I'm going to quote https://save-nix-together.org/ : > Single-handedly blocking Meson, which has a passed RFC, for five years because he doesn’t know meson but knows his own build system I don't know about exact

I'm afraid the letter spread some misinformation: The meson RFC has in fact not been approved: https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/132 For a discussion on this, see https://github.com/KFea

This is a great post, very well said! Over the weekend I’ve been working with NixOS foundation members and other community members to address what you’re describing, and I’m happy to say that the foundation is very willing to delegate gover

Flakes has an unfortunate past [1]. The fact that so many people are using Flakes now and treating them as stable makes it effectively impossible to make drastic changes, even though the design is flawed in many ways [2]. Nevertheless, the

Hello, the person you're speaking about here. I appreciate all the concern but I'm actually doing very good! While working on Nix was originally a hobby for me, I am now getting paid to do it, so it doesn't have to eat up any

I think https://lobste.rs/ is pretty good at staying focused on programming

I've got a similar setup myself, check out https://lobste.rs/s/yppnts/tailscale_on_nixos_new_minecraft_... where I describe how I did it. It's quite custom but all open source. https://github.

- /nix has been the (default) location for at least 15 years without problems, changing this now just because Apple messed with this would be very strange - With Nix, every path in /nix/store has its own ./bin, ./sh

As choward already mentioned, I think NixOS is a very good choice: aarch64 is decently well supported with a bunch of people running NixOS on their Raspbys, and cross compilation support is really good too if needed. See https://

You should be able to make the webserver reverse proxy from https://eliot-jones.com/hntrends to http://localhost:5690 , e.g. with nginx [0] and httpd [1] [0]: https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/adm

Yes Nix has been around for a while and is a very good package manager. But please don't be disrespectful to everybody who doesn't know about it, it's still rather unknown in general.

From what I can gather from the FAQ, this won't work for routers behind a NAT, which is the case for me and I assume many others too, this should probably be mentioned somewhere. A bit worrying that it'll be forever closed source,

If you're doing so much casting you're doing something wrong. Swift's power comes from the type system, which alleviates the need for all casting in general. Instead of using a [String: Any] dictionary which bears no meaning

It's a bit messy, but everything related to zsh should be in here [1]. Apparently the vim command editor thing comes at least partly from prezto [2] [1]: https://github.com/Infinisil/system/blob/master&#x

I almost couldn't watch the videos on this website because of their size, 50MB each! Just a simple `ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -crf 23 out.mp4` reduces the size by a factor of 10 without noticeable difference. If the blog author is reading this,

There are ways to get around the immutability, but they are very highly discouraged and I haven't seen anybody use them other than newcomers. Think of it like `unsafePerformIO :: IO a -> a` in Haskell. Namely there is: - Making the
