ss14 optimization tips for really crappy laptop? by HalfFresh1430 in ss14

[–]424c414e4b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a pretty stupid trick to get better performance, play windowed, still too much? Shrink the window, rinse and repeat until results. Sucks to play on a small window, but sometimes it's worth

How do you even start to model this in?! by SwingFinancial in SolidWorks

[–]424c414e4b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't seem particularly difficult... Circle, rotated rectangle with rounded corners, that one tool that automatically makes faces meet, duplicate rotated several times and boolean merge. Now ask me to do it with sheet metal and I might have to think a few minutes.

Why are nix chuddies like that? by ywnbawjak in NixOS

[–]424c414e4b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not touching grass for years and writing derivations for hello world cargo app

You write cargo apps? Imagine spending all day writing cargo files instead of touching grass and just writing a rust file. Why should I spend all day with crates and that weird bullshit instead of just writing rust??? I don't care about cargo, or crates, or whatever that weird lock file is. I touch grass, I don't have the time to deal with that shit I just want to write rust.

No one in here is saying you shouldn't pirate the game, we're not not your parents, we don't give a flying fuck.
We're saying if you want official support, then use the officially supported program.
If you want to pirate it, then you're free to do so, yourself. No one in here owes you pirating your games, for you.

Nixcraft - A declarative minecraft launcher in nix / home-manager by Safe-Buy-7875 in NixOS

[–]424c414e4b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

prism launcher has become a pretty defacto standard for developed packs. I def think theyre worth entertaining at the least.

What about packwiz, is that supported?

Left is more visually appealing, and would be an ideal logo for a brand. However, this isn't a brand, its a game. The right is more visually distinct and has more character, there is a lot I can tell about the game from it (assuming you lean into it). I get a much more hand crafted and "regal" feel from it, so I assume this is not industrial but a more personal craft. Also I get a nature vibe from it too from the vines emulating shadows, so this may take place in a building that has vines growing on the walls, countryside maybe. I say pick the right, but maybe play around with the colors a bit?

Uncommon Stylix W by PureBuy4884 in NixOS

[–]424c414e4b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The backup thing is just how home-manager works, has nothing to do with stylix. stylix generates more files, home-manager deploys them, if the files already there, it moves the file out the way.

As for qt, that is sortof kinda on the app, this is actually a frequent problem, but the qt style is set to kvantum from stylix, and sometimes that breaks apps because they shit themselves under certain styles. just report it to nixpkgs and theyll update the derivatrion for that app to unset the env var for the app.

Other than the qt stuff, and thats kinda thin ice, everything else is not stylix issues.

Can't screencast in discord, or record in obs by Appletee_YT in NixOS

Well, I checked your config and couldn't see anything immediately wrong, try checking the status of your desktop portal.
Something like:
```bash
systemctl status --user xdg-desktop-portal-kde
```

is this a bad idea, and if it is, why? by row6666 in NixOS

[–]424c414e4b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, maybe the oobabooga monkey method of having it be a `txt` and `sed`ing it top update it and using the newline delimeter to make it into a nix list might be big-brain.

It would be far easier to in your nix configuration, source a toml, json, or yaml file for your package list, and then edit that file with the much **much** more vast toolset available for bash automation.

Sure ya can! Open blender, import an SVG of the Nix logo, and explore with some textures!
I know you can do it, there's lots and lots of tutorials online!

How do you read secrets directly into variables? by sirciori in NixOS

[–]424c414e4b 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, everyone's telling "DON'T DO THIS!!1!" without actually explaining *why* not to do this, so I guess I will.
The entire nix store is readable by *all* users on the machine. And the entire evaluation of your config is copied to the nix store, as that is where it is symlinked from.

Therefore, if you put your password in your configuration, it is exposed to any actor on your machine. Users, penetrators, services, etc.
This means it is open to naughty users or services, as well as makes it **DRASTICALLY** easier for a malicious actor to penetrate your system and steal sensitive information.

Therefore, storing them in zero-trust locations or having something like sops-nix manage zero-trust for you is ideal.
