The joke is the absurd and funny statement, "ladies, my wife is single (and you should date her (implied))". Basically they are best friends who broke up and now they are supporting the other dating by joking absurdity of the situation.

What method are you using to mount the nas for immich. I ran into issues trying to mount my Nas using docker volume+sshfs but ran into zero problems using docker volume/cifs. With sshfs, immich would run until it suddenly stopped working and backups would constantly fail. Restarting the server would cause it to run for a little time longer.

Ah yeah that should be good. I've never had issues with NFS

What's the best way to support you? You list multiple ways to support you (Kofi, librepay, etc). Do you know which one gives you the best split?

Wow I love your art. I can't get over how good it is. I feel like I have to create something because of how inspiring it is. I'll see if I can find some time this week. Wow again incredible art!

What does the addon do?

Wow. I immediately hate this but love that you made it. (Also I would totally eat it given the chance)

Love it but I can't get over the gap between the debian logo and rainbow

Nemo/most file explorers have a remote server option. For nemo, "Files > Connect to server". Once configured, you should be able to view your server files from your file explorer and uploading files should be as easy as drag and drop. I'm pretty sure nautilis has something similar too!

It's not the best for security because if someone gets your computer, they can access your server through the file explorer. But it's fast and convenient if you are already using your file explorer.

what! thats so dumb xD. so ftps stands for file transfer protocol secure, and sftp stands for ssh file transfer protocol? we have reached recursive acronyms.

Okay this has made it so much worse. i figured that the s in https and ftps stands for secure like a reasonable person. of course it doesnt xD. you would think that this is at least consistent but alas. guess what s in ssh doesnt stand for :)

What's up with the ux design of nix? I get it's made for advanced users but still. I'm reading through this guide and man it's convoluted.

The different ways of installing packages. Either through editing the configuration.nix or running a command.
The weird inconsistency of nix commands. nix-env -iA to install and nix-env --uninstall to uninstall. Then updating uses nix-channel --update but upgrade uses nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade. All this to use the package manager. Also haven't even mentioned flakes or home manager.

It's a cool OS, but the UX really needs work imo.

[Edit]
I do wanna add something else too because I feel like my point isn't getting across.

It's okay to have a complicated ui. Especially if your target audience are tech-savvy. But even tech-savvy people have to start as new users. A tech-savvy new user isn't going to know what the best practices are. Being able to anticipate the steps for installing a package is important for ux. If the commands for installing packages isn't cohesive/intuitive, then the user has to spend more time looking for guides and learning how to use the software.

People also mentioned a new command in the works. This is great! However, these current commands are being recommended through blogs and nix. New users won't know about this new command.

Oh that's good that they are addressing those issues with a new command. Hopefully it gets into stable soon.

Might be that nix-env -iA is bad practice! I'm strictly talking about ux design here and nix-env -iA is being recommend by blogs and nix themselves. (Nixpkgs tells you how to install using nix-env -iA)

A new user isn't going to know what bad practice is.

I think both nix-env and flakes are designed with making package management easier. Nix-env tries to make it intuitive and familiar for new users. Flakes improve package management by simplifying the configuration.

Personally I would love to see syntax highlighting, language server, code completion. Maybe all in a dedicated application which is configured to give the easiest experience for new users. If nix is intended to be managed through config files, then the experience of writing a config should be as easy as possible.

How was the pizza base? I sometimes get a soggy base when I make pizza. Did you use a pizza stone?

Wowow stunning

Yess! You are so right and people should hear it!

Also I feel like social media and modern news networks have hugely reinforced this "tribalism". Unfortunately, negative news always does better than positive news so I can't see news/social media platforms turning around and trying to slow down this effect.
