2021-03-23 at 6 PM UTCwindows xp forever baby, well kind of. i had to upgrade to 7 because finding drivers became a pain in the fucking ass and reaching the point of needing to pay a programmer to make the latest hardware work on it, so i dragged my inner child kicking and screaming into our new apartment unit 7.
now im back to the same situation as before, except this time its less feasible to hold on OR to upgrade since 10 is a piece of NSA shit. hopefully sophie will be able to drag this now grown man into the world of linux. -

I'll drag you into Linux and intimately acquaint you with all it's mysteries and secret places, you need but ask and i will unleash a preponderance of ancient wisdom, so profound and dark that once you grasp it, the Gods themselves will tremble. -

2021-04-18 at 2:29 AM UTCI’ve used OSX at every programming job I’ve had and just got used to it, use it for personal stuff too, so it’s definitely what I’m most “comfortable” with in terms of an every day driver. Servers have always been some flavor of linux, I usually go for Debian but honestly you could switch the distro out under me for any of the popular options and as long as it has my vimrc it would be a while before I realized anything had changed.
Nix looks cool though, it’s the one distro that has enough of a “thing” that I’d spend time trying something new. Linux package management kinda sux in light what modern language package managers can do these days. NPM is a shitshow of the highest caliber but one thing it got right is that “system” libraries are stupid, disk space is cheap as dirt, and any sane person would happily trade some page sharing to be able to have two versions of glibc on the system and the universe not imploding as a result.
I’m so far behind on Debian updates for NiS I don’t think I have an upgrade path anymore. I think I’m going to take a weekend at some point and ditch Debian and my shitty ssh script for nix and nixops. Try it out in “production” and see if it really delivers what it promises. -

I also really appreciate the approach of "yababi is a binary you call, rig up your own keybinds with skhdrc". The separation of window management and the entrypoints to window management feels very unix-y in an elegant way. -
