Sorry, I used all of it for my sand castle

Firefox and Chromium have had private browsing for ages and both are open source

I have an endless list of configuration changes to make, but security hardening with nix-mineral and impermanence, and using den to organize if you have a lot of hosts/users are options I recommend. Also if you have a spare laptop lying around, I use that for hacky NixOS experimentation. I also want to switch my homelab to NixOS + MicroVM.nix + OpenTofu, and possibly Kubernetes.

Kimi K3 works through OpenCode/Pi. It just got added to OpenCode Go but it’s practically unusable due to the cost (but they might negotiate it down soon), right now you have to use it through OpenRouter or official API, or Kimi Code subscription

Kimi K3 looks insane but it’s also very expensive right now, hopefully that changes or I don’t see myself using it over the previous models

I’m ubuntu show you some of the dumbest decisions a distro has made

The security focused Linux distros use Chrony

I would have guessed BTRFS running out of inodes again lol

IDK what exactly your goal is, but with distros like Arch, background services are opt-in and there’s documentation on fine-tuning the power settings.

In school they told me it was 15%

In my experience Nix on macOS breaks like every time I update the OS

I would recommendation installing Asahi ASAP though in case Apple breaks it like they did with OS 27.

Did something happen? I was planning on reinstalling it with NixOS soon

Running Linux on a Macbook is also an option (what I currently do, you need a supported model though), and it would probably have better battery life than an rtx4060 laptop and you get the nice touchpad/screen/aesthetics. Alternatively, you can consider getting a different less power hungry laptop, and in both cases you can use a charging bank if you have to.

Not Arch or NixOS lol

Can’t you use homebrew?

choosing a distro with specialised security hardening (immutable systems, Nix, Qubes, Bazzite) does matter; most of these will make new users unhappy or even question their sanity.

Out of curiosity, as someone who’s never used Bazzite/other uBlue/SilverBlue/etc, what makes it difficult for new users? I definitely agree with Nix and Qubes though (and SecureBlue to some extent).

Username checks out

I got a Plex Lifetime Pass mainly for Plexamp + Tidal, but then they removed the Tidal integration. Roon lifetime pass is similar to what Plex is now, which is basically the only other option for this that exists right now.

I have an HP Envy from several years ago and the BIOS is super locked down so I can’t enable secure boot on it. With my previous HP laptop, I had a ton of trouble getting the WiFi to work

Helix + my Nix-based configuration tool
