Je viens de me mettre à #NixOS récemment et je suis surpris très agréablement. Rapidité d'installation, performance, solidité, et personnalisation à l'infini.
How does #NixOS handle security patches, when #GitHub is always down?

┃ trace: warning: The default value of programs.firefox.configPath has changed from ".mozilla/firefox" to "${config.xdg.configHome}/mozilla/firefox".
┃ You are currently using the legacy default (".mozilla/firefox") because home.stateVersion is less than "26.05".
┃ To silence this warning and keep legacy behavior, set:
┃ programs.firefox.configPath = ".mozilla/firefox";
┃ To adopt the new default behavior, set:
┃ programs.firefox.configPath = "${config.xdg.configHome}/mozilla/firefox";

┃ To migrate to the XDG path, move ~/.mozilla/firefox to
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mozilla/firefox and remove the old directory.
┃ Native messaging hosts are not moved by this option change.

I just lost all my open firefox tabs because this didn't work :/
I didn't want to do spring cleaning rn :/

Okay as it's such a hassle to get a working #Spyder going on #NixOS, I made this flake so you can use this command to launch Spyder with your desired packages available:

> nix run git+https://codeberg.org/nobodyinperson/nix-spyder#withPackages numpy scipy pandas matplotlib ...

EDIT: 👆 And Mastodon still can't do Markdown, so it wrecks the displayed link. If you copy-paste it, it should be correct though.

😑 seriously?

#nix #nixos

Would be really great if

> nix run codeberg:user/repo

was possible. It works for #GitLab and #GitHub already. #Codeberg should also work. Instead, one needs to write this unergonomic thing:

> nix run git+ssh://[email protected]/<user>/<repo>
