Fellas, I have 2 months before my next major commitment, my j*b. Wish me luck as I attempt to fully internalize the workings of #nixOS, #nix the language, and nix the pacman. I'd set up a #systemd #nspawnd #container for regular linux work. (I'd like other suggestions on this). My current plans:

- #flakes/'modern' practices
- dotfile integration (not using #homemanager)
- use #bitwarden integration somehow natively and bridging between bitwarden store cloned locally and #linux keystore (not even sure what I mean here)
- #secureboot that unseals the encrypted root partition keys from the TPM and auto-decrypts my root
- #nixpak as much
- package my scripts to be proper packages/flakes/modules/whatever for better integration
- #snix/ #lix?
- #dhall config instead?

Give more suggestions/tips

maybe its happening on my system
as #lix has made some commits in view of some #infosec threat recently

An integer overflow vulnerability has been reported and mitigated by the #Lix project as part of a security coordination with the CppNix project.

https://lix.systems/blog/2026-05-05-lix-unsigned-integer-overflow/

All releases are available, installers were published, Nixpkgs small channels contains the fixes, patches are available. We recommend you upgrade at the earliest if you are at risk (see the additional guidance section).

Whenever I can, I always add the option

--log-format multiline-with-logs

to my #nix commands just to get that maximum verbosity and scroll through history in case of failure.

Ps: #lix recently added an option to nix.conf to make it a default behavior. 😀

Very cool. 😎

There is also a mention that this uses #Lix by default.

my #lixcon2026 talk about build system yuri has been released: https://media.ccc.de/v/lixcon-2026-2-nix-and-buck2-from-enemies-to-lovers-with-snowydeer

slides: https://jade.fyi/lixcon2026

we build #nix store paths entirely outside of nix using deps from nix, then re-import them (with correct deps!) into nix once built. this powers writing a docker image in 6 lines of code without devs touching nix language at all.

you can use a new parameter in #lix 2.95's CLI to import store paths built by other build systems like we're doing, using `nix store add-path --references-list-json`.
happy yuri!

Just watching the #lixcon talks, and the current talk just talked about "Botanix", does someone know where to find it? I might have missed where he said it's still unpublished?
