Former distrohoppers, where did you settle down?
  • You can get pretty far with copy-pasting. If you want to try it out, you should first realize that there's always 10+ different ways to do the same thing. Stick with what works and with what seems the most intuitive to you.

    Personally, I suggest going straight for a flake-based setup. Flakes are somehow still labeled experimental, but they're actually mature and broadly adopted.

  • Former distrohoppers, where did you settle down?
  • After trying out a few distros over the last 20 years or so (openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Fedora and Silverblue were the ones I actively used for a stretch of time on desktop, Debian and CentOS on server), I also landed on NixOS.

    Who knows what the future brings, but things feel more settled to me than they ever have. Maybe that's because there's a (declarative) solution for every custom setup, it's just a function of time and profiency in Nix. Or maybe it's because I invested quite a bit of work into a trivially reproducible setup for most of my machines and workflows (all in one glorious version-controlled flake), that the sunk costs are too high to switch elsewhere.

    I'm still willing to experiment with DEs/WMs, currently running Gnome on my main and Sway on weaker machines. Hyprland is a bit out there for my taste, but I'm really looking forward to giving Cosmic DE a try once it's ready.

  • Text editor with predefined text snippets?
  • Yeah with its flags / regex / python support UltiSnips is really the gold standard of a snippet engine. In many other environments "snippets" really just means "substitute one string for another", where UltiSnips is so much more!

  • I use btrbk (on a btrfs filesystem) and I've never been happier. It fits my workflow perfectly: Frequent automated local snapshots with the occasional incremental backup to one of several encrypted external drives. It's fast and reproducible since it's all in a single conf file.

  • Looking for some confirmation that these beauties are Oyster Mushrooms?
  • I would generally agree, but 1) there may well be dead wood just under the grass and 2) these conditions may explain the atypical stem. Never fully trust ID by pic and opinions on the internet obviously but this looks very much like Pleurotus ostreatus to me. (Also because there aren't many alternative candidates in my opinion.)

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Bei allem Verständnis für die Situation finde ich es ganz schön heftig, dass hier unwidersprochen empfohlen wird, einen Unfall herbeizuführen. Auch noch so "kleine" Auffahrunfälle bergen ein hohes Verletzungsrisiko an Hals und Kopf.

  • What is this?
  • Possibly. Or an Amanita, or a whole range of other things... very hard to tell with just this one picture.

    (My very uninformed, stab-in-the-dark guess would be Amanita vaginata actually.)

  • What is this?
  • Cool! Take a couple of pictures from different angles next time, and I'm sure people here will love to try and ID it. (Don't be afraid to touch any mushroom, just tell small kids not to touch them.)

  • My (possibly poor reading of) the audobon guide, my instinct, and my foraging friend tells me these are oysters.
  • Definitely not oysters. Possibly Tapinella atrotomentosa.

    In my experience, the only way to "really know" a mushroom is to find it repeatedly, have it in your hand, smell it, and have someone next to you who really knows their stuff and talk to them about the mushroom in your hand, and learn that way what characteristics to look for. Then find it again, identify it yourself, confirm with an expert. Repeat until you don't have to ask.

  • Deutschsprachige Inhalte besser oder nur sichtbarer als auf Reddit?

    Ich hatte auf Reddit eigentlich nur englischsprachigen Content konsumiert und bin gerade überrascht, wie vielseitig sich die deutschsprachigen Inhalte auf feddit.de präsentieren und wie relevant sie für mich sind.

    Mich würde interessieren: Gab es diesen ganzen Content auch auf Reddit (und entsteht dieser Effekt einfach nur dadurch, dass hier alles gebündelt im Local-Feed erscheint), oder sind die deutschsprachigen Communities im Fediverse tatsächlich ausdifferenzierter und gehaltvoller?

    (Die Frage ist vor allem an User gerichtet, die wie ich kürzlich erst von Reddit migriert sind und dort viel in deutschsprachigen Subreddits unterwegs waren. Bei den Veteran*innen entschuldige ich mich förmlichst für die erneute Reduktion dieser Plattform auf ihre Rolle als Reddit-Alternative.)
