[1817.72 --> 1818.06] Often.
[1818.18 --> 1818.34] I mean,
[1818.42 --> 1819.20] usually I don't use hardware
[1819.20 --> 1820.14] past that, right?
[1820.22 --> 1821.28] So I'm touching on,
[1821.34 --> 1822.12] I'm rebuilding stuff
[1822.12 --> 1823.46] every few years, usually.
[1824.20 --> 1826.14] I mean, speaking about myself,
[1826.46 --> 1829.58] I prefer to change stuff
[1829.58 --> 1831.08] every couple of years.
[1831.08 --> 1832.78] So the chances of me
[1832.78 --> 1833.96] sticking with the same system
[1833.96 --> 1835.42] for five whole years
[1835.42 --> 1836.34] is quite slim.
[1836.74 --> 1837.74] Have you ever had
[1837.74 --> 1838.66] like an Arch desktop
[1838.66 --> 1839.84] that you install
[1839.84 --> 1841.50] and then like three years later
[1841.50 --> 1842.86] you realize it's the same install
[1842.86 --> 1843.44] and you've just been
[1843.44 --> 1844.84] reliably updating it?
[1845.24 --> 1846.52] My Arch desktop actually
[1846.52 --> 1847.84] is the one that I installed
[1847.84 --> 1848.28] in London
[1848.28 --> 1849.70] and it traveled across the ocean
[1849.70 --> 1850.70] in a container, you know?
[1850.90 --> 1851.00] So.
[1851.66 --> 1852.76] I love it, right?
[1852.84 --> 1853.82] And when you think about
[1853.82 --> 1855.72] how like some desktop Linux users,
[1856.06 --> 1856.98] especially Mint users,
[1857.10 --> 1858.62] they actually like reinstall
[1858.62 --> 1859.38] every major,
[1859.60 --> 1860.70] for every major version.
[1860.82 --> 1861.14] I know.
[1861.68 --> 1862.82] It's crazy, right?
[1863.40 --> 1864.14] Nix is that
[1864.14 --> 1865.60] for everything to the next level
[1865.60 --> 1866.90] and I can pin versions
[1866.90 --> 1867.62] if I need to,
[1867.68 --> 1868.46] I can roll back.
[1868.82 --> 1869.94] It's the kind of distro
[1869.94 --> 1871.74] that you can install it
[1871.74 --> 1873.70] and you can actually
[1873.70 --> 1875.30] reliably let it auto-update
[1875.30 --> 1876.96] because it's so simple to recover.
[1878.30 --> 1879.70] It's very compelling
[1879.70 --> 1882.08] and I'm still kind of new to it
[1882.08 --> 1883.10] so I'm struggling
[1883.10 --> 1884.80] to really put all of it into words
[1884.80 --> 1886.16] but it's got me excited
[1886.16 --> 1887.94] in a way about deploying software
[1887.94 --> 1888.40] on Linux
[1888.40 --> 1889.62] that essentially
[1889.62 --> 1890.70] Docker Compose did
[1890.70 --> 1891.38] for containers
[1891.38 --> 1893.52] and I really don't have
[1893.52 --> 1894.44] a major problem
[1894.44 --> 1896.54] with running these applications
[1896.54 --> 1897.20] in containers
[1897.20 --> 1899.60] but if I'm being totally honest,
[1900.60 --> 1902.40] I do feel kind of weird
[1902.40 --> 1904.28] about pulling down
[1904.28 --> 1905.58] like essentially
[1905.58 --> 1906.74] an entire software
[1906.74 --> 1908.20] OS environment
[1908.20 --> 1909.18] to run sync thing
[1909.18 --> 1910.68] when it's just like,
[1910.78 --> 1911.12] you know,
[1911.48 --> 1912.50] some binaries
[1912.50 --> 1913.70] and some config files
[1913.70 --> 1915.44] and I don't really need
[1915.44 --> 1916.06] to run all of that
[1916.06 --> 1916.52] in a container.
[1916.52 --> 1917.36] I don't need to manage
[1917.36 --> 1917.92] the network.
[1918.04 --> 1918.52] I don't need to have
[1918.52 --> 1920.16] like these virtual network interfaces.
[1920.68 --> 1921.76] I don't need any of that.
[1921.82 --> 1922.36] I don't need to like
[1922.36 --> 1924.02] mount storage volumes
[1924.02 --> 1925.20] or any of that.
[1925.30 --> 1926.50] I don't really need it
[1926.50 --> 1927.84] if I can still get
[1927.84 --> 1929.30] all of the manageability benefits
[1929.30 --> 1930.40] that I got with the software
[1930.40 --> 1931.18] as a container.
[1931.40 --> 1931.72] You know,
[1931.72 --> 1933.00] being able to pull down
[1933.00 --> 1934.00] specific versions,
[1934.12 --> 1935.06] being able to stay current,
[1935.14 --> 1936.24] being able to roll back,
[1936.66 --> 1937.86] being able to isolate data
[1937.86 --> 1939.02] and application stuff.
[1939.02 --> 1939.24] Like,
[1939.48 --> 1940.30] I get all of that
[1940.30 --> 1940.66] with Nix
[1940.66 --> 1941.46] without actually having
[1941.46 --> 1942.30] to have it in a container.
[1942.30 --> 1944.50] That's compelling to me
