men get very clear, straightforward instructions. like "bring your foldable chair in the car and put it exactly here". women get "figure out a side dish for 30 people" that sprawls into an incredibly deep decision tree

Happy Holidays to all who celebrate,
in one way or another! 🎄✨

Whether it's spending time with your family, your chosen family, your friends, your partner(s), resting by yourself, treating yourself with some candy canes while at work, or posting on the Fediverse with us! :awesome:

No matter the reason for our social gatherings, they all play an essential role in strengthening the human bonds that unite us, and building communities.

Take this time to dream of a future where humanity values empathy, community, equality, consent, and solidarity above all 💚

This year the to is going to be a distributed system 🐙🚋

We’re doing this completely on a voluntary basis, so if anyone has professional skills or connections, they would be very welcome!

In the long run we want to make it so even those who would otherwise have a hard time to afford it, can travel to ecologically and in good company. If anyone wants to sponsor, that would be amazing.

The First Photographs of Snowflakes Discover the Groundbreaking Microphotography

The First Photographs of Snowflakes: Discover the Groundbreaking Microphotography of Wilson “Snowflake” Bentley (1885)

What kind of a blighted society turns the word “snowflake” into an insult?, I sometimes catch myself thinking, but then again, I’ve never understood why “treehugger” should offend.

Because with Nix you define your whole system as a Nix expression, it should be possible to get an inventory of everything for further analysis - for example for vulnerability scanning.

Of course it's never quite that easy! There's a lot of potential, but also a lot of work remaining before we can get a nice signal-to-noise ratio without missing things.

I wrote up an introduction to and summary of the current state of SBOM tools for NixOS, including nice clickable example output. Still a bit of a draft, I expect updates - feedback welcome!

one of the browsable SBOMs: a tree of the run-time dependencies of 'nethogs' and the start of the 'raw' SBOM itself.
