I added support for managing MicroVMs using microvm.nix in nilla-utils today!

Finished converting my config to nilla, had to disable some stuff for now, nothing critical but i will fix it over time. Hit a weird issue with build where commiting change make it fail but making any change let me build again ! opened an issue to see if i did anything wrong or if something can be done to avoid this problem. #nilla
Manage to make a first build of a very basic qnd minimal version of my main nixos config with nilla, very happy, still lot of work to do but that where i failed last time i tried !! #nilla

Totally agreed with this post! Furthermore, flakes don’t allow lazy loading of inputs. So if you share a flake across multiple machines (useful for coordinating version updates to interoperable software!) you better also make sure that every machine has access to every input described.

This was the impetus for me to switch to #npins and to test drive #nilla https://hachyderm.io/@jakehamilton/114491557323523150

@arichtman @jakehamilton You beat me to it, but since I gathered the links...

Based on @samueldr 's "Nix Flakes is an experiment that did too much at once…" https://samuel.dionne-riel.com/blog/2023/09/06/flakes-is-an-experiment-that-did-too-much-at-once.html⁩ and the fact that npins only resolved one if those problems, I _was_ going to ask what you recommend for the other five things that flakes attempt to solve, but now I know your answer is #Nilla.

Cookie-mageddon begins…with #truffles 🍫

#rumballs are just a paste of crushed #nuts Nilla wafers, sugar, cocoa…and lots and lots of #rum 🥃

I also made #oreo truffles which are even easier, just Oreos smushed up with a block of cream cheese and dipped in #chocolate (my dipping skills leave something to be desired 😂)

Now that these are done I can focus on cookies and caramels next 😋🍪
