Oh wow, this is literally what I've been waiting for.

Edit: OK, it's not quite there yet.

It does not. Spending money you borrow at an interest rate that's as low as it currently is, is way, way, way cheaper than going "Oops, sorry, there's currently no money for roads / bridges / hospitals / Kitas /..." and waiting until they've fallen into complete unrepairability, at t which point you'll have to rebuild for way more money.

And speaking of Kitas: we currently have far too few. This forces some parents to stay at home even though they want to work. Borrow money, build Kita, a sizeable portion of the population returns to the workplace.

Better infrastructure allows people to earn more. More earnings is more taxes collected, without raising them on the individual.

I've gone nearly insane trying to argue about this with family. How hard is it to see that investment in infrastructure pays dividends in the long run??

Funny. I just had to downgrade my kernel from 6.8.9 to 6.1 for my main game to work. So much for bleeding edge... 😅

(Not on Arch btw, but still applies)

Sioyek also does this

Highly recommend, esp. if you like using vim keybinds (you abviously don't have to, but IMO it's a fantastic feature)

I've been wondering this. I have multiple of the older (non-Dot, the tall, cylindrical ones) Echoes. I hate using them. But I do like the form factor and sound quality.

It probably can't be too hard to gut everything but the speakers, microphone and DC port, then wire in a Pi / Pi Zero, right...?

And if you need to set it to the low 30s range, it better be 32.

27 is also fine, because it's 3^3. I'll fight you on this.

If you're not using a standard DE (Gnome, KDE,...) but rather something like i3, Hyprland,... then I highly recommend starting with home-manager on whatever distro you're currently on. Once you're happy with that setup, it's really easy to add the "rest of the system" without risking a giant headache because your desktop still needs to be configured

Isn't the --remote-host missing here? (Since you're using --remote-sudo?)

NixOS on my Laptop, Desktop, Gaming Machine, and around 10 servers.

Still have two servers on Arch, waiting to be migrated, and I'm really itching to but NixOS on the Steam Deck as well.
