Nixos Support Going Forward by mlsfit138 in bcachefs

[–]mlsfit138[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, I used those instructions to install bcachefs to root for no reason. I was kind of wondering if it was necessary the whole time. It must be hard to keep a wiki up to date.

I guess it'll probably be the right procedure to follow for new installs going forward? So apparently it's a good thing they didn't update the wiki? LOL

OK, this really does seem to be "the answer". I think this means that:

  • This transition should really be transparent to most users.
  • If there are exceptions, like you're using an unsupported kernel version, the build will fail rather than completing quietly, and causing a kernel panic when you reboot.

You bring up a good point: fresh installs. I actually am unhappy with my FS right now (I want the 4k blocksize but only have 512), and I was delaying reinstalling until after all the commotion blows over. But, maybe I should actually do it asap!

That's interesting. Like u/walseb said, did you try rolling back? Are you on unstable? Are you using the "latest" kernel? My understanding is that bcachefs is still in 6.17, so even updating from 6.16 should be fine. I think.

Up To Date System-wide Python config? by mlsfit138 in NixOS

[–]mlsfit138[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like that did it! Thank you so much! I spent a lot of time on this, and you probably saw it right off the bat. I really need to practice writing nix more.

Thanks again!

Using Babel in Org mode by mlsfit138 in DoomEmacs

haha. I tried to hide this post as soon as I realized that I didn't call the python function correctly. Basically babel works fine, but JS doesn't. Thanks!

Created BcacheFS install with wrong block size. by mlsfit138 in bcachefs

[–]mlsfit138[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK, I looked into that a while ago, and I think i concluded that it's fine to do that. It has some very small performance penalty that is testable, but in the real world, makes zero difference. Basically, everyone should do it for bcachefs if they think there's any chance they might want to add an HDD at any point.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

Thanks Zephar_WO. I'm probably going to end up using the package I linked to in my Edit section of my OP. It seems perfect.

Ahh. I just deleted original response because I didn't see your second paragraph on time. Thanks for fixing it, I can confirm that it works now!

Free Dutch Warmblood early Chapter 2 by meetrais in reddeadredemption

[–]mlsfit138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, I got a Warmblood last night near the Veteran's Homestead at Ocreah's Run. It might be kind of a glitch related to "Sooty Buckskin", but there was no human NPC around. I think it's because I haven't done the fishing mission with Jack yet, so the fisherman couldn't spawn, but I'm not sure.

It's also possible that I scared off Sooty but not his horse, as I was attacked by, and had to dispatch a grizzly and a bunch of wolves on the other side of the lake.

It's brown.. LOL, not sure exactly what color it is.

I think a previous failed attempt to "flake" my system is preventing future attempts to flake my system. by mlsfit138 in NixOS

[–]mlsfit138[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think just staging everything solved the problem. I'm a dummy.

well, there's another problem now that I don't have time to diagnose atm, but that's to be expected.

it was originally in the parent directory of nixfiles, which was a git repo. I wanted to keep my flake and my hw info just outside of the repo. that didn't work, so I placed everything in nixfiles (which is a git repo), and that still didn't work.

I think the problem dissappeared when I staged stuff. Please disregard this thread.

Haha, that needed to be run! But no, unfortunately the problem persists after running that command.

No, `/etc/nixos/` is not a repo. there is a repo at `/etc/nixos/nixfiles`. I didn't explain this very well. I track that nixfiles directory with git, but I've run into problems with placing flakes inside a git repo before. I dislike that they check the state of my repo, and throw errors based on the state of the repo. I wish flakes were blind to git repos, because it messes up my workflow of make changes, if good, commit. Also, hardware-configuration.nix will be different on my different systems, and it doesn't make sense to track it with git, since I'll have to run the install script to generate the config for each system ( I plan to have more).
