#lix — Public Fediverse posts

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 I might have missed where he said it's still unpublished?

#albumilustrado #LIX

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? 🙄

Lix – universal version control system for binary files

@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.

fun fact: unflake tests pass (on my laptop) in ~18 seconds when using #CppNix / upstream #Nix, but in just ~15 seconds when using #Lix

this unscientific benchmark shows a ~17% reduction in runtime, which is pretty cool

Sadly this was adequate for meto know what is going on

#lix

So, quick question for my fellow #Distrohopper folks…

Can I use #Lix as a drop-in replacement for #Nix at the OS level? I'm sure I'm not phrasing that right. What I mean is, if I take a #NixOS or NixOS based system and use the Switching to Lix instructions found here:

https://lix.systems/add-to-config/

Am I really running Lix without Nix? I'm kinda confused by the whole thing, and I need it explained to me like n00b or whatever. I feel like I have to be missing something in here somewhere.

Sigh, so apparently Tom Berek of Steering Committee is now working for Anduril. You know, that same Anduril that caused an open letter denouncing MIC sponsoring community events. I don't see how it's acceptable for SC members to work for Anduril, especially in the wake of the whole, you know...

The failure to provide an update to his conflict of interest (and two SC members stating their personal opinions that they don't see much of an issue) is a breach of trust. This means, once again, that the community has to organize by themselves, and demand accountability from people in power. To this end, please spread this information far and wide, and give @nyanbinary a hug. And go support your local #Lix and #Aux representatives.

#NixOS #Nix #Nixpkgs

- Essentially, companies make use of Nixpkgs' existing popularity and of its contents (either directly, as a private fork, or as a practical guide), and promote it back. But Nixpkgs' popularity has a cost. Each commit to it essentially siphons life out of Nix project - which has been looking increasingly pale for a very long time. And Nix is critical infra for Nixpkgs. Doing *anything* with it is extremely challenging - and there are barely any people with the know-how
- Essentially, Nix project is on death's door, one unfortunate accident (such as an irresponsibly revealed CVE) away from collapsing under the weight of Nixpkgs. Conversely, Nixpkgs is a classical #xkcd2347, where the critical piece has been quite literally maintained since 2003, and is now maintained by like 5 people
- #Lix is a big win in this regard, because it can serve as a replacement piece that is maintained by like 5 other people (and that runs into fewer problems overall), but it's not perfect

@[email protected] The people working on #aux and #lix are incredible and definitely inspire a ton of confidence in both projects. I've been using lix since the day it came out and it's been rock solid so far. ​:blobfoxhappy:​

@axel that is something I am fearful of myself. Waiting to see maybe #Aux and #Lix/#Tvix will take off enough to be smooth replacements
