The cause is a 502 from lemmy.

Jerboa’s handling of that error is also terrible but that’s another issue.

No, the server gave a 502 instead of a JSON and Jerboa doesn’t handle that gracefully.

Atemu , 1 year ago to linux in Is Systemd that bad afterall?

Systemd (PID1) is not your boot manager, network deamon, resolver, user manager or ntp service.

Those are entirely independent deamons that happen to be developed under the systemd project umbrella but can be exchanged for equivalent components.
Tkey are gully optional.

In many cases, the systemd project’s one is one of the best choices though, especially when used with other systemd-developed components.
In some cases, there is no other viable choice because the systemd-* is just better and nobody wants to deal with something worse.

Certainly not. Nothing should write to /usr/bin except for the package manager in FHS distros and some distros binary directories aren’t writable at all.

Atemu , 1 year ago to linux in Why many people are switching to NixOS ?

To get it out of the way first: There are no financial issues. There are more than enough funds to continue operations as they are for a sufficiently long time.

What is actually happening is that a long time sponsor has indicated that they (understandably) no longer want to foot the huge bill of hosting the entire archive of binary caches ($9000/mo). Finding a more sustainable setup is what the community is currently concerned with.
There is no risk of operations shutting down any time soon, the NixOS foundation has funds set aside to continue even this unsustainable setup for at least a year. We just want to be more efficient with our and others resources going forwards.

That’s what all this you might have heard of is about.

Btw, even if the binary cache were to go poof, we don’t technically need it. NixOS is a source-based distro like Gentoo and source hosting is not a concern. The binary cache is immensely helpful though which is why we’d obviously prefer to keep it.

Note that there’s both the rolling unstable channel and a bi-annual stable release channel.

Atemu OP , 1 year ago to android in How to debug broken compass?

Not 100% sure this device even has a chip. SatStat doesn’t show values for orientation; only for magnetic field which I heard Is used to emulate a compass but I’m really not sure.

Atemu , 1 year ago to nostupidquestions in Why do people prefer cars over public transport?

Do you use a car sharing service or do you own a car? Because it sounds like with your usage pattern, the former might be cheaper.

Atemu , 1 year ago to asklemmy in For everyone new to Lemmy, how are you finding the experience?

No, nothing to be seen unfortunately.

Atemu , 1 year ago to linux in What distro(s) do you use?

I tried NixOS for a bit but it was very inconvenient in comparison and I felt like it was impossible to tinker with or understand if you weren’t good at Haskell.

You don’t need any haskell knowledge to configure a NixOS system. It’s mostly just researching the right options and setting the desired values. Pretty simple. For more advanced stuff like custom modules, functional programming experience helps a lot but that’s not necessary for installing packages and enabling services.

Documentation isn’t great but what it does have going for it is that it’s right in the place where you configure it: In the NixOS options. Wanna configure systemd-boot? Just search for it: search.nixos.org/options?channel=23.05&size=50&so…
It’s self-documenting.
