As a french and daily nixos user, this is great.

Nixos or a derivative would make a ton of sense for an administration, just load the same config on all the computers and voila! Each department can have it’s own variation of the config.

I like Grist, it’s a step closer to a database but is still as easy to use then a spreadsheet.

Personal disaster as well.

If something happens to me and I am incapacitated, or worse, my wife or my brother can request access to my vault and without any action in my side for a week they will have access to my vault. (Emergency access feature in bitwarden)

So it does not add the stress of needing to call ALL the utility companies, bank, school … To reset passwords or request emergency access.

I saw that first hand with my brother in law who had an accident and went into a coma. We were lucky that his computer wasn’t locked and all his password accessible on it.

Moving to NixOS was quite a challenge for me. It felt like a Iot of different concepts that it took a while to understand.

I’m glad I pushed through because I take like it now. Now that I have my config everything is easy and straightforward.

Newpipe or tubular

I remember using Google translate that was doing that live on the phone camera and translating the text at the same time 15 years ago.

I love nixos, it’s been my daily driver for the last 3 years for work and home.

A more accurate metaphor would be:

• When modding the car, with a arch, Debian of most other distros you actually mod the car. If you want to change the seats you physically install new seats.
• With nixos you don’t intervene directly on the car, you change the blueprint of the car and let the robot reassemble the car according to the blueprint.

Who wouldn’t want to have their car assembled automatically beton scratch from scratch each time they need it ?

I stopped distro hoping with NixOS. It’s been very stable for me and even in the few cases I had an issue is so easy to just restart on a previous generation and revert changes that it does not matter.

End-to-end encryption (coming soon)

I hope they do work on e2ee and they it will indeed come soon.

It’s literally the third word on the github readme of the project linked I’m the post :

Powered by LiveKit

Lovekiy is an open source framework for voice and video conferencing

It’s what the EU is doing now

If you were not a troll you would have seen that all the technical documentation about how to contribute and how to host an instance in the repository is in English. The code is well documented 100% in English.

It make sense however that pages for users is in French, since it’s been developed for French users. If you want Geraldine, the secretary of the tax office in Trifouilly les Oies to use it, you need to address her in French.

They already developed alternatives for Microsoft Office:

https://lasuite.numerique.gouv.fr/produits/docs as an alternative to word

https://lasuite.numerique.gouv.fr/produits/grist as an alternative for excel and data management (much better than excel in my opinion)

It’s open source, actively developed with Germany and the Netherlands (as I’m writing this post the last commit to doc was 49min ago) and self hostableby any administration or company who want to do it.

It is open source and built on top of livekit which is open source.

All the tools of “La Suite Numerique” are open source.

I agree, it was the same on reddit.

It’s open source and they have documentation for self-hosting it !

Plastic is already made from the residues of gasoline production.

Sure we can extract a bit more gasoline from it but it’s not going to replace drilling oil.

GUI tools can be great, I live using then but I hate writing documentation for them.

Documenting CLI is much easier to do and maintain than documenting GUI. A few lines of text that I can adjust if needed vs a pile of screenshots.

Obsidian is great, in using it extensively for work and personal usage.

Not open source unfortunately
