It's this time of the year again, this weekend is #ZHF in Rapperswil.
After having participated in a few of those I was very happy when I discovered this RFC a few days ago.

Yesterday I had to present some stuff to a pretty large group, around 40 people.
What better moment to install my KDE spin of the Nixbook project (codeberg.org/thesaigoneer/asterix-saigon) for a real life test?
I have only one issue with it.
It just keeps working 🤣

I've been mainly running NixOS, with my spin on Cosmic, for the last week. Had the automated system update this morning. That has been the biggest event happening so far.
This combo, based by me on the Nixbook project, is absolutely rocksolid.
Look for it @ codeberg / thesaigoneer / cosmix-saigon. Kudos to all involved!
And yes, that includes yours truly 😜

If anyone has any idea how to get the CEWE Fotobuch software to behave on NixOS, be my guest:

I think it is a nice idea to highlight why we like working with #Nix and #NixOS to remind us, why we all are doing this in the end.

I want to be ready for that Cosmic launch. And I got triggered by some toots. So I put cosmix-saigon back on the work laptop. Based on the nixbook project (thnks @… !) and nixos unstable (yep, living on the edge again). Solid. And ready!

So Eurostile wie schick!

After cosmix-saigon (using the unstable channel of NixOS, bcs of the most updated Cosmic DE) I just revitalized asterix-saigon.

Is there sandbox weirdness going on with :nixos: #nix fixed-output-derivations (i.e. when you specify outputHash) that some tcp connections are disallowed? I can git clone in runCommand, but down the line a 'git annex get' (which internally just downloads another file via http) fails with this weird message 'no such protocol name: tcp'. With `--option sanbox false` everything is fine, …

Working on upgrading my :nixos: #NixOS to 25.11, one of the config evaluation errors is:

I've recently reimplemented hei - my #nix / #nixos command helper in go, which massively improved the auto-complete support. In 0.2.1 I've also added a nice --confirm feature to rebuild, which does a nvd diff against your current system before confirming to switch

I never use a software store; the cli rules for me. The Cosmic Store though adds community made applets for the desktop environment. A couple of days ago I easily added a theme to the repo. This community-contributing aspect is a bit overlooked, but it makes Cosmic stand out.

Q: how do you use NixOS if your environment is IPv6-only? eventually you encounter some non-binary-cache package that downloads shit from github for no reason and you're fucked, right?

I fucking love NixOS. My SSD corrupted (in the weirdest way ever???) but it’s no worries because after copying my personal files to my NAS I can just format it and reinstall NixOS with exactly the same programs and configurations I had before

The #NixOS Steering Committee election is over, can't wait to see the results

The end of civilization is upon us.
I will master the skill of using flakes on NixOS today.

I finally beefed up my :nix: #nix derivation for the :gitannex: #gitAnnex standalone builds so the download process of the non-predictable version url is automated. It now uses git annex itself to retrieve the tarball from a matching commit in @…

nixos: how it's going

The background makes ir better than systemd-boot at least. Still not nearly as good as what I had on grub tho. Now I need to figure out if I can customise the rest of it too and if I can send old generations to a separate menu.
Today’s goal was getting remote boot to work before traveling tomorrow tho, so that’s good enough for now.

@… Na homelabie migrowałem z VMek na lxc (na proxmoxie) - wychodzą o wiele lżej od całych pełnych wirtualek przy hostowaniu rzeczy, ale jednocześnie dalej mają wiele "niepotrzebnych" pakietów, o które trzeba dbać - aktualizować, upgradować dystrybucje itp. co zupełnie mi nie jest potrzebne.

According to #FreePG right now: #ArchLinux, #Debian, #Fedora, #NixOS and #Ubuntu. Now #Gentoo joins that list, except that instead of silently making intrusive patching on top of GnuPG, we provide it as a separate package (app-crypt/freepg), and mark appropriately:
$ gpg --version

#Seafile has been removed in #NixOS 25.11 because "upstream only supports docker now", but I didn't want to migrate to docker. Good thing that NixOS 25.11 also introduces an #OpenCloud

Does someone have a working #shairport setup with #pipewire that I could copy?
#nixos

Where #NixOS :nixos:
#OVHcloud #OVHCloudSummit

Over 1.2 million downloads. How someone can live in that color scheme is beyond me 😂
Nevertheless, upon request, Asterix-Saigon is here.
Taking the NixBook project by Mike Kelly as a base again, it is the KDE spin of the family.
You know what to do at: (https://codeberg.org/thesaigoneer/aste

why is nixos.org not accessible via ipv6

Ugh Limine supports secure boot on nixos but there aren’t any pretty themes for it like the ones I use on grub ;-;

I’d like to make it clear that I in no way feel entitled to be the first one to make NixOS work on musl, in fact I’d even prefer if someone else did it first and shared their config so I could copy it!

Apparently the NixOS EC closed all questions posted by @… without further explanation, which I only saw because I already answered some of them. It took me a bit to realize this is because only eligible voters are allowed to ask questions for the NixOS SC election. Unfortunate as I think they were valid and valuable.

That Codeberg-from-Github import is very convenient. Really no reason to hang around on that old AI hub anymore.
Along the way I decided to revive cosmix-saigon, my Cosmic spin on NixOS, based on the great Nixbook project by @… .
Once Nix updates the packages to the beta I'll be in touch 😃

The corruption was weird af tho
What the fuck?
I do have a journalctl log but I couldn’t really find the reason everything failed on it.

@… will it involve #Nix :nixos:

With all my KDE, dwm, MangoWC, NixOS, Gentoo, FreeBSD, Wayland, immutably complicated stuff it is very refreshing to just download an MX Linux iso, install it in under 10 minutes and have evrything you might want up and running in no time.
Well curated, well styled, great tools, you name it. Documentation excellent.
What a great distro! A gem.
#mxlinux

Mmmm, Nix has MangoWC in the packages repo as well
How about Panoramix-Saigon, an immutable, auto-updating NixOS with a Wayland window-manager ?
Now that's something...

Tho... via Limine it doesn't seem to use UKI according to bootctl? How tf does it work then???
I imagine this is less safe than Lanzaboote then, since Lanzaboote makes measured UKIs, is it not possible to use UKI with Limine?
(terminal window is ssh to my NAS with lanzaboote, vscodium is my PC with Limine)
#Limine #NixOS #SecureBoot #Lanzaboote

Letter from the trenches:
Some minor things aside I could totally switch to Cosmic. A fresh whiff of air, solid, very snappy and, at heart, I'm a GTK guy. Only dealbreaker for me now: no window rules. They'll come, but at a later stage. I do expect this whole applets ecosystem to take off though. Improvement from alpha 7 to beta 1 is stellar!
NixOS has the specific feature to exclude packages from an environment, which is great for me. I don't need cosmic-edit or cosmi…
