We've started a #Fluxer community for #Nix, #NixOS and the wider ecosystem:

So crate2nix has a new maintainer after being dead for roughly two years, but it's all Co-Authored-By Claude Code now.

Reinstated Obelix Saigon yesterday. Whereas Asterix is the 'skinny immutable' Nixbook config, with flatpaks layered on top, Obelix is the 'fat' one, with a fully featured configuration.nix. No flakes, no flatpaks, just plain nix pkgs. Works brilliantly. The laptop will go encrypted VoidLinux. Can't go wrong with that either.

I think what irks me the most about the understaffed darwin (= macOS) maintainers situation in #nixpkgs is not only that it forces pure Linux users to look out for darwin quirks and thus invest a significant amount of time in darwin maintenance, but also that a significant amount of the business value of DetSys, Flox and similar

It still feels like magic that a rebuild-switch and upgrade. using my preserved configuration.nix, gets my totally personalized KDE up and running in less than 5 minutes. All services, KDE apps, cli tools, the whole shebang. Amazing.

TIL that in :nixos: #nix, "${./mydir}" will survive a garbage collection, but a plain ./mydir will not!
Took me way too long to figure this out. Didn't help that `just` gives a stupid error message about a missing shell when it can't change into its -d working directory. 🤦

Just reports incorrectly if the specified working directory can't be found · Issue #2705 · casey/just
Say we have this justfile: [working-directory: "this-directory-does-not-exist"] pwd: pwd just pwd prints pwd error: Recipe `pwd` could not be run because just could not find the shell: No such file...

I noticed that the aarch64 git annex standalone build test suite (emulated on NixOS under x86_64) is *far* slower than the the nixpkgs-provided one:
> nix run nixpkgs#legacyPackages.aarch64-linux.git-annex test
# ... takes ~8min
> nix run gitlab:nobodyinperson/yannix#packages.aarch64-linux.git-annex-standalone test
# ... takes ~35min
