Hi friends! Since cybre.space is shutting down, I'm moving over to @eval :-)
Please excuse minor faffing during all the migration and stuff, data export from here is taking a bit; and see you on the other side~
~~anyone want to hire me to just putter about on personal projects for a decent six-figure salary so I don't have to work in capitalism~~
Reduce, reuse, recycle.
But:
- In order to reduce, there need to be proper infrastructure to compensate for the thing being reduced;
- In order to reuse, things need to be durable and easily maintainable, modularly upgradable and repairable;
- If you go to the recycle step ignoring the first two, you've already lost.
As we see, just "changing consumer habits" doesn't work.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
In 2013, someone requested a guided/graphical installer for #NixOS for the first time. There have been at least 6 attempts so far that all failed. Now, 9 years later, we have finally merged an implementation based on the #Calamares framework. It will be part of the stable release at the end of this month and is already available in unstable.
