Home manager and flakes is something optional in today’s NixOS. I don’t see any obvious use for a single-user home system. Of course, many people go the flakes-setup route. NixOS has many customization options, up to and including docker installation.

Oh, it’s very simple. Home-manager is something not yet finalized, optional and unofficial. Flakes was added in Nix 2.4, but you don’t have to use it all. You don’t want to add unnecessary complications. You can do without home-manager and flakes on a single-user machine. This is just one of the system configuration options. I have tried deploying the system with flakes/home-manager, done it with docker and even with
nix-env. The performance gain is not noticeable.
This is the first time in 25 years of using Linux that I’ve changed distributions.

3·3 years agoHave you heard anything about uBlock origin, Ghostery and similar programs?
You’re exaggerating a little bit. Reddit is more alive than alive.
Fish can be bloated, too.
… and Linux is not Unix. BSD and Solaris are, in my opinion, much better than any Linux. The problem is that BSD suffers from hardware incompatibility, and there are very few application programs for the current Solaris.

Does anyone know where I can see porn that cats make?
I remember the “we are adults, not revolutionaries” entry in r/freebsd. After that, the subreddit administration decided to leave things as they were.
I don’t understand the point raised by R. Stallman about using only free software. Because for most of us the PC is a working tool, but in no way a religious toy.
Thank God I didn’t give in to herd instinct and delete my Reddit account. I did that four times in a row, and I don’t play those games anymore. I didn’t sign up for a subject that is foreign to me, especially since in my opinion the alternative apps work worse than the official one, and the lack of video downloads doesn’t bother me because I don’t watch porn. My Reddit stays the way it was. The FreeBSD and Slackware communities and a couple or three others have sane members.

3·3 years agoThe lists of smartphones on the Postmarket OS and UBPorts websites can be used as a basis. Theoretically, you can use for experiments phones that come with alternative firmware directly from the factory. OnePlus, for example. You could buy a Pinephone and experiment with mobile Linux.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How will Lemmy handle illegal content?
14·3 years agoThe creators of Lemmy keep telling us about the “federation” of the social network. A federation is something that has a federal center that exercises a governing function.
Just because we all have not been informed of the existence of such a center does not mean that it does not exist.
Lemmy sprawls thanks to his dislike of Reddit’s new rules. This is both a virtue and a problem at the same time. Reading 1,000 “Reddit is about to fall apart” posts or copies of old Reddit posts is quite tedious. Oh yeah, there’s also the defederation announcements, it’s even more tedious to read that nonsense. Guys, you have not had time to consolidate, and already arranging a rant.
Xiaomi Mi10 Lite with stock firmware. Xiaomi QIN22F as a second phone. I’ve tried some third-party Android variations, but none of them, including LineageOS, I liked to use. Or rather I liked LineageOS when it was still CyanogwenMod, and then, as usual, everything went wrong.

I know such a man personally. He didn’t poop for two months straight, and then he had five feet of intestine cut out.
