nix-unit looks like a nice way to test your #nix libraries https://clan.lol/blog/nix-unit/

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 @…

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.
For me it is still the best experience in #freesoftware I…

Good bye NixOS, Hello #Debian (Again)!

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, …

Thanks @… for posting this on discourse 3 years ago #nix to trigger a mismatch a bit earlier than $currentDate

Just published v0.14.0 of helmfile-nix, a wrapper around helmfile in go to allow you to use the #nix language to manage helm releases on kubernetes rather than yaml go templating. This release adds functionality to also write ad-hoc helm charts directly in nix. https://github.com/reMarkable/helmfile-nix/releases/tag/v0.14.0 we provide binaries as well as a docker image with static nix based on alpine. You can also use it as a flake.

So on my way to setting up #NixCon2025 😴

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

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

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.

And yet another 100 lines of :bash: #bash because :nixos: #nix flakes don't play nice with :gitannex: #gitAnnex... 😑

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