harryprayiv<a href="https://mastodon.social/@rasterweb" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rasterweb</a> I have been looking at a FOSS replacement for my Synology NAS. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/truenas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#truenas</a> scale was definitely recommended but I am inevitably drawn to a code-as-infrastructure fetish. I also considered <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nixos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nixos</a> with ZFS but I think it’s time for high-availability capabilities in my homelab. So I COULD do NixOS with a k3s service.Ultimately, I’ll probably instead run a cluster of machines with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/talos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#talos</a> Linux and get that lovely NAS functionality back (and then some) by running a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rookceph" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rookceph</a> image.

Pierre BourdonThe new NixCon organizers: "we will theme NixCon around “bridge-building”, to emphasize the importance of fostering connections [...] what better place to build bridges than Switzerland, where neutrality is so valued"I wonder if they know about the amount of bridges in Switzerland that until 2015 were equipped with TNT as an invasion deterrent (answer: 4,000).TBF I think that's a great metaphor too but probably not the one they intended :)<a href="https://mastodon.delroth.net/tags/nixos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nixos</a>

FurbyOnSteroidsIdk wtf I did, but whenever I update my <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/nixos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nixos</a> it just compiles everything from source. I guess this is what it feels like to use <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/gentoo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gentoo</a>. Update and don't do anything else because the update process takes 2 hours at close to 100% cpu usage <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a>

eshep<a href="https://feddit.it/u/dontblink" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@dontblink</a> I'd think <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> would be ideal for this task. As for hardware, any of the SBCs listed on their <a href="https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOS_on_ARM" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ARM page</a> should do.

Stephen McNamara<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nixos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nixos</a> roadblock getting a m.2 <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#google</a> Coral TPU up 😮‍💨 no more steam left this Sunday morning. Swapping for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ubuntu</a> and Docker so I can start testing with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OpenWebUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenWebUI</a>.I have not been defeated yet though! Once my PCIe to m.2 e-key adapter shows up I will attempt to get the device working with NixOS once again. I want the device on the main app server.

famfo"Oh the server is in the rack, time to bootstrap <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> for ppc64le"Well, you can't bootstrap NixOS on IPv6 only.I will not elaborate on how these two events are connected.

Sr. Estegosaurio 🦕<a href="https://growers.social/@jpaskaruk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jpaskaruk</a> I see <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> appreciation, I fav. I am a simple individual.

JimmyChezPants<a href="https://growers.social/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> is so cool!

JimmyChezPantsHey <a href="https://growers.social/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> I am quite comfortably ensconced in the OS now, but I haven't gotten all my creature comforts dialed in, could use some pointers to the best current info source on a couple things.First off, home manager, which as I understand it is how I setup my .bash* files and other personal user account stuff, but is there good five minute explainer or a quick start or something? I tried to get it sorted early on but I was still befuddled by a lot of Nix stuff at the time so it became a "later" problem, but I'm tired of not having my bash_aliases.Other one, I use <a href="https://growers.social/tags/musnix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#musnix</a> to handle setting up RT kernel, as this laptop is where I currently run <a href="https://growers.social/tags/Pianoteq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pianoteq</a>, but you don't wanna be running RT all the time - I was doing it for a while and I noticed that my regular desktop apps would lock up periodically. And it's just hard on the CPU cause these apps are not tooled for realtime.Anyways, what I would like, is to have the top two items on the version list when you boot, be the most recent non-RT build at the top, and the most recent RT build second. Is this doable?If I could get both versions of the configuration.nix updated and compiled regardless of which I was currently running, that would be gravy, but I would be booting into RT and making sure everything works before any gigs or whatever. Can this be done?

SkipGoing to monitor a handful of sites with the goal to expand to 350 sites with <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/zabbix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zabbix</a> 7 LTS and I am going to use <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> as base OS1 Postgres server 1 Zabbix server 1 Zabbix proxyWhat speaks against it and why? And what are some best practices you would like to share

decafkafkHere is a post I was gonna make to the <a class="hashtag" href="https://catgirl.farm/tag/nixos" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> discourse, but I realize that I don’t actually care about speaking to people on that platform anymore. I mainly just wanna outline why I think nothing has changed, and what is preventing it from changing.Anyone in Nix governance please DNI <a href="https://discourse.nixos.org/t/we-should-urgently-ban-and-denounce-determinate-systems/61356?u=cafkafk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">As seen here</a>, it is quite clear that many agree that we should urgently ban and denounce Determinate Systems, and most of the private messages I’ve receiving also indicate that basically everyone wants this, even if they’re scared to say so out loud. So why isn’t this happening? What’s the point of having people in charge of governance that are scared to actually take the actions that both they and the community want?And what’s the actual point of having a moderation team that seems solely focused on minimizing criticisms of things that actually matter, while doing a type of moderation that seems to mostly stoke the flames of pointless debates? Isn’t the point of moderation to be able to have topical discussions like the one I linked? If their solution is to just shut it down, that’s like a doctor killing their patient to cure them of an ailment…I think it’s quite clear that to many people in power in this project, they prefer the status quo, why else would they keep it running the same way as always? I guess if we started holding some people accountable, we’d have to hold many others accountable as well. And so it’s simply not in their interests.Complaining here won’t amount to much — the inevitable fork may, if not full of the same cultural problems. It’s to me just a final proof that the steering committee fails to represent me and other people in the project, the moderators fail to create space for actually productive conversations, but rather destroys it at every turn, and that the project in general isn’t one of merit or transparency, but one of critical information being kept to DMs, full of long drawn out conspiracies and plans that never amount to anything, and even if they did… if the people that take over the project are conspirators, what’s the point? It’s gonna be the same problems with a new face. That’s what the Steering Committee currently is.I expected more of you all.

sntx<a href="https://lgbtqia.space/@m" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@m</a> I'm not big into doing work that others already did for me...However I have an old Surface Pro 4 lying around, for which I still compile the <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/linux_surface" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux_surface</a> Kernel.Only recently and due to politics I started compiling everything for myself. Well I'm using <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/nixos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nixos</a> and I update nixpkgs about once or twice a month - that's when I tell my <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a> to build all my hosts configurations. This allows me to ditch cache.nixos.org and instead rely on my own cache. Hosts now update waaay faster too.

leοnaLet’s have a great <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> 25.05 release cycle! <a href="https://discourse.nixos.org/t/lets-have-a-great-25-05-release-cycle/61813" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://discourse.nixos.org/t/lets-have-a-great-25-05-release-cycle/61813</a>

Atemu<a href="https://darmstadt.social/tags/TIL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TIL</a> <a href="https://darmstadt.social/tags/systemd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#systemd</a> can somehow restart itself in a running system and <a href="https://darmstadt.social/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> does it automatically whenever necessary.This must have happened dozens of times already and I never noticed because it's entirely seamless.I only found out because I was curious what exactly the <a href="https://darmstadt.social/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> activation script means when it says "restarting systemd" as that struck me as near impossible.I confirmed that /proc/1/exe points at the same store path that my new version of systemctl comes from; how cool is that?

Nolan DarilekLong shot but worth it. I think I may have found my blocker for using <a href="https://gts.thewordnerd.info/tags/nixos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> on my laptop/dev machines and am looking for help.In short, I have multiple <a href="https://gts.thewordnerd.info/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rust</a> projects that build on the CLI just fine but not in VS Code/Rust Analyzer. I didn't spot this until very recently when I realized problems in my own code weren't being highlighted but compiled crates worked just fine.Seems RA can't find some libraries but to the best of my abilities I've made those libraries available to the shell. I also launch <code>code .</code> from the terminal so it should have the environment set up correctly without need for Nix-specific extensions.It's been suggested I not use the code-fhs Nix package, but that means starting from scratch and fixing existing extensions which work.Please don't suggest abandoning VS Code or substantially changing my accessible workflows unless you also have 12 extra hours per day for me. Also please don't suggest abandoning Linux entirely--this issue is NixOS, not Linux.More context: <a href="https://discourse.nixos.org/t/rust-project-builds-from-the-command-line-but-not-in-vs-code/61709" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://discourse.nixos.org/t/rust-project-builds-from-the-command-line-but-not-in-vs-code/61709</a>

NixOS"This is how we should have done computer science forever."In a world where the internet is dominated by Big Data giants, NixOS is redefining how we think about infrastructure—making it more accessible, maintainable, and user-driven.
