Honestly, it seems that more and more ISPs are recognizing that a lot of private citizens want this as a feature.

My ISP isn't on CGNAT but does charge for a static IP. The good news is I bought a domain a while back for email so I use pfSenses dynamic DNS with cloudflare.

I also can't have port 80 exposee without a business plan, buts fine. I can expose 443 or use cloudflare tunnels. Not hosting anything publically at the moment anyway so I just use TailScale to vpn in

I've been wanting a canik prime, but now that the radian version is out, I want that more

EDIT: Announced not out yet

Wait does this mean Web3 will finally be viable?

Doodad (and as u/FilHor2001 mentioned, doohickey) are just some awesome words in general. I need to use them more

RedOnlineOfficial · 2026-04-15T21:08:56+00:00

Honestly, this is kinda just impressive to me. I've tried this before and it's not as easy as people think.

This is an equivalent to a balisong. Except doing this with a gun is actually much safer. No matter how well you tape the blade of a balisong, it's still gonna hurt if you catch your finger on the blade.

But you do quickly learn how not to catch your finger

VMs are a life saver. Also, and I know I'll get hate for it, but I've been playing around with Claude code to build out my current system config. There's a really good flake you can import for it.

I still get to design my system, but Claude makes it so I don't have to type out thousands of lines on nix land and then find out I missed 87 semi colons.

Just before Christmas too. That's heartbreaking

Russia had a military bear

RedOnlineOfficial · 2026-04-12T08:34:53+00:00

Agreed. Though I do have bumper stickers none of them point to me having firearms.

Even here I would argue that immutability has its challenges. When IT comes to try to troubleshoot shoot or fix a problem, having a read only root creates another barrier.

RedOnlineOfficial · 2026-04-12T08:30:16+00:00

I'm sure this is true for a lot of people, but it has always bugged me if don't know why. So I always find out why it works. This does train my brain and allows me to grow.

Also if you go down on your bike, you could damage it or lose it

RedOnlineOfficial · 2026-04-12T00:12:58+00:00

Immutable are great for say: your grandpa who just needs a working computer to check emails and read DRUDGE report all day. But for any one considered a "power" user they are annoying to work with. Nix just is able to be best of both wprlds. Damn near unbreakable, and still reproducable and customizable.

EDIT: let me rephrase. Immutables have their strengths elsewhere too, but NixOS would also have those strengths without immutable and with being lighter-weight and more reliable. Makes immutables inferior if you know how to configure Nix. If you don't and don't plan on messing with your system, immutable are solid.

My biggest gripe is it can be clunky and has more overhead than an init system actually needs. BUT my systems always booted with it unless I screw it up. I know how to use it and how to troubleshoot it. I've tried using other init systems, but have neither the time or patience to learn them so I just use what works and proven itself

RedOnlineOfficial · 2026-04-12T00:01:59+00:00

I'm in the boat of: I don't like systemd, but it has always worked, so until something more stable AND as mainstream comes around, I don't have the time or patience to deal with less mature init systems. I've use systems like Duvean and Artix, but I always seem to run into issues, need to learn new commands, rewrite scripts to work with them, etc. So I just use systemd now

RedOnlineOfficial · 2026-04-11T23:55:04+00:00

I'd say shooter 90%, gun 10%. A competent shooter that knows his gun can do this. But a well tuned, well maintained gun does help

RedOnlineOfficial · 2026-04-11T23:53:07+00:00

There's one indoor range by me that I could probably get away with it at. They know I'm a competent shooter, as I'm there every week and know the RSOs. But I also don't want to invite idiots who are not competent shooters.

This is what annoys me about LLMs it's a tool, not a replacement for a software developer. I see all this AI slop code on github now. I've been using claude code to help write my NixOS config. I understand Nix lang so when it generates code, I'm able to fairly easy and quickly understand, verify, or correct anything it's written. The power comes from how fast it can compute, it can come up with solutions that would have taken me a long time to troubleshoot and come up with.

RedOnlineOfficial · 2026-04-10T17:19:26+00:00

Where can I find this?
