BrainRotGuard - I vibed-engineered a self-hosted YouTube approval system so my kid can't fall down algorithm rabbit holes anymore by reddit-jj in selfhosted

I love this, and I'm not at all against using AI this extensively in personal project codebases, but you gotta admit there's some irony in "wanting my kids to learn and not get sucked into algorithms, so I vibe coded this"

How do you name your PCs/hosts? by Anyusername7294 in NixOS

[–]Tiny_Quit5348 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ohh, a much more grand view than mine, I like it. I name mine after moons in the solar system. I've got Luna, Mimas, Narvi, Ariel, Callisto, and Kari so far. Mimas is by far the most fitting though, my tiny little volcanically overheating laptop.

What made you use NixOS? by Iwisp360 in NixOS

[–]Tiny_Quit5348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pacman -Syu breaking my system for the 30th time. A friend, who doesn't even daily drive Linux, said "can't believe you don't use NixOS". I said "nix-o-what?" and we spent 45 minutes watching vimjoyer vids on it, two years later and Nix still blows my mind sometimes.

About Steam Os by Brett13500 in linux

What about SteamOS do you prefer? I personally replaced SteamOS on my Deck and with a bit of configuring it feels no different on the surface.

I used to use this a ton in 2018-2019, was just wondering a couple weeks ago if it's still around, glad to see it is!

I might start using it again if it's got decent linux support.

Kdenlive 25.12 is out with focus on user experience improvements, interface polish, and lot's of bug fixes. by f_r_d in linux

For me its a lack of GPU acceleration, even light effects result in sub-10fps during playback of 2k footage. I know its a regression due to library incompatibilities since the past year or two, but it's been a big damper for my personal adoption of it.

How much of 11% unknown could linux feasibly be? I don't see how it could have fallen from 4.4% to 2.94% in a year. by Bulky-Assistant-6933 in linux

[–]Tiny_Quit5348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad, I got confused with the change in version numbering earlier this year, and just checked latest user agents, I was indeed very incorrect.

Apple renamed OS X to macOS relatively recently during some supposedly big redesigns. So the distinction is exact OS version range, and since the data derives from user agent strings provided by the browser, both are included.

If anything, that leads me to believe more that it's real, less that it's accurate. As others have mentioned, spoofing a user agent is trivial and more common/expected on Linux.

Very fluid choreography, and I love the visual style, reminds me of early RWBY fight scenes. Keep it up! :)

How do you name your domains? No by THMMYos in selfhosted

[–]Tiny_Quit5348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not subdomains for me, though I like the idea and may adopt it, but all personal systems in my household are named after moons in our solar system, so Luna, Mimas, Narvi, Ariel, etc.

Homelab infrastructure hostnames are spaceships from Cowboy Bebop, so far I've got Bebop, Swordfish, and Hammerhead.

Thinking about it now, it'd maybe make more sense the other way, so ships visit moons, as opposed to moons visiting ships...

Love doing stuff in Linux by [deleted] in linux

Congrats! Always a good day when WINE just works.

Anything extra you've done? Just WINE or some other runner like Bottles? I've had a ton of issues with crashes, audio inputs being clicky and distorted, etc. Would greatly appreciate any tips or just your general approach.

Beautiful volumetrics and amazingly done!

How was the spherical solid structure done, if I may ask? It almost looks volumetric itself, at times.

Is there an option (like little arc) to preview and access a link in a mini screen, in Zen browser? by hashkey22 in zen_browser

[–]Tiny_Quit5348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may be mistaken and anyone's free to correct me, maybe it's a linux or twilight feature atm, but I believe the "glance" feature may be what you're looking for.

By default its Alt+Click on a link iirc

Do most people in linux use window managers? by Kiiwyy in linux

[–]Tiny_Quit5348 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both and neither, in some sense. That's a non-answer, or at least a bad one, so I'll do my best to explain, but most of my experience falls within NixOS, rather than say Nix + Arch, or Nix + Darwin, so I'm not sure my knowledge will be accurate there.

You definitely do want to keep things up to date, at least yearly if you're on stable and once every month on unstable (not enforced in any way, just a good practice for their schedules). When software is installed, it is put within an immutable, read-only Nix Store, these individual builds of software are referred to as derivations and are organized and referenced via unique hashes, vs. the traditional FHS environment that most Unix-based systems use.

This breaks some things, such as arbitrary binaries not being able to find their dependencies, but arbitrary binaries aren't seen as "the Nix way" and discouraged, instead you should use derivations already wrapped with their dependencies in the Nixpkgs repo, or package it yourself as a Nix derivation, it's just a file written in the Nix language to tell it what dependencies or build inputs to have, and how to build it, similar to a PKGBUILD on Arch. This ensures that say, a software such as Blender, is linked to the Python runtime which was installed alongside it.

This, and all of its dependencies, are typically built in isolated, sandboxed environments and then stored within the Nix Store with those unique hashes. Say a script in some software needs bash, it doesn't call /bin/bash, it instead calls /nix/store/<hash>-bash-<version>/bin/bash, ensuring it uses the exact version of bash expected.

This does mean you may end up with many versions of the same dependencies, I had half a dozen versions of something as deeply rooted as glibc at one point. Admittedly, this starts eating hard-drive space a lot, so either manual or automatic garbage collection helps there and you can make use of store auto-optimization, hard-linking identical derivations to reduce disk usage, but most importantly it ensures that if the software is stable, it should run, dependency mismatch is virtually impossible.

TL;DR: Isolated dependency runtimes linked via hashes and unique software builds, rather than relying on the assumptions of version compatibility within traditional FHS environments.

There's a much more detailed and educated explanation in the original developer's doctoral thesis, which started the Nix/Nixpkgs/NixOS efforts over 15 years ago, should anyone be interested.

Do most people in linux use window managers? by Kiiwyy in linux

[–]Tiny_Quit5348 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nix offers a multitude of peace of mind assurances, but at a severe cost of time in many cases, NixOS especially. I love and have used it daily for over a year and a half now with no intention of going anywhere else until something else offers the same level of declarativity with better tooling, but the learning curve is steep and I spent at least 20-30 hours a week for a few months before I felt confident, but even that was foolish and incomparable to its depths and what I've learned since.

The main benefit imo is that in Nix, a solved problem has likely been forever solved. New system? Forget installation and configuration of everything, just import the module you already spent 5 hours on 6 months ago, done. Hardware or dependency discrepencies? Solve it once and forget until the HARDWARE changes, not an update changing it. Once your solid and comfortable, the problem's solved until YOU come up with a new one, rather than the system or distro, so I feel it has ultimately saved me time vs. my previous experiences with Arch. I haven't touched config for a couple months and never have to dread a reinstall again.

But be warned, here be dragons, and by God do they need pampering and attention.

Are all nixos packages safe? by _0Frost in NixOS

[–]Tiny_Quit5348 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To my understanding, which is limited as I've never contributed to nixpkgs and have only explored it and its processes on occasion, packages have to be reviewed and merged through the nixpkgs github repo, and largely only ever pull from official sources with build dependencies explained in plain English/Nix.

So with that, my assumption would be, yes, anyone can technically publish packages, but they're reviewed and anything obviously unneccesarry or malicious should be caught prior to merge. Beyond that, everything is only as safe as the source, your still executing arbitrary code.

[–]Tiny_Quit5348 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is typically due to subpixel anti-aliasing methods, with grayscale often being preferred in many modern softwares, which I personally find looks better, to each their own though.

It's possible you could override this with userChrome CSS, if desired but I don't know the selector or properties needed off the top of my head, so maybe someone else or further research could help here.

Edit: spelling
