How is alternative transit the solution? Cities that have public transportation still have traffic jams.

There was an English traffic engineer that predicted that avg speed in central London will always be like 9mph. No matter how many lanes or public transit options you add. If there is no traffic, people will take cars until traffic jams are unbearable to give up. Then the system finds equilibrium.

Factorio and OpenTTD

Personal blog on a public Internet is kind of an oxymoron.

The blog post is close enough to an article.

Yes, all packages in nixos are available as binaries to download.

The comparison with Arch was just in terms of number of packages. Not the binary availability.

At the bottom of this page, they say that binary cache is currently at 120TB. https://nixos.org/community/index.html

If packages being available as binaries is the main criteria, nix has you covered there.

The biggest issue for most people with Nixos is the learning curve just because it’s so different.

Nixos will use/download cached binaries that are available in its repo. It has one of the biggest repositories of any Linux distro. It’s on par with Arch with around 90 thousand packages.

Unless you are doing something custom or niche, your nixos won’t have to compile anything.

Technically correct, but there are systems that don’t have to rely on maps per say. For example, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party-list_proportional_representation where representatives are assigned proportionally based on the votes. You don’t have “your own representative”.

Obviously there are downsides to this, but at the same time it requires no districts and manipulation in that regard is not possible.

This doesn’t seem correct. RCS is supposed to be supported by you mobile provider, if it isn’t only then your messaging app on Android will use Google’s service. The whole protocol was meant to be open to entice companies to adopt it.

I understand Google dropped don’t be evil, but they are not a villain in every story.

I was wondering the same thing. But it appears that cost of living adjustment is not considered a pay raise in the context of 27th amendment.

MikroTik is super powerful, customizable and affordable.

Such a good point. I’m honestly surprised people recommend Nextcloud so frequently. I’ve used it in a commercial environment and it sucks ass. It broke numerous times when upgrading, it was buggy and slow. At the time their GitHub page had like 4k open issues and another 8k closed. Looks like it’s somewhat better now. Many of issues we’ve experienced were reported but no movement for years. It’s like least stable OSS I had dealt with.
