  • Ich als ziemlich introvertierte Person denke dann immer: Vielleicht sollte ich mich offener (queer und) antifaschistisch zeigen. Also zB durch Anstecker. Das ist nicht viel, aber vielleicht besser als nichts. Denn es darf nicht passieren, dass Nazi-Positionen normalisiert werden in öffentlichen Räumen, nur weil sie eben sichtbarer (oder hörbarer) sind.

    Naja, und eben kollektiv denken. Also bevor du alleine was sagst, und Angst hast, verprügelt zu werden, denke ich hilft es, mal die Situation bei anderen Leuten anzusprechen und Aufmerksamkeit zu schaffen.


  • I’ve also been distro-hopping, but settled on NixOS. I find it very clean, you know exactly where your (system-level) configuration files are (…and could even manage user-level config files using home-manager). There is a stable branch, which is, well, stable. And even if it wasn’t, you can rollback the system at any point, which is trivial (just select a different generation during boot).

    One of the biggest advantages for me is universal reproducible working environments. Using Nix+direnv, I can lock all tools (make, gcc, JupyterLab, Python, Julia) that I’m using in a project to specific versions (and upgrade/rollback). I can install programs/libraries in a nix shell and they will be removed on the next garbage collection. Upgrades are extremely safe: I once had a problem with RAM that corrupted a lot of my files during an upgrade. Nix can detect and repair this.

    Downside is that Nix doesn’t follow FHS, so some programs need a little help, for example by Nix’ steam-run.
