Installed latest NixOS on my secondary laptop tonight, was really nice with a proper installer (calamares installer), got most of the stuff I use set up, but I do need to tweak some more.
I love the way the system is set up, makes it very easy to have the same setup on several machines. I’ll try and run it and use it as much as I can now.

But when I go for long walks during the weekend I can walk anywhere from 10km to 20, then the rest is as needed around the house. so he’s well adjusted to short walks as well as long. today he pulled our kids on snow sleds on the street outside here, was really fun :) it was his first time trying that, and I could barely keep up with him. haha.

Here is an example of usage:
func Example() {
pass := "my_pass"

pwd := passwd.New(

&plainPasswd{},
)
_, err := pwd.Passwd(pass, hash)

}
// Check if we want to update.
if !pwd.IsPreferred(hash) {
newHash, err := pwd.Passwd(pass, "")
if err != nil {

}
fmt.Println("new hash:", newHash)
}
// Output:
// new hash: $1$81ed91e1131a3a5a50d8a68e8ef85fa0
}
This shows how one would set a preferred hashing type and if the current version of ones password is not the preferred type updates it to enhance the security of the hashed password when someone logs in.

Mainstream media is designed to make people into cuckolds
Well, people should be able to talk, even if it’s the ‘wrong’ topic.
I think the whole ‘covid disinformation’ policy at twitter and others (spotify) is ridiculous.
A banner that pops up telling you to go ‘here’ for latest info is crazy.
People die from all kinds of things, covid is no exception from that, but no other virus has been put on display like this one. And also not even being able to discuss things around it (except for the cemented truth) is not something I like. I’m not a conspiracy theorist or anything like that - but I love discussing things, and when you cannot even do that - then I have a issue with it. So many people got banned for simply discussing or trying to discuss issues around it.
For some people they are just fun. Others can’t handle it. They go nuts. 2022-11-29T19:42:33-06:00 I prefer to spend my time writing code for only a few gopher users. No time for conspiracies.
