NixOS for self hosted is awesome! A few lines of code and you have set up a service on bare metal, without needing to think about dependencies. Just look at this beauty, OP:

  services.immich = {
    enable = true;
    host = "0.0.0.0";
    port = 2283;
    openFirewall = true;
  };

My worst dependency conflict was a libcurlssl error when trying to build on a precompiled base docker image.

fascism is always seeking enemies internal and external and “punishing” them

1. Morality police definitely not hurting anyone. /s
2. Iran is not in opposition to western imperialism at all, actually, they are surrounded by friends. /s

That being said, I don’t think I would characterize Iran as fascist.

If you really want to define fascism, you need to understand how it appears:

Fascism is a counter-revolutionary reactionary movement led by finance capital and a form of dictatorship of the bourgeoisie which emerged during periods of economic crisis in imperialist countries. In other words, fascism is capitalism in decay.

Thus many of its characteristics becomes an aesthetic dependant on the specific material conditions and social superstructure of its origins.

They just made a blog post about the next version fixing a long standing issue with their database management. Should probably improve in the near future.

They have split the doc for installation (i.e. procure binaries) and running as a service. Providing you can do the first, it is the latter linked part that tells you how to set up Radicale.

Nice writeup and a fun read! Never thought I would encounter a fellow NixOS and FoundryVTT user in the wild, but I realize the Venn diagram of these kinds of users do have more overlap than I thought.

With regards to your point about Foundry needing more power than a cheap VPS: I have it working fine on an Oracle cloud free tier VPS (unfortunately not the ARM-cores). That being said, it does want a little more power.

I am not running it with NixOS though. I am renting a temporary space, so I do not own or want to do too much locally right now, and Oracle OCI was only sort of working with NixOS. I did manage to install it with nixos-infect, but think I messed up the SSH with my reverse proxy and had no way to fall back to a previous version, which begs the question how would you?

You linked to “NixOS friendly hosters”, do those give you access to boot options to recover from such a case? Since I did not have that option I determined the risk of failure too great for setting up NixOS on that particular VPS provider.

I also note that you use the nix-foundryvtt module and was wondering how your experience with it was. Does your sops define your login to the website such that it fetches the package automatically or do you have to manually install them?

I use this to help my grandma remotely! The two steps needed were to join her into my Tailscale network and set up SSH with key authentication only.

Now I am able to SSH into her computer and enable VNC (remote control) and connect to the VNC-server over an SSH-tunnel like this.

Why hate? It allows for easy functional programming with vectorized operations that bind to C for efficiency.

I reverted my original downvote because it was not intentional. Then I looked through some of your other takes and intentionally voted it down because I thought you were in the wrong.

That being said, I need not careful nor do I really need to care whether or not you let anything “go”. I appreciate that you want honest discussions, but policing other people’s reactions is really just your reaction to someone else’s content and does not help you attain your goal.

Actually, to be honest, I cannot remember so I assume I must have misclicked. However, it is maybe a little worrying that you monitor me and/or comment votes?

Could also be that I shut off my brain at some point. Your messaging is also not really super clear.

Get the Ashes of Erebus mod for Civilization IV instead!

Yeah, it is almost as if the companies operating in the area are price gouging on the basis of workers’ salaries 🤔

As a Norwegian I talked to some acquaintances about a TV-series they liked and I asked “Cool, where can I watch it?”. Then we all just looked at each other and laughed.

You see, streaming is a service and you choosing to not use their service is… uhmm… theft!

I know I am. I am also entitled to challenge your notion of “this is terrible” that is not really constructive to

I do not like them because the animations are arbitrary, with no proper theme and consistency to how they work and what they actually represent.

This is actually informative.

No, I am essentially asking why they suck if a common user, such as me, likes them. Seems they fulfilled their purpose?

They made me want to click each of them. So am I allowed to consider them nice, or is your “professional” opinion going to be the judgement of that?

We need to ban spoons because they are nazi pedophiles’ preferred tool for eating soup.

Generally speaking, Library Genesis, Anna’s Archive and Sci-Hub are your friends :) Otherwise you can try to email the authors. They will probably provide you with a copy.

It is a work of art!
