I really enjoyed The Social Network and I at least hope they have NIN doing the score again for this one.

I got started on NixOS on a whim really. I distro hopped every so often and like a month ago I wanted to try something different. Already used Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, etc but figured I'd give NixOS a shot.

At first I hated it and it just confused the hell out of me. Then when someone told me I should use flake for my config so I could through it in a repo it just clicked. Once you figure it out and "get it" it just becomes so easy. I'm still a noob at it but I absolutely love NixOS. It just makes everything so easy when you got everything in a flake with a config and home nix. Even backups are easy as you literally can just put it in your config to run. I even have it how where it'll toss out old generations after 10 days automatically.

Plus the fact I can just use stuff without actually installing it is awesome. as a Dev NixOS is brilliant for that.

yeah it's not going to be used for much. I was just thinking a browser like QuteBrowser, maybe Krita if it can do it, Wezterm, and of course remoting into on my main laptop so I can use it as a virtual second screen. that's it.

So maybe another distro would be a smarter choice? like just a barebones Arch?

Postal Workers are upset because Ottawa wants to do away with door to door delivery. But if you're Canadian and you know Canada Post the next question you're likely to ask is "wait...they deliver to your door? I thought they just leave notes saying they tried without actually trying"

Ottawa wants everywhere to use community mailboxes...something many places in Canada have been using since the 80s. This is a valid attempt to save money. I think this time the public isn't going to be on Canada Posts side.

they can't, they're too busy sitting in committees ensuring they make witty comments so they end up as sound bites on some random tiktok or video on reddit.

It's not a problem for me just because of the cost. I want to play Expedition 33 but I'm not sure I want to pay $70 to do so.

I'm happy just playing my old ROM collections or booting up Cyberpunk or whatever. but now I just can't justify dropping $70+ on a game anymore.

sigh, I'll probably just end up going back to EVE Online.

[–] rozodru@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

please, don't. I'm on another 3 month break from EVE and I don't want to go back just yet but....please...don't I'm tired boss.

this has been my life since 2003. EVE, take a break, EVE, another break, EVE, so on and so forth.

As a Canadian I feel like I speak for the rest of my country and say "fuck off, buddy"

Should let his contract run out with the fed and go back to New Japan to finish his career cause god damn do they need the help right now.

but meh, I honestly believe he should have retired a year or two ago.

That Becky Lynch/Stone Cold ending made me choke on my coffee. just perfect, absolutely perfect.

That's what confused me I mean I just assumed everywhere outside of a major city already had these. Hell when I was a kid in the 80s/90s in Cambridge, Ontario we never got mail delivered to the house, it was all via the community mailboxes.
