Oh right, yes. Sorry.

The (edit: second) Osaka one is just sad. Grief sucks.

rmpc is great. But TUI, so not for everyone, I know.

Ah, I saw that post yesterday and also thought that one was Madoka. Eh.

Have a lovely day!

Wait what, now I’m confused / didn’t get the joke. Both the other shirt and this one show Madoka, no?

How DARE you call Madoka generic!

Isn’t that exactly what the commit message is for?

Chat is this real?

Huh - you’re right. I went back to Signal’s X3DH spec because I was sure I was right, but it seems I misremembered how the “prekey bundles” work: Users publish these to the server, allowing (in my original assumption) for the server to just swap them out for a server/attacker-controlled key bundle for each Alice and Bob.

However, when Alice wants to send Bob an initial message and she gets a forged prekey bundle, Bob will simply not be able to derive the same key and communication will fail, because Bob knows what his SPK private key is, while the server only knows the public key.

A compromised server would allow the server to man-in-the-middle all new connections (as in, if Alice and Bob have never talked to each other before, the Server/Eva can MITM the x3dh key exchange and all subsequent communication). That’s why verifying your contact’s signatures out-of-band is so important.

(And if you did verify signatures in this case, then the issue would immediately be apparent, yes.)

Edit: I was wrong. See below.

Jitsi is a group (video) call tool. It’s not even close to resembling a Discord alternative. And I’m saying this as someone selhosting Jitsi and evangelizing it whenever I can.

Is this some sort of public tracker issue I’m too private trackers and Usenet only to understand?

It’s a very steep curve to start, with some additional minor steep parts along the way, but it’s not a long curve. Once you got the core concepts and the basic language constructs, you’ve learned most of what you’ll ever need.

Two nice resources: search.nixos.org is super handy, and you can search GitHub with language:nix and a search term to get tons of examples from other people.

Oh, and nix and just is actually a pretty common combo!

Yep, exactly.

To be fair, if you use Debian, Arch, Fedora,… long enough, you also know how to tweak your machine for every purpose. In Nix, it’s just somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy, because you have to know how to tweak your system to achieve… anything, and then it’s the same tweaking mechanics for every other purpose as well.

My Steam Deck also runs NixOS.

Because this way I can much more comfortably configure it, plus everything game related I automated through nix for my Desktop (e.g. mod installs, reShade config,…) immediately and without any extra steps also applies to the Steam Deck.

Yes. Everything is NixOS. Because it’s perfect for everything.

Not to dimish your work at all, but: the Sonarr upgrades absolutely do work.

Definitely, but not categorically different.

Also I just re-read my comment and realized it could sound like I’m trying to defend Duolingo. I’m not. It’s shit. My issue was with the “only total immersion” aspect. While no doubt immersion can help boost your learning and motivation, it also seems to have turned into a buzzword used by (a subset of) (mainly the English-native) language learning community, to the point where I’m now weary of people using the word because far too often it’s not used as “you should actually use the new language!” and instead as “textbooks and grammar studying are useless, just watch anime 8hr/day until you are fluent”.

Sorry if I projected that frustration on your original comment. The above is just the abstract of a rant I’ve been itching to write for a while 😄

Ah, too bad. IMO better clients would make it drastically easier to convince people to switch.

Hm, I can create groups (also with muc), and the other members are added, but writing a message triggers “x left the group” for everyone. Dunno. Probably something trivial I overlooked. But honestly… Weather is too good today to be bothered 😄

Ah, I already had a TURN/STUN coturn server set up for matrix and jitsi, so it was just a matter of telling prosody about that. So I cheated a little I guess 😄 Here is my full config for that, in the unlikely event that you’re using NixOS.

Very cool!

Re: the backup / restore of state in NixOS: I found myself writing the same things over and over again for each VM/service, so finally wrote this wrapper module (in action e.g. here for Jellyfin), which confgures both the backup services and timers, as well as adding a simple rsync-restore-jellyfin command to the system packages. In case you find this useful and don’t already have your own abstractions, or a sufficiently different use case 😄
