Agree on your comment re build/templating and new language. Nix is weird and NixOS is complicated. Nonetheless I have convinced myself that I like it.

In TFA the author must set up two configurations: the .gitconfig, and the file which is included in the .gitconfig. Home-manager does this automatically through one config parameter. That is what I was pleased with and wanted to share.

Thank you for this! I have exactly the same problem and was waiting for the solution to present itself, which it now has.

Aside: I use NixOS with home-manager (on linux and mac), which makes this trivial [1]. Added the following lines to my home-manager config:

  programs.git = {
    enable = true;
    ...
    includes = [
      {
        condition = "hasconfig:remote.*.url:[email protected]:<work>/**";
        contents = {
          user.email = "<work email>";
        };
      }
    ];
  }

Re:Ask HN: Why are domain registrars so bad? on Tuesday October 24, 2023 @02:26PM (#38003208)
I wouldn’t classify cloudflare as being “sleazy”, but as far as I know, they’re only doing domain registration as an avenue to cross-sell. They might be one of the “good ones” now, but do they have incentive to remain that way?

Ask HN: Why are domain registrars so bad?

Domain registrars have a general sense of being bad: sleazy, upselling, cross-selling, poaching domains based on searches.The ones that look like they could be good get sold off (google domains, gandi), and presumably will also become bad.Why is this? Are the margins so thin? Is there no way to make money as a good domain registrar?Why hasn’t a publicly-funded entity been established to bring...

I hadn’t heard of the red zone, this article explained it quite well: https://os.phil-opp.com/red-zone/.
I often commit in a detached HEAD state (primarily because we're using Gerrit, and git-review sort of encourages it). Sublime Merge won't let me commit without being on a branch. Is there any way to get around this?

I would have thought that an offering like AWS' dedicated hosts would solve the noisy neighbours problem and offer some guarantee for IOPS. I find it surprising that they don't mention it as an option for them.
