Love to hear about the JB community setups! I hope you guys revisit this concept some time in the future. Keep the homelab content coming, this episode and the nix configs were some of my favourite episodes as of late. Enjoy the holidays and thanks for the value 💫

It's been a while since I boosted, so here is some value back for all the value you provide each week! I think you hit the right balance on your AI coverage, keep it up.

Fell behind on the shows, I am slowly catching up. Your pre-show rant on open-source projects vs AI really resonated with me so I had to give some value back. I was mostly on board with OSS maintainers and their approach to block big tech AI bots seemed reasonable to me. But your words and passion made me see that it should only be at most a short term solution (because letting OpenAI and others hammer your forge does not seem viable). However on the long term you are absolutely correct, our focus should be on finding solutions to enable users to have their agents scrape efficiently. Leveraging this new tool will prove invaluable, but only if we let it. It would be a shame to let such an opportunity go to waste! Keep fighting the good fight and thank you for the value 💯

Just upgraded my nix machines to 25.05. I run unstable on my main laptop (m2 air running nixos-apple-silicon), the stable release on most of my homelab and maintain the options for the 2 inputs in my flake : https://github.com/KongrooParadox/nixfiles This was my second nixos release since getting into Nix last year (February I think), and this strategy made it really painless. No surprises about deprecated options since I saw these cases slowly when these changes hit unstable. What is your approach to NixOS releases?

Fell behind on the shows these past weeks. Slowly catching up as time rolls on. Wanted to give a shoutout to the bootleg version of LUP, where you can hear Chris admiting Vim's superiority to nano (Episode 618 TUI challenge) :P And Wes enjoying the situation all too much 😁 I tease but it's well worth the dime!!

First time boosting in to TwiB! I am a total bitcoin newbie and really enjoy your breakdown of the macro news. You've convinced me to start stacking those SATs, thanks for that! I am considering noding up, and was about to go Knots to balance out the network. But all this BIP 444 business has convinced me to go core 30 with tweaked settings. Will report back once I get it up and running!

Had a great time with the TUI challenge, easy for me on the neovim and tmux side because I daily drive it. But for the rest it was great discovering all these new apps!! The big surprise for me was how manageable it was to live without a full fledged browser. Being used to vim motions w3m was a great experience to reduce the learning curve for text content. browsh is rough around the edges but got me the rest of the way there and able to login into github and most of my tests were ok. I ran out of time to get mail and music going but looking forward to getting it done soon. You guys got me excited about going full tui 😁 Can't wait to hear how you guys did!

Hey ! Boosting with my progress for the TUI challenge (no time for more): (Brent style trying to add until the last minute :D) - Text = 10 + 15 = Neovim / Vim (on my work windows machine) - Email = -20 - Web = 20 + 5 = w3m for text based content (articles, docs) & browsh where JS is needed - Music = -10 - File = 10 + 5 = yazi - Task = 20 = todoman - System monitoring = 10 = btop, k9s (kubernetes used in day-job) - Terminal multitasking = 30 = tmux Total of 95 with the 2 penalties applied Creative bonus points : - Same theme with almost all used TUI apps (catppuccin mocha) - tmux script to manage sessions and hotswap between project directories
