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

Screenshot of an error on tangled.org with the heading "503 - Service unavailable" and the body "We were unable to reach the knot hosting this repository. The service may be temporarily unavailable.". Underneath are two buttons, "Try again" and "Back to timeline".

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.

One of the hidden powers of NixOS:

I've always had a weak spot for NixOS. Don't really care about flakes and home manager, but that you declare one configuration that rules all is incredib...

Why does it take 30 seconds to (uselessly) copy something from the nix store to the nix store?

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:

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! :ablobcatbongo:
Here's my Fairphone's configuration if you want something for reference: #postmarketOS #Nix #Fairphone #LinuxMobile #Linux #NixOS

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)

OPTIONS.md · main · Yann Büchau / ❄️ yannix · GitLab
Yann's nix library, packages, utilities, etc.
