Yes I know that there are workarounds for them to set to use the flake inputs but still… I have set nixpkgs version to 23.11 stable release and that’s good, but if I try to use nix shell, nix profile or even nix-env, they all seem to use the latest master/unstable branch to install the packages by default....
You want to look at the registry. Run nix registry list. You’ll see that nixpkgs by default points to unstable. You override this in your config. I’ve done that, where nixpkgs is stable and “unstable” is unstable.
I know that if using flakes nix shell is the right command. But I just want to know that is it normal for legacy commands to not work like that one? nix-env works tho....
I think this has to do with flakes. If you run something as a flake it doesnt use channels, which is the alternative. The import is looking for it as a channel on the host machine. With flakes its provided as an input.
It looks like nixinfo is explicitly looking for channels to tell you info, like how neofetch would tell you interesting stats. The same does not apply with flakes. There’s no “default” upstream package base that can queried by the system.
It is good for privacy but also has the nifty feature of not sucking and being reliable. It is so much better that Teams and my audio works reliability.
I think a bigger concern is if someone managed to access bitwarden on a logged in instance. Think, leaving your laptop open, or someone steals it from you. If theres two apps for logging then both apps need to be accessible/compromised.
So I joined a new gym last year and was pleasantly surprised. They gave me a smart card to get in and out, that’s it, no app, no accounts, no nothing. Well, today I got to the gym and saw the announcement that they are phasing out the access with the smart card and starting to use, you guessed it, an app....
Sometimes the app just shows a barcode that they scan. I always screenshotted the barcode and deleted the app. Better yet, save the barcode in catima catima.app
First wow character. Not sure how I came up with it. I knew I wanted it in “two parts” so I could name all my wow characters the same way: rutrum, vinrum, seprum…and many others Im sure. Havent logged into world of warcraft in many many years.
Usually I rely on my network & haven’t needed this kind of document in ages, but I’ve been tasked with creating a résumé for myself.

Most people don’t validate anything on a resume, depends on industry. If you think its too personal, dont put it. Make it up. Dont put your phone number or address if you dont want to. Or lie. Most applications I applied for I put the address of the town center in the city I live in. They dont need to know my actual address until I talk with payroll.
Ooh, can you explain how guns/shooting becomes a hobby? I can imagine how you might buy one for self defense or hunting, does that maks it a hobby or does it go deeper?

If you want to switch slowly, I would install nix and home manager on your Arch system, and slowly migrate your dotfiles, configuration, and packages into home manager. That will give you a comfortable transition opportunity to learn nix. Then, the last 10% of system configuration you can figure out when you install NixOS, and you can just pull in your home manager config for all your userspace dotfiles and programs. Thats how I moved from Ubuntu to NixOS.
And yes, you can have home manager just symlink existing config files to the appropriate location. You don’t have to rewrite everything in nix.
I think Bulletproof coffee goes a step further and adds some kind of oil as well. I’ve seen it made with coconut oil and butter. I’ve never blended it either. When I add butter, a lot of it floats on the top, which adds some changing flavors as you drink off the top.

Open source to some extend, but their whole thing about these emojis is that they are 3d and animated. But the repo only contains png renders if the 3d models. So you arent able to modify or animate the 3d models directly.
Imo they released enough to call it “open source” and get good PR from it without actually giving the raw source files to the community (their competitors). I was not pleased with this when they announced it 2 years ago. Its still the same.
I found one but after a limit you cannot use it anymore without making an account now i can surpass it by using different ip but the conversation wouldn’t go in a flow and it will get tiresome fast so if anyone know one which meets these criteria do comment ....
All kinds. You should look at GPT4ALL at gpt4all.io. Its a gui for downloading and running LLM models locally. Its a great project. Of course, everything is local and private.
I just switched one of my systems over to NixOS from Arch and so far it seems interesting. One question I had is regarding the nix-shell. So I get the basic concept of it and that it allows creating a shell that has packages installed with that shell making ideal for dev environments. I’ve even seen talks where the suggest...
How do you use your computer? Did you really just blow away your OS and jump to one you just heard about? I ask because I spend many months preparing to make the move, and I’m still working at a deficit, since my 4 year old OS had so many hours of tinkering that went undocumented and forgotten. Im still slowly configuring my nixos box. How did you use your computer?
My old OS is kind of a blackbox, in the that I played with countless tools, and I’m not really sure what I will want to reference later. For instance
Configure different wine tweaks for games
Playing with Monero and crypto wallets/miners
Different VMs for tinkering with OSs
Self-hosted software in docker containers, plus volumes
All the software tools I used for projects
Video game modding: some in linux, some in the “windows filesystem” created by steam with proton
Software installed from programming package managers: pip, cargo, npm
…and on. I played with a lot of things without regard for longevity or preservation. I didn’t even takes notes on what I did most of the time. So I got very worried about just switching OSs without a plan in place. Ultimately, I ended up doing the following to transition.
Started adding flakes to all my development projects. This would let me get my environment well defined before messing with my installations.
Installed nix and home-manager, and started slowly uninstalling packages from cargo/pip/apt/npm/flatpak/appimage/snap and add them to my nix config.
Bought a second ssd so I could preserve the current OS as is (this was much easier than shrinking partitions and install nixos alongside it, but it could have been done)
Finally made the jump, using the NixOS configuration on my laptop as a jumping off point. And I still reference my old OS as is, booting into once in a while to remember where things were. I don’t know if I’ll ever actually wipe the drive. I’m just not sure.
But of course…I’m on NixOS now! So much of these configurations and lists of software packages, will be documented forever.
nix shell and nix profile not using the branch defined in flake.nix?
