  • Essentially, their entire schtick is being a middleman. By sitting between the server you want to visit, they can do helpful things like DDOS protection, being a CDN (basically store website assets closer to you), managing HTTPS for you and providing access to your website over IPv6 even if your server doesn’t have it.

    By nature of that though, their position is quite sensitive since it has become a service that a good chunk of the Internet goes through. That causes concerns about centralization and pisses in a lot of people’s cereals politically.






  • Holy shit the comments on this one are vile. If you don’t like the article, don’t read it and go on with your day.

    The footer of the blog shows a Nix file structure, skimming their blog they wrote a bunch of articles and guides for Nix, checking their repo they have a bunch of Nix work, they’re not exactly a nobody (if you couldn’t judge from the people saying they’ll miss them on the Nix forum post)

    This entire article is an extension of https://save-nix-together.org which is the actual thing that sparked the the gasoline covered Nix community, this will probably seem more coherent with that background.


  • What I said especially applies for single GPU passthrough, minus the two GPU part, I say that because I’ve done that on Desktop.

    Single GPU passthrough (for me) was a journey of misery where a series of bash scripts with crude busyloop synchronization kept me from having no display output and needing to restart my system to test my changes again.

    It’s probably the last thing I’d recommend for someone who wants something that works, unless you know something I don’t.
