I do this on NixOS. I have a NAS at home where I store most of the files I work on. My computers are internally immutable and almost all the files that change reside solely on the NAS as NFS shares. All of my computers are configured to auto-mount one of its folders at boot. NixOS sees that as an internal drive.
Then, simply navigate to the project folder where I have a flake and a .envrc file containing the command use flake .which will make direnv use Nix to provision the dependencies automatically. Whenever I save, those changes are reflected on all computers.

I like to also version control everything using git and this method allows that transparently.

The only part that I am missing is getting the permissions to align between all computers accessing that same folder. Sometimes I have to create a temp folder that uses rsync to keep up with any changes. If anyone has any pointers, I’m all ears. It rarely gets in my way but does rear its head sometimes. Otherwise, this setup is perfect when I’m at home.

Sounds like a politician that yearns to profit from pharmaceutical companies like his big brothers in the corrupt United States.

Hard to describe in one phrase other than to say:

NixOS is to Linux as Unison is to Haskell

Content-addressing used in the context of programming languages in the service of solving the problem of distributed systems and their inability to share code across time and space.

Haskell has a content-addressed module that was perhaps influenced by Unison.

Here’s an excellent interview with one of the authors of Unison:

As others have said, Haskell and Rust are pretty great. A language that hasn’t been mentioned that I REALLY want to catch on, though, is Unison.

Honorable mention to my main driver lately: Purescript

I used to think json was the best until I found json lines or line delimited json. Thank me later. I use it all the time. You can append until you’re blue in the face. It’s great for log files. Each line is a valid json file.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this. Another way might be for a Lemmy instance to run a stake pool from the same machine. They could offer perks to users while also not requiring donations directly. Perhaps even reward users with the pool’s native tokens for every post they submit or something (this is a great place to bring up the drawbacks and very real issues that offering a perverse incentive can have: Cobra Effect).

The tech chosen is a key decision(in this case Cardano would be my recommendation honestly because I prefer the tech and not because I have a bag of it) because that stake pool could mint native tokens and use those as a currency for use on their instance if we used Cardano. Native tokens on Cardano are cheaper and not subject to the same fees as other (ERC-20) chains to use and mint. So it would allow that instance to have its own native currency with very little overhead.

Look at Kbin’s old code. There’s some mention of Cardano wallets on there so I’m guessing that the creator of that was interested in this idea.

I read somewhere that he wrote it. It was a reliable news article actually…aaaaaand it disappeared.

Anyway, he certainly was instrumental in helping write it. I think you’re trying to downplay his role in it. He was THE champion of the bill and Hunter got $250,000 paycheck from MBNA the following year. Explain that for us.

Here’s some quotes from an article on this subject:

But it passed anyway, with 18 Democratic senators breaking ranks and casting their vote in favor of the bill. Of those 18, one politician stood out as an especially enthusiastic champion of the credit companies who, as it happens, had given him hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions – Joe Biden.

Despite his protestations, it is indisputable that Biden was an avid supporter of the 2005 bill as a whole and of its overall thrust of tightening up the bankruptcy code largely to the benefit of lenders at the expense of distressed families who would find it harder to file for bankruptcy.

“Biden was one of the most powerful people who could have said no, who could have changed this. Instead he used his leadership role to limit the ability of other Democrats who had concerns and who wanted the bill softened,” said Melissa Jacoby, a law professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill specialising in bankruptcy.

Ps. But he’s a decent man™️©️

The BILL WAS

WRITTEN BY BIDEN HIMSELF.

edit: This is an unsubstantiated statement (though I previously read this in an article which has now disappeared from the web).

Identity politics might be causing you to blame the wrong person for the student loan crisis. Reagan certainly made everything he touched awful. I wont even argue that. He was objectively awful. But Biden’s legislation brought it into hyperdrive. Source: me (a person with $100,000 of inescapable student loan debt thanks to Joseph Biden.)

You know the country is lurching FAR rightward when Reagan is aligned with everyone in the Congress right now including the corporate Democrat in office. They ALL (both GOP and DNC corporatists) are on a mission to commodify every single basic human right in exchange for massive bribes.

At least in the cannabis industry here, they have a piece of software that they use to submit their inventories to the state. My current plan is to look into incorporating my system into that so I get accurate reports that are required by law to be done anyway.

I’d love to discuss further the pitfalls of my idea and any special considerations I might need to make.

I’m not sure yet TBH, but you’re welcome to help or build your own.
I intend to make it an entirely free and open source platform that allows retailers to broadcast their inventory to aggregators. No ads just like Lemmy, though I suppose that the feed itself serves as kind of an ad.

It was intended for the cannabis industry. Then the plan was to roll it out to the rest of the retail world when it has evolved enough.

There’s also veilid.

I even started a community here: https://infosec.pub/c/lemventory

I’ve been looking into building this. I was originally planning to fork Lemmy to do it but now it looks like NOSTR might be better suited to it.

If it’s as bad as it is in the US, they ALL want to privatize it.

I’ll never forget Joe Lieberman swooping in and literally letting health insurance companies completely rewrite (destroy) the Affordable Care Act from an incremental step toward Single Payer into a law that codifies their profiteering. It put everyone into three categories:

A.) people who make more than their incredibly low income means testing are required to shop for expensive private health insurance on the free market. Health insurance companies literally raised their rates right after this. Because of Joe, health insurance profits, medical bankruptcy, and death from being under/uninsured (70,000 people per year) are at an all-time high! Any real illness won’t be covered and you’ll be forced to cover it with a GoFundMe!

B.) people who face stiff fines if they don’t have health insurance (neoliberal paternalism much like charging people for plastic bags and sugary drinks)

C.) people who somehow manage to sneak in under the means testing income bar! If you are 300% or more below the actual poverty line, you get the most bare bones medical insurance possible!

Thanks for pulling it out of me.

Kind vibes to you, friendly and intellectually honest fellow fediverse Lemmy user. 🙏

“I” seem to require? No. I’m deferring to the cypherpunk manifesto which rings true over and over again.

IMO, anonymity should be able to be switched on and off at will by the user. Selective disclosure using homomorphic encryption coupled with digital identity can achieve both, IMO.

In particular, businesses require anonymity in much of their chain of custody…and I think that’s fair.

It was because I thought the author both understood and even agreed with my point in principle but then did intricate mental gymnastics to disagree with my point and let everyone off the hook including the person that I was disagreeing with.

I don’t want to continue talking in circles with Centrists telling me that the piss pouring on my head is in fact charitable rain drops from the benevolent libs.

I was thinking about that just now.

They did Corbyn dirty in almost exactly the same way that they did Sanders. It has been worst-case-scenario from there on out.

Have they fully privatized NHS yet?

Perhaps. I tend to listen to Snowden when it comes to tech. But I haven’t used it yet because all of the implementations I could use involved a bitcoin wallet. I’m a fan of crypto but that felt weird.

Someone else reassured me that NOSTR is a very open platform and that requirement wasn’t true.

From my research, I have found it to be far more decentralized than Lemmy’s (and the pub/sub) federated model, which would also, obviously have the same drawbacks that we see in other truly decentralized tech like crypto, torrents, and tor where you are on your own in the world, forced to literally keep the ocean of shit from infecting you! 😉

So, I think of those things as necessary evils. For example, if I used NOSTR, I could have an address that follows me no matter what. That cryptographic hash is my NOSTR identity for better or worse. That’s pretty powerful and far more secure than a two step verification process in the long run.

I don’t know enough about it yet. But I’d say it is a raw technology that I wouldn’t allow the criminals and trolls of the world define for me.
