Using shitty drag-and-drop tools that create shitty websites bloated with tons of unnecessary JavaScript, one of which is from an Israeli company and another of which is known for repeatedly having server vulnerabilities and needs a programmer for the theme anyways
Also like every 5 minutes there's a new framework and tool that will become obsolete 5 years later and people don't want to keep learning all of them while every project does their own thing. Programming slop started long before AI took over (looking at you JavaScript)
I know someone who does work related to performing arts and wants a website, but they have no technical skills/want to stay focused on their main interests. Contracting with someone to make one is expensive considering they don't make much income, and nobody has time to create a website for free. Unless UBI becomes a thing, people have to be pragmatic when they rely on art as their source of income.
I tried root on tmpfs with Guix once and I kept running into RAM limitations, especially when building large programs. For NixOS, I use BTRFS and their script to clear the root filesystem on reboot (although I had to do some extra steps since I had systemd enabled for initrd)
I use nix-doom-emacs-unstraightened for org-mode and ledger-mode, although I think it expects you to use elisp for most of the configuration so it's not as integrated with Nix. Second devenv (with flake-parts), nixd, and stylix. There's also flakes for Niri and DMS for window manager + shell.
I have an endless list of configuration changes to make, but security hardening with nix-mineral and impermanence, and using den to organize if you have a lot of hosts/users are options I recommend. Also if you have a spare laptop lying around, I use that for hacky NixOS experimentation. I also want to switch my homelab to NixOS + MicroVM.nix + OpenTofu, and possibly Kubernetes.
If you use Helix, use the nightly version from their flake since it has like a year's worth of updates compared to the last release. Or use Steelix if you want early access to plugin support.
I've had websites like Nix Hydra randomly give me a webpage full of gibberish which is also annoying and a lot moreso than the Anibus ones because you can't get past it, I thought they got hacked at first also
I kindof want to try mushrooms at some point, part of me wants to try LSD again but after that first experience I'm not sure I'd ever be able to do it again without stuff going badly
Same here, I got the impression that therapists aren't interested in that sort of stuff and when we kept focusing on the shallow lifestyle stuff I felt like it wasn't getting anywhere and stopped going
