  • Unironically, I don’t get how anyone lives with something like Arch.

    Do you guys have to reinstall the OS every few months? How do you deal with the accumulation of crap and weird settings over years?

    I tried Fedora and I found even that was annoying because you’ve got 50 different serviced and servicectl things to manage, which all have their own implicitly managed state, and some require committing changes through custom CLIs to update them (I have more than once forgot to push my boot settings — whatever that’s called, I’m a noob and was following guides).

    I don’t think I can go back from NixOS and immutable distros. I really like that it’s hard to forget my firewall has an open port for service xyz, because the port is defined in a nix file with the service configuration.

    I’m not saying the arch way or standard Linux way is wrong, not at all. It’s just incredibly not something I enjoy and it makes me feel not confident about the state of my computer.






  • I watched season 1 of Hell’s Kitchen, and the difference in how cooking was treated then vs the show now is insane.

    The whole time Ramsay is trying to get these people to improve, “no more messy Jimmy, right”, and he’s kicking the asses of the professional chefs who should know better but are lazy.

    Now it’s just pure drama.

    Most cooking shows won’t teach you a thing about cooking these days. Even Ramsay’s 24 hours to hell and back skips 2-3 steps per dish while he’s teaching chefs how to cook them. It’s a real draw the rest of the owl vibe.
