Birkenhackers powering up our Apple IIGS late for #Marchintosh, we needed to use a projector since it was the only thing lying around supporting 15kHz VGA signals.

On a sidenote, we've been using a OnePlus 6 running #nixos as our web browsing and research machine.

What I want is #NixOS but run by people who actually care about other people, and not just about computers

Hey everyone!
#Nix and #NixOS enable declarative systems and reproducible builds — topics that are especially interesting to the systems community.

Next Tuesday (2025-04-15), Cyberus Technology is hosting a Nix #Meetup, and it's open to everyone!

Diesen Donnerstag, den 10. April 2025, haben wir bei uns im Chaostreff Bern einen Vortrag von cloudlena zu #NixOS

I continue to be incredibly frustrated with how difficult it is to fabricate a test virtual machine from an arbitrary #NixOS configuration and have that test virtual machine actually match the real thing on basic details like the (virtualized) disk layout and filesystem mounts.

Maybe I'm doing something weird here, but basically all the tests I want to do before pulling the trigger on a real installation are invalidated by this semantic gap!

I really wish whoever runs nixos.wiki would shut it down and just setup a redirect to wiki.nixos.org instead #nixos

How do I add a package to a #NixOS overlay for a specific architecture only?

#eMail #selfHosting gurus: I am looking for the simplest possible way to host myself a mailbox I can add to my email clients (Thunderbird, phone, etc.) as usual, so I can move mails there to free up space on the 3rd party "real" emails, then back them up separately on my server.

I do not want receiving or sending emails to work. Just an IMAP or whatever box I can shove emails in the face by dragging them in Thunderbird or with a script.

Ideally available in #NixOS

#dovecot?

Maybe I'm over thinking this.

In #NixOS , I want to simply have a job once a day, but only run when a user (any user) is logged in and at the desktop (since part of this job sends a desktop notification)

I was trying to do this with a systemd timer, but that's proving to be super messy having the service wait until someone is logged in.

Is there a better way?

@zstg, I just skimmed through your #nixos configuration. (seeking #emacs stuffs )

To get rid of files that only contain

imports = [
./file1.nix
./file2.nix
]

I think you'll have a great time using
automatic import (umport)
