  • The joke relies on a German pun. The word imposant (“imposing” or “impressive”) is humorously reinterpreted as sounding like im Po Sand (“sand in your butt”). The punchline then escalates the imagined contents from sand to stones and finally to rubble/gravel, creating an absurd and crude “comparison of degrees” of imposant. The humor comes from the phonetic wordplay and the increasingly ridiculous imagery.




  • Out of all the ways that I have tried in the past, to reproduce not just the initial state, but also the ongoing changes of a disto (ansible, saltstack, chef, bunch of Shell scripts) — nix is by far the shortest. With all of these technologies I would never have dreamed to do this for a single Maschine. But now it’s not only possible, but actually gasp enjoyable!

    Mind you, if that is not the problem you want to solve, maybe install just the nix package manager in addition to your distribution, and learn to enjoy it without having to run your whole distribution this way.
