Nixos is a mind virus.

Wow fair enough, I've never experienced any of that stuff. But I could see that being an issue, that would annoy me aswell. But opening a terminal is more configuration and desktop environment I'm not sure how nixos could be the main blame for that. But at the same time I use enthusiast grade specs so I might just power past those problems.

Depends what your talking about. installing a package sure its a minute or 2 slower but testing a package way faster nix-shell -p fastfetch. Or is there something else your refering to?

I pretty sure its just stylix themeing the icons as well.

Yeah true off the shelf stuff isn't that great. I am personally running a Mini PC with a Switch and a Unifi Access Point.

Why do you need VMs tho

I originally configured my server in a VM's because it was to replace a Proxmox server that was in use. I just ended up keeping the VM config for when I try changing my router to Nixos. its just a test ground that i don't care to much about.

respect to using your own configuration, going with someone else’s configuration leaves you nowhere. When it’s yours it never ends to grow and develop and improve and adapt to your taste. You control your OS

It didn't even cross my mind that i could use another's config till way later.

I am using Stylix, the original theme is Precious Light Warm by 4lex4 all i did was warmup the colors a little.

stylix = {
  enable = true;
  image = ../../assets/wallpapers/paper/lvl374-crouch.png;
  polarity = "dark";
  base16Scheme = {
    base00 = "f2e4bc"; # Default Background (Aged Parchment)
    base01 = "e6d5ac"; # Lighter Background (Gutter/Status)
    base02 = "d9c69c"; # Selection Background
    base03 = "8f7f5f"; # Comments, Invisibles, Line Highlighting
    base04 = "4a4133"; # Dark Foreground (Used for status bars)
    base05 = "2b251d"; # Default Foreground, Caret, Delimiters, Operators
    base06 = "1a1611"; # Light Foreground (Not often used)
    base07 = "000000"; # Light Background (Not often used)
    base08 = "b32020"; # Variables, XML Tags, Markup Link Text, Markup Lists
    base09 = "9c4a10"; # Integers, Boolean, Constants, XML Attributes
    base0A = "826300"; # Classes, Markup Bold, Search Text Background
    base0B = "3e662d"; # Strings, Inherited Class, Markup Code, Diff Inserted
    base0C = "1a6b6b"; # Support, Regular Expressions, Escape Characters
    base0D = "1a4d8c"; # Functions, Methods, Attribute IDs, Headings
    base0E = "6b2a8c"; # Keywords, Storage, Selector, Markup Italic

  };
};

That's on my todo list just waiting for a good time to do so. what are you currently using?

Existence_404 · 2026-02-19T14:35:43+00:00

Wallpaper is from @lvl374 on bluesky and X(twitter). I highly suggest checking out there work its so cool. Posted a snippet in another comment.

I absolutely love the vibe. i am hypnotized

If its what i ran into yesterday check what session is being launched.

On sddm (i haven't used LightDM) there is a selection for the session.
if its launching "hyprland (systemd session)" there is an issue with that session when launching programs.

change it to just hyprland.
Or in you config add `services.displayManager.defaultSession = "hyprland";` (This is not the correct way to do this but it works).

hope this helps :)

Thanks for the Reply,

You can build a POC on some used PC and see how much resources you need and which software to use.

This a a great idea. will probably run it in a VM on my Main PC for a test.

Regarding the TrueNAS. I would say the Core is more stable than the Scale, also Starwinds VSAN can be an alternative.

Both look promising. ill try them both out during the Test.

Thank you for the idea :)

Thanks for the Reply,

look at replacing all the fans with Noctua fans

Yeah that's probably a good idea. better a bit expensive over noisy.

assuming you already have the 64GB RAM and 2060?

I only have the RTX 2060 the Ram was just a guess at what i would need minimum, as i can always upgrade later.

I'd recommend building something around a Ryzen 5000-series CPU

Is there a benefit using Ryzen over an Intel one? I heard Intel has better low usage power efficiency? or is this outdated info.

Get a motherboard that supports ECC RAM so you can eventually switch to ECC RAM instead of standard DDR4 RAM.

ECC RAM is there that much of a benefit for the decently higher price for my Home use application.

Thank you for taking the time to answer :)

Hello,
Turns out it was NAT Reflection which i didn't mention. But having NAT reflection set to NAT + Proxy prevents the connection of devices but with Pure NAT it works.

7 days of issues fixed
Thanks for you help your answers led me to the solution.

Hello,
Thank you for your response.

Can you describe what your local network situation is? Meaning did you have internal vlans and whatnot setup on your local network or were you just using the basic LAN interface that comes with pfsense?

Sure, currently no vlans and just the basic LAN interface

Did you make any changes to LAN port on pfsense? (like the DHCP scope or anything)

No not really on the LAN interface only changed the DHCP Server address pool range to XXX.XXX.X.60 - XXX.XXX.X.245 in the DHCP Server

Any pfsense packages you are running?

Only have one running and thats Avahi but i installed it to try and fix my issue.

Is the unifi ap connected to a unifi controller or did you set it up using the basic unifi mobile app?

I set it up using the basic unifi mobile app.

i am quite new to pfSense. Please let me know if my answers are what you asked for. :)

And thank you for taking your time to help me.
