Yes and no. It depends on what your aim is. I LOVE Nix and it runs like a beast on my ZBook. But I’m after reproducible environments I can just blast around on all over the place without a heavy imagining solution. Works great for that.

Does it take some time to setup as a daily driver? Yes. But no more than Arch. But the thing with Nix is if you already have a robust config, it takes less time than Arch to go from zero to stomping out code.

Ubuntu is a great generic distro. But I find Nix gives me oomph. As with everything in this ecosphere…use what works for YOU! 😁

YAY! :D Thanks for the love and great screenshot!

That’s going to take some digging. If you search around on Gopher it’s out there.

WAIS is long gone. There are no more servers running having been ran primarily by the now defunct Thinking Machines (they made those big beautiful super computers with all the red lights like in Jurassic Park). There is an open implementation called OpenWAIS, but I can’t remember if it includes a WAIS server.

Well, git 'em fixed!

Yup. We ported netsurf to IRIX a while ago which is a nice little browser that does SSL.

It’s pretty skippy for a 20 year old machine. It’s an octane 2 with a 400 Mhz processor.

SGUG is really the place https://SGI.sh

AHAHA. Gotta have the digital blasphemy background for the late 90s vibe!

IRIX of course :)

NetSurf we ported it to IRIX a while ago :D
