  • Nemo/most file explorers have a remote server option. For nemo, “Files > Connect to server”. Once configured, you should be able to view your server files from your file explorer and uploading files should be as easy as drag and drop. I’m pretty sure nautilis has something similar too!

    It’s not the best for security because if someone gets your computer, they can access your server through the file explorer. But it’s fast and convenient if you are already using your file explorer.








  • Can someone explain to me why github apparently has bad UX/UI? I always thought the UI has gotten really good over the years.

    [Edit] Like there this huge argument in these comments about the release button being all wrong. ??? No clue what people have against it. I thought it was fine? You can use it or not. People link to it if they want it more prominent. Someone explain?

    [Edit 2] Also what’s up with the people who are vehemently against uploading bins to GitHub releases. This is literally what github is doing on their own repos. Not trying to say that anyone should feel obligated to release bins (CI/CD is a literal job title). People are releasing software for free because they want to. Let’s not look a gift horse in the mouth.

    Idk I’m gonna stop reading this thread. its driving me crazy.





  • I think both nix-env and flakes are designed with making package management easier. Nix-env tries to make it intuitive and familiar for new users. Flakes improve package management by simplifying the configuration.

    Personally I would love to see syntax highlighting, language server, code completion. Maybe all in a dedicated application which is configured to give the easiest experience for new users. If nix is intended to be managed through config files, then the experience of writing a config should be as easy as possible.
