Love #NixOS?
I would love for you to join a Jails/Zones or bhyve Production User call to explain its approach and to answer questions!

In #nixos you can enable unfree software usage by package name and with regex now.
```nix
allow-unfree = [
"^cuda.*"
]
```

Hi #linux and #NixOS folks/consultants, I currently have a problem. I want to use #openssl 3.x with the #fips module in a distroless docker container, built by #nix. I have an example nix repo at https://github.com/andrewzah/nix-openssl-fips-test.
OpenSSL compiles with the enable-fips flag, but when I run the container, the fips provider does not appear. I'm not sure if it's the root cause, but with strace I see it wants to load glibc-hwcaps?
I've documented this in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/324013 and https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/11078.
I have a device. Someone updates the software or part of it without asking me first or giving me a warning nor offering to delay? Sorry. Don't get it. If someone came and changed a tire / tyre of my car without asking, is that not criminal damage? (My #nixos machine seems never to do this and my mac asks me first always). #CrowdStrike
@nobodyinperson Is there a link or further info onthis project. I would like to run #meshtastic #cli via #nixos on a #RaspberrPiZero #RaspberryPi
@thelinuxcast @koen@pr ocolix.social I worship #nixos BECAUSE is protects me from trying to do things I could never undo nor repeat 
J'ai fait mon choix, ce sera #NixOS !
Installation de l'OS en cours sur le ThinkPad.
moduleWithSystem is not the only way to pass the flake’s package to a #NixOS module. Other alternatives include:
Declaring an overlay (btw flake parts makes it easy) and asking that the developer of the consumer flake to include that overlay in their instance of pkgs.
Then, just use pkgs in the module as usual.
<h1>The module code in nixosModules/default.nix is not technically a module, it’s a function of perSystem argument that produces a module.</h1>The flake’s self reference can be passed same way and then the self.packages.${pkgs.system} can be extracted from it in the module code.
This was my pattern of choice, but I will try switching to moduleWithSystem moving forward.
It breaks my heart 💔 to see the way the Fediverse is discussing the issues arising from some FOSS projects like #Hyprland, #NixOS, and now the #Ladybird project. The divisiveness and lack of empathy in these discussions is truly sickening.
Our enemies are not individuals who spend their entire free time to contribute to FOSS and make mistakes along the way, but corporations and unhinged capitalism that take away our freedoms.
Let's resist the urge to condemn entire projects based on the actions or decisions of individual contributors. It's counterproductive. The beauty of this space is that we have the opportunity to engage in factual, nuanced, and compassionate discussions about these challenges. There's room for diverse perspectives and healthy debate here.
Isn't that what should set us apart from the toxicity and polarization found on platforms like X/Twitter? We're better than that.
The world is not binary. Just because someone isn't pro-something doesn't mean they're anti-something. And not being interested in a particular topic, how important it might be, doesn't make someone subject to be "purged". Life is complex and multifaceted, and we all have our own priorities and experiences that shape our views.
"Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her." (John 8:7) This verse serves as a guiding principle for me, and I believe it should be a cornerstone of any progressive community.
I just spent some time playing around with #NixOS for the first time, installed in vmm.
I quite like the idea of nix-shell to create an ephemeral environment.
I am not yet sure how I feel about the declarative configuration. It seems nice, however, after I learned that you can even configure vim plugins in it, I get the feeling that it moves users in the same direction as docker did. Yes, stuff works as expected and it's easy to configure, however, it hides the details from the admin...
Now there's something you don't see every day.

#Linux #systemd #Silverblue #GNOME #freedesktop #KDE #Ubuntu #SUSE #Fedora #NixOS #postmarketOS
NixOS 24.05 has been released with GNOME 46, Plasma 6.0, MATE 1.28, Kernel 6.6
@quentinsf Yes, one needs a brain & time. I compensate for the lack of the former with the latter. But the reason I am responding is that I think that #nixos is a like a virus: it spreads because one can share its DNA so easily via configuration files. This makes it a rampant collaborative tool & I am totally smitten by it. I do not change my configuration.nix often (I do not use other fancy stuff yet) but I honestly vastly prefer my #nixOS with 2nd hand #thinkpad to our horrid gummed up #apple
@akhil Thanks but must confess I did not understand that. In nixos all dependencies should be there when installed via configuration.nix. Looks like neovide is a wrongly packaged package in the repo, from a nixos point of view: unless I have failed to understand. I would expect nvim to start automatically when running neovide ? . #nixos #neovim #neovide
I'm as intrigued by #Guix as I was by #NixOS, but ultimately I'm not sure the complexity is worth it for me.
Even #OpenBSD has a ratio of complexity vs. benefits that fits well with my work (and play) flow.
#AtomicFedora, #UniversalBlue and #OpenSUSE #Aeon all hide enough of the nitty gritty behind the scenes — updates happen without me needing to know it.
And traditional #Debian is so familiar and reliable, it's hard not to tap it for just about any use case.
@kravemir @davisrichard437 Apparent #sjw comments in a tech project are so destructive to the harmony that it is something that could be part of the armoury of a very effective cyber attack by a state or corporate actor seeking to jam up FOSS. Agree that #nixos is so good it threatens corporations like Apple long-term. But I think that the problems are due to people so loving #nixos & their investment in it & being unable to put aside differences in value systems while collaborating.#lovenixos
@nat418 @crft The situation is sad & Orwellian. A large open-source project cannot control who benefits & who contributes. People who contribute to chats using their true ID can be mobbed & blocked by often anonymous others who do not like who the identified person works for, something about them, or their views derived from irrelevant places outside of the chat. This is wrong & the fallacy of #tribalism. So all #sensiblepeople stay away & the discussion is likely 95% unrepresentative. #nixos
This is an engineering opportunity for #NixOS. On an information sharing/messaging platform, moderators and individual users should be able to silence/mute individual messages and users. Users should still be able to view silenced/muted messages if they choose. If there are blatant repeated offenders there should be the option for account suspensions and bans. All messages of suspended/banned accounts should still be available to all users, if they choose to still see them.

@whydoesnothingwork Thanks 🙏 Really good clear useful video of how modules are needed / used in #nixos with the #configurationdotnix to set ( #port #ipaddress etc. ) parameters using #execstart and #systemd for an application / #package #clouddns providing a #service .
@CliftonR I only use Windows on a corporate machine that is fantastically set up by an army of IT support folks. My family use macOS which I "maintain" and I use #nixOS experimentally but cannot stop... it just grabs you and won't let go. I think it must be a virus or a drug or parasite. Should come with a health warning about addiction. Wonderful tech. Just wonderful. (But I do not use peripherals on it....just web/LAN based stuff.)
Anyone manage to get a #WAN #modem (#LTE for# 4G) on #Lenovo #ThinkPad #T480 or #T480s working under #Linux especially #nixOS ? (so you can insert a #SIM in the SIM slot and use the #cellular network directly for mobile internet without using WiFi nor your smartphone as a hot-spot). Thinking of #retrofitting one... but want to know if there is any point under Linux. Thanks!
@koalalorenzo The warnings & explanations are super. Amazing tool. Noob question: can one interact with a #nixos #gnome desktop, running on a distant server, via a local machine? What nixos packages might one use for such a #remotedesktop ? (Use case: Host a website on the cloud server & use nixos gnome desktop on the cloud machine/server to create & maintain it.... rather than just upload the web files, created on local machine, from my local machine to cloud server for serving...)
@nebucatnetzer @cnxsoft good question... I think it would be neat to have a #nixos test lab type service with a website where they take tech and answers that one question on request if enough funding comes in for that question. I would gladly pay a small fee to such a site to test for me and others who have chipped in. Testing can be done with a standard configuration.nix so the results should be fast and easy to share and replicate. nixos has so so many crowd sharing foss advantages.
@cnxsoft Anyone have a project or use case to share for this product combo 5 x #nvmessd #RaspberryPi5 ? Anyone using #nixos on this ? Cheers.

@matthartley rip again
didn’t contribute to docs (yet) or discourse but did to some packages in nixpkgs and moderately active in the #nixos-on-arm matrix chat
Anyone have a use case and configuration.nix example for #tailscale on #nixos ?
@makemake Nixos was what persuaded me not to move to apple, & stay foss. It was a revelation & I am sure that it will form the basis of foss OS ecosystem that will become very popular. Its popularity may even cause pressure on the foss governance concept as we have seen. I would not want the situation shown in the image. A single tool maintained to the highest level seems best. #nixos is simply superb. A big thanks to all involved. 
Have had to set my filters to exclude swearing & political tropes from timeline & blocked people who post & reply in a yuky manner here & elsewhere. I have tried using #reddit too & found less aggression for just 'having a point of view'. Reddit is not everyone's cup of tea, but I do recommend at least having a look to see what aspects might be different there if things get too yuky here for you here on certain topics. (Official #nixOS fora are too scary for me for now.) https://aux.computer/
I AM SO DISAPPOINTED WITH UBUNTU 24.04 😡
https://news.itsfoss.com/ubuntu-24-04-disappointment/
I'm so glad that I got rid of #Ubuntu (actually #Xubuntu) and #snap.
Now, I need to get rid of #NixOS as well, despite having invested (too) much effort. 😞
#Debian is my true and only safe heaven, as it seems.
I do have an opinion on the drama, although a not very much developed one.
But do I have to have an opinion on the idea of a fork?

#nix #nixos #life
Hello #Linux #LinuxMobile bubble.
I am searching for a tablet which preferrably runs mainline so #PostmarketOS or #NixOS are supported.
Must have:
- a sort of display via cable (USB-C, DP, HDMI)
- bluetooth for mouse and keyboard
- WiFi
Do any of you know of such a device? I guess #PineTab2 is not it?
Just got threatend with being blocked - seemingly even suggesting blocking on fosstodon by copying in some sort of fosstodon tag "@-fosstodon-" in the threat - for replying to a very important post about #nixos . I would recommend extreme care folks. It seems there are networks at work. How can someone from a different server chaos who posts publicly here effectively ask my instance to block me? This is absolutely unacceptable.
@rain If someone contributes openly to open source using their actual true identity, should that be discouraged by frightening off those whose employment or backgrounds or posts do not suit our world view? How is that going to work? We need to know who it really is working on the tools. It is not going to make it easier to spot nefarious planted backdoor committers if we force everyone to go anonymous. Can we let the code do the talking and keep the witch hunts for he history books? #nixos
I don´t care what you do so long as it is legal, including making weapons (not found a European society that survived without them), making profits (not found someone who can live making a loss); & I don´t really care if it is FOSS or not: but what I do care about is that it WORKS. Beautiful, reliable, evolving engineering is so beautiful that it transcends all politics & religion & social conflicts & language & culture. It unites & inspires. No-one should fight except to get it working. #nixos
How are #nixos contributors/maintainers geographically distributed? Wondering if many are in the US, esp. some who are unhappy with weapons / military / defense sponsors of, or involvement in, nixos? Perhaps folks in Europe, who have a land border with/near horrible regimes that invade neighbours, & whose own governments are running out of ammo, are really happy to have defense companies give us the means of defense & deterrent? Does the US have it so good that some have forgotten/no fear?
#nixos Umm how would a fork work - isn´t the whole point to have a massive package database and all that work goes to making it fab and complete and one thing? A fork of the packages database / sources would cause chaos, right? Is it not a particularly un-forkable OS ? Or can one fork the OS and share the package database as it is public... as you can see I am worried ... probably down to my ignorance.
@delroth “Now ‘everything is political’.”
… Says the smoked gammon working for the defense contractor at the heart of the controversy.
Oh, quelle surprise!
