I use AdGuard and Vinegar Extract (Vinegar without the adblock part). IIRC those are free and work well for me, so try them first.

I have the QNAP TL-D800S. It’s an 8 bay DAS but there is also a 4 bay variant. Works well for me. It uses SFF cables to connect to the PC and comes with the appropriate PCIe card which seems more robust to me than anything USB for this.

It probably should be easier, but there needs to be a set process for doing it correctly.

Absolutely not, it’s a massive violation of people’s autonomy already.

Someone is in a mental health crisis, but not threatening themselves or others? Street Response pulls up instead of the cops.

but they can't have someone committed.

Which, in my mind, kind of defeats the purpose.

I think it’s completely unacceptable to involuntarily commit people that aren’t even threatening anyone. Let alone “threatening themselves” which is equally a concept that goes against autonomy and should not be a valid reason for commitment either. And I’m not even talking about how often abused this is in practice.

I’ve submitted at least 8 bug reports to them since Oct 2023 (and also many suggestions) through their feedback app. No response to any of them until now. The only closed bugs I closed myself because the problem went away in an update.

I’m pretty sure they don’t have any bug triager whatsoever.

I’ll keep doing it out of spite and because it’s what I do for open-source as well, but I’m really not sure if it has any effect at all.

Do you mean you’re changing that file in /usr? Don’t do that, that is managed by the package manager and will get overwritten on updates. Awesomewm very likely has a way to run a command on startup, use that.

Very true haha. NixOS is great and the best I've got right now but I would lie if I said it has never been painful.

Especially for desktop use I want to build my own distro which takes a lot from NixOS, mostly in terms of the central configuration but not much else (I definitely want a more sane package installation situation where you don't need stuff like wrapper scripts which are incredibly awful imo), but also other distros, and also with some unconventional things (such as building it around GNUstep). But who knows if that ever gets off the ground, I have way too many projects with enormous scale...

Seconding this. Take a look at the unshare program and user namespaces.

Tying it to domains is very cool actually imo.

Also if you don’t like it, you’re using the meme template wrong. The blue guy usually makes the only reasonable suggestion.

First thing I'd try is to use a "period-correct" nixpkgs commit for the libraries. It might even have the package already.

Oooh, I love both middle right and bottom right, but I think I prefer middle right.
