NixOS tests are pretty cool!

I've been fixing an issue where, if you do a deployment to a remote machine (with 'nixos-rebuild switch --target-host=foo'), and the connection would get broken off during the 'switch', the switch would be aborted - worst-case leading to that connection not getting restored.

I initially tested this manually, with the Raspberry Pi I encountered this problem with, which was elaborate and painful (especially when I got something wrong and the connection was lost). What's more, this would be useless to someone reviewing my code, as they don't have my pi sitting on their desk.

I now recreated the situation in a NixOS test, which spins up 2 VM's and exercises them with some Python code. Very smooth, and there's also an 'interactive' mode where you get access to the Python REPL and the consoles of the QEMU VM's for manual inspection and manipulation.

I'm releasing my first Firefox extension hm-containers which allows you to configure certain sites to automatically open in certain Firefox containers using home-manager.

I plan to write a blog post in the near future going over in more detail how I set up my Firefox home-manager config, which this extension is part of.

VRChat 예전에 했던 사람으로서 단평

외형이라는 요소가 어떤 의미로는 강제 평준화된 세상이라서, 말투나 매너같은게 더 중요한..? 그런 느낌은 신선했음

근데 결국 관계가 고이려고 하면 "하하 난 현실에서도 이렇게 잘 지내지롱" 을 노골적으로 표내는 사람과 "여기서는 건설적이고 현실적인 이야기 ㄴㄴ" 같은 사람으로 묘하게 나뉘는게 스트레스였달까

I was going to write some joke about wrapping in stacks and wrapping presents for Christmas but I can’t bring myself to do it. Stacks can wrap in Sketch now, even if they’re vertical stacks. Go check it out. That’s it. That’s the post.

Nicht vergessen: hier könnt Ihr unterstützen und unkompliziert Geld gegen Gutscheinkarten tauschen, oft sogar ganz normal zur Ladenöffnungszeit:

bezahlkarte-nein.de/vouchers/g

Ich war heute Einkaufen und schicke gern ein "Fickt Euch" an eine Politik von "Bürger*innen", die sich nicht schämt, die Hilfsbedürftigsten zu drangsalieren.

Das könnt Ihr auch!

research on modern fascism

This book just came out and it's really interesting:

deutschlandfunkkultur.de/amlin

My main takeaways are that

- neoliberal hustle culture turns you into a fascist, especially if it doesn't turn you rich
- society has stopped working for society-wide progress and instead works for rich people to become even richer. This turns people into fascists
- we really desperately need a positive vision of the future to strive towards. Not having one turns people into fascists
- fascists cannot be convinced with facts and logic because they base their decisions on gut feelings
