Three years of ephemeral NixOS: my experience resetting root on every boot

Holly Hill - Long run: 12.06 miles, 00:09:43 average pace, 01:57:15 duration
did not sleep last night. the bed was not too comfortable and i was burning up for some reason. the run went well. it was a decent temperature and i kept the pace pretty moderate (mainly around a 9:30). hit two bridges going back-and-forth between daytona. i did walk a bit around mile ten to recollect myself but a good run nonetheless.

my daughter got first all-around in her gymnastic meet and did really well on all events, too!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Open-plan offices are just a giant mistake. I’ve never seen a single working one where people can actually concentrate. Except when I was the first one around in the morning.

Yes everything fine from it: gopher://shibboleths.org/5/win31/irc.zip Screen of IRC client for Win311: https://dropmefiles.com/DD4t9

While I now have a somewhat working fix for it in yarnd (https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/pulls/1232), I also have the feeling that I should fix literal formatting in lextwt as well. This also uncovered more bugs I believe: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/go-lextwt/pulls/28

But then there is also the question why the textarea is populated with @<url> in the first place rather than @<nick url> or yarnd’s own @nick@domain/@nick syntax. It indeed has to do something with whether I follow the mentioned feed or not.

Anyway, something to investigate for future Lyse or maybe @prologic@twtxt.net and/or @xuu@txt.sour.is. G’night!

@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net I can reproduce this locally, too. But it doesn’t matter if I follow the feed or not. With JS enabled, hitting “Reply” opens a textarea with @<url>. Submitting this writes @<domain url> instead of @<nick url> in the feed.

However, when I have JS disabled, “Reply” jumps to the top of the page, but the the textarea is at the bottom. So, after scrolling down, the textarea is not filled with anything. Which is expected I reckon. Entering @nick@domain or just @nick resolves to the correct @<nick url> in the feed.

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de I sadly agree.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So true! Either I’m hanging around with my direct teammates socializing in person in a meeting room or some other workmates are making so much noise in the open-plan office that I cannot concentrate at all. In any case, completely unproductive. :-D Luckily, I very rarely have to go to the office.

UnixWare in 2025: still actively developed and maintained
It kind of goes by under the radar, but aside from HP-UX, Solaris, and AIX, there’s another traditional classic UNIX still in active development today: UnixWare (and its sibling, OpenServer). Owned and developed by Xinuos, UnixWare and other related code and IP was acquired by them when the much-hated SCO crashed and burned about 15 years ago or so, and they’ve been maintaining it ever since. About a year ago, Xinuos … ⌘ Read more
