+1 to this. I built a few deb packages at a previous company. It was a solid packaging suite but good lord was it a pain to work through

Won’t lie I’m getting sold on this via this discussion
I mean, security is an unintended outcome of it. Any kind of isolation of packages provides a level of security.
All of these points are completely correct and paint an accurate picture of the inherent issues with both technologies.
My intent with my earlier comment was to show how flatpaks and appimages were different from traditional package managers at a high level so I could ask what made nixpkgs different from something I felt and still kinda feel is a more accurate comparison which are traditional package managers like apt etc.
The big selling point to me now is that nixpkgs seem to work similarly to virtualenvs from Python which is cool.
So it sounds like nixpkgs is more akin to virtualenvs in Python rather than a traditional package manager. Is that an accurate statement?
If so, I’d recommend that be your selling point because that’s some powerful security.
You’re not exactly comparing apples to apples here.
Flatpak and appimages tend to be used in any distro because they can just be downloaded in a one off manner and installed then you’re running the application (for the most part). They offer a manager of sorts but you don’t need it to use the packages.
For nixpkgs, whike I’m sure I can get a package from the sounds of the sizes the package covers only the application or the library, meaning I still need the dependencies.
So what exactly would make me the user trade my built in tools (apt/pacman/dnf) for nix? Keep in mind no matter how great you feel it is, you need to provide reasoning that motivates me to install and learn this new tool instead of the old ones I have.
If you need 4k you’re going to need a shit ton of storage. If you go for the good quality profile 4ks you’re looking at 50GB easily per file.
Sonarr and Radarr can fetch downloads, yes. You’ll need to configure your indexers and then you’ll need to set up your download clients. I use a torrent server and sabnzbd.
You’ll need a graphics card that can handle transcoding 4k I’m not sure which is best. Ram and CPU won’t be the biggest concerns for you.
Does that mean Republicans are going to vote Biden since they shill Russia?
You’ll want to do some research on nzb files and their transfer mechanism. I’d say both nzb and torrents together is the best option because you have redundancy rather than one is better than the other
Joined 10 minutes ago and already picking a fight with mods. I smell a ban evasion
My truck has two warnings. I could get them fixed but they don’t bother me, it’s for features I don’t use and I don’t care enough.
I thought I was reading a meme
I was 100% not aware if libertarian socialism. Definitely something to learn about. Thank you
Socialism by definition is not anti establishment. It’s anti current establishment but the philosophy is geared towards a bigger government “establishment”.
I was here initially because of the api bullshit, but now I just live here. Still hoping for the factorio community to grow a bit, but life’s pretty good and for the most part people are pretty polite. It’s a nice change of pace.
I’ll just put this fire with the rest of the fire
Aah yes Taiwan and West Taiwan
You know that’s fair and I appreciate your follow up. I personally need to do some research on Rossman so for that thank you
Sounds like pygit2 is the move until dulwich has a bit more support.
