Oh, nice! And there’s even a nixpg!

Grew up on it. My dad set up a Ubuntu 4.10 PC for my brother and I when we were 3/5 (no internet, obv), and it stuck.
Used Windows for a brief time in highschool to be able to play online with friends.
Went right back to Linux when going to university. Will never change back, both for ideological reasons and because Linux is just better.
Next step: NixOS on a phone


A substantial amount of open source devs will probably just give up working on their projects if they can no longer be installed by most users.
That will also affect Graphene users.
Graphene will also only work until Google one day says “You know what… No!” and stops allowing it on their (new) hardware. I don’t think that’s far in the future.
Alright, thanks for the info, that’s good to know. Trying to make the jump becomes more enticing every day.
Thanks for sharing! Sounds about as good/bad as I was expecting. How’s the browser experience? Also, are there any features/tweaks you are aware of that you could not get through Nix, that the more “commercial” Linux device manufacturers have developed for their devices?
Holy crap! A NixOS-on-phone user in the wild! You are rocking my dream setup. How’s your experience been with it? Is it remotely daily drivable for phone things?
If this had been “people should have the right to kill thieves / cyclists / trespassers / basically anything else”, I’d have said “right”, but OP’s statement requires the acknowledgement that women are people and rape is wrong, so… left, but maybe my bar has just become far too low.

I honestly don’t get the hostility, wtf.
If you prefer something other than Jellyfin, good for you.


Sorry, but the person above made a blanket statement that Jellyfin sucks for music streaming.
Alas, it does not; example: me, guffaw


Have zero problems with Jellyfin as the Server, Symfonium as the client on mobile / music assistant for streaming to sonos at home


How exactly does Free, non-open-source software prevent that?
Sauerkraut and mashed potatoes were my absolutely favorite dish as a kid.
Am German though, so…
I’m lawful evil. It’s so great. I can keep my head straight instead of always having it turned.


Using a docker container provides you with the exact amount of extra protection as using a VM: zilch.
Only advantage is you can use other people’s config easily.


I hate the HA implementation of voice assist. It’s either “what you are saying has to be recognized as EXACTLY this string” or it’s “try an LLM lol”.
Hie the fuck do you influence if your voice recognition model spits out “To-do, ToDo, todo, To-Do, To Do or to do”? Because if you try to add an item to the ToDo list, then this difference matters to HA.
The answer is: by matching what is recognized against all known entities, and picking (with a threshold) the closest match. But that’s just not possible currently.


Ah, too bad! But thanks, that’s good to know.
Not gonna lie, I’m a tiny bit jealous of you 😄 It’s gotten to a point where having to use Android is a constant, low-intensity source of stress just because of how closed and privacy-unfriendly it has become.


Thanks, that is a very kind offer!
The secific app is xdrip+. But it’s probably not possible to test it out, because starting/working is not the issue, the issue is making sure that it has a 100%% stable background connection with my blood glucose sensor, recovers from failures, restarts in the background on closure,… Eventually, I’ll get my hands on a linux handheld and try for myself :)
That being said - how’s your experience with Sailfish been so far?
(not the poster above)
btrfs is the only fs I’ve ever seen people have issues with, so I didn’t even want to try (though, I do recognize that that is just personal bias). I also don’t need the backup/rollback features.
Happily running xfs.
