@dylancode I hear the guys on #linuxunplugged talking about Nix literally all the time, and that makes me want to like it, because I like those guys and I like the show. Then I get to reading about it and I'm like "err, screw that."

I used Arch for a long time. Back in the day before flatpaks, the AUR opened up paths to software for me that I otherwise didn't have, or it made that access a lot easier. Just maintaining it got to be a chore, so I eventually drifted away. I still have fond memories of it though.

My absolute favorite distro is Debian. I mean, at least in theory. I don't use it anymore because I like having more recent software, and I freaking loath going through all the motions to make it livable for me these days. I still get the warm fuzzies when I see a Debian swirl though :D

@abosio

I could buy this if #TailScale was being promoted on, say, #LinuxUnplugged. On a show specifically about self hosting though, promoting something that runs everyone's logins through #Google/#Microsoft/#Apple is hypocritical.

#OIDC is at least self-hostable, but setting that up wipes out the main claimed benefit, namely that it will be up and running "within minutes". So they're making claims on a show literally called "SelfHosting" that are only met by using #GAFAM accounts.
