Well… I guess I have to admit that I’m impressed with #Nix thus far. I’m trying it out by building a flake that configures both #macOS & #NixOS. I’m adapting my older configuration methods faster than expected and am rapidly moving towards a low friction way to keep multiple machines in sync.

Sometimes I love #nix, it's a fantastic tool and everything is fun.
Sometimes it does not work when it should and I want to throw my computer out of the window. It's just madness.
Tak se zdá, že na #LinuxDays nebude nic o #Nix(OS). Mojí přednášku odmítli a NixOS na routeru od Karla Kočího v programu také nevidím.

💚 Hallo Nele. 💚 Text ist gut. Bin konform. #Fediverse, ihre #EntwicklerInnen, die, die uns ihre #Server zur Verfügung stellen, gute, idealistische #Menschen. Werde auch #hier bleiben. Aber wieso immer entweder oder? Eingleisige Bahnstrecken sind auch #nix. Wieso seinen eigenen #Horizont unnötig einschränken?
Desto weiter der #Horizont, desto mehr Überblick. Was ist, wenn extraordinäre Informationen, Menschen ausgerechnet auf einer #Plattform unterwegs
sind? 💚 Lieben Gruß 💚

Wow. @nixcon #nix has been such a fantastic experience. It's been exactly my cup of tea regarding hacking, nerding, and socialising. \o/ I haven't felt so much at home in a technical community for quite a while – even though it's been the first time meeting many of you in person. And the feedback I see everywhere seems to tell the same tale for others, too!
My new NixOS configuration is available now at

Amazing talk by @farcaller about #kubernetes managed with #nix https://youtu.be/SEA1Qm8K4gY - something I would like to explore more
apparently some test somewhere likes to say hello many times but is speechless today 😂 :nixos: :
"> ERROR: test1 failed! Could not find the word 'hello' 26 times in the sample data."
If you're building a reproducible development environment for #RStats programming with #Nix, but need a package with remote dependencies, this vignette explains how to do so:

By the way, a few weeks ago I made this "Powered by #NixOS" 88x31 button to put on my site after I migrated it to the new server. Feel free to use it!

"the flake file format doesn't say anything about output types, they're arbitrary #Nix values [...] The semantics of flake outputs are defined by the tools that operate on them"
So many NixCon videos are available already! #nixos #nix https://www.youtube.com/@NixCon/videos
@IslandUsurper @alejandro completely valid point. I think the butchering for me is that I'm somewhat comfortable with all 3.
I have each running in some fashion or another. And I'm starting to consolidate to just one. 😅
I do really like #nix. And my #nixos has been pretty solid. But I also despise having to ssh to anything to deploy changes. It's the pain of the years before this latest generation that haunts me. I still remember what goes wrong then. ⚰️
"#Nix's design encourages a separation of build planning from build execution: evaluation of the Nix language produces derivations, and then then those derivations are built. This usually a great thing. It's enforced the separation of the more complex Nix expression language from the simpler derivation language"

It's great to know the #nix documentation project is funded with actual hard cash. Having good documentation is crucial to get the word around.
