It took me years of begging and pleading with my wife to start using signal, the setup for which is way easier than matrix. I don't think I'd be able to get my wife to use matrix due to the increased complexity.
I have secure comms with my wife (albeit centralized) and that's what's important to me.
It sounds dumb but I didn't want to be rude.
I once took an overnight flight from the west coast to the east coast. The flight wasn't very crowded and I intentionally picked a seat away from other ocupied seats.
I get on the plane, as I'm warking back to my seat I notice there's entire rows that are empty. So instead of picking a seat in an open row, and this. fucking. guy. picked the window seat closest to my aisle seat, and he talked for most of the flight. In hindsight I should have just sat somewhere else when I first noticed him.
I did not know you could archive a link like that. Thanks for the pro tip!
One hand? Pfft. I just mushroom stamp it out.
The solution to the root cause of this (asshole politicians) and all the other fucked up shit going on, is to vote. Vote for a candidate that won't do shit like this. If you want to do extra, donate time or some money to a candidate you like.
I also really like the tagging feature.
guix pull . . . . guix upgrade
I jpst googled it and got these steps (haven't tried them yet):
To set up a Nix service in your Guix configuration, you need to enable the service in your configuration file, typically located at /etc/config.scm. You can refer to the Guix documentation for detailed instructions on how to properly configure and manage services.
Step one: Open config file
Step 2: Enable nix service
(use-modules (gnu))
(operating-system
...
(services
(cons* (service
(nix-service)
(nix-configuration
(nix-channel "https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-23.11"))
)
...)))
Save the file and reconfigure:
sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
After reconfiguration, verify that the Nix service is running correctly by checking the service status:
systemctl status nix-daemon
Additional Notes:
Ensure you are using the latest stable version of Guix to avoid compatibility issues.
If you encounter any problems, consult the Guix documentation for troubleshooting tips.
The Nix service allows you to use Nix packages alongside Guix, providing flexibility in package management.
Hope this helps!
No I didn't do anything in my config. You can though and it seems like a better less kludgy way to do it, I haven't done that yet. If I ever figure it out I'll let you know.
Yeah I think these luddite people would be better served if they took a more free/libre (gnu, fsf) approach to computing vs rejecting technology wholesale.
