I've never faked an orgasm, but I've def been there. It's rough. They always say "Oh man men don't last long enough" but when they last longer than you...

Now I want to try this.

Probably omitted as "an exercise for the reader" since it's legally grey. And a difficult exercise. I cannot find it at all

Plan 9 has multi-monitor support?

Bash's posix mode still has a lot of bashisms. The only way to test true posix compliance is to test with other shells like dash and ash. I have found this is the case a lot of time. People will say it's POSIX compliant shell, but it'll obviously only be tested in bash Like at that point just make it a bash script, since pretty much every system under the sun has it.

Hmm actually yeah this is a good idea, but the problem is that there's so many servers that I feel that after choosing criteria there'd still be a bunch of servers in the list and the problem remains, right? Just bouncing ideas. I quite like this idea though.

NixOS musings (programming.dev)
submitted 11 months ago by Noodlez@programming.dev to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Hi all,

I've been using NixOS for a while now (About a month now) and I've been loving it, but I've had some thoughts lately.

I understand that Nix(OS)'s claim to fame is the fact that packages are reproducible. All dependencies are versioned and all packages are rollback-able (although not sandboxed). With proper maintenance (nix-collect-garbage mostly), the problem with space is mostly mitigated.

But what if a package's dependencies are out of date? These just stay out of date with their possible security problems as well. Not just that but it's (nearly) impossible to actually do your own manual imperative editing of packages to solve a quick problem since everything is declarative.

Not just this, but Nix uses mostly its own configuration methodology, so isn't this a maintenance nightmare as config files change and options are added/removed? Home manager is a prime example of this potential problem.

Plus more technologies being introduced on top of it to solve problems that seem already solved? (Flakes mostly come to mind).

I have come to the realiziation that, unlike a traditional distro like Arch/Alpine which I used previously, if maintenance dies I cannot feasibly maintain it myself, since it's mostly "magic". The upkeep of all the configurations plus all the dependency packages, and making sure each package compiles and matches the build configuration is a nightmare. I can barely do it with my own personal projects.

Anyways that's kinda it just expressing thoughts about it. I do love Nix(OS) and plan to continue using it. It's amazing, and its capabilities are matched by few to none, and from a user perspective it is an extremely seamless and simple OS. It's mostly from a maintainer perspective that I had.

I personally love Wayland for my system. I use Sway for mine and with support for VRR with my monitor, a lot of the vsync problems people talk about goes away (at least for me). I will say, some things that rely on Xorg screen sharing (Like Discord) will only share Xwayland windows. This is fixed in most applications, but not all. Also screen recording in general is a bit lacking. My main pro for Wayland is I use multiple monitors, and unlike Xorg which caps the refresh rate for the full desktop to the lowest (which for me is 75hz), Wayland allows different refresh rates per monitor, which means if I drag a vsync game over to a different monitor, the fps cap changes.

Wayland is also vastly improved by moving over to PipeWire instead of Pulseaudio. I've never had a singular problem with PipeWire and it's drop-in pretty much. I recommend that as well. PipeWire is compatible with applications that use PulseAudio so you shouldn't even notice a difference at worst, and will notice an improvement in sound latency most likely.

I think the main drawback about Waypand right now is people have VASTLY different experiences. Which is why I say just try it out. Most big DEs like KDE and GNOME have Wayland sessions that you can choose if you just install the wayland parts. Worst case scenario you go "This sucks" and go back. Wayland is only getting better, though, and I find that a lot of the problems I had even just 6 months ago are pretty much gone. Check in often and just keep your Xorg stuff laying around. That's the beauty of Linux.
