(What about options in flakes.nix? Should I search those on the flakes/options tab?)

Not quite sure what you mean here. I normally only configure out-of-tree packages as flake modules (or whatever the term is), and I don’t think there is an official collection/search page for these. It’s mainly that certain packages require it like lanzaboote, and home-manager for that matter.

Once I enabled home-manager, I saw that in ~/.config/nixos a flakes.nix and a home.nix files appeared. I already have a flake.nix and a home.nix files in my etc/nixos directory. What’s going on?

It sounds like you configured home-manager system wide, probably through /etc/nixos/flake.nix, but then called the home-manager executable. If you did configure it like this then you do not need to call home-manager ever since nixos-rebuild etc commands will handle this for you.

Does putting packages in configuration.nix use the version control flakes provide?

Typically, it will be configured to follow inputs.nixpkgs so packages will use versions of whatever revision is currently pulled. In my system that is:

inputs.nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";

and then you essentially pass that to configuration.nix, and home.nix.

And although you seem to already be using flakes, when you call:

nix flake update

a new revision of input.nixpkgs will be pulled, and so packages configured in configuration.nix will be updated when you next call

nixos-rebuild switch

or whatever you used to update your system.

if you haven’t already as there is where I got started from for the most part. There’s a lot more detail I missed since nix and flakes are pretty complex (and I don’t fully understand much of it either).

System packages in configuration.nix, user packages in home.nix. I’d say anything that is non-interactive and/or requires root access is a good rule of thumb for system packages. Beyond that I try to use modules for configuring packges and there is usually only one of nixos and home manager options (sometimes there are duplicates).

As for flakes I mostly use it to handle a bunch of different systems from one config and any flake specific configs. I also use standalone flakes for dev environments but that’s not related to the system config.

They are planning to use KVM under the hood in the future. But who cares when we have qemu and libvirt.

The irony being that healthy teeth don’t look anywhere near that white.

This is good for america because reasons.

People with lifted pickup trucks can now go into even more debt, so they can flex on the “poors” (while complaining about their “economic anxiety”).

You can actually play from the UI too, but it’s not particularly nice to use (or intended to be used that way).

Another issue is that zwave isn’t available in all countries (or it is but uses incompatible frequencies) so it’s less useful outside the big markets.

I’ll add pinchflat as an alternative with the same aim.

That’s the point of this standard, at least in theory. Same with the older but still common ZigBee standard.

Perplexica is one example. I also seem to remember there is some way to integrate it with SearxNG which is a self hosted meta search engine.

I’m going to have to try the selfhosted variants now. What a huge piece of shit.

• FPTP voting system

• Voting isn’t compulsory so a lot depends upon on riling up your base

• Voting is on a Tuesday instead of a weekend (or a public holiday)

• Political parties draw up the electoral boundaries instead of an independent body

• The absurdly long leadup to an election

• The amount of money thrown around

This exactly, as long as your phone has at least one frequency band of the provider, then it will at least connect to their network and allow you to access data.

In the implementation in Australia, you actually will lose data access too if you’re blocked (wifi still works of course). That strikes me as kind of dumb, but I guess they don’t want to give the impression that it’s supported at all, since the whole thing is about emergency calling access.

It’s not just the bands. You could have all of the needed bands and still be blocked (and you could me missing one and just get a warning).

Possibly you are CPU bottlenecked in those particular games, in which case FSR would do nothing.

There’s also amdgpu native context support which allows native AMD GPU drivers in the guest (Linux only guests for now).

Haven’t tested it myself yet though as I’m using a GPU passthrough setup. Although I believe both of these solutions will support multiple VMs using it at the same time, which is an improvement over regular passthrough.

You can trace it back as least as far as Barry Goldwater and the rise of right-wing “think-tanks” in the 1960s which came as a backlash to the civil rights movement and the perceived dominance of left-wing politics in government. Which led to Nixon’s “Southern Strategy”, right-wing talk radio, Fox News, and the ongoing brainwashing of much of rural America in particular.

I don’t think Bush ever sunk to the depths of the Hitler-like rhetoric that Trump and his cronies have been using, however. Maybe the guardrails will hold if Trump wins again (or loses again) but this is not normal.

Non-voters are complicit in what is happening. Maybe saying they are as bad is a stretch, but they clearly either don’t care or are ignorant about it.

that I put on a SD card for my phone

Pretty soon you won’t be able to buy a phone without expandable storage. On the plus side, internal storage is going up, but it’s still not big enough to hold a complete FLAC collection if it’s a reasonably large library. You can re-encode your library just for phone usage, but that’s a bit annoying to maintain.

Also, I’ve found all of the offline music players on Android kind of suck, and don’t support the workflow I like or have bugs.
