Completely mind blown by all the things Farid Zakaria has been releasing these last weeks. Please STAPH ! It is hard to stay up to date :)
Here's its latest creation: https://trynix.dev/

Is there a playbook-like resource for getting apps newly packaged in the #nixpkgs store & helping maintainers do updates & field issues? Am making so many homebrew #NixOS overlays from #github / #nixpkgs directly using LLM fixes that this removes the need to share fixes upstream & nixpkgs loses the benefit of feedback. #LLM use risks weakening the centralised #repo culture that advances #FOSS because the vitriol against novices using LLMs to raise issues has seeded a vicious circle of avoidance.

What? I can run `comaps` in #nixos with this simple command?
```
nix-shell -p comaps
```🤯 🤯
-
I've added `services.netbird.relay` to #nixos. Hopefully it gets reviewed soon 🤞

Hi All
Please check this out 😳😳😳
This is just more than awesome🔥
Nix users might go crazy but non nix users will go crazier after realising it's potential.
The world got a new set of possibilities now.
Nix is already revolutionizing enough and this is just crazy 🔥The post have a TLDR section at top. So go ahead and read for yourself and start looking at stuffs in a different way.

@Le_suisse @devalot Thanks for that. Am having this with #grafana which I need to fix as even my #nixos nixpkgs unstable does not have some CVEs fixed. I am feeling this strongly because I am finding the FOSS nixos Sysyphus "lifestyle" has a high DIY dev / webmaster / sys admin time overhead which is a slow learning process & starting to make my worry my remaining time on Earth might be better spent. Is there a magic solution like a safe #flake part that is offered by each package ? #flakeparts

RE: https://social.gerbet.me/@nixpkgssecuritychanges/117214573363362786
What a mess. #NixOS 26.05 uses #Immich 2.x which has a major security vulnerability. The fix won't be backported to 2.x so everyone has to upgrade to 3.x from nixpkgs-unstable. Good thing we have overlays.
How are other distros dealing with this?

I had to boot my fp5 into android to get touchscreen working, so took a detour via sailfishos. It sure is a weird and interesting os. Now thinging about being able to run oss sailfishos apps on mainline qt6 for instance #postmarkos or #nixos

Bitwarden is... fine? It certainly doesn't have the polish of 1Password, but it is functional and for now (🙏) not funding fascists, and so on that basis, is infinitely better.
I may look into self-hosting my vault with VaultWarden at some point, but for now this gets things moving.
If anyone knows how to set up SSH key signing and ssh-agent on #NixOS with #Bitwarden, please point me to any relevant links. That's probably this afternoon's task.

If I need 2 LLMs to update my #nixos #flake #nixpkgs in view of the cascade of problems caused, am I doing anything other than replacing dependency on reliable Apple-like bit tech infrastructure with dependency on having internet & 2 #LLM subscriptions? It might feel like computing & home-labbing & sovereign tech, but is just a mirage. Is the final frontier in my setup: only use a self-hosted LLM to do my #nixos maintenance even if it is inferior, to make myself resilient & free & learn again?

My question above forgot to mention that the strict and machine wide, build checks of #nix #nixos do expose dependency hell issues in a coherent way and fixing stuff with LLM help seems like a healthy normal computer hygiene task. Especially efficient is the LLM's ability to find solutions in the on-line docs automatically. Seems better that these issues happen before one actually seeks to run the apps in question. The LLM use might be (/is) causing comprehension rot on my side. But saves days.

Updating #atuin revealed a #rustcrates #curl download 403 error and required an update of my #nixpkgs which in its inimitable way caused a chain reaction of problems with my flake including an insoluble #i2p package change requiring me to keep a local copy of the old code component in my flake to make it build a home-made tunneling app. Am I doing this wrong? Or is this just the way things are in #nixos and maintenance like this of packages is just inevitable work one has to do periodically?

I've now made it a habit to turn on basic telemetry on new #Linux installs. These people won't use that data for advertising, but _actually_ improving the product. Let them know I put #Kinoite on a #Chromebook, #NixOS on a MacBook and #ArchLinux on a Surface Hub (that last one wasn't actually me).
The Year of the Linux Desktop is NOW, we just don't know, because we've lost all trust in telemetry. -
