Not entirely shure where I’m taking a wrong turn here..

• I’m provisioning a throw-away server using an emphemeral key
• the server is tagged as “server” and “ephemeral”
• I can see it as ephemeral in my Tailscale admin panel
• I’m running tailscaled with “—state=mem”
• I’m even doing an explicit “tailscale logout” on shutdown

Yet.. the instance sticks around in my Tailscale control panel for hours if not longer and blocks the hostname during that time.

Anyone in the same situation?

🚀✨ Behold, the magical Devbox! A miraculous tool that promises to wrap your #development nightmares in a shiny #Docker box 🎁, just like every other tool that came before it. But hey, at least it'll keep your laptop from melting while you try to remember yet another command syntax. 🔥🙃

TIL: in #devbox (#nix), packages have different "outputs". So when my #rust compilation fails, because it cannot link with curl, it is not enough to run

devbox add curl

because that only adds the "bin" and "man" outputs. And, even though an output named "lib" is sometimes available, most of the packages don't have it :(

The last output is called "out", where all the other stuff goes in. So the rust linker needs

devbox add curl -o out

Logical, no?

Ohai #nixOS und #developer Bubble! Was bevorzugt ihr: #devenv (https://devenv.sh/) oder #devbox (https://www.jetify.com/devbox/)?

Meine und eure Gedanken dazu: 👇ich freu' mich auf eure Replies!

Bitte :BoostOK: für mehr Input 😊

I’ve just been told about #Devbox and #devenv. Are they as cool as they claim to be? Looks like they both bring everything I could’ve wanted for my development environments.
(Powered by #Nix, btw.)

In fact our talk about "Reproducible environments is all you need" during #rsecon24 is on youtube. If you're interested how to make your project more reproducible and easier to participate for others, check it out:

I already did some PRs to other projects including a `devbox.json` - it's really useful to have the "correct" version of all those developer tools.

lets see what happend when you're testing #gitlab runner locally by using podman with https://podman-desktop.io/docs/migrating-from-docker/emulating-docker-cli-with-podman and #devbox as package installer for the project

if you're using #devbox tool by #nix dont use "ansible-later" package, instead use "ansible" #devops

if you're a #developer #devops or a #pikachu using #devbox tool and #ohmybash I set a simple if statement to hanfle it, further info here https://website.castrillo.eu/post/bash-terminal-devbox/ :blobcattea:

welcome to my develop life #devbox such amazing tool #DevOpsTools

#Devbox is really awesome for #Python development.

#Nix packages mixed with virtual env, so if a Nix package doesn't exist for a specific python module, then pip can be used.

@seanm yeah, as far as I know, it's just this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/taskbar/configure-windows-10-taskbar

... and that caveat is awful:

> If you use a provisioning package or import-startlayout to configure the taskbar, your configuration will be reapplied each time the explorer.exe process restarts.

I was hoping there would be something about this for #DevBox but I don't see anything.

Weeks of experimentation has resulted in this masterpiece ;) Hope you find it useful & informative.

Kann man lokale Entwicklungsumgebungen effizient, reproduzierbar und isoliert aufsetzen? Und das auch bei verschiedensten Tech-Stacks?

Wie das mit #Devbox ganz ohne Container (und Cloud) geht haben wir in einem Artikel in unserem Journal beschrieben:

Introducing: the new Windows app – a refreshed new #unified client #experience to connect to your Windows 365 Cloud PCs, AVD Desktops/RemoteApps, RDS, Remote Desktop, or Microsoft Dev Box from ONE single app! That’s not everything, next to Windows - it’s also available for Mac, iOS, and Web browsers/endpoints.

Pro-tip if using #Azure #DevBox or #AVD,
The keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Home will focus on the RDP window&then you can use host machine shortcuts.
I.e. I have My DevBoxes/AVDs fullscreen on its own monitor&virtual desktop, use Ctrl+Alt+Home then CTRL+Win+⬅️/➡️to switch between.

Microsoft Dev Box was first announced in May 2022 to give developers a way to access workstations in the cloud. After nearly a year in public preview, Dev Box is now generally available. #Microsoft #DevBox https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-dev-box-is-now-generally-available-for-cloud-based-developer-workstations/

Microsoft has announced several developer tools and solutions today at its Build 2023 event. Leaked previously, the company has unveiled its new Dev Box today which claims to boost VS performance. #MsBuild #Microsoft #DevBox https://www.neowin.net/news/alongside-2tb-ssd-microsoft-dev-box-gets-visual-studio-performance-boost-on-windows/

For the first time in a decade, today I captured my Windows setup instructions. The effort is prompted by our team adopting #DevBox instances.

- 10% is uninstalling #Windows bloatware
- 75% is making #Edge usable
- 10% is fighting #OneDrive sync
- The remaining 5% is the good stuff

The good stuff:
- 1Password
- Terminal
- PowerShell (with lots of goodies in my profile)
- Starship
- File Explorer comfort settings

I can't help but try out every new #nix tool. I've been using #devbox to manage all my non-#python project dependencies. I'm a big fan: the https://jetpack.io team is so responsive to feedback. Gave #flox a try today which is similar but uses their own rolling release #nixpkgs "stability" channels. You get your pick of triweekly, weekly, or monthly freshness.

Should I do a blog post comparison of @domenkozar's https://devenv.sh, flox, and Devbox? 🤔

Congrats to the folks over at jetpack.io for the newest #devbox release. I’ve been experimenting with it a bit and it’s a really solid tool. The #nix installer is the easiest install process for nix I’ve ever tried (and I’ve tried a few). Give it a shot if you’re looking for a slightly more ergonomic way to use nix.
