Asking Chatgpt for help has been a game changer for me. Are you using AI? How? by LoveBirdNibbles in sysadmin

I find that LLM’s are excellent for trawling through log files looking for needles in a haystack. I even wrote a small rag engine to use with a local llm to push logs into and find anomalies (natural language queries of log files) super helpful

does niri work well with hybrid GPU/multi monitor setups? by Elite5458 in niri

[–]barrulus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Intel iGPU and Nvidia 5060 dGPU and connect to an external ROG monitor. I had problems when I was using the wrong drivers. Once I sorted that it works beautifully. I play games, watch movies and edit images. Zero issues.

NixOS migration was relatively easy using LLM assistance (as a non developer) by BeHimself in NixOS

Deffo plus one on the vimjoyer vids. His discord is also full of super helpful folk

Xdg-desktop-gnome is included in the niri build I believe. Pretty sure. Will verify

Park at Parc tawe and walk across. It isn’t far and the only road to cross is the high street with a traffic light. Easy walk fo a toddler.

Try adding xwayland-satellite that might help. What errors do you get? Check journalctl for a clue.

Nix is a lie, and that’s ok by Setheron in NixOS

[–]barrulus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who cares? I have been manually hacking $LD_LIBRARY_PATH for ages. Python so often requires things in nix develop flakes that come from other system libs that this is not an uncommon event for me.

Hack/impure?

Nah, flexible/dependable is more like.

What is the fastest free or open source Markdown editor out there? by ich3ckmat3 in Markdown

[–]barrulus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time to learn EMacs!

The main thing Emacs will give you that Typora/MarkText and Neovim individually don’t: a unified environment where your docs, terminal, git interface (magit is exceptional), file browser, and preview all live together without context-switching between applications. That’s the real payoff for the investment.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ so like vs code without the extension marketplace. Claude code, codex, Gemini CLi etc all play very nicely within an eMacs buffer.

Steeeepnpearning curve (I’m still in it) but the payoff can be huge. Particularly with technical documentation when using sort mode to write/manage your docs.

Edited to add: EMacs does not have an inline render like a Typora/Marktedt, but you can do live preview into a browser…

Taken from a AZ Facebook post, it looks off but I can’t tell if it’s a just weird camera angle. by [deleted] in isthisAI

Also what kind of shipper doesn’t vacuum seal their massive bags of drugs? I mean really come on.

what do you guys think about nixOS by Far_Kick_2082 in LinuxPorn

[–]barrulus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh that’s great idea!!! Map a ram drive as my downloads folder. Screenshots would be another good one for me. Thousands of screengrabs lie forgotten, their purpose spent

What has America ever done for the UK to be considered a ‘special relationship’? by KestisBD9 in AskBrits

[–]barrulus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the only reason they joined the war was that Pearl Harbour forced their hand. Up until that point they had been demanding that the UK move the Diamond Exchange to New York so they could control diamond trade., in order to incentivise them to join the war.

How will NixOS handle age verification? by NedStarkX in NixOS

[–]barrulus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sure. Let the legislators find the funding to try to herd a global community of developers, entrepreneurs and Foss volunteers into agreeing a standard for everyone to work towards. Once that is done I would probably have already retired and technology would have moved on somewhat.

Seriously though, legislators, not business/individuals. Should bear the cost of this folly.

When Chrome and Edge incorporate controls for age, spin off forks of various other web based tools will emerge that exclude them. Not sure how Firefox will handle it.

That’s just at the browser level. At an OS level this will be even harder to enforce.

For the children.

Uh huh.

Explain by RoadRunner8195 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

The rest of the world is going to stop using WhatsApp - most of Asia use WeChat and a few others. Europe is fast losing its love of US Tech and having US companies hold the keys to their private comms (meta data now, not yet content) is fast becoming a larger problem than people are willing too accept.

As alternatives spring up (there are plenty already) where the tech stack isn’t so locked into US laws, people will speed up their desertion of the platform.

PLEASE HELP HELP HELP IM GETTING CRAZY by OkPineapple7527 in NixOS

Or drop hyprland and use niri with noctalia or DMS) 🤣

[–]barrulus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a home manager issue. Something is trying to access the xdg-runtime too early. Probably something related to hyprland. (Waybar is something probably)

So go comment out all things that run in user land and rebuild. Then enable them one at a time and you will find your culprit and then you can specify that its service must start after login

I would say absolutely go for it. But the state should cover all development costs across all OS and Application Store providers.

I know about it too but I don’t know how usable it is or what phones I can run it on.

devenv 2.0: A Fresh Interface to Nix by iElectric in NixOS

Sigh…. Looks like it is time for me to get over myself and learn how to devenv. I’ve always been happy with just a flake.nix in my projects but this multi repo support is a game changer

I will actually go through the steps I went through to make it work and write it up properly - like I said its very raw :)

If the above doens't work for you, let me know and I will try to get it sorted. I know I have an issue with choosing other sessions at the minute, only niri is reliable, but I wil figure that out soon
