  • Huh. Not only is that pretty neat from a nerdy “they did what?” perspective, having a fully reproducible OS setup is definitely very useful in many contexts. No surprise that the first blog post of that series references the classic Thompson Reflections on Trusting Trust paper about his cc backdoor

    I had to check, and it looks like at least as far as plastic goes, in Finland it’s sent to two domestic recycling plants, and everything they don’t have the capacity to handle is shipped to Sweden’s Site Zero in Motala (dunno where they go from there.)

    But yeah, something like using shredded plastic for road surfacing definitely isn’t what I’d call a sensible way to recycle the material. It’s just adding an extra step before getting to “microplastic endocrine disruptors EVERYWHERE”







  • Right, yeah, so there’s occasionally a bit more jumping through hoops, but the end result is a much more manageable system where eg. updating thing X won’t clobber the fuck out of dependencies that thing Y needed, and in general you get a more “containerised” setup with a declarative way to set it up?

    What’s the upside of Guix vs Nix (except eg. the syntax that @tetris11@lemmy.ml mentioned)?
