# what_i_hate

Nix

  • Nixlang is a DSL (We hate DSLs)
  • Nixlang could very easily have just been lua. (it would probably also have been faster too.)
  • NixOS is the opposite of simple.
  • NixOS hard depends on systemd, and many other unnecessarily large software (We like choice)
  • NixOS, because of all of its hard dependencies, ends up being incredbily bloated in comparison to similar systems.
  • NixOS hides the majority of your system's backend under layers of abstraction.
  • nixpkgs is very poorly maintained and has terrible support for essential software like librewolf.
  • "muh pure functional programming"

# misc

Q: Why don't you host game servers?

A:

  • Game servers tend to be proprietary
  • Open source game servers tend to be servers that require you to have installed a proprietary client to join.
  • Games are expensive to host, and we can't afford to.
  • It's much easier to cause damage to the server host through a video game - intentionally or not - which could have a disasterous effect on other things like XMPP.

Q: Cat?

A: Her name is Netcat and you cannot change that!!
