Would cross-linking to documentation of similar options/the docbook for the appropriate module from search.nixos.org be significantly helpful?

@dunkelstern

Ah, you don't trust the terminals. I see.

The only way to avoid using Kerberos that I know of is something that requires quite a bit of scripting: set up a VPN that clients connect to only when a user logs in (and that gives different internal IPs depending on which user authenticated themselves) and use IP-based restrictions in nfs exports. (Alternatively replace VPN with IPSec and dynamic, logged-in-user-dependent, additional IPs.)

@dunkelstern

I generally go to the source file and:

- look for other options defined in the same file and their description strings,
- look around for the xml file that contains the module's documentation,
- actually look at implementation if these two fail (which often doesn't really require much comprehension of the language, because often what you want to see is what gets interpolated into the same config file).

@dunkelstern

What does "does not with with NFS" mean? You can use LDAP as source of user information (using nsswitch.conf) and then UIDs will be consistent across all the machines so configured. What else does NFS require?

@tao I found it somewhat interesting that there's a very natural way to crotchet a Mobius strip (not by sewing it together from a rectangle), where if you keep crotcheting you will keep adding more width by going around its only edge. I wonder how many people have their first encounter with the concept by failing to correctly crotchet a tube (i.e. side surface of a cylinder).

@TarkabarkaHolgy why is there sawdust on the floor?

Note that this transition is at the very least in a very different stage in at least parts of Europe (and in some ways fought against), so that might serve as a comparison.

Now that I think of it, I wonder why there is no way to report a skimmer _via the onscreen UI_.

@isomer do you know if the problem is not an individual defect?

@dunkelstern

Do you know of search.nixos.org? My procedure for determining how to make some change to my configuration is to go there, find some related option, and look at the documentation of the module this option is in. In more complicated situations (e.g. audio configuration, where there are multiple things that expose the same interface towards applications) I have to go search the nixos wiki and until now that always sufficed.

Where was the jab at Rogan? ^^*

@grrrr_shark IIUC this means that they are not cached on your instance for some reason (either on purpose, or because something failed to happen).

@freemo @ClaraListensprechen4

Happens to me once every so often (2 weeks?), but I haven't seen any correlation with videoful posts. I thought that this is caused by me having 5+ tabs of qoto open that I forgot about and all of them polling for new posts, so I didn't try actually investigating.

@ameliatoami Jak go znaleźliście?

@omgubuntu

One can also ~easily do something similar to what flatpak would do by invoking bbwrap in a similar fashion. That allows people who want only some of facets of flatpak to get them, without resenting that they have to use the others.

(I don't know whether the same's the case with snap, though.)

@ieure Failed, one that fell out of favor, or both?
