I wanted to give #nixos a try as the main system for my new #nas but the installer iso won't boot past grub. I am this short to giving up and just installing #debian (which boots fine).

My hobby server migration to #NixOS is now at roughly:

[ ██████████████▒▒▒▒▒▒ ] 70%

Two more Debian systems to migrate, and two more Flatcar Linux systems.

Today’s server migration went flawless! Running a few Go services and a Django web app on this VM, migrated with a few stop+rsync+start commands within a few minutes of downtime :)

Considering upgrading my #camera game for a new job. Have $800 to spend (not necessarily looking to spend it all). Will be using with #Linux (#NixOS). Or can still be a #webcam, but wanting to go higher end. Would like the depth of field look. Also have direct light behind me (windows). Suggestions?

I am really looking forward to a completely #GNU free #nixos setup.

One day...!

Steam successfully installed on #NixOS. It was obnoxiously easy as it should be. Different, of course, but still very easy.

My first major failure with #NixOS has been connecting to a VPN. I cannot for the life of me get it to work.

Don't get too excited, but I posted a blog post today, all about my adventures with solving issues of a technical kind with the Nix language;

https://s0ands0.github.io/nix/firejail-wrap-binaries-automatically/

... is my first time getting serious with Nix, so please be a little gentle ;-)

I'm once again asking if anyone here knows how best to make a custom #nixos installer, that customizes the #calamaresinstaller to remove some options, and run a script post install that will patch something into the config.

I have a repo where I can build the gnome installer, but can't figure out how to customize it. I've chatgptd and googled.

Any good resources on this?

Вельмишановне панство,
Хотів запитати, чи використовуєте ви #nixos ?
Для чого ви його використовуєте?
- для десктопа
- для серверів
- для контейнерів
- для чогось ще?

Чи варто витрачати час для переходу на нього?

Interesting post from tazjin, an experienced #nixos contributor, about trying #guix https://tazj.in/blog/trying-guix#fnref1 it didn’t particularly make me want to try guix, but it was an informative and fun read.

Spotted this building in #copenhagen . It's the biggest @nixos_org advertisement I've ever seen ^^

Hey y'all !

New week, so I decided to get productive and re-do my "DarkXero-Bytes" blog, switching from #MKDocs to #Hugo.

While doing that I decided to post about my #NixOS journey for the past week. Have fun reading...

nixfmt v1.0.0 released!

This is the first stable release of the official Nix formatter. It implements RFC 166, which defines a standard for Nix formatting.

Great work by the Nix Formatting Team, thanks to everyone involved!

#CopterPortrait Meet Flik¹, the #multicopter we developed our first #PARASITE payload for. It's a commercial dji Mavic 3E drone typically used for photography. Here, Flik is measuring for the #TeamX campaign in #Austria, which will eventually improve #mountainWeather forecasts.

Our PARASITE system (running #NixOS) has several ventilated meteorological sensors on board for temperature and relative humidity.

From all the data we get from copter and sensors we derive a fast 3D wind measurement. So yes: We can now measure #turbulence with a copter, without the need for an actual anemometer: The copter is our anemometer!

Comparisons in #Falkenberg with a @DeutscherWetterdienst tower shows that the data quality is comparable to ultrasonic anemometers - the current gold standard of operational turbulence measurements.

`scx_bpfland` works really well as scheduler, I can compile Zed which mostly maxes out my CPU and still browse the web comfortably in Firefox.
