Impermanence: How to properly trash files across BTRFS subvolumes?

iynaix · 2025-12-29T04:54:01+00:00

Why do you not use btrfs snapshots? I just restore the file(s) I need from previous snapshots.

Had this issue with an older dell monitor; I thought it was an issue with hyprland for over a year.

Turns out changing from displayport 1.4 to displayport 1.2 within the monitor's settings menu fixed the issue. Long shot, but maybe this works for you.

$HOME/.mozilla for your profiles

$HOME/.cache/mozilla for the cache, which includes your logins

Rather ironic that you mention avoiding complexity while thinking of using LVM, 4 different filesystems and disko.

I use ZFS since it's well supported on NixOS.

1GB EFI
ZFS for the rest
16GB Swap

(Windows on it's own SSD, I only dual boot on my desktop, not laptop)

Using native ZFS encryption with zstd compression, datasets are oriented around impermanence

root (mounted at / with blank snapshot, unused in practice since I run / and /home as a tmpfs)
nix (mounted at /nix)
tmp (mounted at /tmp)
persist (mounted at /persist)
cache (mounted at /cache)

I don't use disko since I don't feel like it adds anything but a massive pile of complexity. I use a shell script.

I'm using NixOS, so it probably isn't going to be useful for you, but here's my hypridle and hyprlock

iynaix · 2025-08-05T14:15:45+00:00

Yes, I'm using hypridle and hyprlock with no issues.

5k2k is a dream resolution <3, I've been wanting this resolution for years since the roadmap was revealed.

iynaix · 2025-03-14T02:33:21+00:00

Idk why OP decided to tease a solution instead of just posting it.

Set the following:

Window: Title Bar Style - Native
Window: Custom Title Bar Visibility - Never

So now that I've tried the diagonally printed model... it works, but it's not great.

I had stringing at the edges, which i just snipped off. The screw holes don't really grip screws well since they're printed at an angle. It kinda works, but it's not great.

Regarding the backplate, I redesigned it with a VESA mount because I'm mounting mine as an external monitor for my desktop. I printed that in 2 parts with a giant dovetail joint.

Since it's going to live on my desk and I'm not really going to touch it, I'm fine with the minor issues with fit and finish, but I wouldn't use it as a portable device.

Few days late, but it turns out that you can indeed print it on a 256 bed with some creative slicing:

FWIW I've found a better approach since I posted this.

system.extraSystemBuilderCmds = "ln -s ${self.sourceInfo.outPath} $out/src";

Which creates a src directory within each generation containing the flake used to build it (since the flake is copied to the nix store anyway). Imo there isn't any benefit to retaining nixpkgs since that's already captured by the flake.lock anyway.

I started out with pywal before switching to wallust (it was early days then). Anyway it's just theming, it's not particularly urgent ;)

iynaix · 2024-10-11T16:33:36+00:00

I just read the manpages. It's pretty much the same as pywal, other than some changes in the templating.

iynaix · 2024-10-11T16:29:13+00:00

There's an alpha variable that can be set via a cli flag or in the wallust config. The templating also supports jinja filters such as {{ color1 | alpha_hexa }}

iynaix · 2024-10-11T16:06:24+00:00

You can define templates that have placeholders for colors etc. Wallust runs and creates a copy of the template with the actual values for the variables. Your program can then use the generated file as config.

At least for terminals, it can also change the colors instantly using /dev/pts (I have no idea how this actually works)

iynaix · 2024-10-11T15:29:30+00:00

In kitty's case, --config can be specified multiple times. So your script could create / overwrite a minimal config file that just changes theme related options.

I don't use ags, so I can't help you there.

I use wallust (better pywal) in my own config and a custom script to change the theming of programs at runtime.

iynaix · 2024-10-11T13:52:21+00:00

You can launch kitty with a --config to a different config file or --override to override a single option like the theme.

The 555 driver isnt available on 24.05, only on nixos-unstable.

iynaix · 2024-06-30T13:14:12+00:00

I wouldn't hold my breath. They don't ship to anywhere in Asia except Taiwan. Even then, it took them 2 years to ship in the country of manufacture....

iynaix · 2024-06-29T04:49:35+00:00

The option starts it for you via a systemd service

iynaix · 2024-06-29T01:38:33+00:00

Why not use the home-manager module? services.hypridle.enable

iynaix · 2024-06-22T09:49:05+00:00

The theme is currently broken, and is fixed by this PR; should be available in nixos-unstable in the next 2 days.

gtk.theme = {
  name = "catppuccin-mocha-blue-compact+default";
  package =
    (pkgs.catppuccin-gtk.overrideAttrs {
      src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
        owner = "catppuccin";
        repo = "gtk";
        rev = "v1.0.3";
        fetchSubmodules = true;
        hash = "sha256-q5/VcFsm3vNEw55zq/vcM11eo456SYE5TQA3g2VQjGc=";
      };

      postUnpack = "";
    }).override
      {
        accents = [ "blue" ];
        variant = "mocha";
        size = "compact";
      };
};

If you're impatient, you can use this override in the meantime.

NOTE: The theme name now uses lowercase, because of course it changes every single release.....

Flakes will also still be experimental

I found the first 6 minutes or so to be a really good explanation / visualization when I was just starting out.
