The OS becomes too bloated, and you need to reinstall? Listen, listen, what if we do reinstall on every package install, then no bloat can survive - #NixOS

@alberand what if we also do it everyone I want to change my background? 🤔

When you start your VM build and walk away for lunch...

and come back to 30 packages left ... of 1350, including the kernel, qemu,...

@musicmatze did that once, came back to an internal compiler segfault. That was a fun day. 😅

We need more metal logos in IT! 🤘

Nice, lib.packagesFromDirectoryRecursive now supports nested scopes!

packagesFromDirectoryRecursive transforms a directory tree of packages into a nested attribute set of derivations. You can use it to manage a package set in a similar way to by-name in nixpkgs (without the sharding part). The package files in tree must be suitable for callPackage.

Subdirectories in the tree result in nested attribute sets. In the following example, packages d, e and f will be in a nested attribute set called my-namespace.

my-packages
├── a.nix
├── b.nix
├── c
│  ├── my-extra-feature.patch
│  ├── package.nix
│  └── support-definitions.nix
└── my-namespace
   ├── d.nix
   ├── e.nix
   └── f
      └── package.nix

Previously, this would only use one scope (my-packages), so e could only depend on d as my-packages.d. With the introduction of nested scopes, e can refer to d within the same scope directly.

@codemonkeymike it’ll be on Saturday from 17:00-18:00. https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/22x/presentations/using-nix-build-pretty-small-images

I’ll be speaking at Cloud Native Days LA in #SCaLE22x about leveraging #nix / #nixos to build pretty small container images. I’ll make an attempt at showing you the benefits of using something like Nix to do this, and daydream about possible future integrations. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Alright fedi, just got back from the Nix Store, ended up buying /etc/nixos#nixosConfigurations.Infini-FRAMEWORK.config.system.build.toplevel

@schmittlauch there’s more where that came from! I recently found this one. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/6a3ae7a5a12fb8cac2d59d7df7cbd95f9b2f0566/lib/strings.nix#L2406-L2436

First time I managed to configure a WPA2 Enterprise network (Eduroam) for IWD 😂 Added my learning to the #NixOS wiki https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Iwd#Eduroam_(WPA2_Enterprise)_network

Hi everyone, I am now looking for full-time work! If you have a remote Software Engineer position available and work with #Frontend web tech (#HTML / #CSS / #JS / #TS / #React, etc), #NodeJS (or #Bun / #Deno ), #Kubernetes, or #Nix / #NixOS then please reach out! I love building tools to solve problems and delight users.

For examples of my previous work, links to my projects, and my resume, please see my website: https://jakehamilton.dev

Boosts very much appreciated!

After a great hack day, with the last NixCon attendees still hanging out in @cbase and across Berlin, NixCon 2024 is now really coming to an end. It was wonderful to see so many new and familiar faces.

#NixOS #NixCon

@johanv so, eating all the food and not gaining any of the weight or developing cholesterol? Sign me up!

The Nix/NixOS devroom at @fosdem was accepted, and the CfP is open! I'm really amazed to be part of the organization team this year.
Talks can be submitted until 2024-11-30.

NixCon 2024 is here! #NixOS #NixCon

… next try to configure #NixOS an the #Clockworkpi #uConsole - I am confident. How do I connect to the WLAN again (with iw and wireless tools)? 😅

I've gone live!

Coworking time. Watch me do some work
