Will be moving this account over to @mcg shortly. Hopefully everything migrates as expected.
@tom30519 Autumn is also my absolute favorite time of the year. I wish I living in a place that showed off the season as much as this.
@mhoye It looks promising to me. It does have a steep learning curve, compared to Brew/Ports.
@[email protected] A bunch of these were purchased and transported by the US gov as well.
@mhoye It’s a declarative package manager and full distro. It officially supports macOS and the install docs will walk you through an install. Probably slightly out of date now, but might be a good starting point, https://wickedchicken.github.io/post/macos-nix-setup/ I use Home-Manager along with Nix to have a more portable setup, You can also do things like… open this shell with this set of tools installed, when the shell closes, the tools are gone. Can replace tools like rbenv/virtenv, etc…
MacOS Nix Setup (an alternative to Homebrew)

I recently got a new Macbook, and began setting up the Nix package manager to install my developer toolset. I mainly did this to try and have a working setup without installing Homebrew. Since I ran into a few issues, I wanted to briefly document what I did and why in case others wanted to try the same. Why Nix? (and why not Homebrew or MacPorts?) The short answer: hype.

@mhoye Recently switched from Brew to Nix. Can recommend Nix.
@matthewbischoff Not at all. I have edited a message a couple of times tho.

Since #37C3 is confirmed ( https://content.events.ccc.de/cfp/37c3/index.en.html ), I'm thinking about submitting a talk about the narratives hackers choose to describe themselves. Let me know what you think about these titles:

1. Hackers' narratives on themselves and why they are important

2. How cyberpunk stories can hurt hackers and their communities

3. The death of a Cyberpunk hacker - the birth of a Solarpunk one

4. Cyberpunk is Deprecated. We need a new language

#solarpunk #cyberpunk #ccc

37C3 Call For Participation

A New "Day in the Life of Micro.blog" Photo Challenge for 2022

The Micro.blog community loves photo challenges. We’ve done several month-long challenges with new prompts posted everyday. We also did a special 24-hour challenge in October 2020. Modeled on the award-winning “A Day in the Life of…” series, the challenge is a collection of photos taken during one 24-hour day, a little snapshot of the community and the world we inhabit. (The 2020 photos are still available to view in this special challenge photo collection.
