[1944.50 --> 1945.80] and it also means
[1945.80 --> 1946.36] that I could probably
[1946.36 --> 1948.16] really eek a lot of performance
[1948.16 --> 1948.94] out of an M1
[1948.94 --> 1950.96] and the great thing is
[1950.96 --> 1951.88] is there's already people
[1951.88 --> 1952.94] working to get Nix OS
[1952.94 --> 1954.28] running on the M1 Mini.
[1954.60 --> 1955.00] So like,
[1955.14 --> 1956.26] by the time I'm ready
[1956.26 --> 1956.82] to do this,
[1956.90 --> 1957.80] the work's going to be done.
[1958.58 --> 1960.30] Can I play devil's advocate now?
[1960.74 --> 1961.14] Are you done?
[1961.74 --> 1962.14] Yeah, yeah.
[1962.14 --> 1963.44] Is your soapbox...
[1963.44 --> 1965.10] So in summary,
[1965.90 --> 1966.74] Boo containers.
[1967.06 --> 1967.68] No, yeah, go ahead.
[1967.68 --> 1971.32] Why learn
[1971.32 --> 1974.98] a slightly unusual
[1974.98 --> 1976.48] bespoke
[1976.48 --> 1979.76] deployment configuration system,
[1980.14 --> 1981.52] which is what Nix appears to use
[1981.52 --> 1982.54] just from a quick glance.
[1982.60 --> 1982.90] I'll be honest,
[1982.92 --> 1984.30] I'm not super familiar with it.
[1984.94 --> 1985.56] And I really,
[1985.74 --> 1985.96] you know,
[1986.04 --> 1987.28] I have no real opinions.
[1987.36 --> 1988.10] Let me preface
[1988.10 --> 1988.98] everything I'm about to say
[1988.98 --> 1990.00] with no real opinions
[1990.00 --> 1991.00] about Nix OS at all.
[1991.06 --> 1992.30] I haven't looked at it
[1992.30 --> 1992.94] super closely.
[1994.04 --> 1994.40] But,
[1995.52 --> 1996.60] devil's advocate time.
[1996.60 --> 1998.54] If I am learning Ansible
[1998.54 --> 2000.96] and I want to run it
[2000.96 --> 2001.64] against Ubuntu
[2001.64 --> 2002.74] or CentOS
[2002.74 --> 2003.80] or Arch
[2003.80 --> 2005.66] or macOS
[2005.66 --> 2008.28] or any other system
[2008.28 --> 2009.80] that Ansible supports,
[2010.38 --> 2012.06] I've learned a skill
[2012.06 --> 2012.94] that's transferable
[2012.94 --> 2013.82] not only between
[2013.82 --> 2014.54] multiple different
[2014.54 --> 2015.64] operating systems,
[2015.92 --> 2018.60] but also different jobs.
[2019.12 --> 2019.86] And Ansible's been
[2019.86 --> 2020.56] hugely powerful
[2020.56 --> 2021.40] for my career,
[2021.60 --> 2021.78] you know,
[2021.80 --> 2022.50] as a springboard
[2022.50 --> 2022.98] where I could
[2022.98 --> 2024.26] start operating
[2024.26 --> 2024.82] at a level
[2024.82 --> 2025.84] that was much higher
[2025.84 --> 2026.84] than actually
[2026.84 --> 2027.54] if I'd just been
[2027.54 --> 2028.02] doing everything
[2028.02 --> 2028.74] like a caveman
[2028.74 --> 2029.82] on the command line,
[2030.36 --> 2030.50] right?
[2030.54 --> 2031.18] Simply because
[2031.18 --> 2032.26] people smarter than me
[2032.26 --> 2033.22] had abstracted away
[2033.22 --> 2034.10] a lot of the complexity.
[2035.30 --> 2036.56] And so I look at Nix OS
[2036.56 --> 2037.50] and I see their
[2037.50 --> 2038.38] configuration language
[2038.38 --> 2040.18] looks pretty easy
[2040.18 --> 2040.60] to understand.
[2040.72 --> 2041.14] It's, you know,
[2041.16 --> 2041.98] it's just a standard
[2041.98 --> 2043.52] sort of JSON type
[2043.52 --> 2044.66] looking configuration
[2044.66 --> 2045.40] thing, right?
[2046.58 --> 2047.48] And some of the things
[2047.48 --> 2048.06] you said, right?
[2048.10 --> 2049.64] You wanted reproducibility.
[2050.16 --> 2050.32] Okay,
[2050.40 --> 2050.86] so Nix OS
[2050.86 --> 2052.42] is clearly that
[2052.42 --> 2053.30] because of the
[2053.30 --> 2054.32] whole ethos
[2054.32 --> 2055.16] of the project.
[2055.30 --> 2056.78] But let's say
[2056.78 --> 2057.88] you wanted in five years
[2057.88 --> 2059.52] time to redeploy
[2059.52 --> 2060.68] a specific version
[2060.68 --> 2061.26] of Sync thing
[2061.26 --> 2062.24] for whatever reason
[2062.24 --> 2062.74] it might be.
[2063.90 --> 2065.00] You could do that
[2065.00 --> 2066.00] with a container
[2066.00 --> 2066.76] on Ansible.
