#nixos

Wow. Setting up #eduroam in #NixOS just with Network Manager was the most complicated but still immediately succesful admin thing I did in the past weeks. Sign in to easyroam, download p12 file, extract stuff from it with some adapted bash script, and it just works!

I'm a long-time linux desktop user. I've been eyeing #nixos for well over a year. Not sure about the very different software update process or installing a new program.

Heard about #nixbook, found that it's user friendly way to get around those update issues. Tried it out today. It works great on an old laptop that that was gathering dust. I don't need it to connect to a printer.

I'll use it for word processing, simple spreadsheets, but mostly for markdown text (ghostwriter).

Another call out for help in the #Linux and #nixos community!

We REALLY want to get the #nixbook installer to be able to install #flatpak during (or right after) the calamares installation.

Currently its installing on first boot of nixbook, but it's janky, and causing some downstream issues.

I FEEL LIKE this should be fixable.

Again, the issue is that we want to install a handful of flatpaks after the nixos build, but it gets cranky with no DBUS.

Hi! A method to install flatpaks during the installation process still has to be found. Chrooting into the system from the ISO seems to me like the best approach. However, doing so does not initial...

Ok, I apparently don't understand the fresh-install process for #NixOS. I thought having flakes and home-manager defined in my flake.nix was enough for it to all switch over.

I've learned this because I just installed it on my main tower 😬

This will get you ftp.gnu.org for now:
"/mount/ftp.gnu.org" = {
device = "${pkgs.curlftpfs}/bin/curlftpfs#ftp.gnu.org";
fsType = "fuse";
options = [
"_netdev"
"ro"
"uid=0"
"gid=0"
"auto"
"allow_other"
"umask=333"
];
};

If they turn off the ftp server, you might need to use httpfs2 and set up a stunnel? I don’t know.

Yay... we have a fix for #nixbook for those stupid #broadcom "insecure" drivers.

If you're on #nixos and having issues rebuilding / updating because of this, here is the fix that should blanket fix all broadcom insecure issues.

Just add this to your config.

This is also now live on Nixbook.. so the installer and main branch should work fine!

A new module is available: 'programs.satty' Satty is a screenshot annotation tool, inspired by Swappy and Flameshot. It can easily integrate with your wlroots based screenshot tool and comes with a simple and functional UI for post-processing your screenshots.

This is a motto I've lived by for at least the past ~5 years. I'm sure there's some data that they know about me that I can't do anything about, but I can sure as hell make it as hard as possible for them to gain any more data.

People forget that basically all tech companies incurred enormous, outrageous even, deficits not in the thousands but in the millions of dollars. Advertising, and data brokerage, is how they pay that off.

I abuse #nixos unique capabilities and load a fresh root filesystem on each boot, as / is mounted as a tmpfs. Only /boot, /home and /nix need to remain persistent

@adingbatponder I’ll go out on a limb here and say that in principle, yes, you could construct a #NixOS system that runs entirely in RAM with no persistence, but it’s not the way the system is designed. #Tails’ “RAM-only by default” is a core #design philosophy; NixOS’ philosophy is “reproducible stateful system management.”
