From their terms of service:

They (private repos) are also allowed for really small & personal stuff like your journal, config files, ideas or notes, but explicitly not as a personal cloud or media storage.

I’d guess that most private git repositories are small enough to fall under this category (unless you track large non-text files in git). This also seems like a very reasonable policy, considering that they’re a non-profit and they want to focus on supporting open source projects.

This might be what you’re looking for. When translating between languages other than English (German - Spanish in my case) the data can be a bit lacking but it generally works really well.

I’m using nebula to remotely access the raspberry pi in my home network and it mostly just works. The dual setup for nextcloud might be a bit more tricky, at least if you want to use HTTPS. You’ll probably have to set up a reverse proxy in Nginx for at least one of the routes, since they need different certificates (although since Nebula already authenticates and encrypts your traffic, HTTPS is probably not necessary there).

Das Problem der Betriebskosten löst man mit dezentralen Messengern aber auch nicht. Pro Nutzer werden die Betriebskosten da tendenziell noch höher sein und viele Leute spenden wahrscheinlich auch eher an eine bekannte Organisation wie die Signal Foundation als an einen kleinen unabhängigen Serverbetreiber.

The problem seems to be that home.stateVersion is not set because you commented out both the declaration in flake.nix as well as the line that imports home.nix. It’s a bit difficult to see whether the config is otherwise fine since there is a lot of visual clutter due to all the commented-out lines.

First, you need to pass the plasma-manager input to your home-manager config in some way. I use the NixOS module for home-manager which I declare like this in my flake.nix (if you have a different setup, this might not be necessary or you have to do it in a slightly different way):

homeManagerModule = {
  imports = [home-manager.nixosModules.home-manager];
  home-manager.users.myusername = import ./home.nix;
  # This will give us access to the inputs in the home-manager config
  home-manager.extraSpecialArgs = {inherit inputs};
};

Now the home-manager config (in my case home.nix) can look like this:

{
  inputs,
  ...
}: {
  imports = [inputs.plasma-manager.homeManagerModules.plasma-manager];
  programs.plasma = {
    enable = true;
    # ...
}

You probably forgot to import the plasma-manager module into home-manager. If you want to have a cleaner setup, I’d also recommend against just copying the complete output of rc2nix into your config since it tends to contain a lot of unnecessary stuff. What I usually do is:

1. Store the current config in a file, i.e. rc2nix > old-config.nix
2. Make whatever changes I want in Plasma in the graphical settings app
3. Store the updated config in a new file, i.e. rc2nix > new-config.nix
4. Get the difference, i.e. diff old-config.nix new-config.nix and add what I want to my actual plasma-manager config.

This of course only works if you’re starting from a relatively unmodified installation of KDE, but in that case it’s worth the effort imo.

Selbst bei einer Dividende von 2.500 Euro ändert sich für die untere Hälfte der Bevölkerung nichts am Vermögen. Arme Menschen würden das Geld der Simulation zufolge für bislang ungestillte Konsumbedürfnisse ausgeben, anstatt es zu sparen. Ihr Vermögen wüchse also nicht, der Wohlstand aber schon.

Was ist denn das für ein Argument? Es geht ja nicht darum, dass alle Menschen am Ende möglichst viel Geld in ihrem Bankkonto anhäufen, sondern dass ihr Lebensstandard sich langfristig verbessert. Abgesehen von den (vermutlich nicht allzu vielen) Leuten, die um ein Unternehmen zu gründen oder eine extrem teure Ausbildung zu bezahlen viel Geld auf einmal brauchen, ist eine einmalige Geldspritze dafür ja vermutlich nicht das effektivste Mittel.

That can be a good solution at least if electricity costs are not a big deal. If power is expensive in your area, it might be worth to buy something more power-efficient, like a raspberry pi (assuming they’re not completely sold out right now).

No company is just going to host a server for you for free, a (virtual) server for running nextcloud will cost you at least a few bucks a month. As others have already said, you can run a server at home on your own hardware, but this is also not free (hardware cost, electricity, etc.) and you will additionally have to deal with any hardware issues & replacements yourself.

Laut dem Artikel müssten außerdem mindestens 14% der Unfälle durch Radfahrer verursacht sein, obwohl der Unfall auf einem Radweg stattfand (mehr, wenn man davon ausgeht dass Fahrradfahrer bei anderen Unfallorten nicht immer Verursacher sind). Geht es da um Zebrastreifen oder Abbiegespuren? Ansonsten hätten die Fahrradfahrer ja Vorfahrt. Oder zählt der Artikel geteilte Fuß- und Radwege auch als Radwege?

Honestly, instead of trying to remove Snap from Ubuntu, I’d just install another distro (PopOS for example is mostly like Ubuntu but with Flatpak instead of Snap)

I think it’s a fairly standard feature. At least Protonmail also supports this kind of “alias”.

Are you using the Jerboa client? I think they recently introduced an option to open links in a private tab which is on by default for some reason. It confused me too until I found the setting.

That really depends on how exactly the public broadcasting is funded. In Germany for example, this happens independently from other state expenses so there’s no way that the government can directly controll the press. For this reason, the press tends to be critical of all political parties, including the ones currently in government.

From Wikipedia:

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

The only part that could vaguely be associated with capitalism (in a democratic country) is “militarism” and even then this is only the case if you mainly focus on the USA. The fact that fascist countries were running free-market economy is also not really a point since that was (and is) the case for a large part of the world.

“subordination of personal interest” and “strong regimentation of […] the economy” is the opposite of prototypical uncontrolled capitalism. Saying that capitalism is fascism is just as stupid as saying that fascism and socialism are the same (“bUT it wAs cALLed naTIOnaL soCiaLIsm”). Using the word “fascism” for everything you don’t like just makes it lose all meaning.

I think this should work assuming that the game and mods are compatible with proton. Also, you don’t need an external drive, you can access the windows partition from linux (probably not the other way around though since linux understands NTFS but windows doesn’t understand ext4). If there are any issues, maybe try the “Verify Game Files” feature of steam. This might remove the mods but at least you don’t have to download the game again.

I’ve started writing a NixOS config to replace the Ubuntu install that I currently have on my server. I’m starting to question if it makes sense though, since the Nextcloud Snap is very convenient (it even includes a backup/restore script) and I don’t know if I’ll be able to easily replicate all of that easily using the NixOS module.

Wie er es sich vorstellt, Atomkraft als “Überbrückungstechnologie” zu verwenden, verstehe ich auch nicht. Man bräuchte doch erstmal Jahre, um die Kraftwerke wieder auf Vordermann zu bringen und neue Brennelemente zu beschaffen. In der Zeit könnte man stattdessen auch einfach erneuerbare Energien ausbauen. Vor 10 Jahren hätte man darüber noch diskutieren können, aber mittlerweile ist die Entscheidung halt schon getroffen.

I think Plex is not open source but is there any reason against Jellyfin? As far as I know, they also have apps for most smart TVs in case that’s what you mean by navigating with a remote.

In my experience, a good way to get a polished desktop with a tiling workflow is to use KDE / GNOME with a few extensions & i3 shortcuts. Unless you really care about customizing every part of your DE, the work of configuring i3 to match a proper DE in terms of polish might not be worth it.

I previously used GNOME with the Forge extension and a few simple extensions for a workspace indicator, disabling the workspace switch animation, etc. This worked quite well but since GNOME is not very configurable, you have to do a lot of that through extensions (e.g. disabling the workspace switch animation & popup). This is particularly annoying since GNOME updates tend to break extensions.

For that reason, I recently switched to KDE. Polonium is a very nice tiling plugin for it. Since KDE is pretty customizable, I didn’t really need a lot of other extensions to support my workflow. It’s mainly a matter of configuring keyboard shortcuts and a few other settings. I haven’t used KDE long enough to say how stable everything is under updates, but from what I’ve heard it should be a lot better than GNOME.

I personally use NixOS and Home Manager with the Plasma Manager module for KDE. It’s a steep learning curve but if you have fun learning new stuff it is worth it in my opinion.

Otherwise, a GNOME / KDE tiling setup will probably also be mostly reproducible if you just track your dot files. There’s always a bit of manual configuration but it’s also difficult to completely avoid that with NixOS (although probably possible).
