Yeah, I'm planning to ask around on the NixOS matrix channel when I have some time. Hopefully they'll end up knowing the root of the issue.

@raboof

Ooh, that's a good point. I think I saw one.

@Cloud68
Good on ya for making the change.

I ended up on Codeberg, myself; I wanted a Gitea instance (of which Codeberg was one) because they're working on ActivityPub federation. Gitea was having some issues, though, so Codeberg forked it to make Forgejo, for which it seems federation is an even higher priority. Excited about what that'll bring!

@JRLarsen
Huh, I thought they'd already done that through https://frame.work/linux

@JRLarsen
Well I know @matthartley is their Linux Support person, so I'd assumed it was already in a more official state.

@Wyatt
Yeah, I thought it might resonate with you. :)

My personal favorite is https://xkcd.com/378/.

Here's what I get from it all:

~] top -bn1 |grep -A9999 "^ *PID " |awk '{foo+=$9} END {print foo}'
24.9
~] nix-shell -p lm_sensors

[nix-shell:~]$ sensors |grep ^Package
Package id 0: +43.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

[nix-shell:~]$ grep -m1 ^model.name /proc/cpuinfo
model name : 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1240P

@RL_Dane
I feel like if you're trying to communicate load, this works better?

~] uptime
21:04:14 up 3:44, 0 users, load average: 0.14, 0.18, 0.17

I mean, I guess you have to understand what the load averages mean.

@RL_Dane
Hmm, interesting, I think for me in the past they've been relatively correlated.

@RL_Dane
Ah, I miss the days when Windows Task Manager would give me a nice simple graph of my CPU usage from 1 to 100. I was so naive then.

@RL_Dane @living8bit

I like dorm life, but that's maybe just the me who doesn't drive and likes being able to roll out of bed and be showered, dressed, and at class within 30 minutes. Also it might be nicer in a dorm where all residents are Honors students than in one with more rowdy residents. ;)

@RL_Dane @living8bit

As a TCK, I belong to neither of those cultures; TCKs have their own "third" culture that they only share with each other. While TCKs often have a hard time building relationships with what I've heard jokingly termed "monoculturals," we can become BFFs with another TCK in ten seconds flat. Even me, and I'm a strong introvert.

@RL_Dane @living8bit
Hmm I'll explain better. Basically, there are two outside cultures you're exposed to as a TCK: your "home" culture and your "host" culture. In many cases like my own, there are multiple host cultures, but it's the same idea.
...

@RL_Dane @living8bit
Oh and his blog is what inspired me to start blogging myself, so there's that.

@RL_Dane @living8bit
(TCK being "Third Culture Kid"—people like me who grow up in cultures that are not their "home" cultures)

@RL_Dane @living8bit
(To give you an illustration of his awesomeness: he's a German teacher of English literature who says "y'all" because he believes it's the most grammatically-sensical solution for plural second person and his argument behind it convinced me to start doing the same)

@living8bit @RL_Dane
Well in my case I'll be a Sophomore Advisor for the University Honors program here, so nothing fancy, but I do get to help some smart fish through their first year. And it sounds like we might get paid a bit, if they feel like it.

@living8bit @RL_Dane
Ha, I'm a student not a teacher, but that does sound awesome. ;)

I will be an instructor for a class next semester but I don't do any of the grading work or have any say in the curriculum so I probably don't have that status on Canvas.

@RL_Dane @living8bit
Yeah! Best part to me is I get to stay in the same dorm, which is normally only for Honors Freshmen. It's a great location and some of the largest rooms on campus. ;)
