#ksv236 — Public Fediverse posts

Hi All
Recently, just few weeks back, after reading about the #nixmultiverse blog. I got inspired and wanted to explore the possibilities. So I vibe coded a project to test and prototype the design.

It's called super-comma-nix. It's inspired by comma-nix.
It's to let users try nix #shell, nix run commands more easily with shorthand instead of long commands.
I have added nix output monitor & also added a #sandbox feature so far.

Of course easily bypassable problem with local scoping of those var only to the project. But would be great if we have little more unique names which also have the project name in it to make things readable and quickly understand that those are for this or that particular project.

Just a random thought I had. Haha

And also love the holos.social giving power to people by #selfhosting #activitypub in a mobile. (Have to learn the architecture etc before the day with my hectic plans but I know my excitement will push me😁)

Day 3 #Stalls:
( I'm more eager for this day personally)
I planned a stall for 2 topics combined:
#Nix ecosystem and Holos.Social . Love to explain curious minds how some projects in the nix ecosystem does things in a way which many wouldn't have thought of. Like #devenv, #nixos, #nix-wrapper-modules, #nixdockerTools, #homemanager, #nixsystemmanager, etc

Day 2 #Workshop:

Love to break the myth "#nix is hard to get started" by teaching students to get started into #nixecosystem with basic nix run, nix shell commands. Let's see how far I can do in just 2 hours and at the end plan to show some cool stuffs like preconfigured #packages, bootstrapping things with just a single 'nix run' command and if time permits to demonstrate #devenv

Day 1 Hackathon:

Easy trick for #nix users, but the use cases are really cool. So always wanted to try such a thing. Not participating for prize, but just for the sake of participation and to teach anyone on the day who's curious about it😀. Just trying to bring the #kubernets (#k0s) frictionless benefits and nix's reproducibility and multi version coexistence benefits.

10+ years of casual #linux user. Now in #NixOS for 1.5+ years what a journey.

One thing I learnt about myself over the years is that, I might not be a pro Linux knowledgeable guy.

But my tenacity will push me to learn things deeper & deeper when things go wrong. I know I might not be the best at Linux, but that won't stop me from digging deeper when something goes wrong. My tenacity & the way I blend multiple domains to other domains is my skill I guess i.e Creativity

#ksvthoughts #ksv236

Maybe this year I'll find my career path and move steadily. And no matter what, I won't give up on the skills learning. Coz that's my passion not for the sake of any Job. That way it'll stick with me and let me cross some tough topics for me to understand.
I know I can't be the best of something, but I wanna be the best version of myself

Also check these slides out, which also works as a self explanatory blog like reading about nix shells. Made it for a workshop months ago in a regional open source conference, made for beginners to intermediate.
