#devenvsh — Public Fediverse posts

Hi All, especially Nix users,
The coolest upgrade the nix ecosystem ever got for nixpkgs

What a game changer approach 🔥🔥🔥

Devenv adopted it already. https://devenv.sh/pinning/

The project is too good to ignore 🔥❤️🔥❤️

If I ever recommended devenv to you: I'm sorry!
The new version (1.4) has a function which will silently upload your entire repo you call it on to their servers to do whatever with it – they call it telemetry, not exfiltration.
If you're on nixos stable you didn't get 1.4 yet, so you can fix your machine before it gets impacted.

My new recommendation is to uninstall devenv, delete your devenv configs, use anything else.
They are saying they will roll that change back, but the tool is burned, there's no recovering from this.
