  • The less diversity you have in any ecosystem, the more vulnerable you become, and there’s zero diversity at the top of the internet supply chain. You can pick any core area of the internet and you’ll find a very short list of companies in control.

    That natural conclusion of an absolutely free market is a monopoly. With no regulation, one company will end up dominating everything. I can only hope that over time we will have technologies that allow citizens to make big mesh networks.

    CrowdStrike is the closest we’ve come to a full-blown internet shutdown. Even with its unprecedented scale, however, the consequences lasted just a few days.

    Indeed. I bet you nothing important will come of this. Crowdstrike will survive, maybe with a scrape or two, but will continue to enjoy unfettered access to critical systems world-wide.

  • Quite the ride you had there. I rarely reinstall even if my system is borked and just fight through everything until it’s fixed. I can understand not having that kind of time though.

    This is when I realised I can’t recommend nixos to normal people. If for any reason you need to install sth. that is not in the packages you are fucked.

    💯

    After thinking about installing it on a friend’s laptop, I too ran into the issue of not finding some software and realised it would be me playing packager and package maintainer. It’s simple to install Debian and call it a day.

    However once I managed to get the update working i wasn’t able to login into x11 anymore and Wayland seems inperformant in gaming.

    This is definitely a reason I don’t want to use wayland yet. Maybe in a year or more it might become my main, but until then X11 it’ll have to be.

    However, why do you need to boot with NVIDIA? Does GPU passthrough not work if you don’t? What type of VM are you using? KVM?
