  • The marriage thing just turns an ethical / moral / health matter into a legal one. If they were really against sex with minors, they’d be against child marriage. But they aren’t, so this is just another way to be outraged at something where they feel there will be no repercussions because the target group is rightfully frowned upon.

    Anyhow, if such a tape exists, he could just claim everyone said the girls were over 18; and if they weren’t, maybe the tapes were produced somewhere where sex between them is legal? Remember, all pearl clutching and rule of law talk from them is hollow, this is just “we can do whatever we want and you have to do what we want” behavior, thinly disguised.

    You’re trying to apply your logic and values to the whole thing; it doesn’t work because there’s retroactively applied justification at best.

    The issue I see with your approach is that you’re looking for a tutorial for something that is basically infinitely flexible, there’s multiple ways to do things, etc.

    By installing NixOS, you have already completed the tutorial. My advice is: Approach your configuration (which is actually code) like a static one first. That is set the values you want, maybe split up files a bit, keep it simple. At one point, you’ll get somewhere where you think that there has to be a better way to do it than just write down everything explicitly. Then, approach problem per problem. At least that’s how I did it.

    Dunno if that’s the best way to do it, if you want to start managing a server farm right now that approach won’t scale of course. The issue with configurations you find online is that they’re rather complex – which makes sense for the cases these people have written them for. But for one or two machines, you don’t need to fold attributes / generate attributes from list etc. right away. If you’re not in a rush, get a feel for everything on a low level first, and then approach the deeper mechanics.
