I can't update my laptop on #NixOS because the auto-gc keeps running while it's trying to build and it's trying to clear up 8 Exabytes of space....

etc> running auto-GC to free 9223371990841200639 bytes

To be exceptionally clear: My laptop does not in fact have 8EB of space.

Anyone having any success using latest #Waybar in #NixOS? Having switched my #Hyrland to the new Lua config (a painful process, but there is nice power in the Lua config) I'd really like my `hyprland/workspaces` to work.

Ich benutze aktuell nur noch die Gemini CLI um den kleinen Homeserver zu verwalten 🫣

Ich habe dafür ein #NixOs installiert, als wÀre es extra für KI entwickelt worden 😁

I finally flicked the switch from #bluefin to a custom #nixos flake with #distrobox and #flatpak support in early February. Loving it. There's no going back!

The flake offers a curated basic setup that vibes well with #ublue spins. I'll release it after ironing out a few things and adding an installation ISO.

#reticulum lora #rnode #stationG2 set up to connect via bluetooth to linux #nixos laptop machine which uses #meshchat as the messaging gui.
Gruesome details here https://codeberg.org/adingbatponder/reticulum_nixos_flake/src/branch/main/docs/StationG2setup.md
based on fabulous https://codeberg.org/kraven/g2_rnode_firmware
(with Claude Code to the rescue).

Okay. So question for #linux or #security folks.

I want to set up a #nixbook (#nixos) computer set up as a public access computer.

I know how to harden the OS to avoid tampering. But how can I filter content? I'm already getting questions like, how can we prevent people from looking up inappropriate things?

How would you do it?

Claude Code on NixOS, part 2.

Wrote about why patching dynamically linked binaries is only part of the problem when modern AI tooling ships with its own assumptions about runtime, filesystem layout, and self-management.

When patchelf stopped working on Claude Code

A sequel to the NixOS fix. The patchelf-based shell.nix was working, then a Claude Code update made it produce binaries that segfaulted before main(). Three wrong hypotheses, one real cause, two more gotchas hiding inside the fix, and the resolution that finally made it all moot: nix-ld.

Joys of #NixOS: When you update at the wrong time, so hydra hasn't finished adding a package to the build cache yet, so now you're waiting for zed to compile from source.

I've met lots of people in the Nix space who love to rant about Java. But differentiating between different build inputs / dependencies has been the standard in Maven/Gradle for 20 years for good reasons...
At the scale of the nixpkgs repository you can't afford to build things for now good reason.
