Yeah, except the fun part of soaring is the flying. Programming flight controllers is boring.

Docker Swarm was the dream. A shame so many were dissuaded from using it due to the potential for support to be yanked out from underneath them.

There's something special about the actual photons hitting your eyeball, instead of just looking at a picture.

I've been waiting for Microsoft to acquire Canonical.

Ruby makes for a good “super shell” script too.

It did last time I used it (a few years ago now).

No. It replaces the FHS with a whole new vision of how the OS is arranged and managed.

I wholeheartedly agree, and I am a giant NixOS fan, BUT:

1. You need space for the Nix store, so it's not appropriate for every system (I like building small embedded appliances).

2. A six month release cycle can get a bit tiresome after a while. I know it's personal preference, but I wish it was a bit longer.

3. Or, in order to contribute to the project, you need to chase the dragon with the unstable channel.

4. Forcing all the system state through the funnel of a single config file is great, except that it doesn't cover home directories. I found that I ended up with a massive unmanaged blob of state in my home directory which I couldn't capture (I never tried out home-manager, maybe I should have).

This is not to detract from NixOS! NixOS is great, and I remain a massive fan :-). But on my personal systems I find myself using macOS and Debian these days. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You can collapse the user list. Click the icon to the left of the search box in the header bar.

Yes, -current has been moving along. I'm too lazy for rolling release though.

Plus the downloads are served by mirrors and torrents anyway.

Yeah, CK2 runs nicely on a laptop. The newer games are just a bit much. I wish we could have the same gameplay and systems with a less-fancy engine.
