    At least, for me, Nix was never attractive, and it should be by all means, the features it provides. I still see this as an alternative, where I’m more than satisfied with my bash scripts and git repos, syncthing backups to rebuild the whole system.

    And, on the second part, this schism that happened in Nix is the same recipie that happened in other projects. I just find it funny.







  • I’ve worked on both, and as long as I can plug the laptop in a nice monitor, with keyboard and mouse I don’t care that much. Laptops great for mobility, and the keyboard and trackpad, well you get used to it, and doesn’t bother you that much. For myself, its wfh and then going to the office, isn’t a big deal, all stuff is on the laptop and things are synced if I need to do disaster recovery. It depends on the situation, would you benefit from it. if not, desktop’s fine


  • I’d say, what kind of security are you talking about? Apart from standard HTTPS to keep things encrypted, there are other layers if you want to keep your service exposed to the internet.

    Also how things are installed and if they are correct, proper file permissions. nothing different than having it on the server somewhere. You just need to keep thing up to date and you’ll be fine.
