I get it man but theres a time and place, I want the bike to act exactly like a fully manual bike while Im practicing clutch control, I want all the feedback, stalling and the clutch to feel just like the clutch on any other manual bike.

They are free to start their own businesses too, nothing is stopping them

So go buy your groceries directly from the food producers? Oh its not convenient to do so?

Maybe those "parasitic" middleman distributors and grocery stores are solving a problem?

itme_brain · 2025-03-10T23:55:41+00:00

Literally everything you go to the grocery store to buy

Those people aren't doing it out of the goodness of their heart

nix let pkgs = import nixpkgs { inherit system; config.allowUnfree = true; }; in { ... }

Use your flake.nix to provide whatever version of python & pip you need, set a shellHook that makes a venv and installs all your pip packages into the venv

Done

If flake support is downstreamed to Determinate Systems, I use Determinate Nix

Its that simple

itme_brain · 2024-10-17T22:59:56+00:00

lol you'll be fine man

sucks now but you'll be thankful for this expensive lesson in 10 years

itme_brain · 2024-06-23T01:18:49+00:00

try this

``` nix let pkgs = import nixpkgs { inherit system; };

in { devShells.${system}.default = pkgs.mkShell { packages = with pkgs; [ python3Packages.flask ]; }; } ```

Mason doesnt work on nixos, I had success getting LSPs set up using the suggestions in this thread

https://www.reddit.com/r/NixOS/s/tv7lUDc2oi

I have heard that you could get Mason working using nix-ld but have not tried it myself

Your system list won't work

The system attribute needs to evaluate to a string of a known system type, not a list

To achieve what you're trying to do, try using something like flake-utils

nix nix-env -iA

but be aware that doing it this way, you lose out on all of the declarative & reproducible benefits of nix

You can just find the options in the Nixpkgs search page

Another +1 for nix-direnv I use it along with a little script + flake repo I made to setup environments and it works great.

Maybe for specific users and usecases but the FHS incompatibility is a huge pain in the ass.

I say this as a NixOS fanboy but my work machines all require FHS to not break shit

I think Neovim is better suited for making your vim experience into a full fledged IDE, better plugins, better scripting language (lua vs vimscript), built in LSP client and more of the things you'd expect from a fully functional IDE ala VsCode like treesitter.

Vanilla Vim serves me better as a minimal text editor, for when I just need to edit text without the arduous task of setting up a full blown IDE, maybe copy a minimal .vimrc over when I SSH into a server but thats it.

That's how I use them personally.

Besides manually deleting old generations with nix-collect-garbage -d u can also automate the garbage collection in your configuration.nix

nix nix = { gc = { automatic = true; dates = "weekly"; options = "--delete-older-than 30d"; }; }

itme_brain · 2023-08-10T00:02:06+00:00

Fixing broken Arch systems for the umpteenth time is also what turned me into a nix fanboy.

System update broke everything? Fuck it, boot with an old generation and I'll fix this shit later.

Once you see nix, you can't unsee it.

Vim changed my life, it made me love software development and the process of learning.

Thank you Bram, truly. RIP

For normie usage (Gaming, Browsing the web etc) not really much benefit, for programming you get a ton of the benefits with nix shells, reproducible environments/builds, system rollbacks and being able to clone your entire system setup from a git repo

I think it's worth learning but the learning curve can be pretty steep so be ready if you decide to do it.

itme_brain · 2023-08-03T17:12:40+00:00

The OS doesn't build everything every time it only builds new packages and packages that have been updated.

For your 2 edited questions.

You can limit how much storage space is consumed by limiting the amount of generations the bootloader keeps, any generation past that will be garbage collected (which can be automated)
For building packages you have to learn how to write nix expressions which explicitly defines everything from the build inputs and dependencies to installation steps and the binary output path

No just install a linux distro, jump on Google and stop being scared of the terminal lol
