I've done this before but I just eat the shell as I'm peeling it I don't store them separately.

I've been using Nix for a little more than a year, I don't think I've touched my configs in better than 6 months. I'm honestly not entirely certain what would constitute a dumpster fire in a Nix config

I've probably only modified 50 or 60 lines of the default configs.

I do have a folder full of shell.nix files when I need to do a special workflow, like I have one that kicks up wine and sets up mp3tag, another that sets up rust, another sets up Python, and one that sets up for yt-dlp. But I don't carry anything in my base configs that I don't use in a given week

Finamp is slowly getting there, still miles to go though...

No they're making a joke about the TSA saying they caught a woman the other day with 71 fireworks in her luggage. Turns out it was an open box of black cats. Yes they're illegal, yes she was wrong, But the image they release to the press had them laid out like a cocaine trafficking bust, when the actual fireworks in question were slightly more than glorified bang snaps.

They're quarterswede, 3/4 troll :)

I stopped listening to radio and spotify some time ago. I only pop out a few times a year and look for new stuff to add to my repo. I had heard this came out which is a bit unusual. New tracks don't make the news very often.

I expected it to be good because Cash is historically good. I expected it to be just another cover that I would like and respect but not like as much as the original.

The first time I heard it it was very strong, I didn't really shed any tears though. I knew Trent's history with the song, and I knew he put his experiences into that song.

I think it was when I read the piece the independent did on his cover before I realized the actual gravitas.

When cash recorded this, his wife was on her deathbed and he not far from it. You can almost feel him slipping away while he's singing it. It's the last prayer of a dying man.

That's some amazing work.

Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora or one of the offshoots like Mint or Pop.

As long as you don't go too far into the weeds with Arch, Silverblue or NixOS, You're probably going to have a pretty decent experience, as long as you don't dig too far under the hood too early most things that you're going to want to try are just going to work out of the gate.

Hurt was always a great track. But Cash picked it up and put a folk singers life of real pain behind it. In addition he picked it up and blessed it right squarely in front of the faces of the original nine inch nails fans that are starting to age, like you saying see what's coming. It almost made it personal.

Individual developers develop on Mac hardware. They do primary tests on Mac mobile devices.

For production and QA, our CI pipeline builds on a cluster of bare metal Mac Minis. Basic unit tests happen during the build. We deploy to mobile devices.

Mac doesn't make any server equipment anymore, We could technically run VMs on the minis. But they're not so expensive that we can't just have a cluster of them around. We even tried to do the hackintosh route with VMs. It was incredibly difficult to keep it stable, and every time we had to do a xcode update, It needed an OS update and it fucked over the hackintosh. I would have had to keep somebody on staff full-time just to keep the hackintosh VMs going.

They had terrific brightness. (At least until they started to wear out)

The resolution was a mixed bag. They couldn't handle the resolutions we have today, But when you were running 800 by 600 on a 1600x1200 they looked pretty crisp. It was a problem on LCDs before they got their pixel counts up because they were driven purpose built for a given resolution and anything else was a hack.

Nowadays 800 by 600 on a 4K screen looks pretty decent.

The biggest problem we're dealing with replacing CRTs with LCDs are the sharpness was crap so the content looked good soft. We have to throw shaders and all kinds of crazy stuff on ROMs to degrade the screen enough to make them look good. And then any light screen devices that use pixel scanning for location just don't work because newer technology doesn't work that way. The best in the light guns are going so far as to use camera sensors to detect location.

My company has a multi-platform product. I have to support the developers in the build systems. Dealing with the iOS side of the build equation is the bain of my existence. Xcode updates locked to OS revisions, key chains that magically corrupt themselves, hardware lock-in keeping me from running real servers. Hostile attitude towards virtual machines.

Apple could really do a lot to make it easier.
