  5. NixOS Is Cool as Hell. Literally. ❄️🐧


    Declarative Linux configuration, cooler laptop temperatures, and why I'm falling in love with NixOS.

    Some Linux distributions make you productive.

    Some make you curious.

    And some make you spend three hours debugging a configuration file, question your life choices, finally fix it, and then proudly tell everyone that the experience was worth it.

    Welcome to NixOS.

    I'm running NixOS on my Acer Aspire 7, and I've discovered two reasons to love it. One is philosophical. The other is considerably more literal.

    NixOS is cool as hell, and my laptop feels cool, too.

    1. Philosophically cool: an operating system you can describe


    Most operating systems encourage you to configure things as you go.

    Install packages. Change settings. Enable services. Tweak the desktop. Repeat until everything works.

    NixOS approaches system configuration differently.

    Instead of treating your operating system as a collection of changes scattered across your machine, you can describe much of the desired system in configuration files.

    Want a particular kernel? Declare it.

    Need NVIDIA drivers? Configure them.

    Want specific applications, system services, and development tools? Define them.

    Then rebuild your system.

    sudo nixos-rebuild switch

    There is something beautiful about that approach.

    Your operating system becomes something you can inspect, version-control, and reproduce. With a well-maintained configuration, rebuilding your environment becomes much more predictable.

    You can experiment, track changes with Git, and roll back to an earlier system generation when an update goes wrong.

    It's not magic, and it doesn't capture every application setting or personal file automatically. But as a model for managing an operating system, it's genuinely elegant.

    Instead of merely using your computer, you're describing how you want it to exist.

    That is philosophically cool.

    2. Literally cool: my Acer Aspire 7


    Now for the other meaning of cool.

    My machine isn't exactly a low-powered office laptop.

    Here's the hardware:

    • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500U
    • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile
    • RAM: 16 GB
    • Storage: 512 GB NVMe SSD
    • Operating system: NixOS 26.05, codenamed Yarara
    • Display stack: Wayland

    This machine has enough power for development, Linux experimentation, and GPU workloads. It also has dedicated graphics hardware, which introduces another variable into the thermal equation.

    In my experience, my current NixOS setup has been pleasantly cool during everyday use.

    Less of that uncomfortable laptop warmth, a more pleasant working experience, and the satisfaction of having a system that feels right for my hardware.

    There is an important technical distinction here: NixOS doesn't automatically lower temperatures simply by being installed. CPU power management, GPU activity, background workloads, drivers, fan curves, and room temperature all matter.

    Still, a cool-running Linux machine is something worth appreciating, especially when you're using it for hours every day.

    And yes, I intend to measure temperatures rather than rely entirely on the highly scientific instrument known as my hands on the laptop chassis.

    3. The funny part: configuration hell is part of the attraction


    NixOS isn't always easy.

    You might want to install one package and end up learning about module options, package attributes, flakes, and configuration evaluation.

    A seemingly straightforward change can lead you down a documentation rabbit hole.

    Then something breaks.

    You investigate, adjust the configuration, rebuild, and try again.

    Eventually, it works.

    And somehow, instead of swearing off Linux forever, you find yourself wanting to configure even more of the system.

    That's the strange appeal of NixOS. It rewards curiosity, patience, and a willingness to understand what's happening underneath the desktop.

    The configuration files can be frustrating, but they also make the system feel like a project you genuinely own.

    4. Cool hardware and cool software belong together


    For me, the appeal isn't just about temperatures or declarative configuration in isolation.

    It's about having control.

    I can experiment with my Linux environment, learn how system components interact, customize my workflow, and build a setup that suits my hardware.

    When the laptop runs comfortably and the system behaves as expected, the experience gets even better.

    And when something breaks, at least I have a configuration I can inspect instead of trying to remember every change I've made over the last six months.

    That combination of control, reproducibility, and practical comfort is what makes NixOS so compelling to me.

    Final thoughts: cool in every sense that matters


    NixOS is philosophically cool because it challenges how you think about operating systems.

    It's technically cool because declarative configuration and reproducible system generations offer a powerful way to manage Linux.

    And in my experience, it's literally cool because my Acer Aspire 7 has been running pleasantly during everyday use.

    I'll still need consistent temperature measurements to establish whether my setup is actually cooler than my previous one. But the experience so far has given me another reason to keep exploring.

    NixOS isn't the easiest way to run Linux. It doesn't need to be.

    Sometimes the interesting part is learning to do things differently.

    Cool ideas. Cool configurations. Cool temperatures.

    What more could a Linux enthusiast want?

    Well, perhaps a configuration that builds successfully on the first try.

    We can dream. 🐧❄️

  6. 3/5 #Auspol #GodAndDemocracy

    Even if the joint standing committee has no power to make decisions or laws on its own, any adverse finding that the Brethren was actively involved in the election campaign will cause significant headaches for the church.  Under Commonwealth electoral laws, any individual or organisation, other than a political party, candidate or sitting parliamentarian, that actively spends or fundraises substantial amounts for the purposes of political advocacy or campaigning must register as a significant third party, as unions, peak industry bodies and lobby groups such as Advance or GetUp! are required to do, in order to limit their potential influence without strict financial oversight.
    If the Australian Electoral Commission, which is already conducting its own investigation into the Brethren’s activities, finds the church did in fact breach electoral laws, Laxale says that would prove the church’s electoral involvement and probably trigger a separate investigation by the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission, as charities cannot keep their tax-free status if they are found to have engaged in party political campaigning.
    This would deal a huge blow to the Brethren, as its enormous wealth and ecosystem of successful businesses and linked charities rely heavily on retaining the tax-free status.
    “It’s a matter for the AEC to determine whether or not they breached electoral law, so that’s not on the inquiry to do that. We don’t have the power to do that. We’re inquiring into the 2025 election, and obviously there was significant involvement from the Brethren,” Laxale says. “But my understanding is that investigations are ongoing between the AEC and the Brethren. Obviously, they would be interested in the evidence that our inquiry is getting from people who have written submissions but also the public hearings.
    “We’ve got our final report due and then it’ll be a matter for the AEC to determine whether or not electoral law was breached.”

    With Liberal and National members of the committee running what Monique Ryan said amounted to active interference on behalf of Bruce and Gareth Hales, Liberal MPs from the party’s moderate wing are openly questioning why the party is so keen to help an obscure sect that has only about 16,000 members in Australia and just over 50,000 worldwide.

    Michael Bachelard, a journalist at The Age who has led much of the reporting on the Brethren over the past two decades, traces the group’s involvement with the Liberal Party back to the mid 1970s, when Bruce Hales identified his local member of federal parliament, newly elected member for Bennelong John Howard, as a potential ally of the church.
    “The politician and the Brethren leaders had a mutual antipathy to trade unions, and a determination to minimise their influence in Australian life,” Bachelard wrote in his 2008 book Behind the Exclusive Brethren.

  7. 🤖 Tenhle týden se webaři PĚKNĚ ZAPOTILI – AI totiž našla kritickou chybu PHP, programovacím jazyce pohánějícím většinu webu, přičemž než lidi odhalené zranitelnosti zalátali, info o nich leaknulo a zahájilo HACKOVÁNÍ ROTYKU! 💩

    Vo co go – mašiny jsou poměrně dobré při ODHALOVÁNÍ BEZPEČNOSTNÍCH DĚR (a že jich je!), protože mají VĚTŠÍ TRPĚLIVOST na zkoušení MNOHA PŘÍSTUPŮ než ten nejsvatější člověk… 🥹

    Lidem využívajícím GPT-5.6 Sol a Gemini 4 Argon se tak podařilo odhalit DVOJICI ZRANITELNOSTÍ přezdívaných PHP2Shell – ty skrz chyby v nakládání s počítačovou pamětí mohly hackerům umožnit na dálku spouštět VLASTNÍ PŘÍKAZY NA SERVERU, a to i bez přihlášení… 😅

    Plán byl držet INFO POD POKLIČKOU, než se podaří chyby zalátat – jenže INFO LEAKNULO dřív, než na to došlo. Stejně jako se chyby neodhalily samy o sobě, ale lidi to mašinám musely zadat, jiní lidé daných chybek využili pro vlastní nekalé učely. U nás tak došlo třeba na shození webu ČVUT, kde se na pár dnů museli vrátit do ANALOGOVÉHO REŽIMU! (⊙ _ ⊙ ) Ačkoliv PHP2Shell bude mít asi šťastný konec, ukazuje způsob, jak se s mašinama proměňuje kyber(ne)bezpečnost – co hledači zranitelností dřív mohlo zabrat měsíce expertní práce, zvládli fčil s AI během dnů až týdnů.

    A nejde jen o obranu – bezpečnostní firma Palo Alto Networks už zaznamenala také využití AI při následných aktivitách útočníků. AI tak může pomáhat díry v internetu ZÁPLATOVAT, ale taky je MNOHEM RYCHLEJI zneužívat… 🫠 #ai #umelainteligence #kyberbezpečnost

    About

    Following acclaimed performances in Athlone, Castlebar, Ballinrobe and Galway, The Crucified Silence comes to Manchester on Sunday 22nd November at 6pm, bringing a distinctive voice from the West of Ireland to the iconic Irish World Heritage Centre.

    Hilarious, heartbreaking and brimming with dark Irish humour, The Crucified Silence is a compelling one-man play written and performed by acclaimed Irish playwright Mick Donnellan. Set in Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo, the story follows Joe, a local guard who has crossed a line after a volatile altercation with his superintendent. As he drinks his way around town, he conjures vivid, nostalgic images of familiar landmarks and meeting places, including The Bowers walk, Art O’Neill’s Bar and Geoff’s pub. These recollections bring his world to life, drawing audiences into a community shaped by its own rhythms, rituals and relationships.

    Yet beneath the laughter lies a deeply moving story of loneliness, loss, regret and the search for connection. Just as Joe’s sharp wit and comic observations have audiences laughing, glimpses of his troubled past reveal a more vulnerable man struggling to come to terms with the life he has lost. The result is a play that can have you laughing out loud one moment and breaking your heart the next.

    Populated by recognisable Irish characters and brought vividly to life through authentic Irish dialect, cultural nuances and a rich tradition of storytelling, the play offers a compelling glimpse into the humour, warmth and complexities of everyday life in rural Ireland. For those familiar with Irish life, there is much to recognise; for those discovering it for the first time, an opportunity to experience a distinctive culture through characters who feel wonderfully real.

    The Venue

    A much-loved hub for Irish culture, arts and community in the North West of England, the Irish World Heritage Centre provides a fitting setting for a play that celebrates Irish storytelling while exploring experiences that transcend borders and backgrounds.

    For Manchester’s Irish community, the evening offers a powerful sense of home, evoking the people, places, humour and shared experiences that connect us to where we come from. It is also a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the strength of Irish theatre and the remarkable stories being created in Ireland and finding audiences beyond its shores.

    Universal Appeal

    Although Joe’s world may be rooted in a small town in Co. Mayo, his struggles are universal. His attempts to make sense of a life shaped by difficult choices, personal loss and fading connections will resonate with anyone, from all cultures and backgrounds, who has ever looked back on their past and wondered how things might have turned out differently.

    With minimal staging and intimate, uncompromising storytelling, the play places audiences face to face with Joe’s inner world, where humour becomes a defence against pain and silence can speak louder than words. Mick Donnellan’s powerful central performance draws audiences towards a devastating climax, balancing theatrical intensity with the feeling of a deeply personal confession.

    All are welcome to join for an evening of big laughs, poignant storytelling, heartbreaking moments and an unforgettable injection of high-quality theatre!

    About Truman Town:

    Truman Town Theatre exploded on to the theatrical circuit with their Play – Sunday Morning Coming Down. Written and directed by the company’s Artistic Director Mick Donnellan, it immediately sold out the Galway Town Hall Studio for five nights on the first run. Following that, the crew went on tour to Mayo, selling out Lisloughrey Lodge, Cong,The Valkenburg Niteclub, Ballinrobe and the Linenhall in Castlebar. It also enjoyed large audiences on the Main Stage on Galway’s Town Hall and went on a National Tour covering – Glor Ennis, St. John’s Listowel, Cork Arts Theatre and it sold out five nights at The New Theatre, Dublin. It was also performed by DRUID as a public reading during the Galway Arts Festival.

    Truman Town followed this phenomenal success with a second Play – Shortcut to Hallelujah. Again, written and directed by Mick Donnellan, it deals with the curse on the Mayo football team. It sold out the Town Hall Studio, went on tour to Ballinrobe and the Linenhall in Castlebar and then down to St. John’s Theatre, Listowel Co. Kerry where it was requested back to headline Friday night of Listowel Writer’s week.

    Between this, a third drama was produced as part of the Galway Theatre Festival. It was titled Gun Metal Grey.

    Shortcut to Hallelujah returned from Listowel Writer’s Week to perform on the Main Stage Galway for a wildly successful five nights after which Velvet Revolution, the fourth Truman Town production, also written by Mick Donnellan, was premiered in St. John’s Theatre, Listowel. It went on tour to Kilmallock, Kenmare and Waterville, then up to Ballinrobe, on to Galway and ran for ten days as part of the Galway Fringe. Mentioned as a Highlight of the festival by the Irish times, it was subsequently performed in Campbell’s Tavern, Cloghanover, Headford, Electric Picnic and The New Theatre, Temple Bar, Dublin.

    Radio Luxembourg, Mick’s fifth Play, was bought by a London Film Company (Dixon/Baxi/Evans) and has been adapted for the screen. The title for the movie version is “Tiger Raid”. Starring Brian Gleeson, Damian Molony and Sofia Boutella, it was accepted into the Tribeca film festival (New York) and was seen at Cannes and Edinburgh. The Irish Premiere was screened at the Galway Film Fleadh.

    Currently Mick is working on the exciting screen adaptation of Shortcut to Hallelujah with Florence Films. The screenplay is titled Sam and is based around the curse supposedly put on the Mayo Football team as they returned home as All Ireland Champions in 1951.  Drenched in Irish lyricism and modern day dark humour, the script has been met with keen interest by film producers and actors throughout the industry.

    Between writing projects, Mick has enjoyed roles as a lecturer in writing at University of Ireland and TUS Athlone.

  10. If anyone has some favorite Zigbee controls, I'm all ears

    I want to know about all the buttons, knobs, sliders or other weird fixtures!

  11. With a little bit of capital and a goal, it feels like there's a lot of excellent talent to build something worthwhile.

    What would you build if you had a livable wage and health insurance?

  12. I ordered a hardware random number generator from the US (I'd have preferred the UK or EU but couldn't find the right product).

    So far the only thing random about it is the delivery path. It's going all over the US and just sitting in depots.

    Americans pride themselves on their commerce abilities but they don't seem able to ship much outside their country.

    Three weeks so far. I have a project launch waiting on this.

  13. Instagram is chasing YouTube with a push into long, widescreen video.

    The new format, called Features, arrives after Adam Mosseri spent years resisting long-form on the platform.

    Would you watch long videos on Instagram, or is that still YouTube's job?

  14. Was loving my Pebble 2 but it now appears to be b0rked.

    Can't charge it, can't get it back on. Super disappointing to lean into a device and then have it fail this way

    I'll look into troubleshooting but, I really don't want that kind of hassle.

  15. Opensource Subreddit banned AI and non-English posts... theverge.com/ai-artificial-int
    Well I erased Reddit from my brain now.
    Banning the future and other cultures is overly stupid.

  16. Holy crap... This just took a sharp turn. 2005. I worked for Centennial's IT department that year. I was involved in this investigation, albeit from a purely technical standpoint. I'm getting a behind-the-scenes look at something *I lived!*

  17. Aaaand my sister-in-law is mentioned. Awesome.

  18. Settling in to listen to a "true crime" podcast about my hometown. And my high school. And a classmate I graduated with. And teachers we had who did very bad things... 😬

    At my child's birthday party today the Dad of one of the guest kids and I were talking. Quick mentions about current work status.
    I'm not in tech now, except for the odd small tech support one-off jobs.
    He's long term with a very large tech, info-coms Org. But not a developer as I was/am.
    He proceeded to "enlighten" me about how easy programming is more with Claude as long as you know a bit about coding. How you don't really need to learn much at all. How he's making powershell scripts to run 'reset to baseline' operations on their division devices now.
    All the while, I'm smiling and generally trying to not make a scene at my kid's birthday party.

    I think I'll be getting a set of T-Shirts printed with messages to the effect of
    "If you talk to me about AI,
    I'll scream and I won't stop."

  21. FFS. Wife's Android phone updated to 17 and the Samsung Email app doesn't support the local access permission needed to access the mail server when on the home network.

    Like, does no one fucking think about these things? Is a local mail/exchange server something completely unheard of?

  22. Our log ingest has finally caught up, it looks like the home.social site has been effectively DOS'ing us since the 17th with between 100,000 and 500,000 hits per 12 hours.

    Given the entire site seems (Unless a can tell me otherwise) a giant scraper that I've just missed up to now we're going to probably just block the IP and user agent and hopefully that'll see the site get significantly more stable.
