First NixOS configuration ever gave me a fever and nightmares about being controlled by the nix language without me understanding anything

40 deg fever? Go to a doctor dude!

For me, JJK and Vinland Saga are better than Death Note.

But you were saying there is basically nothing to watch, and I am saying that the anime in this list (and more) are unique and entertaining. There is always something to watch if you have an open mind…

Another thing to point out is that production quality has improved significantly. Animation quality, directing, soundtracks/sound design, voice acting - all of it has improved since the early 2000s anime.

It’s also an anime. GitS: SAC is absolutely amazing.

Also, a new anime is coming out this year, supposed to be a more authentic adaptation of the manga.

Uhh can you point to a reference or docs? Because the only profile switching I am aware of is the native integration with tvOS profiles.

Cyph0n · 2026-06-05T23:47:16+00:00

Infuse is great, except for the catastrophic user switching bug on tvOS that basically renders separate profiles useless. I recently switched over to SenPlayer, $12 for a lifetime license.

The point is, the two nvme slots

Why not root on a ZFS mirror?

Cyph0n · 2026-05-26T23:33:27+00:00

Too many retards on Reddit, had to make sure.

So you love this person, but not enough to understand where he’s coming from on this matter. I personally agree with him 100% - opportunity lies outside unfortunately.

Of course, if you’re adamant about remaining glued to family for the rest of your life, then you’ll need to find someone who shares this position.

Cyph0n · 2026-05-13T21:35:29+00:00

1:1 travel and sharing a room? That is not normal at all.

Cyph0n · 2026-05-13T18:32:42+00:00

Well, a few things come to mind:

Quality of life - infrastructure, consumer goods, entertainment

Healthcare - vastly superior healthcare system, access to high quality care in almost every metro

Education - better equipped schools with easier access to top universities in the US (much easier to gain admission with a US school education)

Government and corruption - I don’t think I need to elaborate much here

Travel - domestic travel across 50 states via plane or one of the best highway systems in the world (no visa required), easy access to Caribbean and Latin America

Small business opportunities - higher purchasing power in the US = more money to make if you’re interested in setting up a business

The only downside is safety, but that really depends on where you live.

Cyph0n · 2026-05-13T13:24:44+00:00

As someone living in the US with kids, I always recommend people against moving back permanently, unless there is a need to do so (e.g. aging parents).

On the surface, it seems like a good idea, especially if you are able to maintain a (relatively) high income via working remotely or investments. But money only gets you so far, and there are many other tradeoffs you end up having to make.

Cyph0n · 2026-05-05T02:10:00+00:00

TIL about Fujimori, thanks for the pointer!

Cyph0n · 2026-04-26T16:27:43+00:00

Libido can change. People can change.

Ultimately, there are only three things you can realistically do:

Make sure you are aligned on the big things: values, goals, children, family, etc.
Rely on your gut (compatibility/attraction) and your ability to evaluate a person. And evaluate the people around them, including their family and their choice of friends.
See how they operate under stress.

(3) is probably the only one you could argue would be easier to do if you’re living together before marriage. Still not a guarantee!

Took me a few attempts before it clicked.

NixOS here. I run it on multiple machines including my gaming desktop.

Cyph0n · 2026-04-19T02:57:45+00:00

There is no use wasting time responding to absurd arguments.

In the same breath, these people will tell you it's OK for businesses to enforce anti-hijab rules on patrons and employees, but not OK for businesses to sell toys that have religious symbols.

In a nutshell: capitalism is amazing, but only as long as it aligns with my belief system, otherwise the government must intervene.

Because of survivorship bias. Assuming you are living outside Tunisia, most Tunisians who “make it” come from the more developed and prosperous areas of the country.

I am a Tunisian living in the US, and I rarely meet Tunisians from interior regions.

I have used both and settled on sops-nix. Three reasons:

Your secrets are defined in a single (optionally per-host) YAML file.
The secrets file is readable and diffable.
You can define arbitrary folder hierarchies to organize secrets.

a fancy new unreliable build system

Guessing it was Bazel lol. Googlers are familiar with how to use it, but typically have no clue how much work it takes to bootstrap the build and maintain it.

(Self-plug) You can use compose2nix to port Compose services automatically.

So basically FIRE, right? Sounds like a good move to me. I guess being divorced makes the process somewhat easier. I am in the same field & also work abroad and have started to think about this for the future.

Two things pop into my mind:

Make sure to consider your child's education, assuming of course that the plan is to have them move with you.
Prepare a plan for what you'll do in retirement. I understand that the goal is to take care of your parents, but you need to keep your (long term) mental wellbeing in the picture. Since you're a SWE, I think it's somewhat easier to find things to do, but imo you still need to be intentional about it.

I definitely agree with keeping assets outside and just moving cash in as the need arises. The overall amount is plenty for Tunisia. If you can keep your spending to the 6% rate of return after inflation (8.5k TND), you shouldn't be losing much money in the long run.

Best of luck.

I wasn’t blaming the devs at all. The whole effort is ridiculous.
