It's not mainly about speed (although the ceiling is much higher), but about ergonomics, and, plainly, enjoyability. The other benefit of making your own environment is mastery and control; only you can decide when and how the environm

I agree, I'm very much against any line length constraint, it's arbitrary and word wrapping exists.

No one can tell what the exact multipliers are, but history has shown us that what happens is everyone gets richer.

I don't use Determinate Nix but I've heard it recommended. As I've said I've had 1 or 2 issues with my Nix install on Mac over several years. Re: ffmpeg, it's just something do to with default codecs or something I

This is just from my experience, I'm not part of any kind of Nix cult or anything, not that I'm aware of. I don't know what you're talking about re: third party wrappers, this is just an option for a slightly easier and

I'm curious of what the packages are because I only have ~10 packages that I use from homebrew, either very Mac-specific or that have better packaging (ffmpeg, mpv)

An easy option nowadays is Determinate Nix https://docs.determinate.systems/determinate-nix/

I'm interested in how you use that homebrew-to-nix converter, if you have links to configs or can describe it briefly! I agree that nix-darwin is a bit overkill, I mainly use it for the homebrew integration, but I think so is home-mana

Oh yeah, I knew about devbox but hadn't seen (perhaps it's new) that it can handle global packages: https://www.jetify.com/docs/devbox/devbox_global/

Yeah, I'm just addressing you specifically, you could switch easily and Nix has a much larger package selection (outside of GUI apps on macOS). And it immediately can do more via nix-shell -p, which can be also be used as shebang. But

by lambdaba 1y ago
I think Nix has a marketing issue as it goes so deep. But if you're going to consider it only as an alternative to homebrew, you don't have to know anything aside from different CLI invocations: `nix-shell -iA <package>` to

I sort of get what you're saying and I've had a few sporadic issues myself, once or twice I had to reinstall (although might have been my mishandling), but overall I can't see a better solution than this. Plus I can share the

Nix (and nix-darwin for persistent config) already does the job for non-GUI apps better than anything else could (its catalog is unmatched), and homebrew (also available in nix-darwin) handles GUI apps.

You don't strictly need it, it just makes it a tiny bit more convenient since you can set it up to override DNS on any connected device, and Tailscale sets up a private VPN mesh between your devices I've come to get take for grant
28.
by lambdaba 1y ago
There's a lot more to Tailscale but for a basic setup you just install the client on all your devices, and set DNS to the NextDNS endpoint. Any device on your network will automatically pick it up.

by lambdaba 1y ago
Tailscale with NextDNS is a simpler alternative to this and is easy to set up on all your devices.

I tried it briefly but I think it's semi-abandoned? Maybe I should give it another shot. Only non negociables for me are Stylish and Violentmonkey.
