Michael Stapelberg 🐧🐹😺I recently refactored my emacs <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nix</a> expression such that I can pull it into my home-manager config, so now my <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Emacs</a> is managed just right on my Mac, too 👌This means I no longer need to care about Emacs’s built-in package manager in one more environment!<a href="https://github.com/stapelberg/nix/commit/db0225bf8ba745b9f07b0eb5def2828d611c0fe8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/stapelberg/nix/commit/db0225bf8ba745b9f07b0eb5def2828d611c0fe8</a> if you’re curious

The Last Psion | Alex<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/hivemind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hivemind</a> TL;DR: How would you deploy a maintainable Linux build to 14 PCs?I have a lab network of 14 PCs at $dayjob. I want them all to have the same Linux build/image, with the same apps - (probably) Plasma, VirtualBox, LibreOffice, Packet Tracer (so JRE as well) as the basics, plus various other tools.If the users mess up the machine somehow, they need to be easily re-imaged. It would be nice if <code>/home</code> could optionally be preserved, but not essential.I am currently the most Linux-savvy person in the team that will be looking after these PCs. I'm not there all the time, so this needs to be maintainable by techies who don't daily drive Arch.I know <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Ansible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ansible</a> could be a good option, meaning I have some flexibility with which distro. (I am open to different distros for this.) <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nix</a> or <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> could also work, but the learning curve for that could be pretty steep (for me - steeper for the rest of the team), plus its non-standard approach to Linux might be confusing for some.I guess some solution using a PXE boot and then an auto-deployed script or definition file?<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ITAdmins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ITAdmins</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ITAdministration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ITAdministration</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AskFedi</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/SysAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SysAdmin</a>

FreelockI made some major updates to <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal_flake" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal_flake</a> - now you can start it up "detached" from the text user interface (TUI) that used to force you to open other shells to use it. It's now faster and easier to do local Drupal development, with no containers!Also a slick <a href="https://drupal.community/tags/starship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#starship</a> prompt. <a href="https://drupal.community/tags/drupal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drupal</a> <a href="https://drupal.community/tags/nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nix</a> -- if there's anyone experienced with Drupal's Gitlab CI, I am having trouble getting tests working on the project -- created two tests that work locally but fail in CI

Michael Stapelberg 🐧🐹😺Notably, I have no background with either JavaScript or Rust. In other packaging environments, I wouldn’t even have tried to do anything with Electron apps.But <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nix</a> feels capable enough (and there are enough other Electron apps already packaged) that wrangling Electron seems feasible :)

Santi :rust:I wish <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nix</a> could be used to bundle apps... The information is there, but not in a way that can be used unfortunately. At least not yet. It would be great to be able to produce .deb and .AppImages from a nix package. `nix-bundle` is so close...

Michael Stapelberg 🐧🐹😺New blog post! 🥳Development shells with Nix: four quick examplesI wanted to use GoCV for one of my projects (to find and extract paper documents from within a larger scan), without permanently having OpenCV on my system.This seemed like a good example use-case to demonstrate a couple of Nix commands I like to use, covering quick interactive one-off dev shells to fully declarative, hermetic, reproducible, shareable dev shells.→ Read more: <a href="https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2025-07-27-dev-shells-with-nix-4-quick-examples/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2025-07-27-dev-shells-with-nix-4-quick-examples/</a><a href="https://mas.to/tags/Nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nix</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixOS</a>
