The Scrolls of Nix (lemmy.ml)
 

A big part of why nix documentation is sub par. The essential tomes of nix - the nix manual, the nixos manual, the nixos options, the nixpkgs manual - each of these documents is just one long page.

They are the digital equivalent of scrolls, rather than books (codices?).

Rather than having a page number (or page link), one must unroll the scroll to the point of interest. One cannot simply flip between two points of interest. One cannot have bookmarks, or refer to page numbers. Ctrl-F is helpful, sure, but not great.

For instance, I was just looking for the documentation of the systemd.services. options. Its near the end of the colossally long scroll known as the Nixos Options Appendix. Ctrl-F on systemctl.services will get one million hits on all the myriad services nixos offers before you finally get to the relevant section. And if you do find that section (with single pixel movements of the scroll bar) and then ctrl-f, woe betide you, you're now at the top of the document and your place is lost!

For me it just made it hurt weird, it didn't make it not hurt. Maybe one of those things where not everyone responds the same way.

Yeah this is a good option - too much ibuprofen is harmful, as is too much acetaminophen. But you can take both together and get double the pain relief.

Keepassxc works fairly well for me, with a few quirks. Don't know how it is on apple though.

Travis and Trevor Stuart playing an original G tune "Henry King's Reel". Frequently called at my local jams. Travis is playing a two finger banjo style instead of the usual clawhammer.

So what did it take for you to go to Linux? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

BeOS went under.

Ed: I was a huge apple fan, bought an apple clone from Power Computing. Then Apple revoked the licensing that allowed all the apple clone companies to exist. That's when I went to BeOS which would run on my clone, and got a multicore intel machine too. When BeOS went under I tried Suse. Had kind of a sucky UI in my opinion, but I hung in there with linux as an alternative to windows and went Ubuntu/Debian/Arch/Nixos and I'm still on nixos now. Its pretty much my exclusive OS since I quit my job that required windows 5 or 6 years ago.

It ain't easy listening, but there's nothing else like it. Pretty interesting how it was made.

Do you expect your dog to explode with the force of 400 pounds of TNT?

Cool ragtimey tune, with train activity in the background. The 1929 original from Prince Albert Hunt’s Texas Ramblers. "Feel like a jug of molasses"

A lopey John Salyer tune I've been learning the last few days.

That'd be Judy Hyman and Jeff Klaus of the Horseflies (fiddle & guitar), John Herrman (banjo) of Chicken Train, and a young Gus Tritsch on fiddle. Lately Gus has been touring with Jake Blount.
