I'll just steal the wheel and reinvent it later
Do you work for Apple?

Spent months setting up my home server with Docker containers while learning Linux.
Everything worked perfectly fine.Then I realised Ubuntu Server is just a Debian-flavored landfill. Switched to EndeavourOS.
Everything worked perfectly fine.Then I made NixOS my daily driver and thought, "Hey, let’s ruin my weekend." Migrated the server.
Everything worked perfectly fine.Found out I could run containers as systemd services. Replaced Docker out of sheer spite using compose2nix.
Everything worked perfectly fine.Then I heard btrfs was the bee's knees. Reformatted my drives, migrated again, and spent a week learning why subvolumes are better than sex.
Everything worked perfectly fine.Got a free MacBook. Slight hardware bump. Migrated again. Spent hours fighting T2 drivers while deepthroating Tim Apple's cock.
Everything worked perfectly fine.Rewrote every systemd service as NixOS modules. Why? Something something George Mallory.
Everything still works perfectly fine.Did I ever notice a difference from the frontend?
Nope.Was this a good use of my time?
Fuck no.Did it need to happen?
Does the pope compile from source in the woods?Im at the compose2nix phase of this pipeline. Ive got a bunch or sevices in Docker compose files and all of my systems have been running Nix for over a year now. Ive gotten the hang of my repo and made a couple modules for my specific uses and im hooked.
What would you suggest to migrate all my compose files into a nix friendly environment? I use flakes as well.

It wasn't without some advantage. The client hating it didn't bode well though
The client hating it just means you're smarter than them and should press on to help them outgrow their ignorance. It's a good sign.

I feel this! When I need to do something in my computer my first impulse is usually to think about writing the code. Doesn't matter how many free tools are already around. Why? Because software design and coding is fun! It's not cost-effective in terms of time and effort, but way more fun than reading a manual for an existing thing and getting good at that thing. Example: right now I'm looking for a self-hosted wiki to organize my upcoming D&D campaign. As I look through the docs for dokowiki and wikijs I'm already thinking, how hard can it be to write one? A mind is terrible thing!

If you survive you'll put it behind you and have the same idea again next week.

Put a lock on the wheel and charge people $0.99 to temporarily unlock it.
Evil. I like it! Maybe some mandatory ad viewing somehow shoehorned into the unlocking process as well.

Put a dynamo on it and sell the electricity
Use the electricity to power a screen and speakers and sell ad space!

Is the wheel FOSS? No? Guess I have to then.

The wheel has had a number of innovations over the years. The earliest wheels were flat disks of wood that were heavy and slow turning. The Romans invented spokes and metal rims which made them faster, more durable, and gave them more traction. Questions we need answered: What is this wheel in particular designed to do? Is there any way we could make it work more efficiently at its task? Do we value performance over reliability, or vice versa? Etc. Etc.
I think we need to take a bit of a step back and consider what kind of shed we might use to store this wheel...

To answer that, we'll need to do a deep dive into foundation technology (to determine if it is lacking and needs some improvements) (because we don't want our wheelshed to sink).

How is it licensed, Jigsaw? Eh? What distro is it from? Is that a fucking Snap wheel?

Ok, this set me off.

I switched to TOML for my stuff.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Wow, I never even heard of TOML. Very interesting - thanks!
edit: after looking at it a bit I think I'll actually try using it. But I find it ironic that the website for something billed as "for humans" and "easy to read" is done in light gray text on a white background. The CSS class they chose is even called "light gray" LOL.

I volunteer as tribute! (Anything, anything, is worth having two girls blow you. My god, it's full of stars.)

That's what documentation is for.

sudo systemctl stop sawtrapdAnd don't forget
systemctl disable sawtrapd
so it won't restart again.
