  1. @thelinuxcast All the best. Hope u start understanding the #declarative way of doing things in #NixOS with #Nix
    Here's a tip:
    Set users mutable to false. So that u declaratively do #everything in the #config #file instead of #imperative methods. Also give #hashed #passwords if u are #porting between another PCs and want them to #work similarly.
    To put it simply, do everything in nix #configurations to change the #state of the #system.

  2. @libreoffice It would be cool if you could design a strictly #append-only file format for documents, so that a #document consists of a sequence of #blocks that can be independently #hashed/#notarised. PDFs sort of work this way. At the moment, docs tend to get completely rewritten with every edit, meaning you lose #traceability to previous versions. You could achieve the same outcome by just appending the previous doc as an attachment to the current one, but that would get extremely inefficient as the number of edits increases.
