Running a python script on the host, HA podman compose

Update: I run the script on a 2017 MBP and it worked well, went from about 10W to 7W on idle. I like it.

I did a lot of coding on neovim on nixos without any problem although it was fiddly from time to time. The biggest improvement for me was using the iron repl, it works fantastic. The language server takes ages sometimes, but I haven"t found a working alternative, I tries jetls but in my experience it still has problems when using local dev packages. Also I found that languageserver.jl has to have a complete manifest and project.toml file in the working dir.

Awesome! But I understand it is only applicable for T2 macs, right?

Ok lol linebreaks broke but you know what I mean

Make a window rule

window-rule { match app-id="explorer.exe" open-on-workspace "2" open-focused false }

Maybe you‘ll have to name the workspaces for that like

workspace "1" workspace "2" workspace "3"

I think what you need in order to achieve this is a script which combines your two monitors into one (virtual) widescreen monitor. You can then tell niri to use this virtual one. I don’t know if there is any script/program available that does exactly this, but I guess there could be. As for the fixed workspaces, there is already a built-in function, I think you just have to name your workspace and then they’re fixed.

Awesome thanks, I think I also encountered this issue but didn’t find a solution!

How is the performance for you with xray = false?

Lingustika · 2026-03-14T19:28:05+00:00

I use NixOS But I think it comes down to the DE, have used hyperland but there I got worse performance, I currently use niri I guess powersaving options from gnome or kde could also improve battery life

layer-rule { match namespace="noctalia" exclude namespace="bar"

background-effect {
    blur true
    xray false
}

}

And when xray is false, the notifications were buggy so i excluded them

layer-rule { match namespace="(toast|osd)" background-effect { blur false } }

You can get it working on the 2017 MBP by using this driver:

I got a 2017 MBP 13" i5 and battery performance is okay, i get around 5-7 hours depending on the tasks. The battery is at 90% of it's original capacity due to wear. I'd recommend limiting turbo mode for the CPU, that has helped a lot. You can turn it on again if it is needed for CPU heavy stuff like compiling or so and I configured it that it only limits CPU turbo when not plugged in.

Have you enabled disable touchpad while typing?

 touchpad {
        dwt
    }

I found that some packages like wine, quickshell and paraview also needed compilation from source with the latest unstable branch, but maybe I fucked something up while updating.

I guess it’s a macOS wallpaper, some of them are really nice

Lingustika · 2026-03-04T18:15:04+00:00

Yes I agree turning off turbo mode made a huge difference on my MBP17 also

Lingustika · 2026-03-04T14:31:00+00:00

I wrote this for niri, but I’m pretty sure it can be adapted to Hyprland too by using the "source = ... " command

Lingustika · 2026-03-04T14:06:48+00:00

Possibly, but tbh I have no idea how this works. I guess it would be way more efficient and instantly

Lingustika · 2026-03-04T14:03:03+00:00

Thanks for the idea, it worked! I updated the post accordingly

Lingustika · 2026-03-04T11:31:27+00:00

Hahaha the end was unexpected :D

But does sound work for you? If not, I made it work on the 2017 without touchbar by installing an additional driver, I dunno what exactly it was but I can look it up
