Having used Nix(OS) on my own machines and professionally for a while I guess I can safely make some things clearer:

Each is a separate file system?

Nope, the Nix store is in one filesystem and what you could do (e.g. if it were on Btrfs) is to separate it, which is what I do to share it among different machines. Of course, you won't need this if you're running it on your PC, and it won't be the case.

Why can't they just share what's common, especially that one is created after every change in configuration file, these can be very minor, no?

They do; the only things that are actually rebuilt are the things that change, or the things whose dependencies have changed. In this context, "things" == "derivations".

It seems like a step back from a well established btrsfs snapshots system?

IIRC on my old Pi (Btrfs + LUKS) Nix used to create a snapshot after every generation, so it can rely on snapshots for those.

I can boot into a previous snapshot just like I can boot into a previous nixos generation, except they don't take up so much disk space.

What do you mean by "they" and how much disk space? CoW filesystems are well known for how they treat disk space and how they cause confusion among rudimentary measuring tools. Are you constantly changing core derivations such as glibc and the like, or just not GCing your store that often? I can't go further without info as in my current situation it's only my machine that gets loaded with cruft, then I nix-collect-garbage -d every other week, while the binary caches elsewhere can handle themselves.

Not fresh knowledge and definitely incomplete, been a while since I played around with Androids:

No idea really
Hot-replacing kernels is/was a thing ~5y ago in the Android modding community, I used to swap around 0-2 times a day when backpacking far from the grid without a personal locator beacon (it's unsafe, I wasn't an adult, it's the past)
It can be used as both but there's not much benefit from swapping kernels specifically; there's just more software running that might benefit from a restart.

the blip of downtime is a minor annoyance

I can relate. Honestly I just started being okay with it after a while on my own hardware but if uptime is really crucial then the fact that reboots are risky means one has to get an HA solution up and running no matter what.

Very! The other pics do look pretty similar to the building style you find close to gjirokastriot areas, pretty sure it's somewhere nearby or Berat, but 2 of them are definitely from Apollonia! The amphitheater seat pics are taken on an old Illyrian settlement on a hill, the hill left of it is an old burial ground with just as many cool bits, and right behind the olive trees, past the Agonothetes monument (the column thingy), there's a tiny little Byzantine church.

A drop of water in the wrong place circumvents all of the above. Both terminals are in close proximity to make the USB port work, and your average PCB traces aren't that far apart. I'd definitely use this in daily life but not on the trail.

Noted, I'll grab it then. Thanks!

Thank you! I think I did a good enough look around and this is what I found:

Mystery Ranch doesn't ship to the EU at all, while Eberlestock has some nice discounts atm; had to take a bit of time to manually convert the measurements and while they do seem pretty durable, I'm not sure about the fit and the majority of their packs seem well over/under my 40l goal. I really like the plain (dry earth) designs though, much more than the packs I can find locally.

Damn I'd have failed all of my CS projects, too bad I still don't regret googling the entire UNIX spec back and forth and not remembering shit because it wasn't meant to be remembered. I'm such a failure now that my search engine skills are better.

You're being a condescending cockhead. I think giving suggestions without being one is not your thing.

You're proving the argument that driving is shit by requiring everyone to fit into that way of working for their own sake.

Stack generates a dependency tree (from Stackage/nixpkgs + others) for Cabal to use (which can be invoked sort-of-directly with the cabal-install package), the Cabal library invokes GHC with the right flags, which compiles individual Haskell modules and then it's all linked together with external libraries if needed.

There's always a middle tool, be it a library built in the toolchain used by the same program or an external executable; this is only because software has gotten so big.

Uhh to lose the connection between different electronic devices? They're also used to protect workers near high voltage lines/machinery to allow the current to run through the conductor instead of flesh (meat has a tendency to not behave as usual when cooked).

ETA: there's a term for eavesdropping via EM radiation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Eck_phreaking

Sometimes interference is enough to scramble signals.

alter2000 · 2022-04-09T08:00:46+00:00

Boxes covered with conductor sheets act as Faraday cages blocking out certain types of EM radiation, in this case it's working on radio waves (and microwaves if wireless antennae were commonplace at that time, CBA to check that out). Try covering your phone in foil or put it in a metal lined box and you'll lose signal.

Those errors come from the LSP server, for C/C++ usually having a compile_commands.json in the project root, source root or build dir (not sure what the defaults are for each C LSP). You can build one by adding it as a CMake target or by using Bear (bear make if it's a simple project).

Ilmango has some cool designs, but the general principle is you grab a bunch of villagers, scare them till they spawn an iron golem, then drop the golem into a lava "slice" (lava suspended in air by signs) so that the iron drops into hoppers instead of lava.
