I have $HOME/src for projects that are executables and $HOME/lib for ones that are libraries/dependancies/etc

I don’t think you have a choice in how many cats you own; you’ll wake up one day and they’ll be another one

I had to make a double take as I first read that as “donated to both the Hamas and Trump campaigns”

Yeah, you would think there would have been someone making a Clojure version at least

If anyone is interested here is a wiki with quite a few of the open source Minecraft servers and clients made through the years.

There have been multiple Java based projects throughout the years. The most advanced one that is currently in development is https://github.com/Minestom/Minestom

Engineering? Universal translator is acting up again; send up Ensign Zork, they speak Zetan right?

I’m not the author of the site so I can’t know for sure but the culture of plan9 puts simplicity first so many sites are http only

It’s a http site not https

Yes you are quite right, unfortunately for me I rolled high in electrochemestry and require copious amounts of proprietary games and CUDA cores so GNU + Linux + Proton is where I will need to be for now.

Nix seemed more focused on marketing and cutting corners to make a working product faster

Yes, this is a big issue in corporate development. It seems like management is in a constant state of barreling headfirst into a “silver bullet that fixes everything” instead of doing things the hard way (which in the long term is almost always better.

expect to either package it yourself

I have not maintained any packages before but I am very interested in learning how, I shall look into this.

Shepherd for its init system

I vaguely remember this was the originally used in Hurd? if so that is cool.

This is very cool!

guix import

This seems quite useful thanks for that.

Setting up Emacs, a local SMTP server connected to your email for git, and a CLI password manager will probably be helpful.

I have been wanting to set up upasfs this may be the push I need to finally get around to doing that.

It appears Guix may be a good choice in the future but not quite yet, I will try installing it as a package manager and/or try it in a VM to start out with. Thanks for the info!

Ah yeah, that makes sense. I shall try this out in a VM sometime. thanks!

Neat! Im not sure to be honest; seems like some people have handheld lora radios the same way some people have walkies-talkies; would be an important thing to figure out

Using scheme would be a big benefit for me as I already know it whereas NixOS I would have to learn their config language. I suppose that if it is easy to create packages and submit them it would be like compiling it myself except that more people could have access to it. I shall take this under consideration.

I do have one related question, during install how do you get an already customized config file onto the system during install? How do I create a config file beforehand?

yep! (otherwise my server has a lot of explaining to do)

I think this is a very good start. One issue is that the internet has the weakness of having its access controlled by ISPs; sure there are some places to get network access like the library, etc. but if these boxes could also have a LPWAN transmitter attached to them and networked up to other boxes nearby, that would be great.

This is why Mothra is the most advanced web browser. The only one to have a fully integrated “moth mode”! However, for us mere mortals I am excited about the ladybird browser as an alternative (in a couple of years most likely).
