People say, ‘I don’t think a language like Nix should have macros’, proving they don’t know what a macro system actually means. They think it means the C preprocessor.

But I just realized that Nix’s ‘inherit’ should be a macro. There is absolutely no reason it should be part of the core language. This inhibits syntactic processing of the language.

The ‘inherit’ statement can immediately be expanded to attribute bindings. In Pipchix I will do so and so free up much Nix code generation.

#NixOS

Soo, how much memory is running "nix-index" for the first time supposed to take?

1st time I tried running it on this (compared to my main PC) underpowered one got oom killed.

Now on the 2nd attempt we're at 7.12G/7.62G memory + 9.75G/12.6G Swap.

And it has been running for 6.5h now and still hasn't even output anything more than "+ querying available packages" to the screen.

#nix #NixOS

I've been playing games on a #linux #nixos gaming pc for a while now and there is no way I can see myself ever going back to console. Sure there is a little more tinkering involved, but there is so much freedom.

Here is a screenshot of #TheLegendOfZelda Twilight Princess. It's running at 4k and at 60fps using frame generation. There is just no way to do this other than with a PC.

I need to go into my #NixOS configuration and move all my secrets from living on my filesystem into living in my #sops lol

Yo what ?

Trying to watch something on the new laptop when all of a sudden, realisation
I forgot to install pipewire when switching over to NixOS…

Alright, let’s see how it’s done
*paste pipewire entry*
*rebuild & reboot*

That’s it ?! Yeah… That’s it…

Now let’s see how it’ll end up when I finally move over the workstation, Hyprland and Nvidia is gonna be interesting, even tho I heard it does work given the right configuration

Is anyone else using #gnome under #nixos on 25.11 and having gnome shell crashes?

After crash, this is my logs

#linux

I added automatic dark/light theme switching to #sway, #neovim and my terminal on #nixos.

I love my workflow for my hugo sites. I edit what I need to and then have a script that merges to my git repo, then builds the hugo stuff and finally uploads it to my S3 backend. I don't need to track any of the dependencies because the nix-shell handles it all at time of running the deploy script. damn nix is amazing
#nixos

Should I set up my next server with #NixOS?

@embedding_shapes Yeah 😅 That is quite common in the :nixos: #nix #NixOS realm, but is also often warranted. In this case, my approach really is a bit backwards and I'll switch it around.

Grr, something is not clicking with #sops-nix for me. It seems like there's so many steps to just refer to a secret. #NixOS

Is there a #Nixos function somewhere, to verify the GPG signature of a downloaded file/archive (besides verifying the NAR hash)?

Updated the #bcachefs instructions on the #nixos wiki on how to create a bcachefs-enabled installation media and how to do a encrypted rootfs install 🔒 https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Bcachefs#Generate_bcachefs_enabled_installation_media

RE: https://alovely.space/@peritia/115683615933103222

I can't believe "I already updated it, but thanks" won over "DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO", I thought #NixOS was a #Linux community!

Thoughts on keeping parts (assets *and* #nix code) of your public :nixos: #NixOS config private?
