    Hey #nixos #nixpkgs community - what does #nix do when one of my remove builders is not available?

    Like... I list 4 different in my remote builder configuration, but one is not available.

    I would assume it does the right thing, but well, I think I better ask...

    Did you know NixOS plans to cut a `26.05` release by the end of May? (schedule: github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issue)

    Today release process entered Zero Hydra Failures phase (github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issue).

    It's a great opportunity to contribute to `nixpkgs`. I tried squashing one `ZHF` failure today: trofi.github.io/posts/349-Zero

    Hiii,

    I’m quantenzitrone [ˈkvantn̩t͡siˈtʁoːnə] or short Zitrone, a mostly male #human. If your native language has a word for Zitrone (Lemon) with the same roots as Zitrone (de), e.g. Citron (fr), Cytryna (pl) or Sitruuna (fi), you may also use that one.

    I like computers, especially those running #GNUlinux especially #NixOS. I’m still setting up my #homeserver with NixOS. I maintain a few packages and nixos modules in #nixpkgs. I'd call myself a nixpkgs maintainer. No commit bit, tho. Yet.

    I like #programming, especially in #rustlang, sometimes when programming in other languages I notice that they are in fact not Rust. Sometimes I complain about it on here.

    I like playing board or card games and i like cycling. What else? IDK, life. Just the joy of being, thinking and feeling.

    I may meow at you especially if you’re cute OR meow-at-able

    I study computer science at @uniheidelberg

    You may meet me in the #RaumZeitLabor or at the #GPN, #ChaosCommunicationCongress, #MRMCD, #NixCon or #LixCon. (TODO: try out and go to more events)

    My favourite logic gate is XOR.

    GitHub recently announced that starting with v2.91.0 GitHub CLI will start sending pseudonymized telemetry data back to GitHub.

    github.blog/changelog/2026-04-

    Since this is an opt-out feature, most users will have it activated without knowing it. This is unacceptable in my opinion. So I took the liberty of turning this into an opt-in, disabled by default for nixpkgs.

  24. A.B. Murrow @[email protected] ·

    Blog post by @luj that escaped my attention until now asking just how reproducible nix and NixOS is at scale? Turns out, he's been studying this exact question since 2017 and did a part of his PhD study on it.

    luj.fr/blog/is-nixos-truly-rep

    The answer? In 2017, about 60% of builds from nixpkgs were bitwise reproducible.

    Now, it's over 90%.

    This is great news! Especially since we don't have any tools that actively monitor this, so there isn't any active process that enforces reproducibility outside of nix itself (and the reproducibility team, let's not forget)

    Great work, and great writeup. I look forward to reading more in the paper he teases in the post.

    A simple analogy for anyone to understand how #nix is different from tools like #ansible etc

    Ansible(convergent) is like carving a wood, where u have some existing state like plain wood which u tinker continuously until u achieve the expected state

    Nix(congruent) is like 3d printing, where the exact expected state is created from the start🔥

    It's almost time for NixOS release 26.05, which means I've been really busy trying to get the NixOS Drupal service ready for the big day! I've been hard at work fixing bugs and adding new features that will make it easier to package and run custom Drupal packages on NixOS.

    I realized recently that I've been working on this project for nearly a year now, so it might be a good time to blog about the things I've done since last year, and talk about what's next for Drupal on NixOS.

    Good morning everyone,
    I have seen, that my nixpkgs commit is unverified, because my GPG-Key is valid for another email address. But I can't use it, because I use the Github alias for commits.

    Can I use one GPG-Key for multiple email adresses and how can I achieve that? :)

    🚨 New Blog Post Alert: Kotlin-lsp Packaging Pt 2

    First time dealing with prebuilt binaries in Nix. What looked like a simple version bump ended up involving a native library, some patchelf debugging, and pulling in libgcc for libgcc_s.so.1.

    autoPatchelfHook from nixpkgs made it fairly straightforward in the end.

    #NixOS / #nixpkgs questions: I'm running against nixos-unstable. Home Manager has a "news" feature that tells me when things change in ways I might care about. Does anyone have a cunning way to get notified about changes to the Nixpkgs and NixOS release notes?

    I can write my own monitoring script, but if there's a way of doing this that doesn't require reinventing this particular wheel, that'd be preferable!
