turn pushing the output artifacts to the cache. Would save me a good chunk of time when tinkering with VMs that haven’t seen manual updates in a while.

Only thing is, I’m not sure how to approach building and caching NixOS configs that receive agenix secrets in their input. Obviously those should not be cached…

No, not really. The imperativity of ansible vs the declarativity of nix actually does make a big difference in practice.

You do not need your fingerprint or any other biometric to use a passkey.

You do not lose access to passkeys when you lose your device.

Yes, and I do werether the recipient also knows how to use it.

So, for like, 1% of my mails.

More like: paying someone to maintain the hardware.

Anyways.

Just FYI, your mails with a provider like Proton are not E2E encrypted unless you exclusively wrote with other Proton customers (in which case I assume they are. No idea). Otherwise it’s just encrypted at rest.

I dint really see the benefit over doing it completely yourself, not even offering metadata to a provider, and also having encryption at rest, while maintaining full compatibility with mail clients 🤔
