you configure your whole server in one file (including docker/podman services), installation and configurations is taken care of by the package manager, you pretty much only need to know one file to admin your system
and no extra stuff is installed only what you specify so you have a minimal resource usage.
i think this is awesome
although maybe not for beginners. for beginners use docker compose and do backups however you like
NixOS is awesome!
correct
good languages like rust have tiny bundles and initialize in microseconds, of course :)
thanks to wasm any language is a browser running language. JS is relegated to some token binding boilerplate as part of any framework and with things like servo/tauri rendering html will be pure rust
this should be part of car safety and legislated by the govt, no?
in the uk it would be part of the MOT to see that your software is up to date and working
if your service has to be public i would recommend getting a switch that can do VLANs and put your server inside it’s own VLAN DMZ so if you get hacked they will be trapped inside the VLAN
I mean pingora out performs nginx which is why cloud flare made it, I believe
Would that lack the performance benefits that pingora provides by being compiled without configuration file?
Yep it would need to be compiled from the configuration given. I’m vaguely interested in trying. I will look up the rust builders. Thank you
Yeah I love that about nix and I can imagine a clever package writer can make a pingora binary to mimic that configurabllity
Because pingora doesn’t have a Nixos package yet
in my experience the browser went through a poor engineering phase just as Chrome was getting good, and that continued for quite some time, the mobile browser took a very wayward turn a few years ago
oddly this happened at the same time as Rust and Firefox OS appeared which i think are phenomenal achievements
so Chrome ate Firefox’s lunch and the series of weird CEOs have compounded that by attempting to cover it up with progressive sounding PR
NixOS is perfect for server OS. hope in future a little more orchestration tools make it even easier to manage clusters of NixOS instances
yeah, i think any project needs effective leadership. without it disagreements can fester into conflict and bullying becomes a bad way of resolving or beating those you are in conflict with
just move to rust and be done with it :)
so true and it’s not just equalizers, it’s compressors and all the other tools for solving audio problems
i only switched over quite recently (a few years ago)
i swear there has been significant improvements in wifi, bluetooth, gpu support, gaming over the last 10 years that made me think it was now good enough
also there was areas where linux was outdoing windows for quite some time; system wide audio equalizer, customization generally, home services and self hosting, development tools
this limited scope ML trained analysis is actually where “AI” excels, e.g. “computer vision” in specific medical scenarios
