I'm contemplating installing #NixOS and then replacing Nix with #Lix, and figuring out how to then change the init system to dinit.

*Then* I'll tell literally everyone about it the way people into crossfit tell me about their workouts.

I mean, saying "I Use #Arch BTW" is so passé.

Eine Sache, die mir am Fediverse besonders gefällt, ist, dass man mehrere Konten haben kann, um sich auf bestimmte Aspekte die man über sich kommunizieren möchte konzentrieren kann. Dies ist also nicht mein erstes Konto im Fediverse. Aber dieses Mal möchte ich, dass es etwas persönlicher ist und vielleicht eine Verbindung zu meinem Leben außerhalb des Fediverse herstellt.

Die Hashtags machen mich ein bisschen zu einem Klischee eines Fediverse-Nutzers. Ich arbeite in der IT, ich benutze gerne #rustlang und bis zu einem gewissen Grad auch #nix/ #lix.

Ich genieße mein #het. Im Gegensatz zum Klischee habe ich meine Schwierigkeiten mit #GenderIdentität.

Ich denke, dass #antisemitismus ein echtes Problem ist. Also #GegenJedenAntisemitismus.

Oh, und ich interessiere mich für #marx istische #ökonomie und solche Sachen.

Ich habe einen Hintergrund in Musik und habe auch darüber ein bisschen philosophiert.

Und ich hasse die Romanisierung von Familienbeziehungen: #abolishfamily

Und last but not least ich habe eine Zeit lang in #Taiwan gelebt, und dort den rationalen Selbst- und Fremdschutz mit Hilfe von Masken schätzen gelernt.

#introduction
One thing I really like about the fediverse is that one can have multiple accounts to have a focus on which aspects one want to communicate about oneself. So this is not my first account in the fediverse. But this time I want it to be one that is a bit more personal that might connect to my outside of fediverse life.

In key words i am cliche of a fediverse user. I work in IT i like to use #rustlang and to some extend #nix/ #lix.

I am enjoying my #hrt. But unlike the cliche of that demographic I have my difficulties with #genderidentity.

I think that #antisemitism is a real problem. So #AgainstAllAntisemitism.

Oh and i am interested in #marxist economics and stuff like that.

I also have a history of making music and writing about it.

And i hate romanizations of family relations: #abolishfamily

And last but not least I lived for some Years in #Taiwan, and appreciated their rational use of masks to protect oneself and others.

Secret #retro-style #video game tip: #Lix

Lix is a puzzle game where your goal is to guide the walking lix to the exit by giving them abilities like building, digging, blocking, etc.

It’s a #Lemmings clone. And dare I say, the best one I know of.

It has many quality-of-life features like rewind, advancing the simulation by 1 step, etc. There’s even multiplayer.

so I just looked up the new FOD network isolation of #Lix (pasta). Their homepage immediately rose to my personal top 5 websites list:

passt - Plug A Simple Socket Transport

passt and pasta unprivileged (rootless) user-mode networking for VMs and containers, replacement for slirp, slirp4netns, libslirp, integrates with qemu, libvirt, Podman, Kata Containers

Why didn't anyone tell me that #lix is in #nixpkgs now and that I can use it without even having to include it in my flake inputs!?!!
