no, it really doesn't. (nixos-generators has multiple ready-to-go kexec options, nixos-anywhere is entirely built on the concept, etc, etc. It would be a two-line change to pull in the kexec module into any of my computers configurations [or all of them!], and another single command to kexec reboot into it.)

Have you heard of NixOS? Where this is nigh impossible?
I would like to see more attention given to this. I'm capable of compartmentalization and not over-guilting myself, but holy hell, I really hope he's doing alright. This would kind of destroy me.
I was actually telling my dad about this. I have a project, 500+ users, not quite root access, but enough to cause serious damage. I can think of at least one covert way to backdoor the binary artifacts from it.
About two years ago, someone showed up, started making good commits. In this case, they have some other community rep that goes back a bit further but... man it's an unsettling feeling.
Bacalar was ... stunning, and chill. Still full of tourists and expats and retirees, but infinitely better vibes than Tulum. Even PDC is more touristy and somehow less... Tulum... than Tulum.
Tulum is fine but I would not ever go again if my friend didn't live there. It's just the intersection of nacros, tourism, cancun spillover, hella overpriced beach clubs. Probably my least favorite place I've been in Mexico, tbh.
I met a nice Israeli filmography couple (somewhat known in Israel, I think) in Tulum last summer. After conducting important business, they were telling me about how they were vacating on the back of a nice windfall -- they got paid upfront for an editting/production job which was unprecedented and generous. Implications of lots of money and some "image rehabilitation". They're acting a bit coy about it, and I'm feeling perfectly fine to be nosy.
So they ask if I've ever heard of "S.B.F.". After my mouth fell open and I gasped for air a few times, and demanded some proof, I got to see a not-public interview of SBF. Nothing particularly juicy, but still. I'm a nerd and I love gossip.
Apropos of nothing, other than the world is small, and weird; I guess.
First, it is a mistake to call these usernames. Second, it's a big mistake because this is a cool feature.
It's interesting to compare this feature to Session, where you also have randomized identifiers, but they identify you globally, and there's no way to give someone a handle to you that isn't linkable to other conversations. It sounds like Signal now offers that, which is actually the first time I've been intrigued by Signal.
> But the next time you decide to be a patronising asshole to someone you’ve never met and who very likely has significantly more experience than you, maybe remember this meme
Well, I touched a nerve, but apparently not the nerve that would've caused you to substantiate your point with any specifics or details whatsoever, thereby re-confirming my suspicion.
> ho very likely has significantly more experience than you
Shrug, I can give detailed examples of things I have experience with; especially things that I'm publicly saying don't work well. Furthermore, you have zero basis on which to make this statement, other than emotions.
> The point, in case you completely missed it, is to empathise with the average user. Not me, I’m able to resolve the issues that arise in Linux land (or know when to stop), the average user can very quickly drown.
And you still haven't given a single freaking example. As I stated, I worked with extensive piles of commodity consumer hardware and have NEVER EVER HAD to compile a kernel module in the past 10-15 years. I haven't had to do anything that couldn't just be done in Plasma/Gnome. Go on, give an example. Any example.
> still a nightmare of finding drivers, scripts, etc. to get everything setup
It reads like the prototypical "I tried Linux a decade ago and keep repeating the experience as if it represents reality today". Hell, 10 years ago was when I met my ex and I can't remember any time during that period that I actually "struggled" with anything other than Nvidia+Wayland before I stopped giving Nvidia money.
"finding drivers"? really? For what? I can't remember the last time I've even heard of anyone mentioning compiling a module manually. Running random scripts from the Internet haphazardly trying to "fix" stuff? Yeah, okay, I'm getting a mental image.
I can't name the last thing or feature that required any amount of fiddling to get working in Linux. Premium webcams, audio equipment, Chromebooks, Lenovos, ASUS gaming laptops, brand new laptops, 3 USB-C hubs, complicated docked, multi-monitor scenarios. It all has just worked out of box with Linux and NixOS, and requires less maintenance and hand holding than my single Windows dual-boot install.
