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.

It's like climbing a mountain. It always looks quite doable from ground level. Only when you're two thirds of the way up and exhausted, and another peak has just come into view and the sun is setting and there's a storm rolling in, do you realize why other people chose not to do this. If you survive you'll put it behind you and have the same idea again next week.
Never give up! Never surrender!

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.

But my wheel will be much better. I will start from the center with a very simple skeleton and build on top of it as needed. It will be very modular, elegant and easy to understand. It will be my masterpiece.

"But is it a just a wheel if we add cloud and AI features to it? Think of all the leveraging of paradigm shifts!" . The trap explodes taking everyone out; even Steve in accounting who had nothing to do with this and wasn't even in the same building.

It wasn't without some advantage. The client hating it didn't bode well though
YAML definitely felt less intimidating to me than XML, when I first saw them.
But the YAML examples also had much less information in them than the XML ones.
But not having to type all those brackets definitely helps.
In case of XML, I am always looking to just get a GUI going for it instead, because typing it out feels cumbersome (I'm from C++) -
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?NixOS Chad
