The absolutely most unnecessary :nixos: #nix error ever:
error: cannot coerce an integer to a string: 50000
So nix can't coerce integers to a string, okay. But what's that '50000' back there in the error message, then, huh? πŸ˜… As if it wasn't 100% clear that people want the unambiguous decimal integer representation πŸ™„

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

Any tips on contributing to #nixos ? Been using nixos for 2 or 3 years, and tbh I find it hard to imagine ever using another distro, so I would like to contribute to it, but man it's kinda overwhelming tbh. I want to try to keep a look on the GitHub good first issues, but there are not that many and I want to contribute more to nix os, rather than to individual packages. I don't mind (I…

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

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.

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
