You forgot all the failed Hitler assassinations, nobody cried over those either

I’ve tried talking and that doesn’t work, I’ve also tried being kind and all that shit no dice. But everyone gets upset when I say let’s shoot them, so please tell me more about how it’s my fault.

+1 to this. I built a few deb packages at a previous company. It was a solid packaging suite but good lord was it a pain to work through

Won’t lie I’m getting sold on this via this discussion

I mean, security is an unintended outcome of it. Any kind of isolation of packages provides a level of security.

All of these points are completely correct and paint an accurate picture of the inherent issues with both technologies.

My intent with my earlier comment was to show how flatpaks and appimages were different from traditional package managers at a high level so I could ask what made nixpkgs different from something I felt and still kinda feel is a more accurate comparison which are traditional package managers like apt etc.

The big selling point to me now is that nixpkgs seem to work similarly to virtualenvs from Python which is cool.

So it sounds like nixpkgs is more akin to virtualenvs in Python rather than a traditional package manager. Is that an accurate statement?

If so, I’d recommend that be your selling point because that’s some powerful security.

You’re not exactly comparing apples to apples here.

Flatpak and appimages tend to be used in any distro because they can just be downloaded in a one off manner and installed then you’re running the application (for the most part). They offer a manager of sorts but you don’t need it to use the packages.

For nixpkgs, whike I’m sure I can get a package from the sounds of the sizes the package covers only the application or the library, meaning I still need the dependencies.

So what exactly would make me the user trade my built in tools (apt/pacman/dnf) for nix? Keep in mind no matter how great you feel it is, you need to provide reasoning that motivates me to install and learn this new tool instead of the old ones I have.

If you need 4k you’re going to need a shit ton of storage. If you go for the good quality profile 4ks you’re looking at 50GB easily per file.

Sonarr and Radarr can fetch downloads, yes. You’ll need to configure your indexers and then you’ll need to set up your download clients. I use a torrent server and sabnzbd.

You’ll need a graphics card that can handle transcoding 4k I’m not sure which is best. Ram and CPU won’t be the biggest concerns for you.

Does that mean Republicans are going to vote Biden since they shill Russia?

Aah yes Taiwan and West Taiwan

Worth asking that and what Israel’s conservative ruling party want. Those two will be the ones to decide what happens next.

It’s pretty nice on my steamdeck no issues to report. I prefer a nice Deb package but on the deck flatpaks get preserved over upgrades.

You can’t be his handler, I clearly am! I handle him so good people don’t even know my name

I’ll be honest, I kinda hate snaps on Ubuntu. They work well enough, but things like updates are never automatic and generally just a pain in the ass. I’m at the point where I really want to experiment with bedrock Linux to have ubuntu’s kernel for built in ZFS and have debian repos for less shit decisions.

On my steam deck, I’ve become fond of flatpaks and similar experiences because they help preserve the software across updates ensuring I don’t have to constantly reinstall things but that’s a niche issue given the nature of how steam manages the os on a steam deck

And the prosumer approach they take to networking features. OSPF and UPnP in the same software? I’ll never turn to anything else.

You could go pfsense and add a wireless card.

Odd bug me thinks. Then again, I’m replying from lemmy so might be an issue with how activitypub is working between the two?

L’chaim!

I appreciate the silliness in this post, as a jew I approve.
