NixOS had some problems particularly the llvm and clang compilers that complained a lot about missing standard libraries and headers.

I think it’s likely that you’re trying to just add clang/llvm toolchains to your development shell like this:

pkgs.mkShell { packages = [
  llvmPackages_16.clang
]; };

But you actually want something like:

(mkShell.override { inherit (llvmPackages_16) stdenv; }) {
  packages = [ ];
}

Open firmware is important for trusting your boot chain. Seeing their list of partners in the article makes it look like a bunch of cloud providers want to take early boot security very seriously.

It’s great to see that you’re trying to establish something like that but I see a few issues with how it’s set up right now:

• Mushrooms and medical cannabis should be separated.

Medical cannabis is legal in NZ right now while psilocybin mushrooms are not. These medicines lives in similar realms, but it’s not quite the same legality and stigma wise.

• The name trees carry some “weed bro” connotations over from reddit

Contrast this with reddit where we have https://www.reddit.com/r/MedicalCannabisNZ/ for medical cannabis discussions, https://www.reddit.com/r/NZTrees/ for non-medical (tbh it’s mostly growing) and https://www.reddit.com/r/MagicPlantsNZ/ for psychadelics. I think separating along similar lines makes sense, wdyt?

My personal view is that anti-vax, climate change denial, and similar content should be removed on sight.

What do you consider as anti-vax then? There is a whole spectrum from “vaccines causes autism” to “covid vaccines are safe and efficient”, where both of these extremes are blatant misinformation.

I am staunchly against vaccine mandates. Is that a viewpoint that is OK to argue for? I do not think the current set of covid vaccines are either safe or efficient. Is that a view I am allowed to express?
