What's the best argument against taking the declarative distro pill?
>>107707581>the documentation is rubbish and sometimes even out of date.It's not though, Guix has better documentation than almost any distro other than Arch
Trisquel and Parabola and SPECIALLY hyperbola are much better fully free distros.
>>107707861Those are all dead
What do guix and nix do that’s actually useful for daily usage that can’t be gotten with Ansible plus a normal distro and snapshots?
>>107707419>>107708715How do you define a derivation in ansible that can build a piece of code and install it? Ansible isn't even close to anything like NixOS and doesn't even have comparable concepts or abstractions.

>using a torrent site>find the torrent I want>click on it>add it>uTorrent has an update!>"cool! Maybe this will make my download better">hit upgrade>uTorrent closes>this shit pops up, attempting to install spyware on my PCWelp, I'm done with uTorrent now. It crossed the line.What should I use instead?
>>107708187Youwerebaited
Why do anons insist on using a particular version of uTorrent that is old enough to vote over simply installing qbitorrent?
>>107708714because it's not tranny/jeet coded software
>>107708722What the fuck are you talking about
>>107708734Old enough for certified no tranny or jeets worked on the code, therefore better than the slop made these days
So I just need to do basic tasks like listen to music, stream video, and browse basic websites. Is installing windows 2000 a bad idea? How fucked will I be for drivers?The reason I want to do this for one, it's botnet free, and two it was the most streamlined of classic operating systems. I really have a boner for Windows 2000 and I just want to know if it's even moderately viable to use in this day and age.
>>107706209Then at least go full meme and use Haiku or something. Using an outdated version of Windows because you hate change is more autistic than any freetard OS.

The steam frame is gonna cost like 700 dollars maybe more with the RAM issues going isn't it? The Quest 3 was being sold for 407+100 dollar in Amazon credit a week ago.
>>107693887Sounds like an excellent price, here’s hoping.
>>107693887>$700>steam index was $999um yeah I think its safe to assume the more advanced VR headset that runs your games locally is gonna cost atleast AS MUCH as version 1
>>107707411The index had lots of custom hardware like the base stations and had good build qualityThe Frame is much more cost optimized, the displays and lenses cost less to make then back then, the controllers are simpler. The additional cost comes from the CPU, RAM and UFS chip which wouldn't cost a lot if there was no bullshit market manipulation by openai
>>107707669you would be right, if there was a competitor example that costs $700-800 (other than the quest pro for $1000).But ignoring the quest, the pimax crystal light is wired, has no battery, no OS, no passthrough, or eye tracking, similar resolution and display (but with aspheric lenses, no pancake), and it costs $860 with controllers (but the controllers are known to be worse than steam VR's tracking, and you could buy just the headset for $600 and spend a fortune on a SteamVR adapter + controllers + base stations).I think you are underestimating how much money meta makes from kids who trick their parents to buy a $300 VR headset, for the headset to have a $10 monthly subscription so after 1 year it becomes a $440 headset.

Is C still wortlh learning nowadays?I'm studying CS but my uni's program only teaches you Python, Java and C++ so i figured I'd try to start learning C on my own over the winter break.I already have a decent grasp on Python and Java and have always heard all the real enlightened big brain neProidians learn C to understand how a computer works beter since it's "close to the metal" unlike Python and Java but even starting out with Learn C the Hard Way, Zed Shaw says that C is a fundamentally flawed language and has many errors that later languages fixed into non-issues.Should I keep going
>>107707988You're wasting your time. Rustrannies believe if you write C, for any reason, you are stupid and evil.
>>107702118Yes, you should learn C, despite its flaws, because it's the lingua franca of programming.
>>107707914So, ditch all the O'Reilly books and learn the Nand2Tetris way?
>>107702118in my uni they make you study assembly and CI think studying low-level programming is the play in this day and age, you will likely be harder to replace by jeets/AI
If you don't want to write anything useful, learn and use C. If you want to make a real program that does something, learn Rust or C++ instead. Here's how learning C will go:You'll convince yourself that you're some badass programmer because you defined your own container types.You'll write useless preprocessor abuse and stupid shit like safe_free(void*) or whatever. Then eventually you'll realize you wish you had a real fucking programming language with generics, destructors, basic ergonomic data structures and a type system that doesn't completely suck and a standard library that can use real strings instead of your faggy struct pascal_string {...} that every C homo has written.

>>107707418Kanidm is likely a better fit if you want to delegate authentication to another service (with single sign-on as an added bonus). Piss easy to set up; single binary with no external service dependencies, can be deployed in a container also. Easiest solution of all is still just tailscale with headscale though, but if you really wanna avoid VPNs, OpenID Connect with kanidm is probably the simplest you'll get. Really recommend reading their documentation about what they do and can do for you.
>>107706943How many machines before I should look into using something like ansible? I've got 5 vm's plus a backup server.

>>107705881I understood calculus a lot better after taking discrete calculus.As far as I know, they never released the latex fonts for this book, it looks better than the original latex stuff (which I’m now tired of)
>>107708180One should not try reading that book without reading Dedekind first. Some set theory knowledge is needed as well (like the first 15 or so chapters Halmos' short book). And it will be hard reading a definition-theorem-proof book without the familiarity you would learn with a serious linear algebra course, synthetic geometry or one those transition to proofs books. People back in Landau times still learned from Euclid's Elements

>>107708440no, thank the godsif i did i think i would have found a gun
>>107708374Does everyone get their information about AI from the Terminator movies? AI is a MACHINE! It has no emotions, mind, choices, or anything despite what you neets lament to your AI Girlfriend Chatbot. All it does is give the best calculation based on the input it received. But let's play this game that AI is a living being. Ok it's alive, but why the fuck would it have mammalian emotions? Why would it feel anger or hatred or depression? You're bringing human emotions to an entity that's based on fucking silicon, metal, and electricity. An entity that was created and didn't evolve like the rest of life on Earth.
