I think what irks me the most about the understaffed darwin (= macOS) maintainers situation in #nixpkgs is not only that it forces pure Linux users to look out for darwin quirks and thus invest a significant amount of time in darwin maintenance, but also that a significant amount of the business value of DetSys, Flox and similar

I noticed that the aarch64 git annex standalone build test suite (emulated on NixOS under x86_64) is *far* slower than the the nixpkgs-provided one:
> nix run nixpkgs#legacyPackages.aarch64-linux.git-annex test
# ... takes ~8min
> nix run gitlab:nobodyinperson/yannix#packages.aarch64-linux.git-annex-standalone test
# ... takes ~35min

nix-converter just hit 1.0.0 #nix - I frequently use this with https://github.com/reMarkable/helmfile-nix/ when I want to convert some kubernetes object into a nix chart.

Organising my :nixos: #nix code and splitting out sharable things into a separate repo. Here for example is my package for #forgejoAneksajo (:forgejo: #forgejo :gitannex:

Reinstated Obelix Saigon yesterday. Whereas Asterix is the 'skinny immutable' Nixbook config, with flatpaks layered on top, Obelix is the 'fat' one, with a fully featured configuration.nix. No flakes, no flatpaks, just plain nix pkgs. Works brilliantly. The laptop will go encrypted VoidLinux. Can't go wrong with that either.

So crate2nix has a new maintainer after being dead for roughly two years, but it's all Co-Authored-By Claude Code now.

Thoughts on keeping parts (assets *and* #nix code) of your public :nixos: #NixOS config private?

Public, reusable flake with private parts
I am looking for a way to have a public flake that is reusable as inputs in other flakes, but some parts of the flake are private. I think this is a very common thing, people sharing their config, but don’t want to share their secrets of course or some network settings. If those private parts are just plain files, then agenix or sops can be used, encrypted versions of those secrets are published (still kinda meh, but okay). The problem arises if some nix code should be concealed as well. Her…

Opened a pull request towards nix-converter to improve multiline support. #nix

Okay weird. simple-scan (the simple #Linux scanning app) kept crashing with 'buffer overflow detected'. I tried other versions as far back as from #NixOS 23.11 (nix run github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-23.11#simple-scan), which successfully launched and still detected the scanner. Surprisingly, after a su…

With Aurorix up and running (OCI container with KDE) it's time to start Asterix up also. That's my 'immutable', auto-updating Nix. Although less 'confined' than Aurorix it should be basically the same for the enduser. Looking forward to the comparison.

I've recently reimplemented hei - my #nix / #nixos command helper in go, which massively improved the auto-complete support. In 0.2.1 I've also added a nice --confirm feature to rebuild, which does a nvd diff against your current system before confirming to switch

I think it's time to rip out darwin support from my #nix flake. I no longer use macos and don't see myself going back in that direction. I still have an iPhone (for now) and a bunch of appletvs, but I notice I'm drifting away from the Apple eco-system.
