Uff, I don’t have any links and haven’t been tuned in too much, but amid all the toxicity on the forums, the nixos foundation got funding from some defense contractor and that kicked off a shitstorm. The forums became even more toxic than before with pro and anti defense contractors, which led to an open letter attacking the creator of nix and threatening with a fork.

Amongst all of that a nixos maintainer called jonringer became a polarising character and was banned (?) temporarily. He recently wanted to join again and that kicked up the dust again and it’s likely he won’t be able to contribute anymore.

A bunch of stuff happened in between like the creator of nix stepping down from his position (Benevolent Dictator For Life or something? dunno), many maintainers quitting, the foundation kind of giving in to the anti defense contractor crowd but the crowd not being satisfied and the pro-camp neither. A fork called auxolotl was created, but they don’t want jonringer in it either, and probably other stuff.

It feels like jonringer has a few people behind him but I don’t know if he would have enough support to fork nixos 🤷

There is no way to completely protect ourselves from cyber attacks, but at least we can avoid software with an “opinion.”

Well… everybody has an opinion. It’s inevitable as thinking beings. The difference is whether people are willing to act upon it.

There are many projects with a Code Of Conduct out there that could be interpreted as very left leaning. There are projects with the express purpose of fighting subjugation or helping journalists’ ability to report on political topics. Signal is an example of such a project. Are those projects to be avoided too?

Good grief, that community is toxic. Looks like some people are quitting over it. I’m curious where they’ll go to. They could move on to the Auxolotl fork, but hopefully it won’t be the toxic people joining that fork.

There is a nix/nixos fork out there called auxolotl. Dunno how active it is. The forum hasn’t seen significant activitiy in about a week. From what I gather the decision is to move away from github and a monorepo like nixpkgs. They are now on their own forgejo instance.

Thanks, great to know! systemd can really do a lot.

Perfect, that’s what I was looking for! Thanks dude.

My changes take maybe a few seconds less, but I find that quite normal. It could be faster, but let’s be honest how often does one run that? I run it maybe once a week or once a month. 25 seconds a week is nothing to me.

Normally I test packages with nix-shell -p $package then when I’m satisfied, it goes into my configuration and the time to do so doesn’t matter anymore.

JEP-400: UTF-8 by Default (18)

Wow, I always thought Java had been UTF-8 by default since v6 or something.

JEP-441: Pattern matching for switch (21)

Python got it too!

JEP-440: Record patterns (21)

Is this the easy replacement of “beans”?

JEP-409: Sealed Classes (17)

Huh? Haven’t classes had final forever?

🤔 I swear I’ve seen this multiplatform single executable before. Maybe nexe isn’t it, but as soon as she whipped out the hexcode and talking about binary headers, it felt more than a dejavu. Someone did it years ago, put it in github, and it was called an abomination.

It’s very similar in vein to this script that can be executed by bash and powershell.

I remember seeing something like this a while ago. Maybe she rediscovered the hack to make multiplatform executables on her own or she was inspired. nexe has existed for 11 years now.

Now I want to buy this for some colleagues. Might help them understand python 😅

Are lawn mower names normally wireless?

Great! Thanks for sharing the solution 👍 (And the instance)

Oooh! Check the users of searx and nginx! They don’t use your user but their own ones. You might have to add the searx user to the nginx user’s group, or vice versa, or a new common group.

I see you’ve activated the services but have you opened the firewall to outside traffic? Can’t remember which option that is…

Port 80 and 443 should do the trick. I see your searchxng instance is bound to 0.0.0.0, but it might be better to be explicit and use localhost after opening your firewall. You wouldn’t want the public internet to access it directly (I assume).

Nice. Another model trained on GPL code.

I’m happy that crypto is paying for opensource. Radicle might become something quite useful to devs who seek compensation for their opensource work.

Tot do that you need to start a systems service.

systemd.services.k3s = { ... }

These are the options you can set. You can inspire yourself from an existing module like deluge.

However, there already is module for k3s! All you need to do is set the options in your

configuration.nix

Are you seriously comparing installing from a repo or “app store” to downloading a random binary on the web and executing it?

P.S I’ve compiled a lot of stuff using nix, especially when it’s not in the cache yet or I have to modify the package myself.
