Amazon is probably the worst of all of these. The only reason prime exists is to lock you into their store for all your purchases, when shipping orders should be a discrete charge for each shipment. At least the rest of these (except for Adobe and Nintendo, who suck about as hard) give you access to their infrastructure that lets you access the entirety of the product they offer instantly, whenever you have an internet connection.

ScreaminOctopus,

The only thing he listed that isn’t a service is his Costco membership.

My God, 5$ for unlimited searches would have been expensive, but you only get 300! This thing would have to literally read my mind, and even then I don’t think it would be worth it

ScreaminOctopus,

Pay for a search engine so you can get in the habit of not using it? They’ve really got you lol

ScreaminOctopus,

Is there an rss feed for the current events page?

Is this Seagate Exos drive too good to be true?

I found this its the cheapest 10TB Exos drive on Newegg and looking to buy 4 of them. I will be putting them in my NAS that I use for my media library and pc backups. The price I’m posting this is $130, I’m also looking similar Exos drives that are $250 is there a difference? Should I shell up for the more expensive drives?

ScreaminOctopus,

I got a set off ebay, Jesus christ they’re loud. I ended up returning them cause I could hear the grinding through my whole house

Advantages to selfhosting a Lemmy instance?

So, as any self-respecting datahoarder and selfhoster, I have my server rack populated with a few machines, churning along as they tend to my hobby-related projects. Now that I’ve started using Lemmy I’m toying with the idea of selfhosting an instance, as I have both the hardware, bandwidth, and skillset for it....

An option to remove unauthenticated access to the main feed would be a great fix for the first issue, and probably would be desirable on single user/invite only instances where the admins don’t want random people taking up server resources with the web interface

NixOS beginner resources

Heya, been hearing about NixOS for a long time now, mostly from the peeps over at the Linux Unplugged podcast. So was thinking about jumping onto the nix-train, however it seems like it has a learning curve. Does anyone have any good learning resources, blog-posts, guides, whatever beans that you used to get started with NixOS?...

ScreaminOctopus,

If you’re interested in using flakes, this repo was helpful when learning how to get my first system configurations set up in an organized way github.com/Misterio77/nix-starter-configs

ScreaminOctopus,

Tried kagi due to all the yapping here on lemmy, 99% of the results are exactly the same as ddg, no matter what their “x% unique kagi results” says, which just strikes me as dishonest. If they’re going to lie to me about things I can check, why would I trust them when they say they don’t log or track?

There’s definitely some kind of astroturf marketing campaign going on here, this guy’s only interaction with the fediverse is posting a link to some softball piece review of an incredibly underwhelming service.

ScreaminOctopus,

It’s also a nightmare if you want your config to work with both nix and non nix platforms. If I’m using my config on windows or at work, I’m not going to have nix and home manager to interpret the nix version of my vim config. On my systems with home manager, I’d like be able to install my nvim config as part of home manager rebuild. If I have home manager pull my configs git repo, it causes lazy to freak out whenever I try to update my plugins. It’d be nice to have some sort of integration with lazy that exists with cargo and similar tools but it doesn’t look like anyone’s been working on it.
