exempt school buses and emergency vehicles.

I don’t think it ever applied to emergency vehicles, although I’m not sure about school buses.

Indeed:

Qualifying authorized emergency vehicles, qualifying vehicles transporting a person with disabilities, specialized government vehicles, and transit and commuter buses would be exempted from the CBD toll

• https://abc7ny.com/nyc-congestion-pricing-plan-start-date-tolls-exemptions/14726774/, from the original plan

I’m not sure if commuter buses include school buses, but you’d expect it too.

The main changes seem to be a reduction in tolls. Which is fine as a starting point, although I hope they increase relatively quickly.

It works, but it only works on Linux so they don’t advertise it. You may need to update the firmware to get the best experience too.

And it just seems to feed their supporters’ persecution fetish, as it did with Trump.

I use both 1 and 3, personally (although docker rather than podman). I normally prefer the nix way but it doesn’t support every service. I like that nix config is all in one place. In theory, so is docker-compose to am extent but there are usually exceptions and things can get complex. I also hate having to directly manage containers with minimal commandline tools.

But yeah the whole translate config routine in nix is kind of annoying, and I often need to experiment to get the options right if they aren’t documented.

Good on them, I assume it was years of LNP attrition that it had gotten this bad ? But happy to be corrected if my assumption was incorrect ?

From the article:

The government said its “landmark investment” in 3,000 extra staff was delivering major improvements for all Aussies.

But also I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the senior public servants appointed by the Coalition pushed them to slow down processing. Because, as we saw with Robodebt, the Coalition want to punish poor people as much as possible.

Reading itself isn’t what’s important, it’s mental stimulation that is. And more importantly stimulating different parts of the brain.

It’s important if you want to understand how the world works on a deeper level. There’s a reason that all scientific research is primarily presented in the written form.

Although I assume OP is talking about fiction which is a different matter.

DP to HDMI adapter that supports VRR or FreeSync.

Here you go: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-102101-BLK-Computer-Adapter/dp/B08XFSLWQF

It’s slightly quirky, but it does work. Although I don’t use HDMI audio so maybe you’re already using the same adapter.

0.82 is only two weeks old, so you would have needed nightly up until that point for most newer Garmin devices. I did uninstall Connect shortly after but I think you just have to make sure it’s not running, as I know some use both apps.

Gadget bridge doesn’t really work for any “new” (i might be wrong here) devices.

Most newer Garmin devices should work since 0.82 (and earlier with nightly). It’s not feature complete compared to using Gadget Connect but should be enough for most use cases, unless you really care about the social/awards aspect and some of the deeper metrics (although if you’re handy with SQL you can handle that yourself).

Not being able to set an event date and have “daily suggested workouts” follow that is my only annoyance, although I’ve been happy just using the defaults for now.

Hey buddy, I gotta movie for ya. A Fridge Too Far!

It’s an issue with the web interface but it works properly on mobile clients (it should show a strikethrough). If you follow the link, you’ll see that it doesn’t include all of the content due to anti-paywall measures.

(What about options in flakes.nix? Should I search those on the flakes/options tab?)

Not quite sure what you mean here. I normally only configure out-of-tree packages as flake modules (or whatever the term is), and I don’t think there is an official collection/search page for these. It’s mainly that certain packages require it like lanzaboote, and home-manager for that matter.

Once I enabled home-manager, I saw that in ~/.config/nixos a flakes.nix and a home.nix files appeared. I already have a flake.nix and a home.nix files in my etc/nixos directory. What’s going on?

It sounds like you configured home-manager system wide, probably through /etc/nixos/flake.nix, but then called the home-manager executable. If you did configure it like this then you do not need to call home-manager ever since nixos-rebuild etc commands will handle this for you.

Does putting packages in configuration.nix use the version control flakes provide?

Typically, it will be configured to follow inputs.nixpkgs so packages will use versions of whatever revision is currently pulled. In my system that is:

inputs.nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";

and then you essentially pass that to configuration.nix, and home.nix.

And although you seem to already be using flakes, when you call:

nix flake update

a new revision of input.nixpkgs will be pulled, and so packages configured in configuration.nix will be updated when you next call

nixos-rebuild switch

or whatever you used to update your system.

Refer to: https://nixos-and-flakes.thiscute.world/

if you haven’t already as there is where I got started from for the most part. There’s a lot more detail I missed since nix and flakes are pretty complex (and I don’t fully understand much of it either).

System packages in configuration.nix, user packages in home.nix. I’d say anything that is non-interactive and/or requires root access is a good rule of thumb for system packages. Beyond that I try to use modules for configuring packges and there is usually only one of nixos and home manager options (sometimes there are duplicates).

As for flakes I mostly use it to handle a bunch of different systems from one config and any flake specific configs. I also use standalone flakes for dev environments but that’s not related to the system config.

They are planning to use KVM under the hood in the future. But who cares when we have qemu and libvirt.

The old Union Pacific doesn’t come by here much anymore.

If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.

My bad. Hopefully we’ll see a follow up where she has surely come to her senses.

It’s the LA Times, a highly credible publication. In any case, no need to fabricate when reality supplies ample material.

The irony being that healthy teeth don’t look anywhere near that white.
