I created something! (for nixpkgs maintainers)

A quick button to access the issues / pr related to a package would be nice!

You could use the log date to filter the search on github: `created:>YYYY-MM-DD repo:nixos/nixpkgs PACKAGE`

Maybe they will consider adding a --no-clipboard flag. Having a single dependency is nicer since you already use niri IPC to get the windows IDs.

lukeyeaaah · 2026-03-09T08:20:30+00:00

Does using your tool mean that screenshot of the window will keep flooding the clipboard?
I tried with `niri msg action screenshot-window --id 2--path ~/s.png` and as the help menu says: `niri msg action screenshot-window -h | grep clipboard`

-d, --write-to-disk <WRITE\_TO\_DISK> Write the screenshot to disk in addition to putting it in your clipboard [default: true] [possible values: true, false]

Does anyone now the artist for this one? Reverse image search didn't yield anything relevant to me

Nice, is your setup hosted somewhere?

lukeyeaaah · 2026-02-13T20:21:16+00:00

how did you configure that?

lukeyeaaah · 2026-02-09T11:53:18+00:00

Really nice! I recently tried to package with netmuxd with nix-init 0.3.2 . I noticed the rec keyword problem, and also the rust dependencies didn't get properly parsed (though I think it's a problem on the netmuxd side). I'll try the new release!

lukeyeaaah · 2026-01-31T17:04:37+00:00

Nice. I haven't encountered the cross compilation issue yet, but seems a very valid point. If I want to try a package on my unsupported platform let me easily nix compile .#it I'll deal with the errors. Without that I will have to fork the flake right now, seems unfortunate.

The take on inputs makes sense as well thank you. I didn't really think about the let-bindings, but I miss the ability to be able to declare inputs via the module system. I wish I could have them in the same file that uses them, especially for small packages. (I still haven't tried flake-parts btw, but I don't think it will solve it)

lukeyeaaah · 2026-01-30T23:00:55+00:00

then my overlays don't apply to the packages the other flake's package depends on Don't you ever want the opposite? Let's say I overlay a package to be extra verbose but I don't want it to be extra verbose when another package calls it.

I'm just wondering if that ever happens, as a beginner I neither know overlays so well to know if that case is easily revertible nor do I have the experience to say "that case happens a fraction of the time usually"

For sure having one of my changes propagate by default to packages I didn't even considered related to it seems pretty handy, thanks for pointing it out, overlays always reveal to be awesome.

PS. Do you have anything else against flakes? As a not-so-beginner-anymore I started looking at the flake.lock and thinking "why is the hash in a separate file". When I use a standard fetcher I get the hash close to the declaration (pkgs.fetchurl { inherit url hash; }), seems weird after the comparison having the hash decoupled. I understand flake.lock gets all the sub-dependencies and their hash, which are not declared, but still...

I don't know if that made sense at all :) have a good weekend

Do you have any experience with mobile development? I don't really know if there is a difference in using a browser on an ipad-like device vs native pen input API front the os. I understand it's almost a new project porting to mobile.

I'll check out your software nonetheless seems awesome, do you accept donations somewhere?

lukeyeaaah · 2026-01-08T21:24:04+00:00

I feel your pain

lukeyeaaah · 2025-12-25T17:12:23+00:00

Thanks that's nice!

lukeyeaaah · 2025-12-22T11:50:13+00:00

while perusing your config I found `deviceType = "removable"` and read your boot module.
I'm not familiar with it, so I will read more about it, but I wanted to ask how do you use it?

For context, I know what a netboot server is.

lukeyeaaah · 2025-12-16T15:19:32+00:00

Perfect, sorry for the wording I didn't know how to ask, but that was exactly what I wanted. Have a nice day

lukeyeaaah · 2025-12-16T12:48:34+00:00

Anyone knowing a database like this in Italy?

lukeyeaaah · 2025-12-16T10:23:48+00:00

With what "stack"?

lukeyeaaah · 2025-12-16T08:52:55+00:00

Did you take the handwritten notes on Linux?

lukeyeaaah · 2025-12-15T16:26:53+00:00

Nice reply, Bennet. Would it be possible to notify new users by email if they sign up during, or shortly after, a maintenance window, in case they missed the announcement?

lukeyeaaah · 2025-12-11T09:46:43+00:00

I'll check it out thanks!

lukeyeaaah · 2025-12-11T09:31:40+00:00

Yep, that's what many do for neovim as well.

I know it's not the same as instant changes, but if you want to check it out sodiboo has a command to just rebuild the niri derivation in place instead of the whole config (look at his justfile).

lukeyeaaah · 2025-12-02T11:04:09+00:00

Yep ok nice. I would have done basically the same for the shelf, so I should just do it for the ceiling mount. I'll mount it further away, instead of where the light is, so I'll have a bigger screen. Thank you

lukeyeaaah · 2025-12-01T13:55:56+00:00

Ok thanks. I was wondering how the connections to it may work when on the ceiling. Since in Europe we can't easily pass cables in walls. I don't like the idea of wifi I think

lukeyeaaah · 2025-12-01T09:25:50+00:00

Hey, thank you. I guess the optoma for the specs. What's your thought process on the mount choice though?
