Screw sleep tracking apps, I track my sleep using DNS logs 😅

Pro tip: Instead of flossing just eat popcorn every day!

@gamehawk since responding to bad actors now is a good reason to suspend someone and call them a bad actor I guess that means you are now just as guilty as me for responding to me.

By your own standards you should be suspended and kicked from your own server!

Ya know, or maybe it doesnt make you a bad person just because you reply to someone (assuming you arent condoning anything bad they say or do)

But yea, god forbid you apply your own standard to yourself huh?

@freemo I'm using it. From a technical point of view, it seems to me a very robust technology, but from a philosophical point of view, if you are serious at DevOps, probably there are better solutions.

If you have some legacy service that had to run inside a normal Linux distribution, then LXD allows to create a guest distro that is very light, because behind the hood it runs as a Linux container of the host distro. So you have a very cheap distro to use for: testing porpouses; local and disposable environments to give to students; legacy services administered in the old way.

Obviously if a service is important and it requires some resources, it is better to install on a distinct VM, instead of using LXD.

A modern DevOp environment, built from scratch, I doubt that it should follow the LXD approach. It is mainly for services that for some reasons are managed in the old way, and it does not make sense to host on distinct VMs. So a very narrow use case.

@freemo I've been putting off doing a deep dive into #NixOS for almost a year now. I have a bunch of sources saved up, but did you find anything in particular helpful to get started/make a serious go of it?

#Linux #DIY

I am fairly familiar with but have never really used ... Is it worth learning? Anyone have any specific use case examples that might convincce me of its value to learn?

Been on nixos for a few weeks now, and have about 6 computers migrated to it all running off a single universal configuration...

I have to say, this is the most impressed I have ever been by a distro, this is a game changer!

The Department of Energy says they think SARS-CoV-2 escaped from a lab.

I think I'm going to wait to hear what the Postal Department says about it before I make up my mind...

@freemo @Pat So many almonds!!! On a similar note of dangerous amounts of healthy foods, I made the mistake of throwing a bunch of dried kombu/kelp into a soup (not properly preparing it - who knew there were rules?) and then had symptoms of mild iodine toxicity. I didn't even realize that was a risk until I started reading up on it later:

So, watch out for soy milk and seaweed!

I just discovered someone on QOTO is possessed by an owl!!

Past few nights ive been eating about 500 grams of spinach with dinner and 250g skinless chicken... At this rate im gonna overdose on vitamin K...

Actually a correction, in that measurement the UK was counted as metric.. which is only partly true.. So the number for imperial system is a bit higher in reality.

Interesting fact of the day, about 78% of the worlds GDP is produced in countries using the metric system. 22% of the worlds GDP is produced by the imperial system (the system the USA and UK and a few other countries use).

@freemo You forgot the best part!

Supply it with an area for local conditions. In my case, I use an airport code.
