  • Full source code control, nothing included that you don’t ask for,… It still doesn’t mean it is sustainable if it’s about the invested/wasted energy.

    I still don’t understand how exactly Guix works, but it looks like it’s like flatpak or other virtualization software, which has redundant software in it’s containers and keep huge junks of software to update something (much bigger than updating single binaries), which costs a lot of energy to transfer over the internet.

    I tried to follow a presentation about Guix, but I am more confused than before. It looks like people can’t explain in simple word what Guix is or what makes it special.

    Oh and can be productively used on a system powered exclusively by a $5 solar panel.

    Okay, this part is really interesting, because it’s pretty hard to power even a raspberry pi 4 with such a small solar panel. Which hardware do you use with it?

    Why should youtube media not have meta data? As soon media data was created, it automatically has meta data. If you create a music file, you get meta data like length, audio bitrate, sample rate, etc.

    But okay, you might mean data, which is not related to the file and can be added as meta data.

    No, I think those are the Windows people who put / in the file names, because back then Windows wasn’t really restrictive about stupid file names. At least I think it isn’t possible anymore, but can’t confirm, because I don’t use Windows for around 15 years.
