  2. Okay, first problem with Flox: there doesn't seem to be an easy / generic way to install it 😅

    The install docs (flox.dev/docs/install-flox/ins) have links to DEB and RPM packages, as well as instructions for Nix; but I'm on another distro... I suppose step 1 would be to install Nix? 🤔

    (Instructions unclear; got my nix stuck in GPU fans)

    #flox #nix #planetnix #scale23x

  3. starts tomorrow in Pasadena. Join us to talk reproducibility, secure software by construction, and just some great community conversation.

  4. We’re at @cfgmgmtcamp in Ghent! 👋

    Big shoutout to Tanja, Stahnke, Rok, and Dan for representing the Flox crew.

    👉 Wednesday at 2pm — join our workshop where we’ll use to introduce the core ideas behind the Nix ecosystem without requiring you to learn the Nix language or climb its steep learning curve.

    You can also swing by our booth to chat about reproducible environments and the power of ❄️

  5. You got a new laptop for Christmas. Suh-weet!

    You absolutely want to build software with it, which means setting up your local dev environment. Easier said than done! Experience has taught you that setting up a local dev environment is a Sisyphean enterprise: things always break, so you find yourself repeating the same motions over and over again.

    This time, however, you’ve got . And that makes all the difference.

  6. I might've found a local development setup with #Flox and #Just that I don't hate...

  7. Layering and composition are two powerful ways to create and share environments.

    ✅ Layering gives you flexibility in emergent, unpredictable situations.

    ✅ Composition gives you reproducibility, auditability, and predictable behavior at runtime—at the cost of some upfront design and testing.

  8. We’ve been talking a lot about Build & Publish lately but here’s something for those who may not know yet.

    In this quick demo video, Ross shows what that looks like:

    - Installing tools
    - Spinning up a dev environment
    - Keeping everything portable, reproducible, and easy to share

  9. How many tools do you use to manage your tooling?

    gives you a new way to work with packages and build reproducible development environments without using containers.

    ✅ It gives users transparent, no-hassle access to the tools, files, and environment variables in their local systems.
    ✅ It enables teams to create portable, reproducible development environments that behave the same way anywhere, taking advantage of available OS, CPU, and even GPU capabilities.
