At our next #Nix #Heidelberg meetup on Friday, October 17, we'll hear from @… on "Nix in 2025: Why I switched".

Has anyone tried #nixMaid, a systemd-based, fresh alternative to #homeManager? I do like the concept and have had my problems with home-managers slow sequential activation.

I might have spent a little too much time last night on making my #kde plasma config declarative with #nix plasma-manager - pretty happy with the emoji desktop icons and the cheat sheet tho

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 @…

"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)!

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…

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.

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, …

That took way more time than expected.

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?
