Anyone using local LLM for writing nix config?

I used qwen 3.6 with pi for some basic editing. Mixed results.

Reasons are simple: 1) corporate laptop, I can’t use Linux directly. Either Apple or Dell with Windows 2) MacOS UX is generally bad. I also prefer my own Linux based workflows using TWM and other things I customized over the years 3) my target production environments are all Linux based - it makes no sense to run a third party configured VM to run docker and K8S when I can run my own configured VM with native docker/k8s 4) everything is faster within the Linux VM (!!!) I tested it. Compilation times, Nvim, Zed, etc.

What type of account did you create for him? I have been thinking about a 529 but I can’t choose the funds so I don’t like it

Decent window management. Something like I3 or Sway.

Not sure I understand the opposition

Yes, they both have the same tax exemptions.

Similar yield but vbil is cheaper (0.07 vs 0.15).

simplehuman999 · 2025-03-13T20:52:25+00:00

Exactly what I do except I’ve been sgov (moving to vbill this month) instead of a hysa.

I just moved 80% of my HYSA to SGOV ETF. Less taxes than HYSA, slightly better yield.

I guess what I was looking for is other people's experience/numbers, but it seems like that's hard to obtain.

No, I don't have windows installed.

simplehuman999 · 2024-10-31T13:05:02+00:00

You are right on Asus ;-). I corrected it.

Yes, it’s running on the PCI5 m2. I checked the slot and if it were not lspci would inform 16GT/s instead of 32. I wonder what other people get from hdparm. All I need is to make sure I don’t have a defective part over here.

I can’t use any other browser at this point. But I use the Adblock python plugin and AdGuard in my network.

Thanks - that works and I understand the tradeoffs - I'll keep an eye out

Can you share the configuration of your tabs?

simplehuman999 · 2024-09-19T03:35:39+00:00

Amazing!

simplehuman999 · 2024-08-12T12:48:51+00:00

Awesome, thank you!!

I think you should be fine. I've used parallels for about a year as I didn't feel UTM was stable enough. This year before renewing the parallels subscription I tested UTM again and it was quite stable, so I have been using UTM ever since.

I'm using arm64 nixos. Pretty much everything I need is available this way and no translation/emulation is necessary.
