the thing with NixOS is there’s really no right or wrong way to configure your system. I know a guy that just straight up has a single configuration file and then just uses comma for everything. like practically nothing is installed. when he uses firefox its “, firefox” in a terminal. he likes it.

going the Dendtritic Approach.

I recently changed my nixos configs to this approach. Takes a bit to remember where I put everything and what modules things are in but in the long term it makes things easier to manage. Also makes things easier if I need to turn modules on or off for whatever reason.

That being said does take a bit of work to get everything set up but in the long run it’s worth it.

In Canada the government was providing something like close to $3000 per person during the pandemic if they had lost their job or were unable to work due to covid on the condition you pay it back. many people ripped off the program, many people didn’t pay it back, government has kinda been mute on the whole thing since then. Guy I knew got it twice and could argue he didn’t need it (he was a POS). never paid it back, didn’t hear a peep from the government and still hasn’t. continues to pay his taxes annnnnnd nothing, no one has ever come calling to collect.

Another thing is during the pandemic we were putting homeless individuals in hotel rooms for months on end. we paid for it. we “suddenly” were able to find them housing. People were working from home remember that? nothing collapsed, companies continued doing well. Then suddenly the pandemic ends and now for whatever reason we no longer have housing for the homeless, we can no longer put them in those hotel rooms, and we’re forcing people to return to work. We no longer have money for anything?

it’s not that we didn’t learn anything, the people sure as fuck did learn something, It’s just that there’s more money to be made by the powers that be going back to the “old ways”.

EVE Online. still after all these years (23) it’s still a beautiful game that I god damn am still addicted to.

I know a guy that has a @linux.com email address. And yes putting that email address on his CV and Linkedin has resulted in him getting emails daily from companies asking if he’d be interested in a position or interview. He’s even had people just straight up offer him a job because of it.

Note though he’s a web developer and pretty much all the jobs offered or interviews etc are for positions out of his skillset i.e. system admin, server manager, IT, data analyst, etc. because they all see the linux part and figure he can run a server or something.
