Dear #NixOS SC electorate, you may now choose between me, myself and I.

Nice interview with @… about :nixos: #nix and #NixOS (and #elixir, which I have no…

stimmt meine beobachtung auf den #datenspuren, dass zeitgenössische #catgirls nicht mehr auf arch betriebsystemen laufen sondern auf #NixOS?

"To start with #Nix was one of my worst IT ideas so far."
Read about the reasons why #NixOS did not work out for me on:
Good bye NixOS, Hello #Debian (Again)!

Holy cow 😅 Iterating on :nixos: #nixOS SD card images surely adds up...

Tfw you just want to roll out a minor configuration change to your #nixos setup but you’ve git pulled and your steam deck wants to rebuild Linux and mesa.

Next #Nix and #NixOS #Heidelberg meetup on Friday, October 17 at the Institute for Computer Science (Mathematikon). Save the date! :blobcatnomcookie: :nixos:

:nixos: #NixOS has made me like :bash: #bash. I use it so frequently with pkgs.writeShellApplication and have accepted to use its non-POSIX "advanced" features like (associative) arrays, the [[ ]] conditional syntax, the variable string mangling magic, etc. I absolutely love how writeShellApplicati…

#NixOS 25.05 system update (approx. for 4 weeks) took 1h7min on my lenovo #x260 i5 (16GB RAM).
I have no idea why the performance is so poor on that machine in contrast to T490 with same NixOS configuration.
I'll see after I switched back to

The yearly :nixos: #nix / #NixOS community survey is online:

#limine looks interesting. A non-annoying way to get secure boot and a pretty boot menu in #nixos? Sign me up.

Right, if you update a remote :nixos: #NixOS machine via an #autossh tunnel (that received a minor change) and it gets stopped for the update, you got yourself a problem 😆
Luckily, there is restartIfChanged = false; 😌

Grade noch paar Folien für meinen :nixos: #NixOS Workshop¹ heute 14:00 Uhr beim #Tübix vorbereiten.
Hatte die letzten Wochen so viel zu tun, dass ich tatsächlich NIX vorbereiten konnte. #baDumTss

During the last 2 years with #NixOS, I've mentioned multiple times that my system performance is very poor on my backup notebook: Lenovo #X260 with a 2y old crucial 2TB SATA SSD BX500 2.5"
After setting it up with Debian 13 on the 2TB SSD as well as on the original 250GB SSD, I have to say that th…

If you want to participate in the upcoming #NixOS steering committee election but haven't reached the required 25 commits mark in #nixpkgs yet, feel free to send some PRs to me for review. Also available for some 1:1 chats in Matrix or Discord to get any issues quickly sorted, so your PRs ca…

Today I've been fighting again with this absolutely stupid :nixos: #NixOS bug that dates back nearly 20 years now, which prevents you from naming an executable 'log'. Yes, it is NOT possible on NixOS. 🤦 🤦 🤦 And working around it is beyond frustrating. Fixing it requires a mass rebuild, so it's not that simple. 😩 😂 It's so terrible but also hilarious...
Issue:

Can't call a program `log` · Issue #354057 · NixOS/nixpkgs

I like that you can run Linux in a VM on android now (including #nixos) but man is the terminal app crap. Been playing with the android 16 desktop stuff too, and its also quite half baked for now.

Some realtalk and call for help (thread): for a bit over a year, I've been somewhat regularly organizing the domestic #NixOS and #RustLang meetups in #Mannheim and

Tried switching to #ghostty on both macOS and #NixOS. On macOS, it replaced iTerm2 for me and the transition was pretty smooth. Also worked fine with fish and starship ootb. Just the still persisting SSH issues (which are blamed on ghostty being too new for external applications to recognize it)…

So on my way to setting up #NixCon2025 😴

Well. That was pretty easy. Boot process secured and prettified with #limine #nixos

Packaged another open source #nodejs application for #NixOS today. A few words of advice (or more of a plea) to my fellow #FOSS JS devs:
1. Don't try to modify your frontend assets at runti…

Okay why tf would it be that `nix profile install git ssh://myurl` always installs a version some commits behind? 😠 `nix profile ugprade` the same.
UPDATE: use --refresh.

Recently switched from arch to #nixos and encountering a strange networking issue where network over wifi drops out every ~30 seconds or so. Very occasionally had problems on arch but nothing this bad.
Have been enjoying getting to grips with #networking but this one is particular annoy…

Nice #nixos Oslo meetup today. Meeting up with old friends and seeing https://github.com/ezemtsov presenting about building monorepo tooling using the TVL Kit (https://github.com/tvlfyi/kit)

#NixOS driving me nuts right now. Keeps rebuilding coreutils for aarch64-linux when building for my RPi (but it's definitely in the cache, so it has to be some obscure special version deep down), it takes ONE.FRICKING.HOUR just for it to fail on ONE 'test-free' (qemu: uncught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - core dumped). 😠
Also, I can't override what I don't find, w…

Interesting post from tazjin, an experienced #nixos contributor, about trying #guix https://tazj.in/blog/trying-guix#fnref1 it didn’t particularly make me want to try guix, but it was an informative and fun read.

Ah, that's where my 133GB disk space went 😅

Wait, does #uv just make #Python work without #FHS shenanigans on :nixos: #NixOS? 🤨
