  • Sure, but let’s call it what it is: fascism. We need to stop inventing fancy names for things that have existed for a century.

    There is a difference, but largely in the industry whose capital backs this new fascism. In the 1920s and ‘30s, the dominant / ascendant form of capital was manufacturing capital, so those were the biggest backers of German fascism (both in Germany and the US). In our time in the US, the ascendant capital is big tech, but most of their assets are in cloud computing. This will inform the face it puts forward, so it does change the modes and styles of its propaganda, but you best believe the same fascist goals are at the heart of it all. So I say: call it fascism.

    Yeah, that paragraph is where I stopped reading lol

    Blog post aside, NixOS is fantastic. Once you get the Nix DSL down, it makes everything so smooth once you know how to configure your system. The learning curve for me came not from the packages, but learning how to set up system/program configurations using configuration.nix, instead of the standard config files. But once you get that down, you can rebuild essentially the exact same system from a single file. I use it for my worker nodes on my server cluster, and it makes setup of new nodes a dream. Definitely recommend.
