  • I don’t get NixOS

    It’s not for everyone. The idea is to have your entire system reproducible with a few configuration files, which you’d then ideally store in a VCS like git.

    I haven’t messed with it, but there is something appealing about the ability to reboot to an older snapshot of the system if an update breaks something, or being able to use a config file to restore your system to the exact OS version and exact versions of whatever apps you use.








  • Begging people on the internet to buy you things on an Amazon wishlist doesn’t give the impression you’re actually caring for a mom cat & her kittens.

    If you genuinely need help, reach out to your nearest animal shelter or vet. If you’re unable to afford food for them, vets/shelters can help connect you to cat food & other resources to help. They may also be able to help you re-home them.








  • I don’t buy into the myth that running your own mail server is “hard”.

    For a server with only a few users, the hard part is outgoing mail, ensuring your mails get delivered. I did what I can here, and simply use a paid service on another domain for important things where delivery must be “guaranteed”.

    It’s an interesting post, but saying it’s “not hard” and then “welllllll it’s not hard if you don’t bother with a spam filter & pay a professional company for ‘important’ email” is pretty misleading.
