Kind of interesting. One would think these are prime customers for futures contracts and as such, their cost would have been fixed months ago. I can't imagine the big airlines buy on the spot market.

I rather think this is a bit of a pretext to close otherwise economically unviable routes without losing slots.

But who knows, I'm not against airlines closing routes at all.

But in a totally non-gay way because they are very manly men, who are in fact not gay. Some say the most heterosexual a man can be

I don't think it was that channel linking them.

If you're an oil company: yes. If not: no.

What you're implying makes no sense.

The ships passing are not "NATO owned". They're most likely not even ships owned by the armed forces of NATO countries apart from the US. And even if they were attacked, this is outside of the territory of the NATO member state, which is a condition for triggering article 5.

Right?

Are these right wing politicians living in their own bubble or am I? Why would anyone want to be associated with the US administration in general and Vance in particular at this time? Who looks at this and thinks "oh, the venerable vice president of the United States endorses this guy, surely I'll give him my vote"?

There have been about 0 good news from the US in the last year. If I were a politician I'd distance myself from that trainwreck so hard

Well, technically, it's not broken, just slower

Well, it doesn't silently ignore files, it tells you if the work tree is dirty.

Though I've tripped over the different behaviors of the repl vs the rest of the tools myself in funny ways

That however was before "stone ages" threat

Firefox always has tabs, in fact even the Mozilla Application Suite had them since 2001. Gmail came out 3 years later. Though I would have thought that there were about 5 years between these events

That swiping keyboard typo happens way more often to me than it doesn't

I totally know how NATO works (am former soldier from a NATO country), I know Mario is a defensive treaty and even if you're a member it doesn't mean other member nations have to cooperate with you outside of NATO related activities. So yes no NATO members need to join, and no NATO member has to support the US (even if just by allowing to use the air space) outside of NATO missions it exercises.

 

A follow-up to my post last week, the title is a bit unfortunate but it is what it is.

Anyhow, here I set up a repository that defines one host using the dendritic approach in a very simple manner (plus another one before to introduce how flake-parts does this). It uses the package and service defined in another repository in Part 1, also linked in this post.

It only goes into the basics and is already long enough in my opinion, but I tried to write everything down to start with a clean base from scratch. There is a lot of room for improvement, but it should get the basics right.

 

Currently in the process of writing this, but I felt like the current progress already has some stuff worth sharing. I'd be happy for some feedback and possible improvements!

 
 

In this post, I go into hopefully better output parsing.

I just upgraded my NixOS machine after switching to nixos-unstable-small because I think unstable will take some time to update as getting 24.11 out has the highest priority.

Anyhow, two of my packages stopped me from applying a new configuration, as some packages have been changed when reorganizing into pkgs/by-name. I fixed it and wanted to share as this will hit others running unstable with these packages as soon as hydra catches up.

nerdfonts (now nerd-fonts)

Package was renamed, which it will state on evaluation; individual fonts are now part of the nerd-fonts attribute. I had Source Code Pro in there, there was some kind of mapping, which looked kind of like in https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Fonts#Installing_specific_fonts_from_nerdfonts – the new way is now to just use nerd-fonts.sauce-code-pro directly, you can probably do something like ++ with nerd-fonts; [ sauce-code-pro other-fonts ] to add multiple nerd-fonts to your fonts list, but I haven't tested this.

RetroArch

Until now, cores were specified as in https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/RetroArch, however override doesn't seem to work anymore. There's now the withCores attribute / function that expects a function that returns a list. The easiest way I found to just specify a fixed list of cores was (retroarch.withCores (_: with libretro; [ snes9x mupen64plus fbneo flycast ])). Maybe other options are easier / cleaner.

Word of warning on compiling nixos-unstable-small

There are currently a lot of packages to be built if you change into that channel (I'm using flakes, but you get my point). Due to the default value of auto for nix.settings.max-jobs, this meant nix tried to build 24 derivations at the same time. This is fine if these are just downloaded from hydra, but if you try to build 24 big derivations at the same time, each trying to use 24 threads because nix.settings.cores is also 0 by default, which means all threads, build processes quickly ate all of my 32GB of RAM so that the OOM killer had to intervene, however often too late with my system dying. I recommend to set nix.settings.max-jobs to something more reasonable before attempting this (I used 1).
