#nixos — Public Fediverse posts

This is what I do to keep my #nixos store as small as I can when space is limited. Are there more tweaks?

Official announcement will follow next week: we're meeting on Tuesday, October 6 for our next @NixRust meetup in #Mannheim. We still have time for a second talk, so if you have a topic or project related to #RustLang or #NixOS that you'd like to present, get in touch!

Ich benutze #NixOS und würde meine Distro definitiv _nicht_ für Anfänger empfehlen 😜

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/

#nix #nixos

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 🤞

#nixos #wtf

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

I just started exploring NixOS. I'm not sure if I opened a can of worms or a new passion.

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

Playing around with #NixOS, #hyprland and #quickshell. Super cool. Weirdest part is there is absolutely no great way to set up a calendar app with meeting reminders.

Not at the top priority list of hipster ricers, apparently! 🤓

Using a weird mix of Evolution and Gnome Online Accounts at the moment.

Как я перешёл на NixOS и настроил там OpenClaw

Полгода на Arch, одно обновление ядра и AmneziaWG выходит из строя. Snapper молчит, бэкап сломан. Решил попробовать NixOS…

#nixos #flakecheck has often #oom -ed my #thinkpad devices and using my #supermicro server shows that it uses up to 22 Gb #RAM (of 42 in use at the time) if given free reign, which explains just how demanding flake check is, and even then does not finish #build fast but takes 10 mins. Often one has to set the #maxjobs to 1 and #cores to 2 and set up #swap and #zram to prevent oom on smaller machines like old thinkpads. #flakes

So today I failed to configure #anubis in front of #publicinbox on #nixos

So about the #Kyocera #CUPS driver needing insecure #pypdf3 situation:

I guess this is not only a #NixOS problem but concerns anyone wanting to use their Kyocera printer on Linux. I understand that pypdf3 is deprecated and one should use just pypdf, but the kyocera driver is proprietary, so how would one fix that? 🤔

I guess Kyocera themselves don't care whatsoever...

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/504557

Oh great, I cannot execute their "saa" support tool because of #NixOS "things"...

Could not start dynamically linked executable: ./saa
NixOS cannot run dynamically linked executables intended for generic
linux environments out of the box. For more information, see:

Обновил web-сервер Angie до версии 1.11.4.

I try to set up a #nixos host with a #simple-nixos-mailserver and #publicinbox and test the whole thing with a nixos VM test.

But I fail hard to get the very basics working - right now making public-inbox behind a nginx reverse proxy available (curl'ing the site returns 404).

Has someone done this before and some nix code I can look at?

i'm ewan — developer, writer, occasional poet. i build open-source ATProto tooling,
self-host most of my own infrastructure, and take commissions for things i'm actually
good at.

if any of that is useful or interesting to you, ko-fi.com/ewancroft
is where commissions live:

• poetry from £10
• short stories from £20
• SvelteKit websites from £100

everything's CC BY-SA 4.0. no NDAs, no nonsense.

tips are also welcome if you've got use out of anything i've made or written.
either way, cheers.

I ask this every now and then here: has someone a #nixos #mailserver #snm setup for #mailinglist #mailinglists with #publicinbox (the software, not the concept) that they can share?

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...]

Has someone a template for setting up simple #nixos #mail #server #snm with a mailinglist (or multiple) and #publicinbox ?
