A pain point I’ve seen with NixOS for new users is the focus on editing files — how easy is it for her to install applications that way?

PoolloverNathan@programming.devto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•You just gotta think different1·2 months agoWhat network topology do you have? My method only assumes server→laptop connectivity (laptop→server and laptop→repo are implied). If server→laptop is unavailable, but you can install Git in general on the server, you could forward the repo through SSH. If Git cannot be installed server-side at all, this is more difficult, and rsync would be the best method I know of.

The two most common sources of security vulnerabilities are buffer overflows, use-after-free, and off-by-one errors.
The point is that many programs completely ignore
.cache
’s existence — when programs do actually use it, adding a backup exception is trivial, but having to manually find what’s actually cache in.config
(or, even worse, finding one SQLite database with the config and cache) complicates it.
