Sitting here for over 30 minutes now and trying to figure out what ArchiSteamFarm changed that our tooling broke and can no longer update the dependencies.
I've got a #nix#nixos question for you smart beautiful people:
I've got a program that uses pygame and pyusb installed via shell-nix. I want to also pull in pycycling, but that's not packaged. If I create a venv and install everything via pip, pygame does not work.
My question: How do I install pycycling from pip while still being able to use the other packages installed via nix-shell?
It almost feels like Mastodon do not want us to self host. There is no direct link on the main webpage to install on server. Digging through the docs, finally found documentation and there is no Docker container or a package for any OS for easy installation. They require us to install from source along with all the dependencies. I don't mean to bad mouth it but they do not do enough to encourage self hosting (if not discourage).
Would like to know your opinions or ideas on how to self host it easily with minimum maintenance (auto upgrades, etc).
just now with 24.05 i've had this scenario where a software based on nixpkgs 23.11 got incompatible with 24.05 due to dependency changes. #nixos does such a great job. i can still run the 23.11-based flake on an otherwise full 24.05-based system. i mean, i know this is a feature and it should work. but being in this situation and being able to solve it with such ease ist just. stunning. thanks #nix people! on debian i would have no hair left to be ripped out in this situation.
That new pnpm fetcher is so much better than the old way. No longer do I need to collect 5 different hashes and half of them get invalidated by ofborg.
Found one little improvement and already did a PR for it. Now the fetcher informs you, when you need to use a different pnpm version
Yesterday I finally nuked my Windows 10 gaming machine and installed #NixOS. I was a bit afraid of the Nvidia graphics card but I literally just turned 2 options on and could build a working custom ISO and install the system with them as well.
I had literally more trouble to properly format my disk 😂
My current working theory is, that just the hybrid/prime laptops are so troublesomed.
#TIL: You want to declarative configure your firefox but you have no idea what all those settings in about:config are and the web is not helpful?
You can just copy ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/prefs.js to a temporary directory, change the setting in the Firefox UI and then diff the two files and voila, you got the key and value to write into your #NixOS config.
Sorry für weiteres #NixOS Simping, aber man kann sogar #Flatpak den Nix Way installieren. Einfach geil. :owi:
Wie kommt es, dass NixOS nischiger ist, als #ArchLinux oder #Gentoo? Das ist der beste Weg eine #Linux Distro zu konfigurieren, den ich je gesehen habe. Ich wünschte, ich hätte es früher gekannt. Von NixOS habe ich das erste Mal vielleicht von vor ein paar Monaten oder so gehört.
#TIL doing mkswap is not enough when the partition was a zpool before and the automatic import #NixOS does via zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-id finds it anyway as long as there is not other pool already loaded with the same name.
Just don't mix up partitions when formatting 😂
PS: systemd-boot doesn't understand ext4 on /boot and having /boot on root and just separating /boot/efi works with grub out of the box or when setting a extra setting which I have of course did not have
floyd (lenovo x260, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD): programs.gnupg.agent.pinentryFlavor now works different. Easy to fix.
Update took 2 hours(!) and +20GB data
jackson (lenovo t490, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD): virt-manager-qt doesn't compile but it never worked anyway, so I removed it. Took 7 minutes and used +18GB data.
So it went more or less fine but you need time + large storage meda for Nix.
For all the #sops#nix enjoyers out there, Where do you keep your #AGE key? Does it just live on your drive? Do you use something like a #yubikey? Because boot strapping the key with sops obviously doesn't work
Ich weiß wirklich nicht, was mit dem #Nextcloud Klienten nicht stimmt oder das ein Problem von #NixOS ist. Egal was ich mache, der Client will bei jedem Neustart warum auch immer die Konfiguration von .local zu .config migrieren was fehlschlägt und dadurch kann der Client nicht mehr synchronisieren und logt mich aus. Selbst wenn ich den Konfigurationsordner festlege funktioniert es nicht. Diese beiden Ordner zu löschen bringt auch nichts, das ganze geht einfach von vorne los.
Deswegen immer die Dokumentation lesen. Dass es so weit unten innerhalb des Wikis ist und dazu auch innerhalb des Wikis für den #Nextcloud Server, spricht aber auch nicht gerade für eine gute Organisation. Aber ich habe in den letzten 2 Tagen immer wieder gehört, dass die #NixOS Dokumentation ziemlicher Müll ist. Davon abgesehen ist NixOS aber ein geiles System.
