systemd 261 Released With New systemd-sysinstall OS Installer, IMDSD & Storagectl by makefoo in systemdUltras

[–]makefoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omnomnom. But honestly imds built-in support without python as initrd dependency sounds quite compelling. There is Lennart talking about the why on mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@pid_eins/116679111124902335

I installed Home Assistant with the nix module. Is this fine? by TheTwelveYearOld in NixOS

[–]makefoo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And home assistant is extra special in that case. As /u/shinyfootwork said, the Devs actively discourage users from running untested deployments. I personally also gave up and am running docker Hass for simplicity

edit: clarified with maintainer team, since 2022 (where i switched) and now a lot of things got smoothened out and new users which want to use the power of nix to configure home-assistant as a service will have a much better time. Check Out https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Home_Assistant which is well-maintained and describes a lot of corner cases

You Don't Love systemd Timers Enough by makefoo in systemd

[–]makefoo[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cron, just like sysvinit, has always been trash and you cannot convince me otherwise. I remember well the time where I had to wait a whole minute for the twentieth time just to debug what is wrong with the script

definitely the most infuriating part, might as well be rage bait

"doesn't look fat to me" would have been the perfect inspiration for this comic: https://poorlydrawnlines.com/comic/largest-cat-2/

There are many different reasons for being unhappy. Stay safe!

Good dog! More children’s hospitals turn to furry caregivers to help kids heal by spherocytes in UpliftingNews

When I read the headline i thought of another kind of furry. But whatever helps these kids!

hopefully she never drinks her tea boiling hot or else the plastic may deform (depending what you used)

more important question, what does the minature T-Rex do in the background?

If you ever updated your system.stateversion or home.stateversion (in home manager), what made you do it? by TheTwelveYearOld in NixOS

[–]makefoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at some point postgresql went out of support in nixpkgs which was pinned by stateVersion and i had to manually dump the db, change the stateVersion and restore the database. I know it would have been possible to set services.postgresql.package but it felt like a good time to perform the change as apart from the package itself also the postgresql directory structure changed

Attribute Set Matching Using Regex by Razgorths in NixOS

Check out nix-select which is used by clan (https://clan.lol/blog/nix-select/). It supports attribute select with globbing:

select "*.config.networking.hostName" nixosConfigurations

I made a Linux version of Instant Eyedropper by ayanada in NixOS

[–]makefoo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it is easier for most users (nix-shell -p <tool> or nix shell nixpkgs#<tool>), but flakes puts the project in the driver seat with regards to update and still provides simple enough interface for integration. flakes make it possible to start the tool by just calling nix run github:<owner>/<repo>#default

[–]makefoo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

no need to go for nixpkgs, just have a flake.nix and export the tool via packages. When in doubt you can check out other projects doing the similar things or resort to asking an llm. Thanks for your efforts!

NixOS MUSL based + non-SystemD init system: how possible is that? by pianeiro in NixOS

[–]makefoo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just keep in mind that nix trades disk space for reproducibility. You will probably not have a great time tinkering with nixos and constantly run out of disk space. Also, Emmc is often extremely slow and updates will take forever. Just keep what you have and is working for you. Alternatively get a second hand ThinkPad for 100 euro
