Crypto found a problem to fix. The reason the problem remains: everything is run by that problem so it was astroturfed to death by parties that run the current financial system and the enemy of their enemy (who’s a friend), opportunistic scammers like SBF and Do Kwan.

Glad we’re clear. That’s what I said.

I thank the OP for giving us the opportunity to call out a company so singularly bad for the future of humanity…but it did remind me a lot of astroturfing-style marketing I’ve seen on other social media.

No and you should honestly be ashamed to be promoting such an environmentally irresponsible, shitty Chinese company.

As a Haskell/Purescript dev, this guy makes me feel like I come from another planet where frameworks don’t dictate every decision in a programmer’s day.

demesisx, to piracy in i gotta ask... why so many plex over kodi users?
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

To each their own. I run a NAS as the main source of data in my network and the files are encoded as h.265 2160p 10bit. I don’t need another transcode step because my systems are all capable of decoding h.265 10bit in real time. To force my NAS to do another transcode would be stupid, IMO.

I’ll cast my vote: Kodi is far superior to Plex. People are just too lazy to learn something. I have a library larger than Netflix and Kodi makes browsing it very simple.

Ola’s demo was awesome. He managed to get a pretty decent heavy sound out of it even though there are a bunch of “coming soon” features. I was impressed but nothing is going to be surpassing my Kemper anytime soon.

And can you live with yourself if you buy a Quad Cortex? They’re like the Tesla of modelers…and that’s not a good thing. Also, those Quad Cortex style rotary encoders are a great idea until you realize that rotary encoders are prone to going bad over time and now you have doubled the already high likelihood of that by adding a button that requires people to stomp their feet directly onto that rotary encoder.

the liveIso branch is SIGNIFICANTLY pared down for your consumption though admittedly I was unable to get the live iso part working.

I got a working, good, lightweight, kickass xmonad home-manager config into the system/machine/liveISO folder just for you.

Absolutely. I think there are even some tutorials out there.

nixos.wiki/wiki/Creating_a_NixOS_live_CD

nix.dev/tutorials/…/building-bootable-iso-image

Maybe you could work in some code from: nixos.wiki/wiki/Impermanence to really keep it wiping almost everything on reboot.

Once you arrive at something, please share it to help the mindshare.


Feel free to look at my config at github.com/harryprayiv/nix-config (I added a branch for liveISO that I worked on for a bit).

If you git clone then switch to that branch, you could use the command ./switch_TUI to access the little TUI I made just now to walk you through the evaluation of your iso config under option 2 in the TUI to evaluate (kind of my way to evaluate and dry run until nix stops giving warnings) home manager config and option 15 for the evaluation of the system part of the config (all of the relevant files for this live inside of /system/machine/liveIso and I just connected them in my top-level flake). You’d just have to change filesystem mounts and other hardware related stuff…maybe comment things out until it asks for them then start to open things up again. That’s the beauty of laziness, IMO.

This seems like a worthy endeavor so I worked on it a bit.

Edit: heavily edited to include stuff that I made for you.

demesisx, to asklemmy in New to America USA, how do you socialize and meet new people?
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

That’s the cool part. You don’t! ;)

demesisx, (edited ) to coffee in Need suggestions for grinder
@demesisx@infosec.pub avatar

I’ve been using an Orphan Espresso Lido 2 ($195 USD when I bought it….BIFL!!) that I’ve used for years for aeropress lattes that I now use for espresso. With a WDT and a spinning distribution tamper, it’s pretty incredible the results I can get with a stock Rancilio Silvia and a bottomless basket. 20g of espresso is no problem to grind at a time for a triple shot basket.

I hear ya. I recommend forking a setup and modding it slowly in a VM. That way, you can dial it in progressively.

I understand that it’s a sea change and documentation isn’t great but I’d posit that there are plenty of great setups on GitHub that will get you 99% of the way toward a working config. Whatever you decide, I hope you realize I’m not trying to pressure you. I just really love it once I got used to it’s way of working, coming from a more standard FHS Kubuntu config where I had to have weird scripts to mount discs on fstab on boot to do pretty standard stuff.

I have a VM part of my config (before I started putting anything that would even remotely expose good vectors of attack at all in an encrypted secure folder) that would work great and has all the fancy stuff like flakes, content-addressed derivations, and home-manager enabled by default.

Once a config works in NixOS, it is nearly impossible to break. That’s the thing I like about NixOS: once I get something working, it’s pretty much guaranteed to stay working and is 100% guaranteed to stay working if you never update the flake. I like to make progress and have that progress stick with me even when I refactor everything around it…and that certainly is the power of Nix/NixOS.

NixOS might be a particularly elegant solution to make that image reproducible and you could even do version control to get it just right.

demesisx, to asklemmy in You can remove *any* film from your memory. What do you pick and why?

In high school, most of my friends were into weed and normal shit like that. But then, our group started to get into ecstasy. After a few particularly weird e experiences, my ex and I were sick of it. We decided to decline an invite to go take ecstacy with some friends and watch this film instead. To this day, I have never touched ecstacy again. It reprogrammed us!
