  • This is what I did but I would suggest you shop around. in many cases for first time sign ups you can get the domain for free and you pay a discounted price for the first year. For example I went with a local webhosting service where I got the domain for free, unlimited email account creations, and a decent shared web hosting server for $50 a year. I use the web hosting to host my personal site regardless of the fact I have a dedicated server with OVH. But I mean the free domain and emails + web hosting for $50 a year was a deal I couldn’t turn down.


  • it really is fantastic out of the box. When I switched to NixOS I had decided to stay on zsh/ohmyzsh and it was an absolute slog. it was so slow and didn’t mesh well with the zsh plugins. Someone suggested I try Fish instead as it pretty much could do what Zsh does with plugins but right out of the box. Fish was much faster and indeed could do everything that I had configured zsh to do but I didn’t have to configure Fish at all. It’s great, I’ll never use another shell.









  • I…I don’t understand. Why would you use Bazzite for software development and not gaming when user is not a gamer but just likes KDE?

    you can literally put KDE on anything. Bazzite isn’t friendly to installing anything that isn’t a flatpak or whatever.

    Just use a different distro. you don’t need Bazzite. Switch them to like Fedora KDE or something.

    And to people in this thread trying to push a camel through a pin hole…why? you’re talking about setting up VMs and Distroboxs or just using flatpaks on Bazzite when the most painless solution is to just switch distros.

    You picked the wrong distro, just switch them to something more appropriate for what they want to do.



  • I don’t understand what exactly this is as it doesn’t go into great detail especially the whole “flavors” thing. There’s Ember, Social, Community, and Corporation so what’s the difference between each. in the documentation for installation it tells you to pick a flavor but again doesn’t describe what each “flavor” actually is.

    So is this like meetup or some kind of neighborhood app/social group thing? I’d be willing to set up an instance on my server of it today but I don’t even know what this really is.



  • yeah man do it. I’m making money hand over fist cleaning up AI slop, sure I’d love to have more clients in Toronto that need to dig themselves out of the LLM mess they made. get that government money that will eventually go into my pocket.

    I’d rather that billion go towards housing though. But hey if they want to throw away a billion dollars over 5 years I’m more than happy to take a little bit of it off their hands.

    Protip: If you’re a developer and you’re struggling to find work, bone up on your code review and freelance yourself to companies to clean up AI slop, been doing that for over the past year and I’m making more money than I ever did when I was just a regular web/software dev.
