#lix — Public Fediverse posts

#Nix / #Lix wishlist: the short version of the trace always includes the issues identified in files that aren't the nix(os) sources.

Those are probably the ones that most users need to see....

@feoh Maybe you should look at the OSes #nixos and #guix . There is #Lix too, but it is super close to Nix/NixOS.

I think they have thought about it since 20 years

Nothing stops you from keeping multi users!

Nixos only breaks the FHS in super litghtweight ways: but it totally does

/nix/store or /gnu/store is the new /usr/local and /usr/bin /usr/sbin

Fellas, I have 2 months before my next major commitment, my j*b. Wish me luck as I attempt to fully internalize the workings of #nixOS, #nix the language, and nix the pacman. I'd set up a #systemd #nspawnd #container for regular linux work. (I'd like other suggestions on this). My current plans:

- #flakes/'modern' practices
- dotfile integration (not using #homemanager)
- use #bitwarden integration somehow natively and bridging between bitwarden store cloned locally and #linux keystore (not even sure what I mean here)
- #secureboot that unseals the encrypted root partition keys from the TPM and auto-decrypts my root
- #nixpak as much
- package my scripts to be proper packages/flakes/modules/whatever for better integration
- #snix/ #lix?
- #dhall config instead?

Give more suggestions/tips

Whenever I can, I always add the option

--log-format multiline-with-logs

to my #nix commands just to get that maximum verbosity and scroll through history in case of failure.

Ps: #lix recently added an option to nix.conf to make it a default behavior. 😀 :badabing:

Very cool. 😎

There is also a mention that this uses #Lix by default.

Just watching the #lixcon talks, and the current talk just talked about "Botanix", does someone know where to find it? I might have missed where he said it's still unpublished?

I'm contemplating installing #NixOS and then replacing Nix with #Lix, and figuring out how to then change the init system to dinit.

*Then* I'll tell literally everyone about it the way people into crossfit tell me about their workouts.

I mean, saying "I Use #Arch BTW" is so passé.

Secret #retro-style #video game tip: #Lix

Lix is a puzzle game where your goal is to guide the walking lix to the exit by giving them abilities like building, digging, blocking, etc.

It’s a #Lemmings clone. And dare I say, the best one I know of.

It has many quality-of-life features like rewind, advancing the simulation by 1 step, etc. There’s even multiplayer.

Why didn't anyone tell me that #lix is in #nixpkgs now and that I can use it without even having to include it in my flake inputs!?!!

I'm experimenting with bytecode compilation in #lix, and evaluating a mid-sized package takes a whopping five minutes but at least it is fully functional and seems to be correct so far

Hey @lix_project, is there an RSS feed of the Lix blog?

🎉🤖 Behold, the revolutionary Lix: the "universal" control system for binary files, because #Git just wasn't enough! Now you can finally keep track of that oh-so-critical change from price 10 to 12 in your spreadsheets. 💼 Because who doesn't want to spend extra time version controlling their Excel files like it's the Holy Grail? 🙄

@henesy I do use #SourceHut for personal projects. Honestly, it's been more reliable than GitHub.
I really wish the #NixOS ecosystem would move to something else, anything other than GitHub. Maybe I should try #Lix, but if I don't want to switch to a distro that I would have to turn into another full time project. I had enough of that with #Guix.
