Glad someone caught that XD

I've been fully daily driving Linux for about 15 years now, and for me it's almost all Arch now.

I started out distro-hopping between Debian, Mint, Ubuntu, Slack, etc, but once I found Arch (and spent two weeks getting it installed, booted, and customized exactly to my liking) I was finally at home.

I know the meme. I'm not here to claim superiority, or diminish the value of other perfectly good distros. I love Debian, I love Void, Ubuntu can die in a fire, etc.

What I love about Arch is the lack of bloat. You get precisely what you ask for, no more, no less. You can legitimately run htop and recognize literally every program, and know if something's wrong immediately.

Every one of my Arch boxes is a perfect little snowflake, suited to exactly the task(s) I built it for. And if there was anything I had to learn or configure along the way? That's just the journey, man.

I have been eyeballing NixOS though...

I mean, you can just write a whole custom shell for this

I think you're trying to insinuate that the US government is the only one that's buying data from data brokers to spy on its own citizens. I hope we can both agree that that's bad and we don't like that idea, but I don't know what makes you think this isn't also happening elsewhere. Do you have reason to believe it's not?

Okay then

I use this, I will say, the latest version is vibecoded with AI and it shows. I'm sticking to the previous v0.8.x release, and forking from there.

Other than that, its a great project, and works well for my needs

Same... My brain was hungry for a puzzle to dig into and now its already over. Big sad.

Can't argue there!

Languages change over time, and we get to vote on which words we'd like changed by preferring cool ones over just "the way it has always been"

Calm your tits (meaning your birds), I say "daymon", and I relish any opportunity to offend the overly devout.

My reason is simple: I learned the word by reading it and sounding it out, and that's more badass than "haha I say demon because I'm edgy"

Then again, I'm sick and maybe I'm misreading it, if that's the case, my apologies.

Don't hate me here but this feels like that meme where the guy puts a stick in the spokes of his bike and blames the stick.

I think that's just a process problem, definitely depends on the specifics of your organization but I think if you raised that concern, you could probably come up with a solution that isn't quite so burdensome, while maintaining the maturity level of IaC.

And I hate to be that guy but that last sentence doesn't seem have much at all to do with IaC. Big shops can use IaC, so can small shops. In my case it's the latter, we just have so much tech spread across so many platforms that maintaining it purely via GUI is infeasible. IaC is simply the best way to go for us, due to the sheer number of moving pieces.
