I like NixOS and Emacs
how do you explain this

i have nothing to comment on the rest of this thread, but actually 🤓🤓🤓 emacs is usually used as a graphical application now (though it does have a text mode)

my emacs isn't in a terminal, my emacs is a terminal

almost related tip for emacs users, you can just use the nix repl inside emacs
(comint-run "nix" '("repl"))
and it just works

this has been quite nice for testing code (e.g. that nix testimonial was made in here)

this is actually stupid code i had def there first as like (def "applications") in the list and then thought of mapping it, i'm sorry i have fixed my crimes

every configuration language in the world should just be a programming language

i can only see it in the video on the secondary display

and now shifting things around enough there is a triangle shaped half of the screen flickering, and the rest is not, you can kinda see the edge in this screenshot

this is a quality vibe

i love routers so much

before and after a factory reset (+ config restoration so idk what the problem even could have been)

probably bash's fault to some extent, this works as you would expect (nothing happens)
August 12, 2025 at 6:43 PM
it's pretty simple, there's 'services.emacs' in home-manager
then you just run "emacsclient -c -a ''" instead of emacs

somewhat related question maybe someone knows the answer to, how would i do the nix store fix from a live usb on an "impermanent" system, my / is a 10 mb tmpfs

i tried to nixos-enter into mnt but that did not work
June 29, 2025 at 9:01 AM
finally got fed up enough

probably could have just reinstalled and that would have magically solved the problems or something, but i just couldn't bother

having some minor issues with setting up nix to deploy server updates, but i can just boot back into nixos quickly for that

idk what this means

Sorry, bluesky understood the link boundary wrong, this is supposed to go into your configuration nix, the real link is
github.com/nix-communit...
you're supposed to replace the import like this

"${builtins.fetchTarball LINK_HERE}/nixos"

nope, but if you're in a hurry and you have steam installed, you can run it using 'steam-run'

just get the zip and uncompress it, 'steam-run ./cyd' in the directory

updating my flake inputs, how did i cause this, does stylix just need an update on their end?
May 20, 2025 at 8:18 AM
also due to it's nature the content from there won't ever show up in search engine results, which is probably where most people go to look up stuff

even for a very common thing like steam the first result is the outdated nixos.wiki (though tbf it is correct here)

idk how sincere this question is but i'm going to be an ai brx for a bit here

i found NoobAI XL a couple days ago and i've been playing with it since then, it took a while for me to get a good visual style but the lighting and colors are pretty great for ai, probably due to v-pred instead of eps
May 8, 2025 at 9:06 AM
and i have no idea where the fuck this is happening, i just grepped for nixpkgs through the whole flake and it is not set inside home-manager 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

i'm going to lose my fucking mind with all of this why can't anything ever work
February 24, 2025 at 10:30 PM
Org babel deployment "script" for my website

It's made with the leptos rust framework, i build a docker image with nix and crane

I couldn't get docker login with gitlab tokens reliably working for whatever reason, and i was getting tired of manually copying it over

Emacs is awesome

i'm so good 😎
February 12, 2025 at 3:52 PM
but yeah i probably just don't have enough experience with yaml, i've only really worked with docker compose files

when i was writing a homepage.dev configuration, seeing what nix values get turned into what yaml syntax surprised me

nix is better than python confirmed
