Completely mind blown by all the things Farid Zakaria has been releasing these last weeks. Please STAHP ! 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?

Encryption is non-negotiable. So far, so obvious. However, having to enter passwords at every reboot takes time and increases the risk of errors, as is always the case when manual intervention is required.
We’ve therefore automated our server reboots on NixOS using kexec. Interested in the tech details? Here they are:

What are people doing to defend against scraper waves that totally over do it nowdays?
Anubis? AS blocking? fail2ban? Banning expensive endpoints behind logins? nginx rate limits? What else?I would very much appreciate if people could share blogs, configs, ideas, repos, anything. :blobcathearthug:

Taking a break for a short post on configuring a NFS server and subsequent clients using NixOS

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@nobodyinperson/116526914580592694
Okay as it's such a hassle to get a working #Spyder going on #NixOS, I made this flake so you can use this command to launch Spyder with your desired packages available:
> nix run git+https://codeberg.org/nobodyinperson/nix-spyder#withPackages numpy scipy pandas matplotlib ...
EDIT: 👆 And Mastodon still can't do Markdown, so it wrecks the displayed link. If you copy-paste it, it should be correct though.

Installing #Spyder on :nixos: #NixOS, ugh... 😩
• must use spyder from unstable, in stable it depends on insecure qtwebengine-5
• it runs, but the interactive terminal needs spyder_kernels module
• adding python3Packages.spyder-kernels to the python env, doesn't help
• putting python3Packages.spyder{,-kernels} both into current Python env is a problem, how do I make a nixpkgs.overlays to pick certain Python packages from unstable?😑....

Die zerbrechlichen Ketten der Bequemlichkeit
Ein Plädoyer für die digitale Emanzipation Europas
Wir haben unsere digitale Freiheit gegen Komfort eingetauscht. Microsoft, Amazon, Google und Meta bestimmen, wie wir kommunizieren, arbeiten und denken. Der CrowdStrike-Schock war kein Unglück, er war eine Ansage. Es ist Zeit, die Ketten zu sprengen. Ein Plädoyer für die digitale Emanzipation Europas. [Mehr lesen...]

@Sigma I understand. Without any real documented alternatives and migration paths, changes like this can be expected to trip up people though 🙃
- #fscrypt only supports some filesystems, setup and migration seem very manual and tedious, no #nixos wiki page or writeups
- #gocryptfs is FUSE, but also seems tedious, nothing for nixos either
- #CryFS is totally not designed for homedir encryption (though someome tried but stopped).
