Alpine is completely separate by RHEL by a country mile (hell, it doesn’t even use glibc). You’re probably thinking of Rocky

I don’t see why it wouldn’t. You may need to enable a config option or two though. Documentation isn’t NixOS’s strongest suit.

It doesn’t have to. I ran Sway on Nix the entire time I used it, and I know Hyprland supports Nix as well

Lemmy 0.18.x supports custom emojis, so we better be doing emojis on Lemmy

EDIT: Ok apparently it does not work the way I expect it to.

I still remember doing one of those award speech edits after my first comment reached 1k all those years ago.

My current/last account got to 57k comment karma without me really trying or giving a shit and is barely two years old.

GNOME’s stance on user customization has been “users can do whatever they feel like using 3rd party tools like Gradience or entirely custom CSS, but if you’re a distro maker then only use the Approved Ways™ to customize things”

Now, I have zero clue if that solves anything (it very likely doesn’t), but it’s actually more than most people give them credit for.

I’d say “go join in on the issue tracker and tell GNOME about this” but hearing from some people who tried that before you I’m not too hopeful that would do much of a difference. All I know is that complaining here isn’t going to solve anything.

It ultimately doesn’t matter where I am from. I’m just trying to highlight the fact that not all the world is the US.

https://codeberg.org/oliphant/blocklists/src/branch/main/blocklists. Feel free to pick a tier depending on the community you’re building. Tier0 is basically “the bare minimum” but you may want the others depending on the community you’re building up.

IIRC Lemmy doesn’t have a way of importing blocklists directly, so you’ll either have to whip up a quick script to do so or manually add things by hand, which is tedious and you will give up.

Lemmy 0.18 supports custom emojis now. Maybe you’ll be able to convince your instance admin to add one.

Most of Beehaw’s blocks are “generic ActivityPub assholes”, which, before the Reddit migration, was really just the worst of the worst of Mastodon, Pleroma, Soapbox, and Miss/Calc/???Key instances, with the occasional PeerTube thrown in.

They likely just imported one of the common blocklists and moved on with their lives, which really should be “how to secure your community 101” but most Lemmy admins haven’t seem to have gotten the memo yet.

I’m patiently waiting for the day those assholes realize most of Lemmy is open ground for them to shit in, boy that’s gonna be a fun few days.

32GB of RAM is less than $50

Cool, now how much is it outside “the US and maybe select parts of Europe where it’s close enough”? Because not all the world uses dollars, and certainly not US dollars.

The thing about NixOS is that while using packages are easy, creating them are still really hard and/or undocumented.

With most popular services already being packaged by people who know what they’re doing this isn’t that big of a deal, but when I want to try out something from Joe Schmoe’s GitHub (or worse, something I made myself) it is much easier for me to throw together a “good enough” Dockerfile and compose.yml together in barely a hour of work than to dig into Nixpkgs internals and wrestle with Nix’s syntax.

Because of the way it works, you can try out on a VM for a bit and move your config over to real hardware trivially if you end up liking it. That’s how I did it before I realized how immature it’s rocm support is and had to switch back to arch

I think “Plasma 6” just means “run everything off -git packages” for now.

all the major lemmy instances

Read: just two instances who got really big, alongside literal tankies (but not dot-ml) and some fash

Just in case you’re confused, most of their blocked instances are not even Lemmy instances but the general ActivityPub background radiation nobody really wants to see.

Also, if just two instances get big enough to be “all the major lemmy instances” than isn’t that a problem of federation to begin with? Some admins need to learn to just shut registrations down jfc.

Definitely not Gentoo based, but if you can get by with their unique approach to basically everything, NixOS can be pretty interesting, in that while it is technically source based, binary caches are widely used to basically “pretend” to be a binary distro. And it does let you patch things shouid you want it (at the expense of recompiling everything that even slightly comes in contact with the patched package)

There are some parts that are too “baked in” to change – requiring systemd, for instance – so that may be a dealbreaker for you.

That could possibly also explain why the XFCE spin was so broken for you.

XFCE (as a desktop, individual apps probably do since it’s GTK3) does not support Wayland yet.

The Asocial Network

Just leave the pirates be. People who’ll buy the game will buy the game regardless. Even the strongest DRM won’t get you more sales if people don’t want to buy the game. Piracy can also allow for word of mouth marketing though take that with quite a bit of salt as I don’t have the resources to back me up.

The “free code, proprietary assets” model seems to be the best option so far, as far as I’m aware. Of course this raises the issue of scripts in assets, like Godot’s GDScript. Do you consider them code or assets? It’s up to you of course.
