You're kidding right? Shatner's had a beer belly for the last 40 years and Patrick Stewart has always been quite thin. It's just luck and genetics.

It already does sound outdated.

1. You can run NixOS with Lix (I do)

2. Because Guix is less mature and more, ehm, opinionated, than *ix + nixpkgs

That's already the case in determinate-nix. Flakes do have big problems though - try cloning a big data project with GBs of data and see how much you love flakes when it copies it to the store every time you run `nix run .#analysis`.

Imagine building a brand new component library to replace your already quite successful component library and still making it React-only.

It's annoying, sure, but it's not worth disabling SIP.

Why?

But this is my point — it would take hundreds, or even thousands of years for aliens to get here. To do that they'd need some sort of abundant fuel source.

Let's say they have had thousands of years of Nuclear Fusion, for example, it wouldn't surprise me if they could produce any elements they need by fusing hydrogen.

But let's say they didn't, and they do in fact see Earth as a rare jewel full of precious materials... the logistics of taking our natural resources just seems like a joke. Surely the juice isn't worth the hundreds of years of planning and logistics squeeze.

I used to buy this dark forest idea, because it's scary and exciting, but I think the biggest mistake is projecting our behaviours onto extra-terrestrials.

If they wanted to destroy Earth they'd just slightly nudge a big asteroid in our direction and be done with it.

We're like a paranoid child terrified that anyone that enters our room is going to steal our Lego, so we must be left alone!

Nobody wants our Lego.

> To flip it, why would I use unbound without pi-hole? What's the win I haven't seen (or even looked at or considered?)

In my experience, the fewer moving parts the better.

I run Unbound on my OPNsense router, and it uses the same blocklists as Pi-hole and the stats page (blocked domains, DNS requests, etc) are the same afaict.

I'm curious why you'd use pi-hole in combination with Unbound instead of using blocklists and stats that Unbound has built in?

What is multiplication if not adding over time?
