New comment by joooscha in "Never disable Google Play protect"

I was wondering what you think about this. I have it disabled because it always flags the f-droid store. It's also very annoying when disabled, because it keeps asking to enable it, which is often a good sign that you actually don't want it.

Never disable Google Play protect

New comment by joooscha in "Typst: An easy to learn alternative for LaTex"

joooscha — Sat, 20 Jul 2024 13:34:09 +0000

At least for a tikz equivalent, I found cetz [1] to be very useful. I am not sure how it compares feature-wise. But I could easily build some graphs with it.

The one thing that really makes me excited when using Typst is that I find it very intuitive, meaning the time between not knowing how to do a certain thing and me being pleased with the result is much shorter with Typst compared to latex.

I created this after seeing a hacked-together setup based on newsboat. I really liked it, but wanted to create a program with such setups in mind.

Also, I wanted to learn Rust :P

This project is already a bit older and mostly finished, at least for my needs. But I always wanted to share it, but never came around to doing it.

I am happy for any feedback, and hope maybe for someone this might be useful.

New comment by joooscha in "NixOS Wiki – the unofficial user wiki"

The next big problem with NixOS documentation is that there are a lot of smaller tutorials scattered around the web. Every page with a different style, focus, and depth.

What we need is one central wiki, where any problem search can begin. This is what makes the Arch wiki so great.

One big issue with the NixOS wiki is that the maintainer of the web server is unresponsive for a long time [0]. Therefore, the wiki software is really out of date and using the page editor is a real pain in the butt [1].

I tried to write more for the wiki while learning things about NixOS. But it's so annoying to make changes that I eventually gave up.

I really like NixOS and Nix in general, it just lacks a central and organized, community maintained documentation like the Arch wiki. So, I hope either the maintainer will eventually become available again (unlikely IMO) and update the server, or we could mirror the current wiki on a new server.
