Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Yeah, especially after discovering microvm.nix [1] I'm tempted to switch from Proxmox to NixOS.

    Edit: The VMs/LXCs are declared with Nix anyway.

    All my other VMs are NixOS...this is VERY appealing

    Thank you for posting this. I was looking for a way to be able to deploy just an app on a VM.

    What have you done to me, I'm in this position myself too because of the picture.

    I'm late to the Nix party. I do the bare minimum just for my at home media server. I guess it's a good time to get caught up on my Linux knowledge again.

    [–] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 11 months ago

    Do it. Don't just configure your server, configure all your servers... Forever. How hard can it be?

    This idea has crossed my mind many times. Thankfully, I'm too lazy to do anything about it.

    [–] VicentAdultman@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

    I am in the same position too. I mean, the appeal is having a config to redo everything if something goes wrong. Unlikely a debian/arch machines that I setup that I had no idea how I got there and what I can or can't install/uninstall, lmao.

    I recently moved from Arch to NixOS. It's more fun than I thought it would be.
