Talking on your phone like it’s a pizza slice; defeating the design, needing to then shout AND raise the volume, and generally looking like a moron on a reality TV show.
This song that I’ve wanted to record for the past 15 years.
It started stagnating when my preferred DAW changed a lot with the newest update, to the point where I had a hard time being productive in it. The struggle with new features that I didn’t like, and old useful features having been hidden (or even removed), took away the joy of composing, recording, and arranging.
And then I had kids. Four of them.
Then came a period of financial distress, necessitating monetization of every lucid moment I had. The stress killed any remnant of creativity.
However, I’m doing A LOT better now, both economically and mentally, so I started looking for a new DAW. I really fell in love with bitwig during the trial period, so I bought a license a few day ago, and I’ve started playing around with it, taking baby steps in learning to be as productive with it as I was with Sonar back in the day.
What a rollercoaster, but it sounds like you’re in a good place now, and heading into a really fun potentially personally rewarding chapter in your life!!
I have my garuda installation just where and how i want it to be. NixOS just always seemed very interesting, but i don’t want to run it on my daily machine.
Agreed, but I found getting NixOS the way I want it, to be super overwhelming, and documentation simply sucks. I’ve been thinking of forking ZaneyOS (Link: gitlab.com/Zaney/zaneyos) and basing my NixOS config on it. Otherwise, it’s just too much.
I tried it a while back, thought it would be good for my servers, but at the end of the day I found that it was a lot of learning for a very small benefit that could be achieved differently. Instead I focused on learning Ansible which also allowed me to write configs to deploy lots of services to my servers. I still want to learn Nix at some point, but I feel it’s a lot less important if you have an Ansible playbook that does the same thing and even more for any distro you might care to install.
I think the problem is that most people dive right in and go to NixOS which has its quirks as a linux OS (see FHS). The Nix language is great at building and moving source code between computers, really any big collection of binaries. If you don’t do that, try just using the nix-shell command to instantly run a piece of software without installing it. You can write a shell.nix file to hop into and out of an environment with whatever software you need. Once you can write a couple .nix files then move onto NixOS; which after all is just a big collection of binaries.
My drive to nix was so I could simply manage what packages I had installed with a text file. If I removed something from the file, I expect it to be uninstalled. I never found a tool/wrapper for apt to do this.
If you want to start with nixos, I would take whatever distro you are on and install nix and then home manager. Then, you can slowly migrate your user configuration over without starting from scratch. That worked really well for me going from ubuntu to nixos.
I feel like this could be abused by a bad actor by recreating instances in several ways:
Use the “dead” accounts that are still mods on communities on other instances.
Sneakily monitor user behavior (like votes etc.) without looking out of place.
Impersonate users.
I feel like it would be a good idea to start a list of the domains of dead instances and add them to a blocklist until the original people start using them again.
EDIT: This doesn’t seem like a real problem due to key signing.
This is just the domain name, not the instance itself. If the instance is offline the moderator accounts will be inaccessible even if the domain name is sold.
Yes, but what if someone just creates a new instance and adds previous accounts. How do other instances know that the running instance has changed and didn’t just go offline if it’s registered on the original domain?
I would hope there’s some kind of key signing mechanism to prove it’s the same instance and not just someone else who’s running another on the same domain.
Yeah, I first thought it was optional and was pleasently surprised when I found out Lemmy implements it, but I’m not quite sure if other software properly implement it either.
It depends on what you’re buying. For me.it’s not as much about the review its more about the product info.and price. For books or eletronics online is better because you don’t need to see the product as much as you need technical.information.
For Clothes, perfume, fresh food etc I prefer to go to a store since it’s important to see it. Clothes are always a problem when they don’t fit and if I’m goingo to have to return it (if it doesn’t fit) it’s just faster to go to a store.
Sometimes prices are a thing too, it can be a lot cheaper online and unless you’re rich this does make a difference

Just a word of caution - I have found some retailers like Amazon and Target to sometimes be more expensive than local stores. Things like kitchen and bathroom items in particular.
The human population isn’t homogenous. Some regions and cultures have a lot more children per woman than others. So some demographics will experience population decline and others will continue growing. Overall, the world population may go into decline, but we are a very long way away from anything resembling extinction.
