Maybe I'm talking weird, but how often do you refer to yourself by any non-reflexive pronoun?

Pff, I carve my own CPUs from compacted sand, like real men.

I'm a software developer. A few years ago, we were all sent mail by a sketchy looking company that had our company's logo slapped onto the header in the sloppiest way possible and wanted us to click on a link to a "mandatory Cybersecurity training".

Obviously everyone ignored it. Which is exactly what you'd want people to do. Turns out, it was real and not a scam, just incompetence.

What is the battery situation like?

The older, cheaper devices are obviously, well, older and thus the battery degraded a bit. Linux isn't exactly optimized for these things either. I would expect less than great battery life.

Man, that table is wild. South Africa has a lower life expectancy than Afghanistan and in Russia women live 12 years longer than men? Bonkers.

Hey, that's not fair! Most of them were not killed, but only mutilated too much to be ableish-bodied enough for the russian army!

(Serious note: this is the casuality number, that includes deaths, but also soldiers with wounds that put them out of service, like lost legs)

I didn't know NixOS has its own chroot.

I'm "chrooted" into the system, howver, user-mapping seems not to work currently. Logrotate fails to build because of a missing user ID.

EDIT: I commented out all the "advanced" features and had to add some flags.

services.logrotate.checkConfig = false; in the config solved the "user or group not found" issue and add NIXOS_SWITCH_USE_DIRTY_ENV=1to nixos-rebuild (https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Change_root).

Now it seems to work and I could piece by piece reactive all the deactivated parts.
