I agree. Also, this is the kind of crystal clear thinking and analysis that we need more of (and why I come to HN). Thank you for cutting though the BS and highlighting the underlying lessons.

Edit: include note on PBMs In the US, insurance companies and Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs)[0] are the biggest threat to smaller, independent pharmacies. Even if your neighborhood has a Mom and Pop pharmacy (a rarity, as you suggest), if

Nix is a language, package manager, and OS. This post discusses NixOS. While docker-compose allows you to compose your containers with a yaml/Dockerfiles, NixOS allows you to compose the system that all of your containers run on (from

Given the extensive infrastructure you and others are building around flakes in the Nix ecosystem, despite flakes still being experimental, what does the roadmap look like for your efforts, and more broadly for officially establishing flake

There's a couple reasons for that. First, for my initial attempt at the project I wanted to make as close of an adaptation from LFS guidance to Nix that I could. While I did sprinkle in some custom kernel configurations (from BLFS guid

Fair questions. If the question is "why did I need to chmod those files", the answer is that permissions modifications in the mkderivation build environment are not propagated to the build output. The quick and dirty solution I ca

Thanks for the input. A couple of folks suggested that recently as well. Once I can clear up some bandwidth, I do intend to follow through on that. It gave me a huge appreciation for Nix as a build system, and I would love to share that if

I gave LFS a go earlier this year. I learned a lot through the process - but I definitely went outside the guardrails. I use NixOS as my daily driver and found myself curious of whether I could complete LFS using a "Nix" approach.

I thought it was intended as more of a pun on questionable displays of human intelligence.

In California, you can get a license plate with your call sign. That's kind of cool, right? Maybe moreso if you have a punny vanity call sign.

As an experienced, very poor climber myself, I enjoy the process of problem solving. However, knowing many experienced, very good climbers - studying beta is how many of them excel. As an aside, the term beta also came from the use of beta

I recently fell into the Linux from Scratch rabbithole. The extra unexpected fun came while attempting to build LFS from within NixOS (my daily driver, which I only had a basic proficiency in). I quickly realized the challenges of following

I appreciate stories like this as a reminder that it is never too late to make a change in your life that is right for you. Some folks stick to their comforts and avoid such a big life change out of fear - but sometimes the temporary discom

Not sure if this applies to your situation, but I believe you can avoid a full rebuild by modularizing the flake.nix derivations into stages (calling a separate *.nix for each stage in my case). That is how it appears to be working for me o

I use nix btw. I totally agree. It (nix and nixos) is/are such a pain so often. But, wow... when you get things to work it is glorious. Quickly and easily syncing system/user/application configurations across multiple devices
