I’ve had the typical disasters with partition tables and boot loader mixups, but the one I keep coming back to is updating my Nvidia drivers too eagerly. Whether something gets messed up with an external monitor, or the laptop starts resisting switching away from the integrated GPU, or an electron app I use regularly that makes heavy use of 3D acceleration breaks, or I just need to bump the driver version in a reproducible system state record… it’s just bad news.

The stress of those moments left a weird impression. I’m very against splitting the party now when entering checkout territory.

I’ve used powerline-go for a long time now. The modules I use are, modules = ["cwd" "ssh" "dotenv" "nix-shell" "gitlite" "exit"]; (from my home-manager config). It tells me everything I need, and looks pretty, too. Maybe I should mix it up for some variety, but I do like the info it provides.

Happy user of this for FPV footage, but it’s also worth appreciating more abstractly as a really well done cross platform GUI application. It’s powerful, GPU accelerated, and looks pretty good while doing it.

Are you using DDG in addition to Kagi because of Kagi’s limited number of searches per month, or because DDG does something better?

I’m a bit conflicted about Kagi because $5/month is a plausible price, but the limited number of searches seems like it would add an extra step of, “Do I want to use my limited search resource on this search?” to every search, which is an unwanted extra bit of friction.
