This seems like the right answer to me. Whether or not you decide to dual boot, make one of these USB keys so you can recover if something goes wrong.

This seems like the right answer to me. Whether or not you decide to dual boot, make one of these USB keys so you can recover if something goes wrong.
When I was using Debian I found I could generally get the latest version of software I wanted from Nix if it wasn’t in the main Debian repos, or was outdated. Nix works quite well on any Linux distro - it doesn’t interfere with the rest of the system.
All I can tell you is that this is done differently for each shell. So decide whether you want completions for bash, zsh, fish, all of the above, or whatever, and look at the docs for the relevant shells.
This is why I switched to labelling USB sticks with two-character codes, and I keep a file that lists the current content of each stick.
I think this is good advice. Don’t over-think it!

Anyone else read these newsletter titles in Pixlriff’s voice? “This week, in Hermitcraft Gnome!”
Modern frameworks like Playwright do a good job of avoiding those waits. So the tests are less flaky, and are faster.

iOS also supports third-party passkey managers so that’s an alternative to Android for helping to fill gaps creating passkeys.
Nice! I may take a look. I’ve been happy with Enpass except that I recently switched to a window manager that doesn’t implement xwayland, and Enpass is one of only two apps that I haven’t gotten working in native wayland mode, or found a substitute for. So I’ve been running Enpass in a rootful xwayland window running a nested i3 session. The IPC connection to the browser extension still works so it’s not too bad, but I’m a little tempted to try alternatives.
I forgot to mention that to use a passkey manager on Android in addition to setting that Chrome feature flag you also need to set the app as your passkey manager. That’s done at the system level in Settings > Passwords & accounts > Passwords, passkeys, and data services
FYI I’ve been running Steam and Wine games in Gamescope because I’m using a window manager that doesn’t implement XWayland. I don’t know if that would help with Nvidia, but might be worth a try. It works ok; Gamescope has a Steam integration switch that helps.
I think Electron apps mostly switch to native Wayland mode if you set an environment variable, ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=wayland
. The one I don’t have working in Wayland mode is Discord. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/wayland#Electron
A commit
followed by a reset
or commit --amend
later is one more step than a worktree --add
. Plus there have been lots of times when I’ve had some changes staged, and some unstaged debugging or experimental changes that I want to make sure not to commit, and thinking about how to pack all that away neatly so I could get back where I was seemed sufficiently obnoxious that I avoided doing whatever would have required a quick branch switch. Worktree would have let me pick up where I left off without having to think about it.
I’ve been using the newer commands like switch
and restore
for a while. But I learned a few things here that will indeed make my work easier.
They list the “mailing list support” feature as “WIP” so maybe the plan is to accept patches by email in the future?
I read a few articles. I think Andres Freund’s announcement gave me the best context for the exploit itself. https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/03/29/4

Yes, this is what I think of when I think of a “dead man’s switch”. It relates to the concept of a physical device that deactivates or activates if you let go of a switch, like a light saber for example.
I think an interval of weeks would be more convenient than hours to avoid false positives. But I think Patrick Stewart’s character did daily check-ins in the movie Safe House. The dead man’s switch was actually the central plot point in that movie.
Probably not directly helpful, but Nix packages for Chromium and Electron apps are set up so that you can switch to native Wayland mode globally by setting an environment variable,
NIXOS_OZONE_WL=1
I don’t know of any global setting that isn’t distro-specific.
