Blog: Exploring the Dendritic Nix Pattern
This is more of an assessment what I would have to do in order to migrate towards dendritic then an explanation of the pattern itself. But there are links to the relevant source material.

Mal wieder in die Runde gefragt: gibt es in #Mannheim interessierte Co-Organisator:innen, Hosts (also Standort-anbietende Personen/Vereine/Firmen) oder Speaker für ein #RustLang oder #NixOS Meetup im Juni oder der zweiten Jahreshälfte? :nixos: :rust:
Gerne direkt im Fediverse oder per Email an meetups at korz.dev melden.

A new option is available: `programs.microsoft-edge`. Microsoft Edge is now supported by the Chromium-based browser module, sharing the same `commandLineArgs`, `extensions`, `dictionaries` and `nativeMessagingHosts` interface. Note: the `microsoft-edge` package in nixpkgs is only available on `x86_64-linux`. On macOS, install Edge through other means (e.g. the official `.pkg` installer) and set `programs.microsoft-edge.package = null` to manage configuration files only, or supply a custom darwin-compatible package.

Today's `nix` bug is https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/15839.
There `nix` fails to build a derivation that creates files with and without `.tmp` extension:
```
__contentAddressed = true;
postBuild = ''
touch $out.tmp
touch $out
'';

@BeefGriller today I've now seen a post about someone installing #nix on top of their arch install and now netbsd lol
If it were me i think I'm just going to install #gentoo and be done with systemd and all their friends...

I hate NixOS but I love NixOS.
So i wrote a Blogpost to explain.And no it is not just "i can never leave NixOS"
it is actual critique and i am probably gonna leave NixOSHere is the Blogpost why that is
Though it is super long with an expected reading time of almost 20min if you go purely by WPM
I hope you like it and it is understanable. I appreciate all thoughts!
If you like that one: check out my website in general i bet you will find more things you like :3

NixOS - Setup-Guide, Teil 2
In diesem Teil geht es darum wie Starkoch NixOS wirklich zum Sternekoch wird. Wie man die Integration anderer Köche vorbereitet und wie die Speisekarte gesichert wird.

Was just checking out some tvix talks, the tvix-store is certainly attractive with even the replit blog mentioning about 90% storage reduction in cache storage. Even devenv switched to tvix.
But I couldn't see any docs on how can I start using it in my nixos or atleast for nix shells, etc
Am I missing out something or any views on this would help me

Would be really great if
> nix run codeberg:user/repo
was possible. It works for #GitLab and #GitHub already. #Codeberg should also work. Instead, one needs to write this unergonomic thing:
> nix run git+ssh://[email protected]/<user>/<repo>

Over the last months I tried to move from gui to cli. Started with shift from #kde plasma to #niri. On Ubuntu 24LTS this was quite problem, first I used #pacstall, but that was better, I changed to #nix package manager, it simply has a the packages, no need to cargo and apt/nala as much. Also I can chair stuff simpler between systems. Nix also enabled me to remove everything but one #distrobox container. As #arch already has #qgis 4

On that note, if you want to do a talk at one of our meetups get in touch and if your office can host us please get in touch as would be appreciate it. Above all come to our events and lets do more Nix and spread the knowledge.

the nixos unstable unifi package appears to have some linkage error. Wonder how that could happen. It complains about running with a too old java version. I thought avoiding such errors was the entire point of nix and why it referenced specific versions of everything to begin with.
(I'm on nixos 25.11 but pulling in the nixos-unstable unifi package as the one in 25.11 was flagged as having security flaws earlier)

Thinking about flake-parts, kinda wanting to implement it, but it's kinda intimidating.

NixOS - Setup-Guide, Teil 1
Das ist der Auftakt zu einem dreiteiligen Set-up-Guide. Es geht bei Null los und endet in einem Multi-Host-Set-up. Im Teil 1 beschreibe ich die NixOS-Idee, also den brillanten Paradigmenwechsel, sowie erste Schritte für Ein- und Umsteiger.

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:

We're finally configuring Wireguard - but we only get a third of the way there in this blog post. Lots of exciting option config stuff tho, and a new blog feature which lets me interrupt myself.
