I REALLY don't want to join #Bluesky and love it here on the fedi.

Are people spending all their time online. After I reach a certain number of people I follow I find I cannot follow all their posts and only see the latest ones because I have a life offline.

@CIMB4 I actually really values the perspectives of "just users" of Linux. Welcome!

@the5thColumnist oh I do too. Which is why I don't wanna maintain this and another account somewhere else.
I reckon this is going to be just fine
-
The generations sound like a great way to experiment, version, revert back, etc. I can't wait to get more proficient in NixOS.
By the way, I have one application that comes only as a tar.gaz file with the executables for Linux. How does NixOS handle such applications? -
@8744781f42a20add2f942a2b4feabca5b451ca22c17e20db7884f55d72f30a56 Ive not needed to install from a tarball, but do have an app image I keep maintained as a nix package.
That's likely the answer. Make a nix package that builds it. Then it's part of your main build.
Are you sure it's not already in nix packages though? I'm always shocked how much is there

@8744781f42a20add2f942a2b4feabca5b451ca22c17e20db7884f55d72f30a56 for instance, this is how I make this beekeeper app image feel like a core part of my system
nix/common/beekeeper.nix at main Β· mkellyxp/nix
Contribute to mkellyxp/nix development by creating an account on GitHub.
GitHub (github.com)
Then in my packages list, I call it like so.
(pkgs.callPackage ./beekeeper.nix { })
I bet there is a similar flow for tarballs

@codemonkeymike people are stupid. It may take a bit longer, but youβll get actual interactions here.
-
@mirabilos that's 100% been my experience.
The stupid people and the good interactions here
-
@codemonkeymike you had me at Linux and dad jokes.
What do you call a tiny psychic that escaped from jail? A small medium at large.

@codemonkeymike I have had a lot of success with BridgyFed. I can even respond, follow, like, etc.

@mitch but don't the people you want to follow also have to bridge?
-
@codemonkeymike Hi!
Long-time user of elementary OS & novice browser-dev here!
-
@codemonkeymike There's plenty of people to follow and engage with here on the fediverse. Anyone telling you otherwise is coping and full of it.

I love Linux, replying to you now on an Arch based distro.

@codemonkeymike Hey there,
most of my posts are of private nature, but I work with Elixir/Phoenix and I occasionally even write about it
-
@codemonkeymike You say "old" and I say "Hi kid" - speaking as a person who saved his first code on 1" wide yellow tape in 1967.
Me: Vanilla #javascript, #PHP and #Maps. Lot and lots of maps.
Most recent project is PHP backend to let people download ArcGIS FeatureServer data as KMZ. #GIS #Geospatial
-
@codemonkeymike how many people are "enough" to follow and engage with you? Find it funny to measure engagement by count, and not by quality
-
@Hanstux I've said this before in the thread. I don't care about numbers. I care about quality. The fear is I'm missing out on quality people not being there.
But I do see (from this post) that isn't true
-
@mappingsupport haha it's all relative isn't it. I talk to these jS devs and they can't comprehend my first computer was msdos, programming in gw basic.
Welcome
