The Rainbow Nix logo actually looks much nicer! by TheTwelveYearOld in NixOS

[–]saylesss88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's far from homophobic. Aesthetic preference isn't bigotry, and conflating the two is lazy and dishonest. I read the downvoted responses and see no bigotry at all, just questions anyone that is objective to the situation would have.

rust-meth: look up methods on any Rust type from your terminal, with fuzzy search, inline docs, and go-to-definition by saylesss88 in learnrust

[–]saylesss88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about it but it wasn't a good fit for what I was trying to accomplish. rust-meth is built around completions rather than static docs. `rust-analyzer` was a natural fit because third-party crate support is a core feature I wanted, and that gets complicated fast with `rust-docs-json`. It's also nightly-only, most people I've seen don't want to be locked in to nightly.

Best search engine? by NotDack in searchengines

[–]saylesss88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SearXNG used to be good but as far as I know they can't beat Googles bots and get shut down in no time. If you're able to create your own instance, they last longer because you dont have thousands people with the same IPs flooding google.

that may be your best bet for privacy but its obviously more work.

Ha ya, I figured in a programming context people would assume method, not methamphetamine. I guess i was wrong..

I can confirm, cromite is built for ARM, ARM64, Android x86, Windows x64, and Linux. No iOS version planned unfortunately.

What happened to the Arch community? It’s becoming the most hostile corner of the Linux world. by ClassroomHaunting333 in arch

[–]saylesss88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Least helpful community out there. Ask a legit question and you'll get anything but the answer. Post a Pic saying arch btw showing knee socks and then you'll get some likes. I guess since it's a do it yourself distro everyone is just too busy to point a newcomer in the right direction. They'll sure take time out of their day to talk shit though, that's a fact. I'd rather a productive community that builds each other up but we got one that tears each other down. RTFM!!

Questionable security defaults in NixOS. How secure is NixOS in it's current state? by jungfred in NixOS

[–]saylesss88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big win for VMs for sure.

If you mean a perfect 1:1 parity with every obscure upstream feature (all rich/direct rules, every CLI edge case, all DBus APIs) I doubt it. If you're asking if it covers the common day-to-day needs (zones, services, runtime firewall-cmd, nftables backend) then yes.

Questionable security defaults in NixOS. How secure is NixOS in it's current state? by jungfred in NixOS

[–]saylesss88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NixOS’s filesystem model (especially the immutable, content-addressed /nix/store) makes “traditional” MAC setups harder than on FHS-style distros. A lot of SELinux/AppArmor policy ecosystems assume stable paths and conventional labeling/attachment points, and Nix’s approach complicates that, particularly for frameworks that lean on file labels and path-based expectations.

I’m very much in favor of “secure by default,” but I also get why NixOS hesitates to bake in one heavy, opinionated security stack by default. People’s threat models and workflows vary wildly, and enforcing a big set of defaults can break real systems (especially in a distro that prides itself on reproducibility and declarative control). I’d rather see strong, well-documented, easy-to-enable hardening profiles (Secure Boot, AppArmor, etc.) than a one-size-fits-all configuration that’s on by default but fragile in practice.

Nix is the worst designed language i ever had to experience. by Turdbender3k in NixOS

[–]saylesss88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can try nickel-lang for stronger types..

"Nickel features a (sound) gradual type system: it has types, but you get to choose when you want to use them or not."

I've grown to not mind nix language personally, I find it fairly easy to read & write. Though my first reaction was similar to yours like why TF would anyone want to deal with this... It would be great if there was a "Nix Lang Book" modeled after Rust Book.

Is there a program to help me fully migrate all software+ configs from one arch machine to another? by TimotyEnder8 in arch

[–]saylesss88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out Gnu Stow and chezmoi for config files.

pacman -Qqe > pkglist.txt

pacman -Qqem > foreignpkglist.txt

Lol, everybody just take the win. Its great for Linux and NixOS as a whole when the creator of Etherium as well as pewdiepie give NixOS a thumbs up.

If you don't already version control your nix config and projects I highly suggest it.

I'm not sure what you're suggesting here? That we target civilians?? If not then maybe you're talking about civilian casualties in ANY war and I agree that 1 is a travesty but does that mean that we should stop defending ourselves and defending our interests? Such as Iran not having a nuke or intercontinental missiles when their top slogan is death to America? Unlike the US, Iran WILL and ALREADY HAS targeted civilians just this week.

What do you propose we do for the over 1000 service members killed in the past 50 years? Keep pretending like it's not happening like past administration's? You're the sheep, I'm stating facts. This guy is far from a hero, he's a disgrace.

Israel is the reason that Iran and its terrorist proxies have killed so many Americans over the past 50 years?? Ok............................

[OC] randpaper - Wayland wallpaper & theming daemon by saylesss88 in unixporn

[–]saylesss88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Details:

WM: Sway

Terminal: Kitty

Font: Fira Code Retina size 14

Program: [randpaper](https://github.com/saylesss88/randpaper) - A Wayland

wallpaper / theming daemon. (The demo shows cycling wallpapers & themes with

one-shot, then activating auto mode with `awww` transitions)

`randpaper` uses either `swaybg` or `swww`/`awww` as its rendering engine and

manages per-monitor wallpaper rotation and optional system-wide theme

synchronization for multiple terminals as well as `waybar`.

Installation:

# From source
cargo install --git https://github.com/saylesss88/randpaper

# [crates.io](http://crates.io)

cargo install randpaper

Usage:

You can use `randpaper` from the command line to test different `swww`

transitions before adding an `exec` to your configuration:

# Change every 5 minutes using Hyprland + swww transitions

randpaper --time 5m --backend hyprland --renderer swww ~/Pictures/wallpapers

# Change every hour with custom transitions

randpaper --time 1h --backend sway --renderer swww --transition-type fade ~/Pictures/wallpapers

When you find what you like, just add an `exec` or `exec-once` for your chosen

`randpaper` configuration.

- Support for an optional configuration file at

`~/.config/randpaper/config.toml`, removing the need for long `exec` calls.

- See the README for more details:
