Ok, does anybody have the #grampsweb container running successfully on #NixOS? The celery container refuses to run and I'm unable to get past making the initial account.

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration.
Congress can:
- Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage)
- Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes
- Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same
- Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction
It can be done.

Okay I'm confused with #sops-nix, in setting up a service (in this case, Lubelogger) on #NixOS, I can't use Setting = config.sops.secrets."server/lubelogger/oidc_secret".path; to sub in my Pocket-ID secret? It gives the actual path (/run/secrets/...) but nothing else will build. Docs haven't helped.

Austin Eschweiler - Fundraising For National MS Society
I’m participating in Bike MS: MS 150 Minnesota 2026 to raise funds for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Nearly one million people in the US are living with the challenges and uncertainty of MS. With more than $1 billion invested in MS research, the Society has categorically transformed the landscape of MS. The funds I raise through Bike MS will fuel the work that removes barriers that prevent people from getting the care they need. Your support will help continue our work towards a cure — donate today!

Egads, I have installed #NixOS on multiple devices using #NixAnywhere and it's all secured with #SopsNix. Is this what competency feels like?!
One of the devices is a test server that I'll be using to slowly migrate my hosted services over from Proxmox.

Got a job rejection letter today. Really wish places would send a sanitized copy of the resume of the person who got it to those who didn't, so we can at least see what we didn't have or could work on...

I think I'm misunderstanding sops-nix for #NixOS deployment on a new device. Do I need to add the key.txt manually or just add the new device's ssh key into the .sops.yaml file and its understood that it's trusted?

Still working on getting the #NixOS server config written, deciding to also learn how #nixos-anywhere works. Biggest hurdle seems to be I get my main decryption key into /var/lib/sops-nix so the user creation stuff works.

I'm comfortable enough with my #NixOS setup on my tower, laptop, and Deck that I'm now looking at refactoring my homelab to use it. Any suggestions or recommendations for me as I dive down the hole that is secrets management?

My #SteamDeck is running #NixOS and works (almost) perfectly!
Gaming works just fine, desktop mode controls are pretty wonky without a mouse/keyboard, and you can only declare the installation of decky-loader, not any of the plugins (yet, looks like there's a PR for it being worked on)

Today, I'm thinking of Paul, Sheila, Marcia, Mary, Tom and Will. They were taken from us much too soon. We honor their memories by continuing to organize every day.
Paul believed that when we all do better, we all do better.
So today, stand up and keep fighting. 💚

Okay, I'm stumped with a #NixOS problem: (almost) every time I rebuild, I have to rm `.mozilla/firefox/default/search.json.mozlz4` and `.thunderbird/default/search.json.mozlz4` to get it to build. Is there a way to do this without `backupFileExtension`? I want to just --forceclobber...

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.
