So what Matter is to Thread, Reticulum is to LoRa?

Nah, Reticulum is a agnostic to the underlying communication mediums. It can work over telegraph lines even

Did you ask Claude to write this comment too?

lol, so disappointing to see the attacks when I'm just having some fun.

It would probably had been fine had you just not put the "hand written" part.

Yes, agree. I laughed at that when I first saw it last week. I went ahead and cleared all that up on the homepage and the README now.

You haven’t even wrote readme yourself?

Funnily enough he removed hand written part also by Claude. Just wow.

That's already the case in determinate-nix. Flakes do have big problems though - try cloning a big data project with GBs of data and see how much you love flakes when it copies it to the store every time you run `nix run .#analysis`.

It's annoying, sure, but it's not worth disabling SIP.

Why?

You want to be aware of your surroundings.

We're like a paranoid child terrified that anyone that enters our room is going to steal our Lego, so we must be left alone!

Nobody wants our Lego.

You know, if aliens are like Americans and we have oil....

I'm only half-joking.

But this is my point — it would take hundreds, or even thousands of years for aliens to get here. To do that they'd need some sort of abundant fuel source.

Let's say they have had thousands of years of Nuclear Fusion, for example, it wouldn't surprise me if they could produce any elements they need by fusing hydrogen.

But let's say they didn't, and they do in fact see Earth as a rare jewel full of precious materials... the logistics of taking our natural resources just seems like a joke. Surely the juice isn't worth the hundreds of years of planning and logistics squeeze.

I used to buy this dark forest idea, because it's scary and exciting, but I think the biggest mistake is projecting our behaviours onto extra-terrestrials.

If they wanted to destroy Earth they'd just slightly nudge a big asteroid in our direction and be done with it.

I'm curious why you'd use pi-hole in combination with Unbound instead of using blocklists and stats that Unbound has built in?

I don't know about unbound's blocklists and stats or indeed much about unbound at all.

This: https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/unbound/ was stupidly simple, pi-hole has a gui that I was already used to and it all works great. So I think about and study other things that need fixing/improving in my life instead.

To flip it, why would I use unbound without pi-hole? What's the win I haven't seen (or even looked at or considered?)

> To flip it, why would I use unbound without pi-hole? What's the win I haven't seen (or even looked at or considered?)

In my experience, the fewer moving parts the better.

I run Unbound on my OPNsense router, and it uses the same blocklists as Pi-hole and the stats page (blocked domains, DNS requests, etc) are the same afaict.

But you still need something to do your dhcp, so maybe not fewer moving parts? Dunno.

I did pi-hole first, then much later decided to use unbound for dns because it looked super easy to add it. It was. Haven't thought about it much since. I hope your experience was as good or better.

What is multiplication if not adding over time?

I have been looking into Desktop Linux recently because macOS has taken a bit of a quality dip. GNOME - I'm never going to pronounce it guh-nome, please stop, it's embarrassing - seems to have a strong alignment with the old macOS philosophy. It's opinionated.

It also clearly copies macOS: Epiphany and the Settings app being prime examples.

I installed NixOS on an old T2 MacBook Pro, and it's... awful. Things just don't work, or don't work properly. It actually reminds me of running macOS on PCs back in the day (osx86, etc). GNOME 49 is headed in the right direction I think, but Desktop Linux is still in an absolute state.

whats a T2 MacBook Pro?

It’s an Intel MacBook with an Apple T2 Security Chip.
