What’s gonna happen if the post stays up? Probably nothing, so why are you upset

That’s sweet, I didn’t think about using nixos-anywhere for this purpose (just simplifying the install process on a new machine). I used it to great success to install NixOS on a VPS that only had a few OS options like Debian.

Yeah this is a good use case for it, if I remember right you can also trivially generate a live installer iso from the same nix configuration you’d use to run any usual updates. So you can make a custom installer for your exact configuration and copy that onto a flash drive to bootstrap you into a working environment. I think the live installer would generate something like a hardware-configuration.nix too.

I’m glad my favorite scene from Mulholland Drive is getting revived

Beach House might be close to this? You could try the songs “Myth” or “Silver Soul”

Other suggestions:

Pink Bullets - The Shins
Taro - Alt-J
My Warm Blood - The Microphones

Cardamom is a nice one which is common in Indian cuisine but underutilized elsewhere

This guy is gonna go back to his instance and talk about how tankies at hexbear support “Islamist Trump”

Worth it

Workers of the world, unite!

They openly state that their primarily goals in federation is to be obnoxious trolls, and boy howdy do they put a lot of energy into it. They are first and foremost, just obnoxious. It’s like 20% teenagers going through their edgy anti establishment phase, and then the rest are right wing, Russian, and Chinese trolls playing soggy waffle with each other. They pretend to be super serious about LGBT issues but then simp for Hamas, Iran and Russia. And one of their tankie leaders just got caught calling trans issues “western pink washing.”

It’s just a mess. It’s probably a bit overblown, but the community is legitimately annoying if nothing else.

Not sure if it’s petty boug of me to hope to contribute software in a way that materially supports revolution. I don’t know how it’ll be yet, but something like helping people communicate peer to peer securely over local networks in case they don’t trust/can’t use the global internet. I think Yggdrasil, Matrix (especially research into pinecone), Lemmy, ProleWiki etc are good examples of doing grunt work which sets foundations for when a revolutionary moment comes along

Me and everyone I love and hated would be dead, so it would be a bit of an inconvenience

I just downloaded it real quick, here it is in a fresh profile. The different color wikipedia tabs are different profiles to show how the color scheme works. It makes me wish it worked like the tree-style tabs add-on.

To be honest, the animalmaxxing theory was just to amuse myself, it’s not a real thing as far as I know. But you ever look at a cat just staring at a wall and think, how is the cat not bored?! It must be because it feels good

If I understand what you mean, I might have experienced something like it. I think I noticed it more when I was a kid, especially while sitting in my desk at school when I’m done with work, any time I could daydream a bit. It’s a nice connected feeling to my surroundings, almost feeling like the world is alive but not really.

That’s how I interpret this poem When Traveling I Used to See - someone who felt this kind of feeling and experiences/daydreams it as girls watching him. I take it like anthropomorphized version of the feeling you describe.

I suppose it’s some kind of mild meditative state, and probably also related to your body being relaxed in general.

Or, alternate theory, maybe you’re just animalmaxxing. I mean, you ever look at a goat or something and think how they’re so content to just stand there and do fucking nothing for hours? Maybe it feels really damn good to do that for goats. Humans are animals too, maybe you just got to that part of the brain.

I’ve got a similar use case and went with an X13 Thinkpad (AMD). It’s good for hardware support, but if you want a good experience for watching videos, I’d look somewhere else. The display and audio are not that good.

The comments on the Instagram post of this video are wild, it’s full of “I am a Venezuelan and I yearn for freedom, US send your best coup attempts”

It’s the same concept as running a mastodon server but turning off registration. No more or less secure.

Yeah I’m only a beginner in learning Russian but I haven’t seen the verb пожирать before, I figured it was something more descriptive like “consume”

Maybe пожарить also works - to fry 😂
