Not enough to actually do anything about it of course. Bless those furrowed brows of concern!

Maybe this explains why I can't stay interested in most netflix shows I try. Or, maybe they just suck.

I didn't have trouble paying attention during quality shows like Raised By Wolves or Scavengers Reign, but other shows that turn out to just be teen high school drama plus sci fi elements, or similarly predictable tropey fare, just leave me cold these days.

I never saw what was so hard about arch. But not doing anything weird so maybe I missed all the bad stuff? Wiki is nice.

Nixos, now there's a distro for beginners, lol.

there's nlnet.nl, but I think you have to apply for a grant.

Might be nice to have a foundation that would seek out key open source maintainers and direct funds to them, without them needing to self promote. The nebraska initiative?

I think there's room for a rust-lite language that is GCed. Something with a functional-style type system and that compiles to machine code.

Roc is a candidate for this language. Basically Elm that compiles to machine code, but with a number of tweaks to make it work for more than just a web front end. Like Elm, the type system is haskell like, but simplified.

a tesla that goes up in flames is a tesla that won't contribute revenue to Elon in the future.

What about a lenovo yoga? Reportly good with linux.

I just got a T480 thinkpad from craigslist for 120$. Frickin stellar machine for the money. Its not the fastest, but fine for light dev. Or will be once I put 32G of ram in it. With 16 I sometimes experience slowdowns due to swap. Luckily memory isn't soldered in on this model.

No touchscreen though, and I wouldn't get one even if it was available. Paid extra for that in my old precision 5520, and almost never used it. If it doesn't fold completely then its not useful IMO.

Speaking of which, my dell precision 5520 was a good machine, but had chassis problems. Hinge fell apart after screws fell out, and as a result the power connector broke, as did a replacement power connector. Dell battery swelled up making the touchpad unusable, so did a replacement dell battery. No-name lower capacity battery ok. Keyboard wore out and keys cracked, replaced but now becoming unreliable again. Screen and motherboard are still good, but unfortunately its become unusable. Some of these problems are to be expected in a 7 year old heavily used laptop, but I haven't seen this same degree of decay in thinkpads.

What my comment is replying to:

I am asking about the context that people use the term “far right” as a collective insult.

 

Judy Hyman played this tune on Bob Carlin's Banging and Sawing record back in 1996, and here it is again in 2024, Ithaca style.

Nice twin fiddle version of this tune, which is apparently from the english ballad.

"They've invented a new machine, I peg one shoe it pegs fifteen"

From Tricia Spencer's 2012 solo album. I think that's probably with Mark Ward on banjo and Betse Ellis also on fiddle.

Ripping version of this mississippi tune from "Jeb and Mark" plus Andy on bass according to the comments. No idea who's playing guitar. No one looks up!

carter brothers version.

Tractor Family version, Ithaca style.

Frank Fairfield really gets an old timey sound.

 

A big part of why nix documentation is sub par. The essential tomes of nix - the nix manual, the nixos manual, the nixos options, the nixpkgs manual - each of these documents is just one long page.

They are the digital equivalent of scrolls, rather than books (codices?).

Rather than having a page number (or page link), one must unroll the scroll to the point of interest. One cannot simply flip between two points of interest. One cannot have bookmarks, or refer to page numbers. Ctrl-F is helpful, sure, but not great.

For instance, I was just looking for the documentation of the systemd.services. options. Its near the end of the colossally long scroll known as the Nixos Options Appendix. Ctrl-F on systemctl.services will get one million hits on all the myriad services nixos offers before you finally get to the relevant section. And if you do find that section (with single pixel movements of the scroll bar) and then ctrl-f, woe betide you, you're now at the top of the document and your place is lost!

Travis and Trevor Stuart playing an original G tune "Henry King's Reel". Frequently called at my local jams. Travis is playing a two finger banjo style instead of the usual clawhammer.
