Guten morgen,
gibt es eigentlich ein #NixOS Noobie treffen (online) o. ä.?

Ich bin gerade am überlegen, ob ich selber so ein Treffen organisiere.

The {option}`programs.mcp.servers` schema is now typed. Instead of freeform JSON objects, structured options are used: {option}`command` and {option}`args` for local servers, {option}`url` for remote servers, {option}`env` for environment variables. Environment variables can be specified as literal strings or as file references that are read at startup: ```nix env.API_KEY = "literal"; env.SESSION_TOKEN.file = "/run/secrets/token"; ``` The {var}`lib.hm.mcp` library provides helpers for transforming MCP server configurations and is used by opencode, claude-code, codex, antigravity-cli, zed-editor, and vscode for MCP integration.

Has anyone had screen brightness control issues when updating to #nixos 26.05?

I was testing the channel upgrade in #nixbook and on my tester HP Dev One (Ryzen 7), I lost backlight control, after it had been working for years on previous channels.

What could have changed? Please feel free to check out the logged issue and boost

I've got a HP Dev One (AMD Ryzen), and it's been working perfectly for years on Nixbook. In fact, it was the first machine to ever run Nixbook and has been my tester for years. However, I was testi...

@nixCraft imperative upgrades… *tsts*… in the cult of #NixOS, we only upgrade the dependencies of our pure declarative configs, cleansing the computer of all its impurities.
Shocked that it has taken me so long, thanks to a heads-up from a friend & #nixos via #claudecode, to see that I should have set up:
(1) #ECH on my #reverseproxy serving my sites
(2) #DoT on my daily driver.
#DNS url names (web addresses) are *not* #encrypted by default even on sensible operating systems!
The incessant leakage to #ISP & intermediaries of site names visited in 99.9% of cases is an egregious #privacy issue I never knew of. Using #DoH is next? All fixes rely on #CloudFlare OMG

dbus-broker plus seeding the root user password with sops and/or a combination of userborn might render your NixOS 26.05 unbootable more or less.
For one of our machines that combination caused a restart of dbus-broker and then the machine froze and shortly after that did a hard reset.
Same config on another machine takes really long time to boot, but it boots.
