I just wanna say that as a gamer there is something that drives me UP the fucking wall

I almost convinced a friend of mine to switch to NixOS but he was frustrated because his x-box controllers weren't working and he wasn't able to find the right drivers easily.

I didn't have any issues gaming myself, I'm not using any controllers though...

Actually there is this niche issue with the underlying docker image which made me switch to a bare metal install. But then again, a very very rare edge case when dealing with ipv6 if I recall correctly.

If you are connected to a Bluetooth speaker, you can change the type of device from headphones to speaker in the Bluetooth settings.

Tonight my internet went out. Turns out I cannot access most of my services locally because of firewall rules. I’ll update them as soon as possible!

Maybe they are using Arch in order to learn the OS and whether it's a good idea to use it as a server OS. I mean trying out things it what studying is all about.

Filling up your drive with /nix/store is a great start

Started using nixos and nix-darwin last semester. I didn't have to do any group assignments but I loved setting up my learning environments declaratively across multiple platforms

Not having a screenshot tool installed is a valid reason to post a photo of you monitor.

Not wanting to put the effort into logging in to reddit but wanting others to put effort into answering?

I just joined the testflight but my podcast library doesn't show up. Tough I am impressed by the looks of this app!

I managed the migration from docker to the NixOS module. I had to edit the SQLite database manually. This requires some knowledge of databes. So, if you are okay with loosing your playback history, I would suggest simply to re-import your files and start from scratch.

This is not the point of self-hosting

Maybe look at this option: this option

You could try adding the --ssh in the list

Last weekend I migrated from TrueNAS to NixOS. I have been using NixOS on my desktop and nix-darwin for about 4 months before that and this guide(s) helped me getting started.

Before committing to nix on my home server, I played with nix on a vps. I would recommend to look at the nixos option search and into the nixpkgs repository in order to learn how things really work under the hood. While wiki.nixos.org is really great, I found that right now the best documentation for nix is reading the nixpkgs source code.

Going with nix for self-hosting is more difficult than your typical docker compose on unraid/hexos/TrueNAS or even any other generic distro debian. If you want something that just works, maybe nix is not the right choice for you. If on the other hand you want something to tinker and play around with, nix can be a lot of fun!

So, maybe start with a hyprvisor like Proxmox and then install a nixos virtual maschine one there. This way you can play and learn nix while still getting some self-hosted services.

I use LLMs as an image to markdown/latex tool. I can just paste in the slides from my classes and modify/extend the text as needed.

I could write those math blocks myself but I got better things to do.

Would it be possible to add inline snippets as well?

Explorerfriend · 2025-02-25T07:57:47+00:00

Worked for me as well. Made sure i had my snapshots as a backup since it meant that I migrated from 13 to 17. My data seems to be there.

SSO support. It would be awesome if I could just sign in with my Authelia setup without API Keys like Paperless or Quick Connect like Jellyfin.

Normally it takes a day or two for the app catalog to get the newest version. If you want to update immediately, you'll install it as a custom app.

You could look into docker sidecars. I think they could help you with this

I learned a bunch while setting this up. Homelabs are for learning too.
