I have found myself deep in the Nix and nixOS ecosystem myself.

AI may have its uses, but corporations and big tech have shattered our trust in them to “do the right thing”.

Yet another shattering of whatever trust they have.

Maybe best to avoid NVDA if using Linux, entirely.

My next build is going to be AMD GPU and CPU with nixOS. I heard GPU support for Linux is better with AMD cards, but honestly haven’t delved into it whether it holds any truth or not.

I just like the idea that it’s using stalwart as the collaboration server (mail/calendar/contacts) [1].

I host my own personal mail server with it and have had no issues so far.

In a way, cooking still has that “deprecation” feel. Like when you use a kitchen tool that is like 2 orders of magnitude above what you are currently using.

For me it was knives. It was a serrated knife set that was a gift and got me through college. Once I got a real job and could get something of quality. A friend recommended I change out my knives for a chef quality knives. Started out with some Global knives and have never went back to my old set. Been slowly adding over time (ie, bread knife, cleaver, paring).

Also, switched from non-stick to stainless steel because fuck PFOA. Also picked up a quality rice cooker from Zojirushi.

Technique can get you very far in cooking, but to make that dish perfect got to have the right tools.
