And I believe with 26.05 that original way wasn't possible anymore, at which point I switched to nixos-hardware. But then nixos-hardware changed something and no longer had its kernels in a build cache... See this issue on their GitHub.

Because it was trying to compile the entire kernel from scratch. Eventually I found this post mentioning that the kernel with some special Raspberry Pi sauce was missing from the public build cache, for whatever reason.
Oh well, I ended up switching to the regular non-Raspberry Pi kernel and then it updated within a few minutes. I don't know what I'm missing by not using the rpi kernel (I mostly use it as a monitoring server anyway, no fancy hardware things), but it was a bit frustrating to figure out why it's building the kernel from scratch when previously a build cache had always been available. The price of NixOS, I suppose.

Compared to Gen 6 it's 12GB RAM instead of 8GB and one generation up in CPU. I'm not a phone power user but doesn't this feel a little empty of an update? Or am I missing something?

Comment on What server location should I use for a VPN? in ~tech

That way if you're logging into government services or your bank account or similar important thing, they don't think something is up because the location looks weird.
As far as there being a benefit to having it routed through a certain jurisdiction, I don't think it really matters.

Tildes may slowly wither away, people may choose to pack up their things and go, and that's okay.
One of my favorite songs Ring 2 - Nature (lyrics) by my favorite band The Dear Hunter talks about this in a way. The lyrics are from the perspective of nature, where it's about how "At first, there was no one to meddle" and then mankind evolves into what we are now "Taking much more than they need" - but that that is fine. Because as nature puts it "No worries, just laughter, we'll be here after". Nature is going to remain here long after mankind beats, stabs, shoots and blows itself up.
Anyways, I use this line "No worries, just laughter, we'll be here after" in my account bios/descriptions a lot because I like it as a mantra, it helps relativize things and helps me to remember to reflect. Tildes may slowly wither away but you'll find your way, delphi. We'll be here after in some way or another.
Everything is going to be fine.

And ultimately Deimos is the owner of the Tildes gitlab org so he'd have a say in anything that happens too. With a fork anyone can make their own decisions.

I'm still interested in developing Tildes but it's discouraging to see changes happening in gitlab without them being deployed on the live site. And regrettably this topic confirms that I should try to let go of that continued interest and put it to use on other projects, I already have way too many going... :P
I really like this corner of the internet, Tildes (the community) is pretty great and Deimos has done a good job of cultivating that. But on the flip side Tildes (the software project) has languished and I wish it hadn't.

And not just some other local server that happens to be running on port 5432.When I went to the website it got quite a number of things flat out wrong.

And of course we're assuming that it is indeed a drop-in replacement with no immediate issues. I imagine the reality of when this rolls out fully it is not going to be that smooth.

And it seems the issue is Google is "requiring all phone makers to pre-install Google Search and Chrome".
I don't know what would happen if a phone maker decided not to pre-install Google Search and Chrome... Google comes over with a paddle?
I did find that one too when I was updating but by that point I wasn't in the mood to do any more fiddling and I just wanted the pi to be updated, so I switched off any special rpi kernel stuff and rebuilt with the standard kernel. Which seems to be working fine now, so all good.
