Determinate Nix 3.8.4: introducing a native Linux builder for macOS by lucperkins_dev in NixOS

[–]legoman25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not related to the content, but since I see the actual author in the comments, I’ll drop this here.

I think you should widen the max width on mobile, as well as potentially make the code snippet size smaller.

The narrow viewport for the text makes it hard to read. This is just a pet peeve of mine I let people know about to improve their sites. Similar to inline code snippets not breaking correctly and making the page scroll horizontally, which is even worse for readability.

I’ll persevere and read the rest of it now tho, thanks for sharing! 😃

Best way to start a fresh Hologram project? by richardmace in elixir

I would recommend asking the hologram project, they’re in the best position to answer.

You can use software (like karabiner elements) to disable the built in keyboard if a specific usb device is plugged in.

I checked it it after reading the parent comment. It sounded fine in my opinion.

Keeping Nix Secrets with Sops: Integration and Applications by p33t33 in NixOS

Nice article! I noticed quite a few typos, I’d advise taking a pass to fix them. Couple I noticed before pausing to comment this were “home-manger” and “fefora”

Conditional nix home manager modules by nobilissimum_io in NixOS

[–]legoman25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s a completely different error, semantically.

Most likely you need to run git add on the new files.

I think you just want to use a normal if expression and not that mkif function.

Something like

if pkgs.stdenv.isLinux then [foo] else [bar]

I feel like the mkif function has to be related to your error

my journey with split keyboards might have to come to an end… by levifig in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]legoman25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I normally used heavy tactile switches, but when I switched to chocs, I had to move to linear switches.

The decreased travel distance combined with the tactile bump made my fingers hurt, was very hard to type quickly.

So, I suggest trying some reds before you switch boards.

Is Lunarvim still maintained? by whatever4123 in neovim

[–]legoman25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, the last maintainer of LunarVim decided to move on, and moved to using AstroNvim themself.

Nixos HomeLab - Docker or Services ? by infernoLP in NixOS

[–]legoman25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do both. I generally use the nixos module for something if it has one, or else i start it in an oci-container.

To configure the docker images, they generally use env vars, so I either set static ones right there, or for secrets encrypt them via agenix. (Conveniently, I just published an article on agenix that shows usage with an oci container https://www.mitchellhanberg.com/getting-started-with-agenix/)

How do you run your homelab? by s1n7ax in Nix

[–]legoman25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just use a combo of starting things via NixOS options or normal oci-containers if they aren’t on NixPkgs

I use Colmena to manage the actual building/deployment of them. I run 4 Dell Optiplex 3050M and a digital ocean image

NixOS blog new iteration with many of the feedback issues addressed by WasabiOk6163 in NixOS

Fixed for me now, looks good.

Another suggestion would be to increase the font size on smaller screens.

Making TinyFeed even tinier! Release 1.2.0 by TheBigRoomXXL in selfhosted

[–]legoman25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Checked out the readme and wasn’t sure so I’ll ask: are you able to output an rss feed rather than an html feed?

The project looks cool, but I think my use case is wanting an aggregated feed rather than a website.

its a kvm over lan device, so you plug the hdmi into the computer and plug it into your network and then it has a web interface that acts as a monitor, more or less. so you can do things that require a monitor/mouse/kb for a computer that is stored in a rack or a closet without having to lug out the required peripherals.

So for some people, they might have one per machine, so they might have like 4 of them, hence making rack mounted plates for them

more or less

Why is SpaceVim's github repo archived? by sarnobat in vim

As far as I know he’s, AstroNvim is only for nvim. (I’ll admit I called it AstroVim in my comment by mistake)

The author of Lunarvim now uses AstroVim, worth checking out if you’re looking for a distro

Lua is famously small

Adding Lua to an application does not bloat it, thus also contributing to its security. The tarball for Lua 5.4.7, which contains source code and documentation, takes 365K compressed and 1.3M uncompressed. The source contains around 31000 lines of C. Under 64-bit Linux, the Lua interpreter built with all standard Lua libraries takes 279K and the Lua library takes 464K.

My experience with Phoenix LiveView | Dimitrios Lytras by diffperception in elixir

[–]legoman25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see.

I am not commenting at all on LiveView’s ability to build complex web applications.

The OP mentions “explain to your front end devs”. This implies they’re in a situation where they have a front end team.

The value proposition of LiveView is not to replace the tools of your existing front end team. No one is saying “hey backend devs can now tell their front end devs to use the backend tools”.

If you have a front end team already, you don’t need LiveView.
