In all fairness, I grew up in a small town in a very red state, but the education system there proved better than larger, more progressive parts of the state. The education I received was likely an outlier and not representative of the norm, but it did teach me that educators in an area do not necessarily mirror the rest of the population.

Thanks for confirming. I probably sounded too condescending but I wasn’t sure if it was a false memory.

I loved math as a kid though, so I ran through the curriculum as fast as I could to get to the good stuff. I think having older siblings helped - it gave me a preview of more interesting material.

I’m sorry but isn’t this elementary school math?

The name sounded familiar but I couldn’t place it. I thought he was some old guy.

I’ve used several over the years, but right now I’m enjoying Hyprland. UWSM is also working well for session management.

I currently use Gnome on my laptop, but I’ve toyed with returning to KDE for a while. I used KDE briefly back in the v3 and v4 days felt like it was a bit bloated compared to Gnome v1 and v2. Cinnamon is nice but a bit heavyweight on graphics. I should probably return to XFCE or Mate.

Interesting question. I don’t think I’ve ever defended either. I’ve also only lived in capitalist countries, so I have no personal experience with other economic systems.

These remarks could discourage others from reading a useful and well-written article.

I still use GnuPG on occasion, but I’ve benefited from incorporatingsops and age into repositories. They’re pretty slick.

You do you man. I’m just trying to share some information that helped me.

For what it’s worth, some say that PGP is bad and needs to go away. I found that article pretty interesting when learning sops.

Dockerfiles act as instructions for the docker (or compatible) CLI to use for building OCI container images. Images may or may not have layers and can be exported as a tarball for inspection (with tools like dive).

Nix provides native support for building container images, and the resulting archive must be loaded using docker load. There is another library (nix2container) that aims for better performance and relies on skopeo for copying the built image to a docker-compatible server, local or remote.

Just wanted to share a some of the information I’ve learned. Cheers!

I currently use NixOS and nix-darwin, and I’ve enjoyed the ride so far. I use flakes with direnv for reproducible development environments, and this has been working out well. I’ve also been impressed with using Nix to build OCI containers.

The learning curve isn’t flat, but the ecosystem is fantastic.

I almost feel bad that I haven’t. I’ve used their documentation for years but never installed the distro. Most recently I’ve been having fun with NixOS.

It seems like we’re doing the human thing and interpreting things differently.

I read all of these comments in context on Discourse and came to my previous conclusions. The ban still seems out of place to me.

Tim mentioned several times that his concern was the community, and his comments all appear to foster inclusion. He seems to find a little more good in people than the steering committee allows.

Having read the comment in context, I think Gregory was reaching. Tim generally communicates in a disarming manner and simply observed that he doesn’t like how “sexual harassment training” sounds and prefers not to use that phrase.

It’s also not clear if posts have been deleted or altered, so I might be missing something.

This piqued my curiosity after witnessing recent issues in the Nixpkgs community, so I poked around Discourse for a few minutes.

Wow… Tim seems like one of the nicest folks on the face of the planet. I don’t get it.

Did I miss something? It seems like they’re shooting themselves in the foot here.

Were the mods upset about this community discussion after Karl was banned?

Thanks for posting. I was unaware of current events. That’s quite the rabbit hole!

This kind of news gets you in the Christmas spirit! Cheers!
