Interesting move in #nixpkgs repo from #nixos . The template to request new packages has been removed, and it seems to be a sentiment to not encourage people to submit requests (use discourse instead).
I have opposite reactions, on one hand, I thought reporting missing packages helped everyone, like missing development libraries, on the other hand, I understand that such a massive repository can be a huge burden to maintain🫠

See discussion:
github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/

As discussed in the Nixpkgs Contributions Matrix room, several contributors have reached a consensus that such a template only encourages future orphaned packages, and needlessly adds work for actu...

Calling all #NixOS enthusiasts in #Bielefeld and the #OWL region!

I'm looking to connect with like-minded folks to share knowledge, experiences, and maybe even start a recurring meetup around this lovely Linux distribution.

If you're already organizing a NixOS group or event, I'd love to hear how you got started—your insights would be super helpful!

OK after testing on a test Mastodon instance I think I am going to probably(90% chance) move to NixOS for my instance(esper.lol).

I do like the setup, centralized file, I can declare all the settings I want in one place and, I can easily move to a new server with this config FAST if need be.

Using social.spiritsandsuch.lol to test my setup, seems great so far. Automated backups, s3 storage, Declared Sidekiq processes, web, streaming, etc.

If I do move it will be on 4.4

Hey my #NixOS #Linux peeps. I have finally got a Flake based config that I can push from my central "build" VM to my test laptop. All is well, and things work. But I still dont know what the official method is for enabling non free stuff on Flakes. I want steam and a couple other things like that. Theres a bunch of conflicting stuff about it on the web. One thing that doesn't work is using nixpkg-nonfree because it doesn't track the latest stable release.

#rustLang: fuck dtolnay, fuck palantir, fuck hellsing and the rust foundation.
#nixos: oust the fascists; no more anduril, no more what's-his-face hidden nazi boy John

Doesn't matter how deeply they've embedded themselves: we have to get rid of these people. They cannot continue to have important positions. We cannot silently abide their presence.

I want your criticism. 👀

If there is one thing, Linux users have is an opinion. I have been working on a NixOS configuration that is meant to be new user-friendly, without being overwhelming, and if possible ADHD-friendly too. Ideally, I think it is screen reader friendly as well. The goal was to be inclusive.

On that note, I wanted a configuration that would work for "most" people. Meaning, I use this, and I'm done.

Like how about this:

A Nix flake is a file named flake.nix in the top level of a directory which contains a single attribute set with three keys "description" "inputs" and "outputs".

the "inputs" is a .... (what? what is it?)

the outputs is a function definition taking an attribute set that has the following attributes...

#nix #nixos

now... go... fill in the missing bits. What is in "inputs" and what does "outputs" take as input and return?

Help #Linux peeps.. What are some clean #gtk easy to use software centers that are available in #nixos and integrate with #flatpak .

I'm currently using gnome-software in my nixbook project (that runs cinnamon desktop) and it's pissing me off with system level notifications I can't seem to silence.

I'd love to find another option

Been screwing around with Nixos today and holy crap, this is the fastest I have ever setup a Mastodon instance.

Added everything in as described on the wiki and BOOM! The instance came up and I could create an account.

I still know NOTHING about Nixos other than some YouTube knowledge but I kinda feel like this can replace Ubuntu for my servers that I run.

Also... I DIDN'T KNOW CHANING THE FAVICON WAS BUILT INTO MASTODON NOW. I have just updated the esper.lol one.
