Yay, I added my #yannix flake to search.nixos.org. You can now find my #nix / :nixos: #NixOS stuff on the official search page:
📦 my packages:

For a truly reproducible ™️ :nixos: #NixOS config, I guess one should implement auto-restore of a backup if services are started without any data present.

I tried being a normie and running #bazzite on my steam deck for a couple of months, but I think I’m gonna have to return to #nixos and #joviannixos - it’s just better.

copying "/nix/store/0lgkd7b0s5ykklkijr9g62r832qdvgvx-nixos-25.05.20250622.c7ab752/nixos" to the store
Why does it take 30 seconds to (uselessly) copy something from the nix store to the nix store?

One of the hidden powers of NixOS:

Out of sheer curiosity I tried pushing the nixpkgs git repository to tangled.org and while their git server handled it just fine, their web interface absolutely didn't. 🥲 (not that much of a surprise, but I still had to try)
#tangled #nix

Yesterday, when I was doodling away with NetBSD, I ssh'ed in from my NixOS Cosmic install. Later, having turned it off and on again, everything was updated and the garbage had been collected, all in the background, no intervention required. All nixpkgs, this setup. Didn't even notice. Still amazes me.

Just bought the tickets for #NixCon today!
Looking forward to seeing all of you lovely people again.

Da reiche ich einmal nichts beim #Tübix ein (weil unklar, ob ich tatsächlich da bin) und Zack gibts keinen einzigen :nixos: #NixOS talk... 😑
Na dann muss ich wohl zumindest einen Lightning Talk dazu machen 😉

Finally a way to allow certain unfree :nixos: #NixOS packages by name (patterns) that composes from different modules (which nixpkgs.config.allowUnfreePredicate frustratingly does not)

Nix is probably a pun by Eelco Dolstra, the creator of Nix, on the Dutch word 'niks', which means 'nothing'. "What are you doing? Niks!" Niksen means sth like doing nothing specific, just procrastinating. As such it's no coincidence I'm both a Nikser and a Slacker. I've found my space.

Finally managed to generate my :nixos: #NixOS module documentation with proper links to their declarations:

Hi I'm new here
Here's my #introduction
I'm a programmer got into #linux like 2 years ago and fell in love with it. After alot of distro hopping ricing and breaking of my system I'm currently on

Trying out #Vikunja as a todo / project manager. It's super easy for #selfhosting with #nixos, and just has some media files and an sqlite database to store and backup.
It provides some nice visua…

Been playing with phosh under #nixos on the fairphone 5, but was struggling to get the keyboard to pop up. Turns out the fix was setting GTK_IM_MODULE to wayland instead of nixos's default ibus. I think maybe the phosh module should have autodetected that we're on wayland? Also, I don't like that phosh is running a service directly instead of using a display manager. When you enable it, it overrrules the existing display manager...

Btw if anyone's interested in declaratively configuring their Linux phones with Nix to avoid having to redo everything manually after flashing, system-manager works fine on postmarketOS!
Here's my Fairphone's configuration if you want something for reference: #postmarketOS #Nix #Fairphone #LinuxMobile #Linux #NixOS
