How well NixOS fits your purpose really depends on what you want to do with the OS. If you’re just going run a bunch of docker containers, you could manage them via Nix but its a little cumbersome.

Where NixOS really shines for small servers are the so called NixOS Options. They allow you to install tons of services on bare metal but manage all the configuration for you. E.g. open the correct firewalls ports, run a dedicated DB or cache, etc. and all those simply require you to enable them with an ... = true;.

Smaller projects might not have a NixOS Option available and some options are more and/or easier configurable than others, but if you’re running just a few common services you could feasibly manage your whole server with just one native config file and no docker shenanigans.

I’d recommend checking what’s available under the link above. If you wanna go the container route instead, you have the option of just using docker non-declaratively as on every other distro (but then you lose some of the benefits NixOS gives you), or you can declaratively have NixOS manage all the docker containers. There are a few ways to do and manage this so some further research will be required.

I know this is a meme but would that actually help a rocket engine?

They do water injection on some bomber engines and the harrier jump jet, which allows them to run even more fuel through the engine(s).

On a rocket engine this would only make sense inside the combustion chamber, not the nozzle?

Does flash boiling water in the nozzle add enough pressure to overcome the pressure reduction from cooling down the exhaust gasses?

Indeed

Not an expert. This has been done quite successfully for space applications. Granted they are only required to roll out once but they have to do so with near perfect reliability. There are quite a few makes and models but I’ll reference the ones currently mounted on the ISS (ROSA made by Redwire) because you’ve probably seen pictures of them.

Their patent states that they use polymeric sheets or fiberglass meshes as a backing material.

Here they are in their packed up state:

And unpacked (the brownish “smaller” panels on the right, note that they are still longer than entire human modules):

Then helmfile might be worth checking out

Mir ist immer ein Niederschlagsgraph wichtig.

Die open-meteo Modelle sind für meine Planung für die nächsten paar Tage zuverlässig genug. Die benutzen meines Wissens nach Europaweite Modelle, sollten also auch grenzübergreifend vergleichbar gut funktionieren.

Es gibt ne Menge Open-Source Wetter Apps im F-Droid store die auf open-meteo zurückgreifen, zB:

Overmorrow (Izzysoft Repo)

Love the Sendy Club Camaro. The aero-hood design is such a great combination of form and function.

again.

On a serious note: space is hard and I wish them the best of luck for their next attempt.

You dont need to manually handle the WG config files. This isn’t really an issue when it’s just you and your two devices, but once you start supporting more people, like non-technical family members, this gets really annoying really quickly.

Tailscale (and headscale) just require you to log in, which even those family members can manage and then does the rest for you. They also support SSO in which case you wouldn’t even have to create new accounts.

Canadian Sci-Fi starring Roger Cross is the best genre

There is a prompt for logging in with PSN but you can just press skip and be done with it

It always starts with the disassembly of a vacuum raptor, so it’ll be one of the bottom six configurations.

Du deutest es zwar an, aber noch mal explizit: Bei einem offline Angriff würde der Code nie laufen und somit auch gar nichts bringen.

Dabei wird direkt gegen die Hashes in einer Kopie der Nutzerdatenbank verglichen und nicht die normale Anmeldemaske verwendet.

Tire dust, absolutely. Probably even more than ICE cars since EV’s are heavier.

But brakes? Yeah no. To get the most range out of your EV you always want to slow down by recuperating/regenerating. The classic brake only gets used at (near) standstill or the occasional hard braking for collision avoidance.

Regardless of the sponsorship in this video, SuperfastMatt’s videos are awesome. Really interesting projects delivered with great humor.

I like that they translated the signature

You can boot a live-usb, mount the remaining drive(s) and nixos-enter over like you would if you were installing NixOS for the first time.

This allows you to make changes and build a new generation using the network connection of the live-usb.

Great video. Something I want to touch on:

He kinda makes the assertion that supply must exceed demand which I guess is ok for most items.

Especially in SA once you leave a surface, demand of most items will plummet close to 0. The only demand will be ship requests and defense stuff.

But I can’t count the number of times I had to go back and increase iron plate production, green chips, copper, red chips, etc… It’s always the same few items but as your factory grows, demand seems to always beat supply at multiple stages.

In those cases these kinds of balancers will not distribute the little supply evenly, making parts of the factory grind to a halt which is not ideal.

There are some experimental models made specifically for use with Home Assistant, for example home-llm.

Even though they are tiny 1-3B I’ve found them to work much better than even 14B general purpose models. Obviously they suck for general purpose questions just by their size alone.

That being said they’re still LLMs. I like to keep the “prefer handling commands locally” option turned on and only use the LLM as a fallback.

Thats what I’ve been using as well. On some of my cards it has some weird layout bugs (only on some viewing devices) which annoy me.
