Trying to package @… for :nixos: #NixOS, wish me luck :blobcatspace:

Wrote a post on creating fully declarative grafana kiosks using #nixos https://marcus.means.no/post/2025-05-25-building-a-grafana-kiosk-with-nixos/

#NixOS driving me nuts right now. Keeps rebuilding coreutils for aarch64-linux when building for my RPi (but it's definitely in the cache, so it has to be some obscure special version deep down), it takes ONE.FRICKING.HOUR just for it to fail on ONE 'test-free' (qemu: uncught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - core dumped). 😠
Also, I can't override what I don't find, w…

Ah, that's where my 133GB disk space went 😅

Has anyone provided helper functions with and for one of their :nixos: #NixOS modules? 🤔

Providing helper functions in and for a module
Some (of my) module options would benefit greatly from helper functions for defining option values. An example would be populating services.jupyterub.kernels, which can get quite verbose if you include things like wrapping in an FHS env or custom virtualenv management. Sure, types.submodule exists, but such a submodule is rather suitable for perfectly similar structures with just different values. Instead, something like this would be helpful: { pkgs, config, lib, ... }: { services.jupyterhu…

Anyone else having trouble resolving the @… cache today? #nixos

I upgraded my lenovo #T490 from #NixOS 24.11 to 25.05 within an hour or so.
I've lost "xdu" (custom package doesn't compile anymore), had to manually download a closed source binary once again, had to manually replace "okular" with "kdePackages.okular" and remove &quot…

Yay, I finally figured out how to build HTML documentation of my custom :nixos: #NixOS options. 🥳
Some thoughts:
- It still contains *all* normal NixOS options (it's a 13MB HTML file...)
- I don't see a way to filter for only my custom options - be it just by regex for example
- It's the documentation of *possible* options, doesn't include the actually chosen val…

Finally! I was able to install #nixOS back on my work computer. What a delight, everything just works and is declarative, customized to my preference. I really love #KDE #plasma6

I have joined the #Immich cult and I am *very* impressed. :nixos: #NixOS made setup a breeze and it slurped 100GB of photos and videos like a champ while staying responsive. Facial recognition is amazing, a bit of manual merging and tagging is necessary, but that's expected. Also the keyword search wor…

Does someone know if it is possible to use the devenv services with flake-parts?
I would like to only consume the nix modules and use them with flake-parts.
I know that services-flake exists but I want specifically the devenv services.

I really wish whoever runs nixos.wiki would shut it down and just setup a redirect to wiki.nixos.org instead #nixos

Anyone using #JupyterHub (services.jupyterhub.enable=true) on :nixos: #NixOS? Then you should have run into the database migration issue here:

Everyone please don't scare away new people on #fedi . They don't have to use #archlinux to post here #nixos is also supported.

Oh wow ​LLMs are just so terrible. 🤦‍♂️
I made a #systemd service watcher¹ ( :nixos: #NixOS module²³) which regularly feeds systemd status outputs into an LLM (mistral here) and sends me an email if it thinks it found real problems. Well, now I always get alarmist emails with bullshit warnings, suc…

@… Have you tried putting #nixbook on 32-bit hardware? I have an Asus eeePC r11cx laying around that I loved at the time and would like to revive. But last time I tried compiling a 32-bit

I don't know why, but on #NixOS 25.05 I'm back again keeping my worktree nice and DIRTY so I can use :gitannex: #gitAnnex'ed files. 🙄
