This is actually just the child preset. Saves a lot of time and effort!

Nixos’ weakness is definitely it’s documentation. There’s often configuration snippets you can copy and paste, though. If you go with NixOS, make sure to come back with questions, the community is very helpful.

“what”?

I’d rather be the resident evil 6 giraffe

I think suburb in English can mean nearby cities, too. For example, Alexandria, Virginia is a suburb of Washington, DC.

As climate change ravages Europe, the cars will survive.

Yeah, I mean Rocky Raccoon is legendary. I know it’s one of me and my friends’ favorite songs. A big ballad masterpiece. I guess Tommy and Rocky Raccoon were both part of a rock opera trend in 1968, not really sure.

The lyrics are amazing, with lots of double meanings, stylistic characters, and cinematic dialogue. The folksy country feeling and Paul’s affected southern accent is classic. The snare drum when rocky gets shot. The twist at the end with the song ending with the listener not really knowing if Rocky dies or not. The song also inspired the Guardians of the Galaxy character, Rocket Raccoon.

I honestly disagree that the Beatles were putting out “filler”. Much of Beatles’ lesser known stuff wasn’t filler, it was just not as popular. There’s some real quality and ingenuity in the vast majority of Beatles songs. There’s definitely some weaker songs that could be polished a bit, but even those songs often were inspirational for the entire industry.

Honestly, name any song and it’s probably well known for something.

Unraid is bad at NAS and bad at docker. Go with a separate Nas and application server.

C developers are basically the angry neighbor complaining that the city is building a bike lane.

Biking is really popular these days, because it’s healthier, cheaper, and better for the environment than driving, but new residents moving to the neighborhood will only move in if there’s good bike lanes. Now, nobody is asking the C developer to give up their car, but they’re still mad about the bike lane. They can’t be bothered to learn how to drive alongside bicyclists, and they say that bicyclists just have to deal with the fact that the C developers might run them over, and they should just get a car. All the bicyclists are afraid to use the bike lane because people keep getting run over by the C developer, and the C developer refuses to learn new driving techniques to share the road with bicyclists.

This eventually leaves to all the bicyclists moving to another city where they can bike safely, and the C developer’s neighborhood turning into a shithole ghost town with no developers left, all because the C developer is an asshole who can’t accommodate change.

Is there a way for me to be “notified” if shell access of any form is gained by someone?

Falco is a very powerful tool for this.

refactoring does fix bugs

Nothing is being rewritten in Rust.

Yeah, I think the network effect is a big part of it. People start seeing nix configs being used for projects, and nixos config examples are getting easier to find.

Containers are now ubiquitous and people wanted their systems to be similarly easy? Silverblue/similar immutable OSes fizzled out and people started trying NixOS? Probably many factors, to be honest.

Personally, I needed a new OS for my gaming computer, and I decided to experiment with NixOS after having tried Silverblue in the past.

If you’re not using something like synology, it isn’t really an issue to run applications and nas on the same machine. I would generally recommend separating them so you have more options in the future if you want to run muliple servers for HA or expansion, but it should be fine either way. It is worth noting that quad core N100 computers are like $150 on aliexpress if you want a cheap application server(s).

Generally it’s simpler if you have your NAS separate from your application server. Synology runs NAS really well, but a separate application server for docker/etc is a lot easier to use and easier to upgrade than running on Synology. Your application server can even have a GPU for media transcoding or AI processing. Trying to do everything on one box makes things more complicated and fragile.

I would recommend something like Debian or NixOS for the application server, and you should be able to manage it over SSH. You can then mount your NAS as an NFS share, and then run all your applications in Docker or NixOS, using the NAS to store all your state.

That’s fair. I’m just thinking I could never use something like this because I would be invading the privacy of others using my Jellyfin. I would live to see an anonymous view counter on every movie though tbh.

Seems pretty creepy to be collecting logs about what people watch. Why do people use this?
