        No doubt, but this is a step in the right direction. If it works it proves the value of further breaking away from the US. While we still buy whatever they’re selling, and provide support loading their bombs for their wars.

      I haven’t found any confirmation anywhere, but I know some of the people at DINUM are active NixOS maintainers, and I’ve seen some NixOS-based development in that space:

          It was originally named Arch de Omphe omphe omphe for the noise of the soldiers marching through it, but they got tired omphe it, I mean of it and renamed it to Triomphe. Not to be confused with victory.
