I feel like setting up a new machine is just the easiest to explain.

Personally, I find dotfiles messy, as you often just want to change one or two settings, but you always carry along the whole file with all kinds of irrelevant other settings. This also makes it impractical to diff two versions of those dotfiles, especially when programs write semi-permanent settings into there.

I guess, your mileage will vary depending on what programs or desktop environment you use.
For example, I love KDE, but they really don't do a good job keeping the config files clean. Nix Plasma-Manager generally fixes that, and for example allows defining the contents of the panel in a readable form.

Personally, the stepping stone I needed to know about is Nix Home-Manager, which basically allows you to manage your dotfiles independent of the distro. From what I understand, if I do switch to NixOS, I'll continue using this code with just some minor tweaks.

But yeah, I agree with the verdict in the post. I like it a lot, but I would not have made it past the initial learning curve, if I didn't happen to be a software engineer. Sysadmins will probably be able to figure out how to put it to use, too. But it's just not for non-technical Linux users.

Versteh's insbesondere nicht, wenn's dann Plastikverpackungen sind. Einige Produkte kaufe ich nicht oder nur selten, weil es mir zu viel Plastikmüll ist. Was bestimmt keine seltene Einstellung unter Veganer*innen ist...

Mir persönlich geht's oft so, dass die Kerntemperatur meines Körpers einfach irgendwann zu niedrig ist, insbesondere wenn ich nur rumgammele und mein Kreislauf nicht in Schwung kommt. Also an den Extremitäten ist es zu heiß, aber wie deine Quelle auch anschneidet, die niedrige Kerntemperatur "will tend to suppress sweating as well". Und Schweiß wäre eben insbesondere gut darin, die Extremitäten runterzukühlen. Daher hilft ein warmes Getränk dann oft dieses Temperaturgefälle wieder umzukehren.

After seeing how excited some folks got during COVID, that's genuinely somewhat of a worry for me. Kind of like how lonely, young men can be sold on the idea of war, because they think they'll finally be adored as a hero, you can just as well find preppers who think they'll finally be adored, because they bought toilet paper before everyone else could.

In the case of COVID, it was thankfully a disappointment for the preppers, in that the best survival strategy was staying in your cushty home. That will be the case for the vast majority of infectious diseases. But I still bet someone out there had the intrusive thought that maybe they shouldn't help reduce the spread of COVID, because you won't be deemed a hero without a real crisis...

Proper ants only have 6 legs, though. But yeah, these spiders-turned-to-ants would have 8 legs.

Well, and crabs technically have 10 legs, with their foremost pair typically equipped with pincers. 🙃

Immernoch unfassbar, dass der Kanzler geworden ist. Man kann falsch liegen und es trotzdem weniger falsch begründen als so.

Hab mir für morgen den Wecker gestellt, damit ich direkt um 7:00 Uhr im Laden stehen kann und dann hoffentlich wieder zu Hause bin bevor die Hitze mich einholt...

Das einzige Argument was ich verstehen könnte, wäre dass sie so eben rückwärts ausparken muss. Man darf ja z.B. auch nicht entgegen der Fahrtrichtung parken.
Aber ja, denke auch, dass der Menschheit hundertmal mehr geholfen ist, wenn hier nicht an der bestehenden Gesetzesfassung festgehalten wird.

and no longer require a forced restart after applying an update via a package manager.

To be honest, that's the bigger Linux news...

Soll ja kein Auftrag an den Innenminister sein, aber es ist ein baldiger Auftrag an die CDU als Koalitionspartner hier Gespräche zu führen.

Mice can often find ways you wouldn't believe, but they still have to adhere to the laws of physics, so you might simply not have suitable holes in your apartment for them to enter. But yeah, also quite possible that they can smell the cat and don't want to enter the lion's den.

Not sure why I get the impression...

So, I use KDE Connect to sync my clipboard contents from my PC to my phone. Since a few weeks ago, it updates those clipboard contents regularly, even when said PC is suspended.
And apparently, the last thing I copied is 🙃, so now my phone weirdly smiles at me every so often. 🫠

Screenshot showing how the directory last-modified timestamp changes each time a file underneath it is added, renamed and then removed.

I'm currently working on a build tool, which does caching based on the last-modified timestamp of files. And yeah, man, I was prepared for a world of pain, where I'd have to store a list of all files, so I could tell when one of them disappears.
I probably would've also had to make up some non-existent last-modified timestamp to try to pretend I know when that file got deleted. I figured, there's no way to ask the deleted file when it got deleted, because it doesn't exist anymore.

Thank you, to whomever had that smart idea to design it like that. I can just take the directory last-modified timestamp now, if it's the highest value.
In fact, my implementation accidentally does this correct already. That's how I found out. 🫠
